     In the first place.  I don't care what people do or what they 
enjoy.  If they enjoy something that is fine.  That is totally their 
business.  I am sure I enjoy things other people do not as well.  
No problem from me.  I was just stating my feeling about the 
Spring Game any year even when TO was coach.  


     I was sitting at a local sports bar on Friday night talking to a 
guy that was going to the game and he was in from Springfield, 
MO.  He said he was going to meet people from Indianapolis 
and from somewhere in Illinois, I can't remember which town.  
I wouldn't drive that far for any Spring Game and especially 
now with the price of gas.  He told me in year's past he got to 
Lincoln and back on about $40 worth of gas and this year will 
probably be around $175.  It is interesting.  I live less than 2 
miles from Memorial Stadium and didn't go and there are 
people that come from hundreds of miles out.  I am sure the 
party atmosphere of a game day draws people plus like this guy 
it gave him a chance to get together with people he normally 
wouldn't see.  What I would find interesting is how many were 
there at the end of the game or at least into the fourth quarter.


    Just to restate, I am not knocking anyone for their choice to 
be interested and/or attend.  I just personally don't get that much 
from it and at this time of year would rather follow the baseball 
team.  By the way the Husker Baseball team beat KU 8-6.
