:huskerflag: If it hasn't been mentioned yet, the november 28th issue of Sports Illustrated has a great feature article in it titled "Sport in America". The article introduces a new HBO series by the same name: "Sport in America - Has an event in sports ever changed your life?"
For the article, the writer asks all of the sportswriters he's known at the magazine to tell him their stories. He opens with a story by Lars Anderson, senior writer at SI, who tells him of attending the now famous Nebraska-Florida State game in 1980 with his father in lincoln. This, of course, was the 14-18 loss where Bowdens team was cheered after the game. It's great reading this writers take on that special event, and how it stuck with him 30 years later.
The article closes with Lars running into Bowden last year and the old coach saying "the classiest thing I ever experienced."
This is the kind of stuff that I think sets Nebraska apart from any other college team. This is something every potential recruit, and every recruits family should have a copy of. GO B1G RED
