Per La Velle:
As the battle of the backup quarterbacks unfolded between the Gophers and Nebraska on Saturday, about 100 Cornhuskers fans gathered in downtown Minneapolis in their now-weekly search for hope.
This is a depressed, angered, tormented, wounded, downtrodden and aggravated group of supporters who live in the Twin Cities and meet at Lyon's Pub in downtown Minneapolis, where the fight song is played regularly, and they can celebrate or commiserate over their favorite beverages. Huskers fans aren't used to 11 a.m. starts, so attendance was a little low at kickoff on this Saturday and the atmosphere was rather subdued.
Eventually, their emotions would be toyed with once again.
Go Gophers!!

Cornhuskers fans living, cheering in Minnesota were happy, for a half, against Gophers
Lyons Pub has long been a Twin Cities destination for Nebraska football fans. "Business has picked up since the coach was fired," the bar's co-owner said.
