1934: Seventy-six players report as spring practice begins for coach Dana X. Bible's Huskers.

1949: Improving the Huskers' pass defense is on the front burner for new head coach Bill Glassford in the early stages of spring drills.

1994: Nebraska and West Virginia agree to play in the Kickoff Classic on Aug. 28 at Giants Stadium in New Jersey.

2004: With spring practices approaching, offensive coordinator Jay Norvell discusses his plans for implementing the West Coast offense and schooling the quarterbacks.

Dang. You would figure he was big red through and through. It seems like he was kinda big in CNNSI 20 years ago. 

The last AD we snatched from NU was not a fan favorite.

THIS WEEK IN HUSKER HISTORY
The week of March 16-22, looking back in five-year intervals:

1909: The issue of training tables for college athletes causes a rift in the Missouri Valley Conference.

1924: As spring drills draw nearer, arrangements are made for the installation of a practice field at the south end of Memorial Stadium.

1929: Spring practices begin even though new coach Dana X. Bible has not yet arrived on campus.

1999: Nebraska wins by 50-3 – and it's baseball, not football.

2004: Bernie Scherer, who in 1936 became the first Husker to be selected in the NFL draft, dies at age 91 in Arizona. Also, the university negotiates with a different contractor for the North Stadium expansion project because of budget concerns.

2009: Former Husker quarterback Harrison Beck transfers for a second time, from North Carolina State to North Alabama.

2014: Former Nebraska defensive back Kenny Wilhite joins the staff as a regional recruiting assistant.

Washington received stunning news this morning as Pete Thamel of ESPN has reported that UW Athletic Director Troy Dannen is leaving Washington after less than 6 months to take the open position at Nebraska on a 6-year deal. This is the second time in the past year that Washington has had an AD leave for another job after Jen Cohen took a position at USC.
