[Husker] Nebraska beat TX Tech

[Steven Johnson]

This thread has taken on lots of different looks in it's lifespan... I do 
know that Texas Tech had already agreed to hire Pat Knight as Bobby's 
successor.  They had approved the salary requirements and even an 
approximate transition at the end of this season.  Bobby just accelerated 
the process a bit.  I am not sure why that happened,  Bobby and Pat know the 
reason for that.  This wasn't a surprise, because I heard about the 
transition about a year ago.  It was published somewhere.

Class of 83
