We really need to start seeing crowds of 3,000+ during the week to keep this rise in attendance going.  The last few week night games have seen as few as 1,800 or so.

An NU sidenote... the women will likely break into the top 25 this week with a 10th straight road win at Missouri.  This team is on fire!  They go to highly ranked Texas A&M next.

A 20 point win over lowly CU, who just came off of a win over lowly ISU.  I think Nebraska can probably finish at least in the middle of the Big 12 pack.
