Nebraska and their birdish neighbors to the northwest have always enjoyed a somewhat tolerant rivalry, but the Big Red faithful (as well as the Jays and Jayskers had the roles been reversed) would be lying if they claimed not to get a little extra evil thrill out of the 9-0 Mercy Rule thrashing which the Huskers strapped on their blue butts today.
After struggling with weaker programs for the previous week or so, the Huskers saved a breakout performance for Creighton, in which the pitching was tight, the bats cooked and Billie Andrews moved another step closer to the top of the Husker home run ladder.
