My guess would be that the Missouri fan was lipping off within earshot of Huston. This was the first time, in something like 25 years, that Nebraska lost to Missouri. I'm guessing that Huston was in no mood to be hearing smack from the Missouri fan, and clocked him. Justification? Hell, no! I'm in Nebraska (though not really a Cornhusker fan) and I say suspend him (Huston). The "Big Red" has to many indescretions shoved under the carpet because these guys can do no wrong in the eyes of many Nebrasans. This little episode would have gone unnoticed and nothing made of it, except that it just happened to be caught by the camera for the enjoyment of all.

From the 10/15/03 editorial section of the Omaha World Herald. [/QUOT

I agree, there a plenty of Husker apologists willing to overlook this incident, and the only reason Solich suspended this kid was because of P/R reasons. I heard that only a few of the local stations ran this story, amazing how much influence football has over the state.
