     Not Husker related but coaching legend John Wooden fell at his 
house the other night and broke two bones.  Nothing life threatening but 
at 97 years old bones don't heal quickly either.  I wish him the best.  
I don't know him at all but I understand as good coach as he was he is a 
better person.  I still think his championship record is the most mind 
boggling thing in all of sport.  And remember back then they didn't take 
62 teams or whatever to the NCAA.  It was something like 32.  At one 
point out of 12 years he (UCLA) won 10 championships and at one point he 
(UCLA) won seven in a row.  When we see that NU has never even had a 
NCAA tournament win and how hard it is to even go back to back this 
seems like someone is making it up.  But it is indeed fact.
