[Husker] It is Done

[king, tom]

A long-time colleague at PSU echoes that, Lynette.

Granted it was in the 80s, but i received two degrees from Nebraska and a Ph.D. from Illinois.  It was night and day; academically the Big 10 fully deserves its reputation.  From that standpoint alone, i am ecstatic about NU joining the Big 10.

Last year when Nebraska played Kansas i remember hearing that it was the 100th game between the two which made it the oldest, continuous college football rivalry in the country.  If true, i really hope they remain a non-conference game for us.
