[Husker] Misc Husker Notes

[Steve Reichenbach]

I don't disagree with the sentiments expressed about other things that
comprise Nebraska football traditions and it certainly is true that the
coaches were not the only traditions of Nebraska football, it's strange
to hear someone say they feel that people such as Frank Solich and
Turner Gill coaching at Nebraska "have nothing to do with [the real
traditions ... of Nebraska football]".  I guess I feel that they have
more to do with that tradition than the connections most people have to
the program, no matter how dearly others hold those traditions.  I just
don't understand regarding the soggy Runzas that are now-a-days are
served at the stadium as having more relevance to Nebraska football
tradition than the people who really contributed to the program.
