[Husker] I am SO SICK OF THIS CRAP

[Eric Erlandson]

If you commit to playing somewhere with higher regard for "tradition" and 
"granddaddies" or whatever than for championships, you should NEVER win it 
all (unless it just so happens that the other team you play is also among 
the top two).

We'd have happily played Michigan that year.  They just wouldn't play us. 
What could we do?  We waited for them after school, and they had Mom pick 
them up at the door for some kind of "appointment."
