Christmas tree onaments, leather jacket with Huskers all over it, (way too big though so it goes to the hubby and I get his sweatshirt!!) bottle opener that plays the fight song when you open a bottle and a pen that plays the fight song when you click it- I like unique things like that.

Well said...totally agree.

Doesn't work for me either

You are an ass. No one wants you here. No one cares for your 'insight'. Go to the USC or sCUm board where you belong... Buh bye!! Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya! Oh yeah, Merry Christmas. Go Big Red!

Autographed picture of Tommie Fraizer running down the sidelines at the Fiesta Bowl. Happened to be camping in Estes Park and he was making an appearance at the Big Red of the Rockies store. So I anted up the $$ for the picture and stood in line. That man is freakin' huge...I couldn't believe it. God I was so excited! Talk about being in the right place at the right time...

Count me in! And actually, I think there are quite a few of us. Definitely in the minority though. Just enough of us females here to keep 'em honest!!! Man I'm sore from shoveling snow...

Happy Birthday Uno! Remeber, you're not getting older, you're getting better!!! Hope the day was good for you and you got everything you wanted...

here are some pics from my patio. You'll notice the tunnel shoveled for the dog...he will not go outside when the weather is nasty...

Holy moly it's snowing like crazy here in Longmont Colorado and all over the front range!!!! Blizzard conditions. Looks like we will be having a white christmas! Expecting anywhere from 12-24" along the front range. Looks like the hubby can finally use his 4-wheeler and plow!! He'll be happy! Just thought I would share the weather forcast with all of you.

Welcome back Kid. We missed ya!

You know, I don't know if you are right or wrong in your theories, but I for one am so tired of being PC all the freakin' time...can't we just be happy with the fact that we have a great coach who wants to be here regardless of anything else? Just for once? I think he will be a nice addition to the staff...just my opinion though...

Oh my Gosh!!! Holy Moly!!! You go Pierre Allen... What a force he will be! If I gained 35 pounds...I'd probably be divorced!! Just kiddin'

Husker Rob...you had asked me a question and I just now saw it...sorry 'bout that we left Doniphan in '86. Got married in April '86, went to CO for the honeymoon, hubby found a job while we were there completely by accident and 20 years later, we are still here. My husbands folks still live out in the country in Doniphan. I'm actually from a small town further north so I really don't know a lot of people in Doniphan but by god I know where Katie's Bar and the Legion Club are...lol. by the way, when do you get to come home and will it be for good or will you have to go back?

Many many moons ago, in GI NE, I, along with my not of age manfriend at the time, was ticketed for procuring (buying) for a minor . He got MIP. Funny part is I met my future father-in -law at the Hall County Court House and the State Patrol took our beer!!!! Yes I was older...obviously! My bad!!! Not really, still together 20 yrs later. Gots to have the same interests I tell ya'!!

Oh this is going to be a tough 3 31/2 weeks...

Off topic...I suppose...if there were a topic.. my wine glass is empty, husband is snorin' on the couch I'm filling my glass, I work from home tomorrow so maybe I'll have 2 refills... Carry on...

Oh the memories of living in small town Nebraska... no fear, lots of beer and the snow, 4-wheel drives... god damn I hate getting old...

Happy Birthday! Hope your day was great! God 30 seems sooo long ago...

Very cool!! No one ever agree's with me!! thanks bud!

I disagree. No One os on the 'hot seat' as far as I'm concerned. We won the North which we have not done since '99, That is progress from where I'm sitting No blow out losses, progress. Coach Callahan is not nor will he be on the hot seat in the forseeable future. We are so much better than we were. What a bunch of entitled fans some have become. I, for one like where we are as a program. Big XII title game for the first time in 7years, New Years Day bowl game for the first time in forever...2001 does so not count...we should have neve been there... I'm happy with where we are... and feelin' better for the future! GO BIG RED!!

(hopefully this works, I'm so not techy...I thought it was a cool story) http://www.journalstar.com/articles/2006/1...52979413646.txt Brothers in arms, rivals in red Called together to serve in Iraq, Nebraskans and Oklahomans unite — save for three hours this weekend By BRIAN CHRISTOPHERSON | Lincoln Journal Star For three hours, the boys will come closer to home. There will be popcorn and chips and beer — non-alcoholic, but still cold like yours. And there will be screaming and 37-inch TVs blaring and goofy bets — loser owes winner a bag of Tostitos and five pushups for every point his team loses by. And there will be men in the middle of a war who care how many yards Zac Taylor throws for, how many trick plays Bob Stoops has, whether a football game nine time zones away is tinted scarlet or crimson. And there will be a strict wakeup call: Kickoff is at 4 a.m. Lord knows that’s early, but this is Nebraska-Oklahoma. Sleep is no option when it comes to watching your team play football. “It almost seems like you are home watching the game and can forget about things for the three glorious hours of watching Husker football,” writes Sgt. 1st Class Joel Bean, Husker fan. “We work seven days a week, but being able to watch the games really helps make it feel like a weekend,” writes Capt. Scott Page, Sooner fan. A funny thing happened at Camp Anaconda in Iraq. They put Bean’s 734th transportation battalion from Kearney alongside Page’s unit from Fort Sill, Okla. Men who grew up revering Osborne, Tagge and Frazier became brothers with those who spent their youth in the corner of Switzer, Mildren and Bosworth. Husker Power and Boomer Sooner on the same team? “It was really cool,” writes the 26-year-old Page in an e-mail. “One of the things I’ve always loved about the OU-Nebraska rivalry is that it’s different from the rest. It doesn’t have the animosity of an OU-Texas game or a Nebraska-Colorado game. It’s a tradition founded in respect.” Ah, but even brothers must squabble sometimes. Just like the old Big Eight days, Nebraska and Oklahoma are playing for a conference championship during the wee hours of an Iraqi Sunday morning. Someone’s pride is about to get hurt. “We don’t trash-talk too much. Of course I probably will a little more after we beat them on Saturday,” the 40-year-old Bean writes. It’s interesting how a few hundred miles alter a person’s football perception. Just look Bean’s way. Born and raised in Aurora. Mom graduated from Lexington with Monte Kiffin. First game he attended was in 1977 when the Huskers upset Bear Bryant’s Alabama team. And you want a snapshot to cling to on the toughest days of war? How about that time he took his 6-year-old son, the oldest of two boys, to his first Husker game last year. Nebraska beat Iowa State in two overtimes. “That was special,” he writes. Then there’s Page. Born on Jan. 1, 1980, he made his father miss OU’s 24-7 Orange Bowl win over Florida State. Dad still gives him heck for that. Went to school in Norman. Was a student in 2000 when the Sooners won the national title. “If I could only watch one sport for the rest of my life, it would definitely be Sooner football,” Page writes. Should’ve seen Page last weekend. A Saturday became a Sunday in Iraq as he followed the Internet play-by-play of the Oklahoma-Oklahoma State game. The Sooners had to win to get into the Big 12 Championship to play Bean’s Huskers. Went down to the last play. Sooner magic prevailed, 27-21. “(I) ended up running quite a few laps through the building while screaming my head off after that one went final.” It was 2 in the morning. Both men admit it’s weird watching football in a war zone. With all that’s going on around you, why would a football game mean anything? Maybe because of that “N” on the helmet? That “Sooners” on the jersey? That’s home. “It gives a lot of the guys something else to talk about for a few days besides everything that’s going on over here,” Page writes. And so he’s spent many a late night tracking Sooner scores on the Internet, or yelling like a lunatic after seeing an Oklahoma score on the Armed Forces TV Network. “It can take a toll on you by the end of the day,” he writes. “But it’s worth every sleep-deprived minute.” And so the alarm will sound early on Sunday morning in Iraq. Sooners and Huskers will wipe sleep from their eyes. You probably won’t be able to tell an Oklahoma boy from a Nebraska boy until someone puts the ball into the end zone. “Brothers in arms,” Page writes. “Except for a few hours this Saturday.”

It's called progress people, progress!! It is a very good thing!!! 3 vs 7 progress indeed!

Advantage:HUSKERS.. I don't think Oklahoma has ever had to play in adverse conditions. I think the advantage swings to us as far as weather conditions goes. Regardless, Coach Callahan will have them ready. I have no doubt. Zac already said he would trade his individual awards for 'the ring'! I'm so excited!!! I wish I could be there!!

I was soooo hoping Miami wouldn't even get a bowl bid....losers and thugs that they are...I wonder if they all have to sign a waiver to participate??!!!! anyway..it freakining freezn' in Colorado. I'm not even in the mountains! I have 6-7" of snow in my backyard and the low temps are estimated at -2 or so for the low tonight!!! That's cold for us in the lowlands...below the foothills!!! However, the mountains look absolutely beautiful in the morning! (if I can see them)
