Thanks for posting that. My husband is from York, and I'll print it for him.

Karma - we would welcome you back to Huskerland with open arms!!! My brother lives in Colorado and works in Boulder and wears his Nebraska shirts, etc. He does admit that he won't wear the shirts too close to the Colorado/Nebr games or he may be tarred and feathered. The news did report that when "He" announced his retirement that it is the only time in history that traffic came to a dead stop on O Streed.
