Eric the Red
Team HuskerBoard
A Bumper Crop of Fans
The game matters so much because the Cornhuskers are impatient to recapture the prominence they once enjoyed. Fans say a victory Saturday, or even a close score, would announce Nebraska's return to the national elite.
"People think it's a good measuring stick," said Lane Grindle, a nightly host on the school's official radio network. "This has been a game that every fan has circled since it was announced."
[SIZE=14pt]For weeks, the faithful have posted daily comments and predictions on websites such as bighuskerfan.com and huskerboard.com. [/SIZE]They have discussed "Ten Reasons to Dislike USC" ("1. Two letters — O.J.") and "Ten Reasons to Like USC" ("1-10. The cheerleaders").
[SIZE=14pt]One fan created a photo illustration of red clouds enveloping the Coliseum [/SIZE]and another offered a poem that read, in part:
After the Huskers had performed a perfect plan,
A small grin grew large on Coach Callahan.
More points than the Trojans, the Huskers had scored.
At the end of the day — Order Restored.
