PursuitOfHappiness

So I thought I'd tell you guys a fairly amusing story of my trip to the Big 12 championship last year. So in all there was going to be my dad, me, three of my cousins and one of their friends on this crazy trip to Dallas. All of them were legal drinking age except for my sixteen year old self. Well one of my cousin coaches high school basketball, so we decided we would wait for him. His game was over at about 10 o clock at night on Friday, and after the game was over we all met at York about eleven, seeing a few of us live in Columbus, Lincoln, and Humphrey. We met at a truck stop in York, and we had previously decided to take my family's minivan. So six of us eventually packed into this enclosed space and were off to Dallas. Well a couple miles outside of York, my father was pulled over by a state trooper going 15 over. Slight setback as he was given a $150 ticket (so much for getting to Dallas earlier than intended by speeding). Well mu dad drove all night, as my cousins booz it up and sleep. We eventually hit Dallas about 10 in the morning, and trust me I recommend driving at night because time seems to fly. We arrived at a hotel a couple miles from the Jerry Dome (Studio Plus if anyone needs a hotel, very nice place (. Well as we walked in, the hotel wreaked of a certain green substance that rhymes with hakuna matata. I'm not going to go into which race this man was, but let's just say his eyes definitely bled Husker Red. Well after we Febreezed our room a bit, one of my cousins, me, and my Dad decided to head out to a bar not to far away. And it happened to be a bar with North Texas Nebraskans all over, which by the way is an excellent organization. So we ate some wings, my cuz took a few shots, and we headed back to the hotel. We then took a long nap, showered, and decided to leave for the game about 3am. We tailgated by our car for awhile, and my cousins got pretty lit (that will come up later). We then decided to walk to a tailgate that a friend of my father's was hosting. This friend was expected to die of cancer, and my dad wanted to see him since he lives in Dallas. Happily, we went down to College Station and his friend is still alive and doing just great, which is a great thing. Well as we were walking to this RV, one of my cousins was continually yelling "Steers and Queers" to seemingly every Texas fan he saw (bad idea, but well intended). Well as we were at the tailgate, that same cousin decided to take a piss on a Texas RV, and a struggle continued almost immediately. My cousin was seemingly clotheslined by a Texas fan, and a sort of brawl was started. Until my 6 foot 4 inch 220 pound cousin the brother of my cousin, decided to put the guy in a chokehold, and he then held it until he was unconscious, and we immediately left. I know sounds a bit sketchy, but every part of it was true. Well as we are walking into Jerry Stadium, my cousin realized when he was punched that he lost his glasses. So he had to run back to the RV, apologize for being a deusch, and then grab his glasses out from the bottom of a trash can. Well he really wanted to see the game. The game eventually began, and we all shared a Texas size Frito Pie worth $10, trust me it is an excellent use of cash. Well as Alex Henery eventually kicked the game winner I saw my dad begin to shed a few tears, and I didn't blame him because I knew our love for the game. Well then we all know what eventually happened. McCoy rolled out looked to his right, threw it out of bounds, and I was watching the clock the entire time. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. I saw that clock hit zero, and I immediately thought we had upset the mighty Longhorns. I jumped into my dad's arms, and he said what happened, and I was like the clock ran out. He was twirling my 170lb frame around, and he is even lighter than me. As I put my finger in the air and was yelling we're number 1. Then about five seconds later the referre said it was under review. Well we then know what eventually happened. Never have I been to a game where I celebrate a victory and a loss. But that 20 seconds where I thought we won was some of the best twenty seconds I have had in my young life as a husker fan. We then went back to the hotel, and sulked our tears in alcohol, well not me exactly . It then took 14 hours to drive back to York and then eventually Columbus. Because if anyone remembers driving home that Sunday, there was a blanket of snow coming down around Wichita, and it was not a good thing at all. But at least we had the Nebraska v Creighton basketball game to listen to, which really capped the weekend of husker losses, damn Bluejays. But it was a great trip, and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Hope you enjoyed "my experience". any questions about Dallas, hotel reservations, or parking just ask.

we need Ron Ron- Kellog Brand baby

Dirk is a stud writer...keep doing your thing baby

Agreed, my father said the same thing. I know life isn't fair, but that whole thing was utter bull sh*t, look at some of us who drove all this way to support the huskers and watch a game like that. Felt like grad theft auto, while I was in the car.

My advice...check out some Johnny Drama clips on Youtube...or buy every season like myself.

I'm 17, my dad and I are driving all the way from Columbus, getting out of school around 1030 tomorrow morning, and then driving about 10 or 11 hours, hopefully south side of Dallas, and then go to the game, hopefully it's a long...but fun ride home.

As season seven of Entourage ended with a bang in September, I thought I'd give my own "Pursuit of Happiness" power rankings...with a speck of johnny drama. 1. Boise State Broncos- The Broncos seem to smack everyone on their schedule and in all honesty have a much tougher SOS than TCU. Last week they spanked Idaho in the Kibbie Dome, which was the smallest Division 1 college football venue with 15,000 seats. Drama wishes he could have 15,000 people watch him. Turtle: What are you so worried about? Drama: This is my movie too. Turtle: Oh, I forgot. Give us your line again. Drama: Alright, alright. "I'm out of here motherf**kers!" 2. Oregon Ducks- The Oregon Mascot finally got a break from those 1000 or so push ups he had begun to do, as he and the Duck offense was limited to 15 points. Chip Kelly said it best a win is a win and the Ducks haven't decided to stop quacking until migration season. Yet some people thought Oregon looked very stale, and unprepared for this game. Davies: It's not gonna be easy to get you back in the game. Drama: Back in the game?... I am the f**king game pal! 3. LSU Tigers- Some people may think this sounds really crazy. But look at my logic, if Cam Newton was payed, they basically are undefeated. They have the best coach in the country and come up clutch in big game situations. Kind of like Drama. Drama: I had a small part in The Crow. Turtle: He was the bird! 4. TCU Horned Frogs- I guess I'll give TCU the benefit of the doubt, they are undefeated and should beat down 1-9 New Mexico in their final game. Some people say their SOS is soft, well it is, and a 1 loss SEC or Big 12 champion could very well jump them. Well one can dream. Drama: Floor level or bust. That's my moto. Eric: I thought it was "will act for food." 5. Wisconsin Badgers- Yeah I don't respect these guys very much, but anytime you can score 83 on a team with at least 4 wins it means something. They could very well lose to Michigan, and that is what most Big 10 teams, and many one loss teams are hoping for. Drama: Back off a little, you're too close! Turtle: We're two cars back. What do you want from me? Drama: Always keep two-fifths of a block between you and your subject. Turtle: Oh what, you've done this before Drama? Drama: Too many times Turtle, too many times. 6. Nebraska Cornhuskers- I gotta put us here because we are one of the only teams in the country to take down three currently ranked teams, well we are also the only one loss team to lose to an unranked opponent in Texas. Drama: Turtle, if you can't get laid here, turn your dick in. 7. Stanford- Stanford sure hopes to find the gold at the end of the rainbow with Luck at the helm. Drama: Victoryyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! 8. Oklahoma State- They basically spanked everyone besides the mighty Nebraska Cornhuskers. Who knows? If they run the table and take down our Cornhuskers they could be looking at a way to sneak into the BCS Title game, and get their first Big 12 championship. Drama: Do you know what time it is? Brooke Shields: Oh, sorry, no watch. Drama: Yeah, I noticed you don't wear any jewelry. Brooke Shields: No, I never really have. Drama: Yeah, me neither. No watch, no bracelet, no ring 9. Auburn Tigers- Alabama will hand Auburn their first loss, and Saban will laugh in the face of Chizik because Saban will get some pooty tang and Chizick will again decide to suck off Cam Newton. Everyone will also find out that Newton was "payed to play." No? Turtle: All right, you know what? f#*k you and f#*k you, all right? That's it, I'm done, I quit. [Walks off] Drama: What's he quitting? He gets paid? 10. Michigan State Spartans- The Spartans seem to be lurking around, but haven't made much of a push towards the BCS bowl games in about 12 years, could this be their gig? Drama: I've been working steady for the past twelve years, minus the last three.

"to the endzone...and purify...touchdown" That drive and game in general was awesome. Who had Dan Erikson as drive savior in that game? Anyone? That game was almost like the trip before that down in College Station when David Horne went ape in the fourth quarter to rally for the win. The other thing that sticks out in my head about the "Drive" game, was in the first quarter Cody Glenn let out a huge F Bomb that the TV caught after his TD. "let's f*ckin go"

"to the endzone...and purify...touchdown"

and it was with callahan

I am also in section 18 sir..what row/s

Baby steps to the BCS (title) Nebraska will most likely move down a spot or stay the same in the new BCS standings to be released tonight. But as Nebraska watched their team win over a less than average Kansas squad, they also watched as three of the four undefeated teams almost went down on Saturday. Everyone may say that the BCS title is really an unrealistic expectation for Nebraska, and yes we still have two to three games to play. But crazier things have happened like 2001 for example. Cal put a chink in Oregon's armor, Georgia almost took down an Auburn team at home, and TCU looked less than stellar against a very average San Diego State team at home. Stanford almost went down to Arizona State and Ohio State had two pick sixes off a walk on quarterback in the second half that brought them to victory. A one loss team will most likely jump a TCU or a Boise State now that we see how bad TCU's schedule looks. TCU's best win besides a Utah team that got mandhanlded at Notre Dame on Saturday, is a win against San Diego State at home, or a 9 point win against a 4-5 Oregon State team that lost to Washington State on Saturday. My guess is Oregon, TCU, and Boise State stay undefeated and Oregon is obviously a shoe in. Auburn should go down to Alabama in the Iron Bowl, or we can rely on the fact that hopefully the NCAA finds $200,000 suddenly deposited in Cam Newton's checking account in 2009. What helps Nebraska a lot if the fact that we play the last week of the season, while the only other teams in the top ten that will play are Boise State, Oregon, Auburn, and hopefully a one loss Oklahoma State team. Wisconsin could go down to Michigan next week, Stanford plays a California team at Berkeley who almost took down a number one Oregon team, LSU will not play in the SEC championship Game and still has Arkansas left on their schedule. Those three teams go down, who knows what could happen. Barring the fact that Oregon still has Oregon State left, and Boise still has two games against a great offense in Nevada, and Fresno State who lost to that same Nevada team by a point last night. So for right now let's take down Texas A and M, take down Colorado, and put three guys on Justin Blackmon. When the dust settles, and the dominoes fall, Husker fans may have to reschedule their vacation to Glendale. For a week later.
