Every Husker home game, Dr. Tim Gay attempts something as crazy as running against the NU defense: bringing physics to everyday life. In one-minute segments shown on the screens around the stadium, he talks about basic physics concepts that play an important role in the game of football.

To see these clips, you'll need QuickTime, available from www.apple.com. Note: lessons may take a few minutes to download over a modem. Select "Small" for a scaled-down version.

A special thank you to the people at HuskerVision: Tonya McMillion and Kay Dowd who produced these segments, and Jeff Schmahl who had the original idea and who is responsible for two-thirds of the bad jokes.
