They absolutely can't wait for Sept. 18 in Norman, Oklahoma.
About a dozen former Nebraska players gathered Tuesday morning in the Haymarket district to help present former Husker head coach Tom Osborne with a career achievement award. It was a pleasant scene. In small talk before the presentation, a few of the former players remarked to me how much they looked forward to celebrating a renewal of the Nebraska-Oklahoma football series come September.
Parties already are planned for the night before the game. Old rivals who became friends who will catch up and reminisce. Fans will do the same.
