October 8, 1980

Gentlemen:

I have been coaching college football the past 28 years and have played before some great rowds in this country. I have never seen people with more class than I saw at Nebraska last week. The Nebraska fans, players, cheerleaders, band, officials, coaches, etc., gave me a living testimony of what college football should be all about. I actually had the feeling that when we upset the Nebraska team, that instead of hate and spite the Nebraska fans thanked us for coming to Lincoln and putting on a good show. This is nearly unheard of in today's society. Nebraska you are a great example for Americans to copy. I hope we show half the class your people do.

Sincerely,

Bobby Bowden

Head Football Coach
