[Husker] Misc thoughts

[rczeranko]

The difference between the 1993 Orange Bowl and last night's game is that
the clock must stop upon change of possession, but the refs let more than
1 second run off the clock (which actually was an "egregious clock
error"). I remember watching it like it was yesterday and being totally
PO'd (if any of the listers or reporters were around me I would have
accused of not representing the university very well) when they let the
clock run out. Unfortunately, Nebraska missed the field goal.

As it stands, it's over and now on to the Bowl Game and another Husker
win!

Go Big Red!
