Lecture Examines Relationships Between Sports Teams and Fans

Ohio University Professor Roger C. Aden will deliver a lecture on relationships among sports teams and fans Thursday, Nov. 5 at the University of Central Arkansas.

The book gives an in-depth look at the football landscape in the state of Nebraska and the relationship between the fans and Cornhusker football.

The presentation, which is free and open to the public, will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the lobby of Thompson Hall on the UCA campus.
