[Husker] Turnovers

[Greg Zimmerman]

While I believe all of us would be delighted if we returned to college
football's elite, not many of us expect that to happen immediately.

What I want is for the Huskers to be competing for the division and Big X
title, play smart football, and not get blown out on national TV.

Dick, Skylar...

My post was a bit sarcastic and a bit true.  It was designed to open a 
few eyes to reality while shedding some light on the the nature of 
college football and the Big 10 conference as we know it.

I was around in 1970 and 1971...allbeit as a 10 and 11 year old. I was 
really around in the nineties when no one could touch us... College 
football has changed and there are fewer elite teams....

It may be a while until we are among them.
