To the editor:

The Lincoln Journal Star printed a comment by a young Jayhawk fan upon leaving the Nov. 14 Nebraska football game. He said, “At least we can beat Nebraska in basketball.” He is right, but I take exception to his spirit.

Kansas played a hard game. They never quit and even took the lead at one point. The KU offensive line held one of the best defensive lines to a standoff. My first concern is for the Cornhuskers. Second, I follow the Big 12. I am proud to have a team like Kansas be a Big 12 member. They never quit. I ask you, young fan, to take heart. You have a good coach and a good team. Continue to support them as best you can. Their fortunes will turn. Take pride in them.
