[Husker] Some Raiders players still hate BC

[David Elfering]

Sort of interesting, maybe more from the standpoint of little insights
into the sad life that underpins a lot of NFL "life style". The amount of
money in play makes for a lot of delusion I think - both for those in the
sport and the fans.

I used to follow pro football just as closely as college but the desire
has left me. 

It will be interesting to see how the evolution of college ball goes with
the advent of mega contracts and 24/7 "in depth" coverage such as the
Longhorn network. Life in the fishbowl isn't fit for most I would bet.
