Default Also, you've got to have...

the great George Flippin on the team. He played in 1892. He was the first black player at Nebraska and just the 5th to play at a predominately white institution.

Back in those days, Missouri refused to play the Cornhuskers because of Flippin and lost 1-0 in a forfeit. Flippin was Johnny Rodgers before he was the Player of the Century.
