The Kansas Nebraska Act (2006 Edition)
The Wichita Eagle looks at the way things were one year ago.
Fans delirious with a rare victory over Nebraska were pouring out of the stands at Kansas, goal posts were being torn down. Even the scoreboard seemed to be taunting the Huskers. Were the lights always that bright? Or did it just seem that way because of the final score: KU 40, Nebraska 15?
“I thought the world was coming to an end,” recalled Husker cornerback Zackary Bowman. “That was the longest bus ride back home.”
That was a year ago. The world didn’t end, but the Huskers’ 36-game winning streak over KU did.
I’m confident a new winning streak over the Jayhawks will be established this evening.
