And what is this gay picture suppose to illustrate? Looks like the kid is tired of listening to you drivel on about something that won't happen again in your lifetime. that was pretty good, see ya in Lincoln in 08!

I know you guys all aren't like that, I would expect NU fans to be discouraging others from doing the wave during injury timeouts out of respect for the game.

Thanks FTH. I think an apology from the student paper is owed at least! Otherwise I have no problem with Husker Fans, they pay the $65-70 ticket prices to fill our stadiums

I know, I'm gonna be watching that Navy/Notre Dame game. By the time we get back up to Lincoln it will have been 40 years since we've won there...has to be some kind of bad streak for a major conference or playing a continious opponent We really should have gone for two at the end and tried to win, I hate OT.

Cartoon sparks discussion, conflict Mark Mangino, fans mocked in comic Nebraska's school newspaper, The Daily Nebraskan, ran an editorial cartoon Monday about Saturday's football game. It can be construed as offensive, and classless. By CJ Moore Wednesday, October 4, 2006 After an Omaha television station ran a news story about an editorial cartoon that appeared in Monday’s Daily Nebraskan, the Nebraska school newspaper, the paper received an abundance of letters to the editor and comments on its Web site. The cartoon angered fans of both Nebraska and Kansas. Jenna Johnson, the editor of the Daily Nebraskan, said the paper was running eight to 10 letters to the editor in today’s newspaper. But before people jump to a quick judgment of the cartoon, Johnson said it’s important that they understand the context. Johnson said that the cartoon was meant to be critical of both Kansas and Nebraska fans. She said that a number of Kansas fans showed up to the game in “our coach can eat your coach” T-shirts. During the game when Eric Washington was injured in the third quarter, Nebraska fans started to do the wave around the stadium. “I think people who misunderstand it are people who weren’t at the game or do not know the context of the cartoon,” Johnson said. Some fans, like Morgan Henzlik, Atlanta junior, have interpreted the cartoon as making fun of KU coach Mark Mangino’s weight rather than as a criticism of the fan bases. “It seems like a cheap shot – an easy thing to go after,” Henzlik said. “OK, our coach is fat, that’s not the first time we’ve heard that.” Before publication, Johnson said the Nebraskan editors made sure that Washington was not going to be severely injured. Johnson said if Washington had been paralyzed, the cartoon would not have run. Once they found out Washington was going to be OK, the editors decided to run the cartoon. “This is an editorial cartoon that our editorial cartoonist did just like an opinion column,” Johnson said. “This is his opinion, his view on the football game.” Kansan staff writer C.J.
