[Husker] Bitter cold Huskers games

[jon johnston]

I was waiting for someone to mention '82 OU too. It was cold enough  
that someone threw an orange, and being frozen, permanently injured a  
referee when it struck him the back of the head. Thus ended anyone  
throwing anything from the stands forever.  Seems to me that plenty of  
people had anti-freeze going, though.

Damn near died at that game, fell down under the goal post while it  
was being torn down. Some huge guy lifted me off the ground, saved my  
life. I run to the 50 yard line, and there was a student sitting there  
in his underwear, eating a frozen orange. I kid you not.  I never took  
acid, so it couldn't have been a flashback. :)
