.....Which team first had Huskers play in the Super Bowl, and who were the two?

(HINT...I grew to hate one of them!!!:)

In an aside...Wichita State had a player in the Super Bowl before the Huskers

Well Warren Powers is one for sure. I’m guessing on McGloughlin not sure of the spelling though. Mic was a year or so later.

it is a nice campus. the neighborhood around it could use some additional gentrification, but overall it has a nice charm.
not crazy about the golf course being razed, but i get it. had some good times out there.
also had a couple 'slices' make their way across 21st and Oliver.

Oh, my goodness!!!! One of my favorite golf stories EVER!!!! I'm playing that course during the heyday of WSU baseball, and they are playing a regional , and OSU is playing UCLA...my friend and I are putting on the par 3 that ran along the south side of the stadium...a player hits a foul out of the park , it hits the pavement, gains steam, rolls up onto the green at my feet...they actually sent a kid out to retieve the ball! I said "no way!!! This one is mine!!"...he shrugged, said "ok", and walked off....so lucky the ball didn't crash a window or land in a tree....:)

oh yeah, you keep those. they woulda kept your ball if you woulda popped it over the right field seats...
my funniest story was a friend of mine and i parking about a half a dozen balls over 21st St - no windows were harmed in the making of that tragedy.
best story was playing in a fraternity jackrabbit tournament there in the early 90's. i got placed on a team with 1 scratch golfer, 1 <10 handicap player (a building on campus bares the name of one of his family members - and is a pompous ***), and 2 hackers. me included. thruout the day, the jackass would just flay me for every one of my bad shots - and not a word for any good shot. and i had a few that we used - the scratch golfer was fun to watch. we ended up tieing up the game and went to sudden death. on the 2nd playoff hole i was taking the last approach shot to the green - none of my team members had put it on. i just took a big swig of beer, put in a fresh dip, hopped out of the cart, tossed my ball down, pulled out the 9 iron and just swung away. no practice - just ripped it. it dropped and stopped dead less than 2 feet from the pin...needless to say we won. it was a nice feeling.
