You could hear/feel the jubilation/relief of that sixth win as the clock wound down for the final five minutes. The sense of overwhelming weight finally being lifted off the darkness that surrounded the Nebraska football program. I was smiling so hard at something so trivial as making a bowl game it hurt, but the pain was worth it because it had been so damn long.
Then reality set in, there is still plenty of football to be played. There is Friday night, where a tough-running Iowa will be waiting at what will be a rough, nighttime environment at Kinnick.
