    Notice I have quotes around the word "thrill".  I was tongue in 
cheek as the team felt it was anything but a thrill.  It was always a 
full blown backside kicking.  We were just way out of our league.  We 
also played UNO in a home and home series every year.  They were very 
good as well but we could compete with them.  As a matter of fact one of 
the games I will always remember is when we played UNO my Senior year at 
Orville Smith Field in Ralston.  It was the second game of a 
doubleheader which then doubleheaders were seven inning games.  My 
roommate pitched and I caught.  We beat them 1-0 in eight innings.  My 
roommate threw something like a two or three hitter.  Thanks for letting 
me reminisce.
