[Husker] 'Oracle of Omaha' Warren Buffett is a Cornhusker at heart

[Killmar, John]

Warren Buffet is on the cover page of USA Today.  The piece is basically small bio of 80 year old Buffett and his love for the Huskers.  He snuck in to his first Nebraska football game when he was 8.  I'll steal a short story from the piece about Devaney.

"When Devaney first came in 1962," Buffett recalls, "he was giving a talk to a Rotary Club, and he said, 'We're working hard, but we have a problem at fullback. We're looking for a guy that's 6-4 and weighs 125 pounds. I know that kinda sounds strange for a fullback, but that's the only kind of guy that can get through the holes the line opens up.' "

He has a tape of Osborne's half-time talk at the 1995 Orange Bowl against Miami that brings back great memories.
