[Husker] Setting the table

[David Strong]

Laura...I'm with you on that.  The extra practice is certainly important, it might make the team better next year.  But the point I was reply to was that next year begins on Dec. 30th.  That how well we do in that bowl game is very important to next years team.  I just don't think the game is particularly important to next years team at all.
