Husker fans Jubilant Following NU Win NORMAN, Okla. (UPI)-It was, as Buford ("that's my real name") Calhoun of Omaha, Neb., put it, "worth not going to Australia for." Mr. Calhoun, with his red Nebraska cap titled at a jaunty angle, had a business deal going in Australia and had about decided to go out there and live for two years "when these friends of ours gave us season tickets." So, what else, "y e didn't go." That, football fans, is a football fan. And Nebraska had scores of elated ones Thursday, none more so perhaps than the ebullient Mr. Calhoun of Omaha. . "Who's next," he asked with mock pugnaciousness, "Alabama? The Orang Bowl? Bring them on! We are number one!"

"Naw, don't use my name." Phyllis Burghardt of Clay Center, Neb. ("it's two words.") was just plain numb. "I wouldn't want to do it again," she said. "It was so undecided and scary."

"Next year."
