[Husker] Do we have an obligation here? (was Hello?)

[Drew]

Didn't mean to offend anyone and I certainly wasn't calling you out, Greg.
Sorry if it sounded like that.

Just commenting on the sentiment I've picked up on this list and elsewhere
that one is not a 'true fan' if you don't enthusiastically embrace
everything your alma mater does.

Maybe I *am* on my own on this - doesn't bother me. Was only curious.

Happy to go back to my football hibernation, soothed by whispers of
recruiting news & rumours with a quick break for the Spring game until next
fall :-)

-Drew,  Go Big Red!!
