  The Huskers 7th loss today breaks the streak of 40 years with a winning season, that dated back to 1962. The only thing left to hang on to is that they still have a streak of 41 years without a losing season, which is the longest current active streak.

• McGee's Bar & Grill is the Official Husker Headquarters in the Chicago area. Televised games are shown, and the whole bar is filled with screaming Husker fans. It was just like being back in Nebraska, the one game I watched there last year. And the cheeseburgers are excellent! McGee's is located at 950 Webster in Chicago, IL - the number there is (773) 549-8200.
  Talked to McGee's today, and they are still the "Best Nebraska bar in Chicago". 09/02/00
