LINCOLN, Neb. — The vibe around Nebraska football is eerily similar to what it was like the last time the Cornhuskers’ 1997 national championship team gathered in Lincoln for a reunion. That was in 2007. On a gloomy afternoon, and with the men who were part of Tom Osborne’s mid-1990s dominance in attendance, Bill Callahan’s
