[Husker] Nebraska's Mt. Rushmore of Football

[Ken Oliver]

As a talking head, I will take Trev any time over the other bozos on ESPN -- Holtz (doddering cheater), Mark May (smirk, smirk), Fowler (he used to be ok), Corso (where's my hat), and Herbstreit (of THE Ohio St. University).  In fairness, Herbstreit has been much more even handed since his anti-Nebraska meltdown and after Bo was named coach.  </end of rant>
