Amazing if True Husker/B1G Trivia: Notes no less an authority than Wikipedia: "Corporal punishment for Northwestern University undergraduates was introduced in 1922 ... for a range of offenses in public, including swearing, smoking (if aged under 21), rollerskating in the downtown district, or being rowdy in an ice cream parlor." Ever since, in keeping with that rule, the Wildcat football team has regularly gotten spanked. It holds the all-time record for Division 1-A losses, was on the losing end of the greatest comeback in Division 1-A history and holds the record for the longest losing streak in Division 1-A. Its last bowl game win was in 1949. They're not that awful these days, of course. Still, Huskers, grind these guys into the dirt or, so help us, we'll rip those Blackshirts off your back. Oh, and Husker faithful, if you run into any Wildcat fans acting up at Ivanna Cone today, go ahead and smack 'em one. The law can't touch you. GBR! Beat NU!
