[Husker] More Data - Small World

[Jake]

I posted my age and Husker heritage previously - 58.  I now live in Florida.

 

It was a pleasant surprise to see Larry Fish post the message below.
Haven't seen, or known the whereabouts of, Larry since he graduated from
UNL.  Larry and I attended the 1965 Cotton Bowl with two other friends from
Benkelman.  Hey, Larry - remember how Chek turned into a maniac and punched
a hole in the hotel room door after chugging half a fifth of Canadian Club?
If only we could have somehow transferred that aggression to the offensive
line the next day.

Age 63. UNL class of 1967. I was a freshman in Bob Devaney's first year,
1962, at Nebraska. In that year, I remember getting a season ticket on the
45-yard line a little more than half way up the east stadium because demand
was not very strong. There were many empty seats above me for the first
couple games. 55-0 wins over the likes of South Dakota soon created strong
interest. Starting the following year, and each year thereafter, I was
relegated to the end zone locations by lottery.

 

I started subscribing to this list about the time Mike was typing the
play-by-play of the games. There has been no radio station within reception
distance of eastern Idaho that carried the Huskers games, so that
play-by-play was very much appreciated.

 

I had the unfortunate timing of living in Norman, OK, in the mid 70s when OU
had the Selmon brothers and Joe Washington with the wishbone.

 

Steve, I grew up north of Benkelman, so I know Imperial very well.
