GO BIG RED!
I can't tell you how tickled I was to hear from Michael Scott, telling me all about The South Florida Huskers Alumni Chapter and the big event there on 9/5. I also can't tell you how great it was to be working at Memorial Stadium again on the NU-Florida Atlantic pay-per-view telecast. I have missed being part of the radio broadcasts so much! Still do. But, the TV sideline assignment was great fun. And, I'm looking forward to my fourth season back calling Husker Hoops this winter on the radio.
The highlight of my broadcast career occured in Miami when the Huskers beat Miami back in January, 1995 to win the National Championship. Calling that game was, simply, the best! So, I now think of Miami even more fondly, knowing your group is together. Such a special bond we share.
Thanks for the heads-up, Michael. I'll check in here often.

The wife and I really had a blast last night!! Just when we were starting to feel disconnected from our friends and family back in Nebraska, you guys came along. We've been on the phone all day, telling everyone about the South Florida Huskers. And BTW, was that a great game or what??!! Below is part of the letter I sent to Kent Pavelka.
Thanks again, Michael Scott
"As I sat with 100-plus South Florida Husker fans I screamed out when I saw your face on camera. (everyone thought it was cool that Kent Pavelka emailed me) Anyway, man you looked great!! Couldn't hear you at all....what a fantastic game!!
You can't believe how large and organized this relatively new chapter is. And keep in mind I was a member of the Dallas chapter. I'm sending you a link ...www.southfloridahuskers.com....check them out. I am in one of those pictures....you can't miss me. (I even got a couple of "hey, didn't you use to work with Carol Schrader" shouts)
If you ever come down for a Bowl game remember these people, they'll make you their god.!!"
See you soon,
