PJ has a history with Nebraska

As in...

Georgia Southern piled up 500 yards despite having two touchdowns called back against Dennis Erickson's rising Oregon State team in a 48-41 loss in '99. Erickson reportedly immediately told his boss to never schedule that team again and word apparently got around quickly.

"We've called South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia Tech," Johnson said. "Gosh, we've called everybody. We have a hard time getting a game. Georgia has to play us every four years so we'll get them in 2004."

Johnson discovered one opponent willing to play him.

"Nebraska, they wanted to open the season with us," he said.

Why didn't that work out, a reporter asked.

"What am I, crazy? We wouldn't have had enough people left to play our Southern Conference schedule," Johnson said laughing. "There's a big difference in playing at Nebraska where they just keep running out those big hosses. We'll play Georgia, Florida or whoever because it's not the same physical beating you'd take with Nebraska."
