I The Scene: Less than 10 minutes
were left in the Nebraska-Oklahoma
football game last fall. The game was to
decide the Big Eight champion and a
spot in the Orange Bowl. The Huskers
were trailing but driving. From my 40
yard line seat I watched Doug DuBose
break a long run off of a screen pass to
put the Huskers in business deep in OU
territory.

But above the din of the crowd I
could hear a lone voice from a nearby
block of students. The question,
addressed to no one in particular, was a
simple one. "Who is it that we're play
ing anyway?," the semi-inebriated voice'
said with a giggle as Jeff Smith failed to
get the go-ahead touchdown on fourth
down.
That question and millions of other
similarly stupid ones have been heard
rising from student sections at Nebraska
games. Granted, the questions don't
hurt anyone but they do lead to another
question. Wouldn't someone else enjoy
those seats a little bit more?
It's just a darn shame to see seats go

to people with no interest whatsoever
in the game. Oh sure, they like the
wave, and the drinks and the food,
especially the food. But they don't have
a single clue as to what is going on
down there on the field.
Those guys are working hard down
there and they get questions like "Who
are we playing?" They're going to start
feeling unappreciated after awhile.
Maybe those 10-1's and 9-2's will turn
into 1-10's and 2-9's.
So what is all this leading to? Sim
ple, a test.
This is a test that can be taken by
anyone but is specifically meant for
those who sit in the 50-yard-line seats
with hardly a clue or a concern as to
what's transpiring on the field.
Take this simple test in the privacy
of your own sorority, fraternity, dorm
room or whatever. If you get seven out
of 10 right then you should be allowed
to have your seat this fall. Less than
seven right should cause you to sell
your ticket without making a killing.
Well, ready, here goes. (And remember,
don't peek at the answers, cheaters
never prosper.)
1. Who is Nebraska's football coach?
2. Nebraska plays in the Eight
Conference. Fill in the blank.
3. Name any Nebraska player ever.
4. Mad Mike is a) the next character
to be played by Mel Gibson, b) a mass
murderer who killed hundreds with a
single pair of tweezers, c) the obnox
ious guy at the football games who tries
to get people to cheer, d) all of the
above.
5. Mike Rozier and Johnny Rodgers
are the only two Nebraska players to
win the Heisman a) Trophy, b)
blender, c) helmet, d) watch.
6. Name Nebraska's football captain
in 1913?
7. How many career rushes did Rex
Fischer have?
8. What was Nebraska's exact
attendance average in 1956?
9. Name the five coaches who pre
ceded Bob Devaney?
10. What college did Bob Devaney
attend?
How'd you do? Hope it wasn't too
tough. How'd you like those last five
questions? Weren't they dandy? How
many did you get right? I'll bet there
will be some cheap tickets to be had for
football games this fall.
Answers:
1. Tom Osborne
2. Big
3. Any name will do, try Smith
4. c
5. a
6. Leonard Purdy

NFC Central preview
includes ugliness, senility
Analysis by Kevin Warneke
Staff Reporter
Let's hear it for the Bears, for they at
least make the NFC Central Confer
ence tolerable.
For years, the NFC Central has been
the yawn conference of professional
football. The Green Bay Packers have
no offense, the Detroit Lions have no
healthy players, the Tampa Bay Bucca
neers have nothing at all and the Min
nesota Vikings have ugly uniforms.
NFC Central
Preview
Football is back in Chicago, although
some may argue that it never left.
The Bears have it all: speed, strength,
agility and "Sweetness."
Walter Payton returns as one of the
NFL's best running backs. After all,
he's only rushed for 13,309 yards in his
career. For those who thought Payton
may be slowing down, the 10-year vete
ran rushed for 1,684 years last season.
And the Bears have The Refrigerator.
Sure William Perry is a big boy. He's
fat.
Fine, I say. But he's good. And he's
going to get better. Team him up with
linebacker Mike Singletary and the
Bears have one tough defense.
The only thing holding the Bears
back may be the status of quarterback
Jim McMahon. If he can stay healthy,
San Francisco watch out.
After the Bears, it's almost like
drawing them out of the hat to see who
will finish second. Not that anyone
would care.
The Packers should finish second,
even without the use of the hat.
If the Lynn Dickey-toJames Lofton
aerial show is in sync, the Packers
could be tough. Throw in a little
defense and who knows how far they
could go?
The Detroit Lions appear to be with
out their leader again. Once again, Billy
Sims is injured.
Too often, as Sims goes so go the
Lions, This year it could be down the
tubes.
The big question: Why would the
Lions want an archaic quarterback in
Joe Ferguson? The man is old.
The Buccaneers have James Wilder
at running back and Steve DeBerg at
quarterback. That's all and that's not
enough.
Now for the once-mighty Vikings.
The Vikings even have ugly players.
Add lousy to that and the Vikings need
no more words.
But I'll keep going. I don't care that
Bud Grant is back. The man is old,
senile and out-of-touch with reality.
After all, who in their right mind would
want to return to Minnesota?
Then there's Tommy Kramer. Fran
Tarkenton he's not.
Enough said.
