Okay, the Georgia Southern Eagles aren’t coming to Lincoln specifically because of Erk Russell. For one thing he died in 2006 and I don’t care how many miracles and other unbelievable shit he pulled off, I’m pretty sure Erk hasn’t figured out how to get in on helping negotiate a mid-major payday game from the grave. It’s more of a several degrees of separation thing, but trust me on this.
The program is where it is because Erk Russell started it off in a way which still boggles the mind.
If Vince Dooley leaves Georgia for the HC job at his alma mater of Auburn after their 1980 national title, Georgia Southern likely isn’t playing the Huskers this weekend.
