[Husker] Cut

[Tony Lambert]

Memories of Nebraska football were made this fall. My Niece and Her 
husband  were in town from Charlotte, North Carolina.
He made the comment about the Huskers being at home for the Kansas game. 
I said yes they were and I asked if he would like to go. He said sure.
 So I showed him all the pregame I could like the side track, Barry's, 
and tail gating. We got to the stadium went straight to the field. My 
son asked  if we could get our pictures taken in front of the doors 
where the huskers run out onto the field. We got to take the pictures. 
Stood and watched the huskers came out for their pregame. And during the 
game when it was loud. He makes the comment about the intensity and How 
we take our football serious. So I guess I made a husker fan out of him 
and he will have the memories to last him a live time also.
