Reception

Nebraska Democratic Sen. Bob
Kerrey said Osborne was introduced
improperly during a White House
ceremony with President Clinton ear
lier Monday. The president’s name
was announced before the coach’s.
“In Nebraska, it would be Coach
Tom Osborne and the President of
the United States,” Kerrey said.
This year’s Orange Bowl meant a
great deal to every Nebraskan, Kerrey
said, wearing a Nebraska hat.
“I have never been moved so much
by an athletic event as this January,”
he said. “We will never be able to
repay Coach Tom Osborne and the
entire team.”
Nebraska native Patricia Fosbrook,
who took the day off work in Mary
land, came to get a glimpse of the
Huskers for herself.

“I’ve been a fan for all my life,”
Fosbrook said. “This is the first sea
son I’ve been away for a long time,
and it killed me.”
Fosbrook, who moved to the East
Coast about seven months ago, is
originally from near Papillion.
She took pictures of players and
had team members autograph a foot
ball. The first, and biggest, signature
on the ball was from her favorite
Husker — Tom Osborne.
“He’s a wonderful man,” Fosbrook
said. “I have the utmost respect and
regard for him.”
Rep. Doug Bereuter said he would
like the team to get used to coming to
Washington.
“We have so much pride in our

said. “We’d like to make this an
annual affair.”
After the hourlong reception, the
team toured Capitol Hill before re
turning to Lincoln Monday night.
three hours from Philadelphia to
Washington, hoping to get a glimpse
of Osborne and the team. After wait
ing another two hours, their trip
proved worthwhile as the team
emerged from the White House
grounds.
The Gevos, who were students at
the University of Nebraska when the
Huskers won their 1971 national
championship, grew up near Ashland.
The family has maintained Husker
ties during their seven years in Phila
delphia.
‘To see the guys who brought it
back to Nebraska — it’s incredible,”
Tony Gevo said after Osborne
autographed a football for him. “It’s
really neat to be from Nebraska.”
