Where the
Action Is
Huskers Picked To Win
In Opener Against TCU
By Larry Eckholt
"Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow", and in
definitely, until the last post, season bowl game of the
season, sports talk around the country will center around
college football.
And tomorrow Nebraska will meet Texas Christian
In what has been the most publicized and most antici
pated season opener for the Huskers since 1!)G0 when Ne
braska defeated Texas 14-13 io start a dismal 4-6 season
under Bill Jennings.
Bob Devaney has rebuilt, in the short span of five
vears, the Cornhusker tradition that for 77 years has
brought pride to the citizens of the state, alumni of the
University, and Nebraskans living around the country.
Winning (and the national publicity that comes with it)
has made Nebraskans take a special pride in their state
when so many things are being said to discredit it.
By working, closely with the Athletic Department as
I have, one can see how wildly enthusiastic this nation
is when it comes to sports.
The Sports Information Office received and answered
over a thousand letters this summer concerning Nebras
ka athletics and football in particular.
Letters from every state and a few from soldiers sta
tioned in Viet Nam requested pictures, rosters, autographs
and almost every kind of information possible. Our office
made a point to answer each request personally.
Some of the letters were strictly in business form;
some were very humorous. Each had the same message:
"I want to know about the Huskers."
A letter from a man from Minnesota attached a P.S.
an NIE (Nebraskan-in-Exile) I appreciate very much the
fact that NU Is winning again. It makes being away from
home a little bearable. NU SMASHING Arkansas in the
Cotton Bowl on New Years Day? HOPE SO!!!"
So, with the 1966 season only a few hours away, where
does that leave us, the future alumni of NU? Well, Sports
Illustrated, college football's "Bible," has already offered
a challenge to Nebraska partisans in its Sept. 19 issue
on College Football.
Preceeding Si's story on Nebraska is a capsule biog
raphy of one of the all-time greats in football's history
Red Grange. It recalls Illinois' 24-7 rout of Nebraska in
1923 when Grange scored three touchdowns against the
Huskers.
The last paragraph of the story reads "There will be
running and singing at Illinois this year, but not any
where near as much of either as is likely to be seen or
heard at Nebraska, which is not at all ashumble as it
was when it started Red Grange galloping toward his
spectacular career."
Sports Illustrated has many good things to say about
Nebraska. So have most of the other pre-season polls and
prediction sheets. Nebraska is a recognized powerhouse
and we can all help make it more noticeable than ever
before.
College football has fabulous phychological benefits.
What better way is there to publicly display all of the
emotions that have been building since school started?
Where else can you go to scream, holler, jump up and
down, wave your arms, clap your hands, and boo, with
out being looked at as some kind of fool?
There's probably only one other place and that's dur
ing basketball season, still about three months away.
So . . .
Tomorrow when you go to Memorial Stadium and
take your place with the other 63,000 remember you have
to sit quietly and almost apathetically through most of
the week in a stuffy classroom.
Tomorrow, when you're sitting in the crisp Septem
ber air that is distinctly Nebraskan, become an audible
part of that Big Red tradition: Nebraska Football.

Football fever is be
ginning to run at a high
pitch on the Cornhusker
campus in anticipation of
Saturday's season o p e n er
against the Horned Frogs
of Texas Christian Univer
sity. The site will be Nebras
ka's recently enlarged Me
morial Stadium, the time,
2:00 p.m.
For new students at Ne
braska, the pagentry
provided by Nebraska's
175-man marching band,
"Sunshine Girl" Susy Kunc,
and an expected crowd of
63,500 (many of them be
decked in red), not to men
tion Coach Bob Devaney's
winning team, should prove
to be an exciting experience.
Saturday's battle will pit
two highly ranked teams.
Nebraska is rated number
three in the nation and is
predicted to win the game
by as many as two touch
downs. Texas Christian is picked
for its highest Soutwest Con
ference finish since 1960
when they were pegged for
second place. In nationwide
prediction polls this year
the Horned Frogs have con
sistently been ranked
among the top 20 teams.
Nebraska has been
hampered by injuries this
year, but the physicians
have done a good job and
.mi.mil. ill! nilli . iil.y mm i.miini.mn urn I i.u.unn i.igmi m. i .ui.ui.. mil . m
the Huskers should be at
near full strength against
TCU.
Coach Devaney talks cau
tiously about Nebraska and
the first game saying, "we
can't really tell before the
first game. We feel this
year we have had more in
juries to key people, and
this has slowed us down.
"On the positive side, we
feel we have a good group
of backs and good defensive
balance. On the negative
side, we feci we are shy
depth at center and lack
overall speed," he said.
So that's how it looks
going into the first game of
the season Don't let Coach
Devaney 's unoptomistic
words worry you. Anyway
not yet.
