BOULDER – Bill “Woody” Woodson could only shake his head at the thought of it.
Sell your tickets to some Nebraska Cornhuskers? Oh, he wouldn’t dream of it. Not after more than three decades as a season ticket holder.
Not for an Arvada native who describes Colorado’s 62-36 victory in 2001 over the Huskers as “the best day of my life,” outside of his son being born, of course.
“I’d burn them before I sold them,” the 66-year-old retired pipe fitter said.
Alas, there were many, many others who couldn’t pass up a buck. With what Husker fans were paying for them — $200 was considered a bargain on Colorado Avenue before the Nebraska-Colorado game — sometimes you’ve just got to gouge a Bugeater.
