[Husker] A Sea of Red - A Nebraska Football Annual - AWESOME!

[jon johnston]

Thank you for the nice feedback. I appreciate that.

As for the 'Nebraska Way' piece, what I didn't want was another nice  
fluffy article about how the Nebraska Way is about hard work ethic,  
resilience, and all that gooey stuff. I knew Brandon had a different  
perspective on it and that's why I asked him to write it.

I was worried about how it'd be received and so far things are going  
pretty well.

Thanks again!
