I hate that song. That bourbon sounds real tempting right now.

BE LOUD!

I flipped between my ABC channels... neither had sound for a minute there.... Anyways on with the game! I feel like a kid on Christmas GOOOOOOOOOOOOO BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

Almost there... We're down to counting minutes now... GBR

Yep UCLA won

Wow... I'm speechless. I don't think anyone could have imagined this (myself included). Looks like UCLA is going to win.

I'll haul the ThinkPad out infront of the big screen. I think I have some leftover pizza and box of chicken wings in the freezer. Plus a six pack and some red food coloring. It's 16º outside, so I've got the fireplace turned up.

NCAAF: Huskers, but I like watching a good game with other teams if nothing else is on (could really care less what the final score would be for those games) NCAAB: Gonzaga, pretty much in March. Only the Zags because it seems that's all I get NFL: Seahawks. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, they've come second in my heart (after the Huskers of course) NBA: I don't think I've ever watched a full NBA game MLB: I'm embarassed to admit this, but LA. Once football season starts though, I could care less about baseball.

I was wearing my jersey at work today. Guess how many comments I got? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . None. But I saw quite a bit of Longwhorns crap (it's always fashionable). The only time I ever got a comment about what I was wearing was when it was busy and they asked me to jump on a cash register. A get a woman come through and she looks me up and down, and goes, "A Husker fan? Well I'm from Oklahoma. So I guess we're not supposed to like each other." "No ma'am."

I can't wait... I know the game starts in about 12 hours but I'm too excited. I really wish I had that fight song CD, so I could be blasting that in the car on the way to work, but I haven't received it yet. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

I have the shirt and on the back it says 5 nat. championships 3 heisman winners 43 conference titles ect. I got it from a husker clothes and stuff magazine. Like this one? I've got that one too.

I already know what I'm getting for Christmas, so the Huskers winning tomorrow will be a much better present and eariler too! :restore

If that's the case, then I'm a student a Montana State in addition to the college I'm currently enrolled in. Same goes for a former classmate of mine, last year he goes on and on about how great the Flames are, then like about 2 weeks ago out of the blue he says "I'm a Notre Dame fan". Prior to that, he never brought up football, let alone NCAA football. Then he grills me for all kinds of info, he even asked me what P.A.T. stood for. Does that make me a student at the other colleges that I signed up on mailing lists? As someone who works retail, it is very smart to sell hot items (I experienced this first hand), it's just the people that get me .

So yesterday I was at the mall shopping for tennis shoes. First store I go to is Foot Locker, I notice they have a rack of college shirts, so going through the assortment they had: USC, UT, NC, and OU. All in an assortment of colors and styles (eg. they had a white Texas shirt with the female anatomy logo in camouflage) to match the bandwagon fan’s outfit. So I figured I’d ask the sales clerk if they had any Huskers stuff; nope, none. So I go to a few other stores the Champs only had Michigan and Michigan State hats for their college stuff. The next store I went to; Sport Check (a behemoth sporting goods store) I was looking at the tennis shoes, when I hear a sales clerk go “Bah, Cornhuskers.” (I was wearing my Huskers National Champs winter coat) His comment fell on deaf ears. Then the same :asshat says to someone else working there, “All about the Longwhorns baby.” When I went to turn around to ask him the score to the Texas/A&M game, he was gone. At that store they work on commissions, so needless to say, they lost a sale (and tennis shoes aren’t that cheap either). Which makes me think, when I was in grade school, I remember everybody wore Chicago Bulls stuff because it was cool and they all loved Michael Jordan. I think I was the only kid in the whole school that wore a Nebraska shirt, but that wasn’t because it was the cool thing to do, it was because I showed support for my favorite team. Sure we haven’t won every single game, but after a loss, I won’t burn all my stuff and swich teams because some other team is winning or because it’s the cool thing to do. Real fans are those who stick through the thick and thin, and won’t hop on/off the bandwagon as a result of a win/loss. Case and point, in Alberta there are two major cities: Calgary (where I live right next to) and Edmonton. Both have hockey teams: Calgary Flames and Edmonton Oilers. Last year during hockey season, everybody is wearing a Calgary jersey, and talk about their precious Flames, and how much they love them, and have about ½ a dozen Calgary car flags on their cars. They also talk about how much they hate Edmonton, how much Edmonton sucks, and how great Calgary is (they’re about the same as Sooner fans). So Calgary loses a game and they’re kicked out of they playoffs (or something like that, I don’t follow hockey) and then overnight everyone becomes Edmonton fans. We sold out of Edmonton car flags in 1 day (prior to that they were collecting dust), and every other person that came in was asking if we had any Edmonton crap, and what little we initially had was gone. So you know what? I’m glad we have a loyal fan base, and are considered the underdog. I’d rather someone be a Sooner (or any other 'cool' school) bandwagon fan then a Husker bandwagon fan, because at this moment they might love the team, and as quickly can turn around and say how much they hate the same team they had just loved. I've got a tshirt that says Real Fans Wear Red, and if we were a team that was popular with bandwagon fans, I'm sure we'd see all kinds of variations to match outfits (shirts in blue or green or even rat nasty purple; anything other than our true colors). Of course it is inevitable to not have any bandwagon fans at all, but at least its not as bad as some of the other teams.

Sorry to ruin things, but I know a Nicole, that isn't hot at all. She's about the same height as me, and has more features of a man. But I know another Nicole that is hot, so I guess the two cancel themselves out.

I want to be able to hear all of you in KC all the way up here. This is our chance to that Nebraska is back!

After having defiled every animal in the state of Colorado, Dan Hawkins turns his attention to inflatables.

I just experienced that for the last week! It was about -20 (F) average, only today it warmed up to 25. Subzero temperatures are not fun, especially when it's still fall. I'm not looking forward to the rest of the winter here. At least for the next 10 days, the mercury appears to be above 0 (according to The Weather Channel).

I dreamt last night we up 57-14 3rd quarter. It was like something from TO's days. Realistically, I honestly believe we can get the W, but it'll be much closer than that.

Does Arbor Mist count? Seriously, I'm a whiskey guy. But nothing tops red beer

Here, we are only required to have 1 license plate on the back of our vehicles. Currently I've got one expiring in 1996 with the first number being 1 (Douglas County), that I got from my grandparents. I was wondering if anyone's got one preferably with an '88 expiry sticker (the expiry sticker is not that big of a deal, but would be a nice touch, since that's the year of my car)with the sunburst with the first number being 2 (Lancaster County). Priced reasonably thanks! Something identical to:

Linky About 1/2 way down the page.

Not something that I'd wear everyday, unless I got paid a ridiculous sum of money (hint, hint). And yes I'm a proud owner.
