Despite team's problems, three
Nebraskans happy at K-State
By Steve Thomas
Staff Reporter
Editors note: This is the seventh
of an eight-part series dealing
with Nebraskans playing foot
ball at other colleges.
The Kansas State football program
has its share of problems. Losses to
Wichita State, Northern Iowa, Texas
Christian, North Texas State and Okla
homa coupled with the resignation of
Coach Jim Dickey top the list, but one
Nebraskan doesn't regret his decision
to become a Wildcat.
Rockey Dvorak of Chadron, is listed
as the Wildcats' second team offensive
tackle after starting in Kansas State's
first two games. Dvorak said a football
career at Nebraska was never really a
possibility.
"I wasn't offered a scholarship at
' Nebraska," Dvorak said. "They wanted
me to walk-on, but I felt like I needed
more time. I didn't even think about
playing college football until I was a
junior or senior in high school."
For Dvorak, more time meant play
ing junior college football at Garden
City, Kan., where he earned all-league
honors as a defensive tackle. Dvorak
said by-passing major college football
straight out of high school was a good
move.
"I got a lot of valuable experience
playing Qunior college), football,"
Dvorak said. "I played at a small school
in high school and going to a junior
college made it a smoother transition."
Decision time came again for Dvorak
after playing out his two years at
Garden City. Dvorak settled on Kansas
State after looking at Kansas, Iowa
State and Illinois. The switch from jun
ior college to major college wasn't the
only adjustment for Dvorak; the 6-5,
280-pound junior moved from defense
to offense at the tackle position.
Two factors influenced Dvorak in
making his decision to play his college
football in Manhattan for the Wildcats.
"The main reason was that I wanted
to play in the Big Eight Conference,"
Dvorak said. "Academics also had a lot
to do with my decision. I figure football
can only go on so long."
Although Dvorak Is a Nebraska native,
he said he hasn't given much thought
to the Nov. 2 contest with Nebraska In
Manhattan.
"I guess it hasn't really hit me yet,'
he said. "Maybe it will the week of the
game. Right now, I'm just trying to con
centrate on our next game."
Size is definitely one of Dvorak's
strong points, but he's quick to admit
his need for improvement in speed and
technique.
Dvorak is joined at Kansas State by
two other Nebraskans. Will McCain, a
freshman from Omaha South, is listed
as a defensive lineman for the Wild
cats. McCain, at 6-4, 240-pounds, was
an all-conference selection, the team
captain and the lifter of the year his
senior year of high school.
Brad Fulner, a 6-foot, 240-pound
sophomore from Omaha Westside also
is a defensive lineman for Kansas
State. Scoring fewer points than the
opposition is something new for Fulner,
who played on Westside's state cham
pionship team his senior year. Fulner
can bench press 400 pounds, so strength
is his top asset. Dvorak said McCain
and Fulner are young, and haven't seen
playing time as a result.
The three Nebraskans find them
selves on a Kansas State team that
consistently finds itself on the bottom
of the Big Eight totem pole. Former
coach Dickey, who was instrumental in
recruting Dorvak, stepped out after a
disappointing 10-6 loss to Northern Iowa.
Dvorak said he couldn't say whether
the coaching change would have a pos
itive or negative effect on the team.
"It's hard to evaluate right now,"
Dvorak said. "One week just isn't
enough time to make any judgments,"
he said.
Under the reign of new coach, Lee
Moon, the Wildcats have dropped games
to TCU, 24-22, to North Texas State,
22-10, and 41-6 to Oklahoma.
Closer to home, Buffaloes lure
Nebraskan to scenic neighbor
By Brian Keenan
Staff Reporter
Editor's note: This is the eighth
of an eight-part series.
Although NU dominates in the
recruiting of top notch Nebraska pros
pects, they do not have a total monopoly.
Some very good athletes go to other
schools for various reasons. Currently,
two Nebraskans are on the roster of the
University of Colorado Buffaloes.
Dean Davis, an offensive guard from
Scottsbluff is on the Buffalo roster. A
former all-state lineman for Scottsbluff
High, Davis is a redshirt freshman.
"When I was young, I wanted to
cojne to Nebraska just like every kid in
the state," Davis said. "However, I
weighed everything before I made my
decision to go to Colorado."
Davis was recruited in a year in
which Nebraska had a limited number
of scholarships and only four were left
for in-state recruits. Originally, Davis
was asked to walk-on at Nebraska, but
because other recruits signed with
other schools, he was offered a Corn
husker scholarship.
"I was recruited pretty heavily by
Nebraska," Davis said. "Thee was a
combination of many things which led
me to make my decision to go to
Colorado."
Among the many factors Davis said
he considered, was the coaching staff
and their attitude toward him, the
nearness to his home, the chance to
play earlier in his career and the
scenery.
"I thoroughly went over everything
that was a factor before I made my
decision," Davis said. "That's the rea-.
son none of my friends razz me at all
because they knew all the thought that
went into my decision."
At the beginning of the year, the
Colorado press guide said that Davis
leads the list of Colorado's "USDA"
offensive line candidates. Currently
Davis is working with the second team,
although, he said, he is very close in
ability to the starter. He said he has a
good chance to start next year.
"I'm really happy with my deciison
to go to Colorado, he said. "I like the
school and the people. I also love the
new offense that we put in. It (the new
offense) makes it a lot easier on the
offensive lineman because the block
ing assignments are easy for me."
Ken Lightner is a defensive tackle
from Hastings. Lightner, a senior and
the brother of Husker tackle Kevin
Lightner, was an all-state lineman for
Adams Central High School for two
years. A part-time starter last year,
Lightner is currently ineligible to play
according to his mother.
I Like humor with your hot dog?

HOT DOG from Page 9
for those who bought my dogs. I also got
part of a section to cheer the only man
who gave me a tip a quarter.
I sold my third case of dogs in about
45 minutes to a hungry and neglected
section in the upper deck on the east
side. "Each hot dog comes with its very
own bun," I claimed.
I broke all of my previous sales
records with my last case of dogs. I
must have found the perfect spot,
because no sooner had I mounted my
hot dog box than I was engulfed by a
flood of hungry Husker fans. I sold 50
hot dogs in little more than 15 minutes.
My day was done.
