SOUTH from Page 10
pete with my precocious knowl
edge of the roster for a while, Harry
gave up and just used me as a
talking roster.
To our left sat Jean, a small old
woman with beautiful white hair. I
think she was one of the main
reasons why my grandmother en
joyed going to the games for so
long. They were two of a kind. T he
bigger the rout, they more they
enjoyed the game. They didn’t like
the close games because they
didn’t like to get nervous, because
they couldn’t stand up fast enough
to catch the big plays and because
I had to relay these play-by-play to
them. Jean always brought me
candy at halftime.
Other than th 1 'only
can remember was
one couple who sat off to the right,
but the only thing I can recall about
them is that they worked for Char
lie Thone’s campaign against Bob
Kerrey, and they were very mad
during the game after that election.
We’d all pay for our silly voting,
they said.
Each year would go about the
same as far as these relationships
were concerned. Before kick-off of
the first game, you had to catch up
on births, deaths and marriages.
Lots of pictures were passed. Dur
ing the season, we all got the
weekly updates. After the last
home game, everybody promised
to keep in touch during the off
season this time, but it was usually
the first game of the next season
before anybody realized that they
had forgotten to do so.
But I was in school, I didn’t have
to worry about things like keeping
in touch, so at the end of each
season I just said “see you next
year,” and everyone always
thought that was a funny thing to
say.
Now if I go to the game I sit in
the student section, and my dad
usually uses the South Stadium
tickets these days. But I always try
to make it over to the “old neigh
borhood.” Last time I was there,
Romey’sson had brought hiseight
ot nine-year-old son, who, after J
bad plays screamed “Shiiiiiiiiiii
hit!” Jean apologized for not bring
ing me candy. I was cramped by
the overlapping seats in front of
me.
I was afraid to, but I knew I had
to do it, so I did. I turned around.
There was Romey, smiling a re
ally wicked smile at me, pouring
something out of his thermos.
“How’s it goin’ Curtis?” he
asked, handing me a cupofstraight
orange juice.
HUSKER BOB from Page 7
Football is not the only Ne
braska sport Husker Bob follows.
He makes sure to keep up on all of
the university’s sports teams.
"I don’t ha ve any favorite sports,
they’re all favorites to me. I’m just a
sportsman. I love sports,” he said.
‘‘I think Nebraska has a very good
program. Bob Devaney started it all
off.”
Husker Bob expresses a special
admiration for Nebraska coach
Tom Osborne.
“Tom Osborne, you can’t beat a
person like Tom Osborne,” he
said. “He’s a gentleman and a fine
coach."
And for fans who suggest
Osborne is a mediocre coach be
cause he can’t win “The Big One,"
Husker Bob has a special message.
“Oh, I just think that’s a bunch
of malarkey, dagrabbit,” he said.
“That’s just the way the ball
bounces. It’s just a thing that hap
pens. There’s no better coach than
Tom Osborne.”
Still, in spite of his spirited loy
alty to Nebraska, I lusker Bob finds |
a higher level of dedication to his j
country.
“When the band starts playing
the national anthem, it gives me J
one of the greatest feelings,” the
veteran of World War II said. “I just |
gotta stand still and think about a j
lot of my buddies when 1 was over |
there. It’s what we used to listen to i
every day, and I love to hear it
before a football game.
“It’s wonderful.”
