[Husker] Cut

[Jerry Meyer]

Tony, I'm right there with you, coming up on 49, not quite up there with all the AARP listers, but close enough to start working on my golf game in preparation for the senior tour (now if I'd just had some talent to begin with it would be a lot easier  ).  My first in person game was the 31-21 loss to Southern Cal in 1969.  I do remember kicking the football around in the back yard starting about age five or six and listening to KFAB's scoreboard show giving final scores from around the country of 20-13, 13-12, 16-14, etc., back when kickers weren't as good and the extra points and field goals were not a sure thing by any means.    Games against Dan Devine's Missouri teams stick out for 16-14 or 16-13 final scores back in that era.  If a team scored in the 30's it was considered a very strong offensive performance.  Now in many circumstances if good teams don't score in the 30's the offense played poorly.
