And now YOU'RE wearing diapers! What marvelous symmetry!

"Thuderstruck?" As physical as the team is these days, the tunnel walk music should be Percy Faith's "Theme for Young Lovers." As for your namesake song, I would rather hear Terri Schaivo's brain-dead moaning noises.

The topic was "What is everyone's funniest story that has happened to them in or around Memorial Stadium". Your opinion as to whether they are funny - to you - is not a story of the funniest thing that has happened to you in or around Memorial Stadium. Your post was off-topic. You're dissembling. I was commenting on the topic and whether the posters who preceded me were really relating anything funny. But of this helps, let me add an anecdote of my own--I remember when LP returned to the lineup in '95. We were playing Iowa State, and the wombat campus feminists were protesting all over the place. They started arguing with my buddy Ted, and after the biggest, most terrifying tennis pro in the group tried to persuade us that we were wrong to support violence against women, Ted threw up ALL OVER HER! It was chunky. We laughed with merry glee.

I sense that you don't like what I had to say, but I don't see how you can suggest that I was off-topic. The very topic of my post was the topic of this thread. As far as that goes, I think you can argue that the other posters are off-topic, since none of them posted anything remotely funny. Maybe you need to warn them, too. But in the meantime, I will go read the board rules.

Yeah, we've got some talent at this position--of course, we had talented I-backs last year, too, and that didn't stop our genius coach from throwing the ball at the expense of the run...

These stories are just sad. The programming on UPN is more amusing than this dreck.

I predict that several of our linemen will enjoy bowls of mashed potatoes and gravy over the holidays while they watch well-coached teams playing in various post-season contests.

Cub, you're allright with me.

Some friend.

What are you saying Callahan COULD coach Brittany to act like a trashy slut? Seriously, I'll be standing with my fork at the ready. But I'll probably put it away when we lose to Wake Forest. They're gonna run the ball right at us, and they've seen enough real passing offenses in the ACC that none of them is going to get all scared at Billy C's pop-gun. I mean, it's just great that Taylor can put up big numbers against our reserves, but these other teams that we play might just put some scholarship players out on the field...

I fear that by season's end, the answer will clearly be "no." What has Callahan ever done to suggest the contrary? Getting to the Super Bowl and getting strafed like Dresden? Solich got blown out in a championship game, too--and I don't see anyone hailing him as a genius. Callahan couldn't coach Brittany Spears to act like a trashy slut.

If Callahan had any respect for our traditions, last year would have been very different. If nothing else, maybe he would've played to win instead of striving to impress recruits with a passing game that didn't fit our talent at all. I know most of the Husker Nation is drinking the kool-aid, but I say the guy's a snake-oil salesman. We'll be better off when he's back in the NFL.

I'll bet there'll be a few folks in West Stadium this year who recall the ol' Flyin' T--assuming, of course, that dementia hasn't totally robbed them of such priceless memories.
