[Husker] A fitting end

[David Elfering]

Yeah the loss to A&M hurts but this sets up a fitting end to the Big
8/12 -- a show down with  confident (and suddenly dangerous) Colorado.
We win and its off to what might be the last ever B12 championship
game. They win and suddenly they're in bowl contention.

This has been an ODD series with memories ranging from Jerry Gdowski's
valiant effort in the loss in 1989, to Bill McCartney's seemingly
venomous approach and who could forget Rick Neuheisals entry through
the stands with war drums.

How about Brook Berringer's coming of age at the 1994 game? I don't
think I was ever more proud than at that ESPN gameday post game.

This weeks game promises to be yet another interesting day and now the
story lines are almost viral. How is the team after Saturday's loss?
Will Perlman paint Coach Pellini Green and have him pick on Whoville?
(just kidding!) Will we get Martinez back? Heck I'm curious to see if
Niles Paul might have a final, great display for his home state crowd.

There's a lot on the line and somehow that's just the way it should be
in my opinion.
