[Husker] Fw: Fw: Win as a team ...

[George Rapp]

Wow. I left to coach my son's basketball practice and apparently missed an
... interesting, uh, discussion.  While I'm disappointed in the team I've
followed for 40 years (my earliest memories are 'Husker-related from the
1971 season), it is vital to remember that it's just a game that we're
talking about.

Krobb, thanks for your service.

George
