Shine the spotlight on those Huskers!

What a time to be a sports fan. History is set to take place as the Chicago Cubs are poised to take the 2008 playoff plunge as back to back division winners! (A rarity!)

And the Nebraska Cornhuskers are about to be thrust upon the nation once again first with Va Tech this Saturday, then with Mizzou the following week

Ah yes
Back in their rightful place amongst the elite. (well, once we've knocked off Va Tech and Mizzou of course) I don't think it out of the question or impossible. I think
we have a very good chance of winning both games. Is that so wrong to be confident? (I'm not saying a blowout or shut-out...that would be a little too cocky)
I'm just getting sick and tired of no one on national sports TV mentioning these Huskers as a serious threat to the Big 12 North.
I see the way this team plays. They have a heart and swagger that has seriously been absent from the previous coaching regime.
Pelini has a warm, open communication with AD Dr.Tom Osborne, which is a welcome refresher to the cold and distant relationship Callahan had.
I just read that Shawn Watson has been talking with Osborne about running the option?!? Well, certain parts of it anyway.

I know the Huskers will never be again like they were from 1970 - 2001.

All I ask is to see them back in the national spotlight.
To be proud to say I grew up in Nebraska and listened to the voices of Lyle Bremser, Adrian Fiala, Kent Pavelka and Gary Sadllemeyer
and Warren Swain

As always, Go Big Red There is no place like Nebraska!
