[Husker] Great performance

[Steven]

OK...I usually wait to respond, letting my blood pressure calm down..   I 
lived these close calls with Oklahoma and Miami in the 70's and early 80's . 
I am nearing 50 years old... I now live in Oklahoma, I am a vice president 
at a bank... This said... I lived in or near Omaha from 1963  until May 
09...  I attended 111 of the 300 sell-outs in Lincoln.  I went on a NU game 
binge attending
NU-Baylor...NU OU... and NU-Kansas...but opted out of tonight's contest. 
The Oklahoma Cornhusker club had many events in the Arlington area... Here's 
my take...

A kick-off out of bounds...and a horse-collar ; cost us the game...but 
football is that way. I will sleep well... We have an excellent core to 
build on...I used to answer questions about why the team played the way they 
played...Look  it makes no difference what I wear, It makes no difference 
what I eat...how I prepare, or even where I live...I will hold my head high 
tomorrow at church.

College football is absolutely fantastic... GO BIG RED!

I made some excellent baked-potato soup...

I just won't have to bear the World Herald showing up on my stoop.

This was an exciting game, and I must admit, a better performance by the 
Huskers than I expected.  Texas has a very potent offense, and the 
Blackshirts shut them down.  My heart was racing from the opening kickoff to 
the finish.  I'm sure I'm not alone as someone who thought the game was over 
on Colt McCoy's last play.  Couldn't have been any closer than that.

Some quick comments.

What happened to Helu?  Burkhead was getting a lot of snaps.

Some controversial penalties (pass interference against Hagg) contributed 
greatly to  6 of Texas' points.

Suh, Crick, Allen, Turner, Hagg, Gomes, Amukura, O'Hanlon, Asante all had 
great games.  Probably more, but can't think of them right off hand.

Niles Paul also had a great game.

Offense better figure something out before the bowl game.

My heart is still pounding.
