Classy Nebraska fans

Strangest thing I’ve ever seen in college football: Nebraska fans, en masse, standing and clapping for their football team as it trotted off the field at halftime, trailing 38-0 at halftime to an Oklahoma State team that one month ago was in Troy, Ala., falling behind 41-10.

OSU has a 357-101 total yards advantage, has scored every time it has the ball except when running out the clock to end the half and has not allowed the Huskers to do much of anything on offense. The Cowboys are blowing away the Cornhuskers, and even the classy Nebraska fans have to be sobered by what they see. In the last 11/2 games, Nebraska has been outscored 79-6. Look at it this way; Husker coach Bill Callahan has to win 32 of his next 33 games just to equal the record of FRANK SOLICH, the coach fired to make way for Callahan.

Meanwhile, the Cowboys are soaring, and while it’s never good to look back, take just a moment to lament the game that got away last Saturday at Texas A&M. OSU blew a 17-point lead and lost 24-23. Win that game, and the Cowboys take a one-game lead in the Big 12 South into a three-game home stand.
