Yes, Virginia and Virginia Tech
even Nebraska football could stand
a few improvements.
Before this is chalked up as anti
llusker rubbish, let it be known that I
rank Nebraska's football program at
the top of the nation's elite. But why sit
on the lead? The once-unique interest
and atmosphere in Lincoln sets it apart
from the rest.
Steve Thomas
Now Nebraska football gets a little
more commonplace each year. So before
the milk turns sour, let's add some
pizazz to the program.
Night Football
When I first listed some things that
might add new life to the program, the
list totaled four. Now, the list has been
reduced to three after the announce
ment that Nebraska and Florida State
will do bat t le under the stars instead of
the usual 1:30 ho-hum kickoff.
Night fool hall in Nebraska? The
announcement couldn't have been more
welcome. Think back to last fall's
encounter with the Seminoles. The
mercury peaked in the !)s, and too
many people missed a good game -having
been carried off on stretchers
because of heat exhaustion.
If the heat didn't get you, the drip
ping sweat and body odor of the shirt
less wonder at your side probably did.
Enough said. Football was not meant to
be played in blistering heat.
A New Rival
My next suggestion may never take
hold at least not for several years.
Here's the problem: Nebraska is with
out a non-conference rival, and it's not
. . . have to ran.

somcthinf? that can't bo corrected.
Sure we have a conference rival
Oklahoma but so does everyone else
in the country. It's the non-conference
wars that are a lit tie out of the ordinary.
Take Oklahoma and Texas. Both
teams are quick to name the other as
their l rival. Sony Nebraska. The
teams square off every year in Dallas, a
neutral site. Half of the seats tfo to the
Texans, and the bad guys get the other
half. The name is played during the
Texas State Fair, and appropriately so:
The atmosphere is alive; it's a big
carnival.
Somewhere to the north, Nebraska
thumps New Mexico State 5()-fl in the
third quarter.
Nebraska can have more than one
rival and the answer is simple; our
beloved neighbors to the East, the Iowa
Hawkeyes. Somet hing needs to be done.
Every year, the fans take pot shots at
the other team, their coach, and the
team's fans until the reader waves the
white flag. Settle it on the field.
Let's face it: The fixings for a great
rivalry are on the table, so let's put 'em
in the skillet. The teams are perennial
powers, the coaches are like night and
day and the fans would relish the
opportunity to have bragging rights in
the corn belt.
Today's Attendance. . .
It wasn't too long ago that Memorial
Stadium was a sight to behold. Few
schools could say their team played in
front of such a huge crowd. But things
change. Coke changed, so did the
Whopper, and so do sizes of football
stadiums.
The crowd size used to be unusually
large, but now, it's just not that big of a
deal. Tennessee, a school with a good,
not great, football tradition, plays in
front of 92,000 every Saturday. Ohio
State draws 88,000 and Michigan was
still counting at last check. Oklaho
ma's crowd rivals ours, and Missouri
can seat more than 70,000 a team
that finished with one win last year.
Why not be the big cheese we once
were? An additional 15,000 to 20,000
seats would add to the atmosphere.
Empty seats would be as rare as they
are today. When a place sells out 100
and some odd games in a row, it should
tell you something.
Natural Grass
It will never happen, but I'd love to
see that overrated green carpet replaced
by that other forgotten green stuff
grass. Sounds crazy, doesn't it? Foot
ball on grass? It used to be reality back
when Vince Lombardi paced the side
lines and Dick Butkus put the crunch
running backs.
A grass field would give Nebraska a
unique playing surface in the Big Eight
it would give the opponents a little
something extra to worry about on the
way to Lincoln.
The brand of football played by
Nebraska would seem to be suited for a
grass field. Nebraska is notorious for
turning out rugged, 285-pound linemen
with long last names. On rainy days, the
linemen would trudge off the field
wearing red and mud. I don't think they
would mind, and if nothing else, John
Madden would fall in love with the
team.
Night football, 94,000 fans, natural
grass and a rivalry with Iowa? Bob Dev
aney probably won't bat an eye; maybe
he shouldn't. The program isn't exactly
going through the great depression,
but in terms of excitement and atmos
phere, turn around slowly and take a
look. They're gaining.
