During his weekly media luncheon
the week after the South Carolina foot
ball game, Nebraska coach Tom Osborne
expressed his desire for a new indoor
practice facility for the football team.
The new facility would likely be con
structed on the existing grass practice
field just north of Ed Weir track. The
project would cost several million dol
lars a price tag that would offend
most people who know anything about
UNL's present financial situation.
Granted, the athletic department's
budget is separate from the rest of the

On the other hand, though, Nebras
ka's recent lack of success in post
season bowl games can be attributed,
in part, to the weather the Comhuskers
were forced to practice in before the
games. A good example is the sub-zero
conditions Nebraska faced in December
1983, while preparing for the 1984
Orange Bowl national championship
shootout with Miami. While the Hurri
canes practiced hard for three weeks in
the hot sun prior to the game, the
Huskers were shovelling snow at South
Stadium.
"A lot of people are still talking
about that Miami game three years
ago," Osborne said at the luncheon. He
also said that an indoor facility would

the game a great deal.

Entrepreneur Dave Dixon, one of the
masterminds behind that professional

Now Dixon is trying to create a new

drafted into its respective teams. How

what these players will do with their
lives when their careers are over at the
age of 25. Go to college and learn a
