1994 National Champions Honored

1994 Huskers

It's Homecoming in Lincoln and in addition to the King and Queen being named at halftime and the beautiful displays by the Greek Fraternities and Sororities on campus, the 1994 National Championship team is in town to celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Nebraska's third team national championship. More than 90 members of the '94 team will return to Lincoln for a private dinner on Friday and to be recognized on the field on Saturday. Included in the list of returnees are All-Americans Tommie Frazier, Aaron Graham, Brenden Stai, Ed Stewart, Aaron Taylor and Jared Tomich. The list of dignitaries also includes baseball All-American and current Anaheim Angel Darin Erstad and former coaches Tom Osborne, Charlie McBride, Milt Tenopir and Dan Young.. Several players were unable to come because of professional football obligations including Chris Dishman, Jay Foreman, Barron Miles, Mike Minter, Mike Rucker, Cory Schlesinger, Adam Treu and All-Americans Zach Wiegert and Grant Wistrom. Fans are asked to get to their seats early so they do not miss a very special tribute to the 1994 National Championship Team.

It is my hope that today’s husker players can feed of the tradition and energy of past champions and get a huge win over Missouri today. A win today would bring closer the number of victories needed to secure a bowl bid. With not many streaks still alive, it would be awesome to keep that NCAA bowl appearance record going! My plan today is to try and relax and enjoy the weekend. Spend time with friends I have not seen in a while, and enjoy some football. With only hours remaining until election time, my nervousness grows more intense. I need to remember that the Lord has his hands on the process and his will and plan will prevail.

I will wait till later to respond to that Bin Laden video that has got my blood boiling. There is plenty to Chew On with that subject. But for now I shall embark on a glorious Saturday morning, filled with pigskins, crisp fall air, crunchy leaves, and prayers for God’s protective watch over our nation.
