Ordinarily, the Catholic Family and I would’ve attended the NU spring football game in Lincoln, NE. But this year, we missed it due to a flu-bug situation with a certain small person who needed extra rest at home on game day. Things work out that way sometimes. But no worries, because we watched highlights of the game on TV which was just fine by us. The excitement and anticipation of a new Bo Pelini football era is completely contagious, whether we attended the game in real life or watched the aftermath on television. Good times are back!
Speaking of which, did you see the big NU write-up in Sports Illustrated last week?! It’s true! Our little red and white team made SI, leaving everyone in the state all puffed up with pride and with big heads over the whole thing. The newscasters and reporters even held up copies for all to see during a news broadcast, as they smiled all wide-eyed. I mean, this is not your no name magazine folks - it’s SPORTS ILLUSTRATED. Which leads me to wonder if the media is pumping Husker Nation up for a big letdown all over again, leaving all those cornhead hats smushed up in the wake of all this hysteria. I don’t think I can bear it again after what Callahan did to the team. So sad.
*ohhm* Positive thoughts here. *ohhm*
Off in search of that ‘Tunnel Walk‘ video. Now that’s inspiration.
The Catholic Hubs and I just finished having lunch at Arby’s, but this was no ordinary lunch. Nuh-uh. Why? Well, Hubs leaked some secret insider information having to do with the selection of a new Nebraska Cornhusker football coach. Oh yes he did! So now I must spill the beans right here in bloggerville, because that’s what blogs are all about: bean spillinginformation disseminating. Continue Reading »
This morning I spent my usual time volunteering in the youngest child’s classroom, the one with the teacher (Mrs. Gobigred) who happens to be the biggest Nebraska Cornhusker football fan on the planet. So before the bell rang, another mom helper and I carried on our confab with Mrs. GBR because a certain event occurring overnight bared mentioning:
The three of us agreed that good ‘ole Steve had it coming to him, especially, ESPECIALLY after Peterson fired former coach Frank Solich, replacing him with Callahan and his cronies. Can you say ‘freaking IDIOT’?! I mean you just wouldn’t be a true home grown NU football fan if you agreed with Peterson’s handling of the athletic program. Ever. And despite the fact that we’re glad to see Peterson go, we won’t be out there on 72nd Street partying like it’s 1999 with those other Husker fans. (The nutty ones.) According to Mrs. GBR, “Someone just lost a job! Celebrating about it wouldn’t be right.” Nevertheless, we are glad to see the big toxic waste removal.
Speaking of which, Mrs. GBR then kindly sent us off to sniff cement glue like good little volunteers. Dude! Maybe Peterson would like to join up with us? Huh, Steve? We’ve got an extra bottle of cement glue just for you!
