[Husker] Spring Game

[Bob Beach]

    If anyone is going to the spring game from out of town 
beware.  The game is a sell-out and the streets in downtown 
Lincoln are a mess.  Ninth Street is under construction and the 
"O" Street overpass is under construction.  Arrive early and 
don't be in a hurry to leave.  The game is sold out at somewhere 
around 70,000.  Downtown Lincoln shouldn't be a lot different 
than during a regular Husker game other than the streets being a 
mess.


     I used to go to the game almost every year but the last one I 
was at is when Crouch was a junior.  I quit going because it 
really isn't much of a game.  As a matter of fact it is pretty 
boring.  You have to be a fan that is really into wanting to see 
how certain people perform and even then the spring game isn't 
a real barometer.  Regardless of who is the Head Coach they 
usually keep things pretty basic.  I understand the game isn't 
intended to be a great game but to evaluate talent.  I'll be 
honest, though, by the middle of the second quarter I found it 
hard to stay into the game.  That is not meant to criticize people 
that like it.  That is just me.
