[Husker] Memories

[Richard G Smith]

I like to remember the respect we had for our Oklahoma rivalry.  I recall that I was traveling quite a bit and my wife was at home (Kansas).  I called her and told me to meet me in Beatrice the day before the Oklahoma game in Lincoln.  When I got to the motel, I asked about my room and they told me what room it was but also said my wife was not in the room right now.  When I asked why, they told me that she was in the bar with some Oklahoma guys....I went to the bar and sure enough there she was with 3 guys from Oklahoma.   They were on their way to the game also and since they had never been to Lincoln.....they loaded up in my car and we had parking passes right at the stadium.....After the game, I took them back to Beatrice and they went home and my wife and I returned to Kansas......Such respect back then..
