[NU Sports] entertaining

[Beamsley, Jeff]

I was growing up in Omaha around the time the red people emerged like  
weekend cicadas.   As a prep school kid counting the days until I  
could escape to the big city (any big city) I thought it fairly  
pathetic and obsessive.

Now when I head to a football game, I pull out my box of purple stuff  
and make sure everyone in our party is properly atired.

Hooray football!!
