[Husker] Osborne to retire as of January 1, 2013.

[Roger Lohr]

The Coliseum was the loudest place I have been.  It was a Kansas game when the 
Huskers beat Wilt the Stilt and the #1 KU Jayhawks!

I think the loudest venue I've ever been in was the Coliseum for a
men's basketball game (against Kansas, I think).  NU had some pretty
good teams under Cip.

As far as the future of the Coliseum, I'd guess it will remain primarily
a Campus Rec facility and so not a major piece of the Athletic Department's
plans.

I'm not sure what the Arena and Devaney changes mean for Gymnastics.
Does anyone know where Gymnastics will be in the future?  What about
wrestling (which was in the Coliseum)?
