[Husker] Nebraska and Minnesota

[Killmar, John]

The first meeting of Minnesota and Nebraska was on Thursday, November 29, 1900.  The Cornhuskers (this was the first year the team would bear that name) lost 12-20.  The Iowa and Missouri games go back 7-8 years earlier than this.

Minnesota is a long-time rival. NU has played the gophers more (51 games) than
anyone other than the old Big Seven schools, and Minnesota has the edge in the
series (29-20-2). I'm thinking TO wants NU to get even in his lifetime.
