[Husker] A&M two point conversion

[jonlists at cbsol.com]

How 'bout this easy explanation. Dennis Franchione is an idiot. I think 
90% of the Aggie faithful would agree with that statement. 

And honestly, if we complain about someone else running the score up on us 
after we've been beating the hell out of some of these people, it makes us 
sound more sour than we already do. 

Same explanation we've given them for years. If you don't like it, stop it 
on the field.
