Hmmm. I wonder what the popular "upset" pick will be next week on this board.

I know it seems like the sweetheart upset to pick this week, but in my podcast this week (link in the sig) I'm picking TCU to upset UT. UT has questions at QB (I don't care how good Colt McCoy looked last year) and the UT defense looked suspect against a pathetic Arkansas State team, but the real key to a TCU win will be UT and Greg Davis' insistence on continuing to play conservatively. This is why they long had the perception of being unable to win the big game-- and they're going to be even more conservative this week after the "scare" from Arkansas State last week. TCU 21; UT 17.

The show is funny, but not for everyone. It's a subtle brand of humor.

While kangaroo rat is certainly delicious (especially broiled over a bed of fettuccine), nothing comes close to poached California condor eggs. And not the non-sterilized variety. Mmmmmm... poached condor embryo....

Thanks, Eric.

1) How long have you been a member of Husker Nation? 34 years, but the first 4 I didn't really understand all the rules. 2) What/who led you to The Nation? My mother's uterus. 3) Where are you from originally? NE 4) Where do you live now? Austin, TX 5) Favorite Husker memory? Seeing the goal posts get marched down O street. 6) Worst Husker memory? Any FL team beating us in a bowl game in the 80s. 7) Number of home games attended? Can't remember- though none now that I've moved. 8) Number of away games attended? A handful. 9) Favorite Husker memorabilia/apparel? My husker license plate cover- which makes me a target in Austin. 10) Favorite place to watch a Husker game? (section in Memorial, bar, friends house etc.) Friend's big screen TV. 11) Favorite all time player? Tommie Frasier 12) WCO or Option? As much as this pains me: the WCO. 13) Stevie Pederson or Billy Byrne? The baseball fan in me requires me to answer Bill Byrne. 14) Lil Red or Herbie Husker? Herbie, although the inflatable aspect of the costume disturbs me. 15) Favorite Husker play? Herbie and Juliette. The Shakespeare festival's take on a classic was amazing. 16) Favorite game-day beverage? Dos Equis (the one good thing Austin has given me). 17) How did you find HuskerBoard? (referral source) Google.

And then complain that they were overlooked by the BCS.

Let's hope he got the dissolving stitches.

I'm new to Austin and up to my neck in orange bloods. There has to be an Austin Husker fan org, right?
