Large Number Of Husker Fans Expected In Ireland

Ireland's consistently mild, moist climate results in grass that grows 11 months out of the year. Some call it Forty Shades Of Green. In fact, that's what Johnny Cash named one of his songs after visiting the country.

"Green, we've got a lot of it," Padriac O'Kane said, "even though you guys will try to turn it red when you get over there.

"But we can cope with that."

O'Kane, representing Irish American Events, was referencing Nebraska fans who will likely cross the ocean in droves for the 2021 Aer Lingus Football Classic between Nebraska and Illinois.
