Hammerhead

I heard some people are gonna be playing football today. Is it true?

So CNN's news rotation for today: Cop shot by man, man shot by cop, repeat. Pretty hard to get rid of the disrepect for and from cops if the media is just going to keep fueling the fire...

While we're on the subject of job openings, any bets on how soon the help wanted ad for Memorial Stadium's PA announcer goes up?

Just put in a down payment on the ring for my soon-to-be fiance... so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

The WBC has announced that they are coming to Omaha to protest Ofc. Kerrie Orozco's funeral. Do these people have any redeeming qualities whatsoever?

What's the matter Richard, not gonna trash talk Tom Brady after the game this time?

Yes Richard Sherman, you'll always be #1 to me. *Holds up middle finger*

The best possible outcome to this game will be thousands of Seahawks fan upset that they lost to a bunch of cheaters.

Say what you want about ESPN, but so much of sports journalism is what it is today because of one man. Rest in peace, Stuart Scott.

I don't have a favorite team in the playoffs, but if the Seahawks get taken out before the Super Bowl, I'll root for whichever team does it. Yes, even if it's the Cowboys.

If Orgeron is interested in working at Nebraska, I hope Nebraska reciprocates the interest.

I'm not one to hate on our players, but Josh Mitchell is putting together a helluva campaign for a nomination to the DBHOF, judging by his Twitter posts...

I have a lot of respect for Bo and I think he's a good coach, but at the same time I believe the right decision was made. Now let's hope the right decision is made in finding his replacement.

I don't normally wish injuries upon football players, but if Richard Sherman ever suffers a career-ending injury, it'll be like Christmas for me. I absolutely cannot stand that guy.

And yet again, all the Bo Pelini apologists will look at our final record for the year, neglecting the fact that we're beating weak opponents in mostly unimpressive fashion and are getting embarrassed by teams with a pulse. This is the song that never ends, yes it goes on and on my friends...

Remember back when there was no way Nebraska was going to lose 4 games this season? Yeah, me either.

I'm not sure which makes me feel better: seeing the Longhorns lose, or seeing the Seahawks lose.

Calvin Johnson and the Panthers defense combined for a whopping -2.8 points today. This is definitely not my year for fantasy football...

Since there's apparently a limit on how much one can post in a status update, let me just say this: Barry McCockiner.

it's caps lock friday, am i doing it right?

Judging from many of the former and current NFL players' reactions to the Ray Rice video, I'd bet a good chunk of change that he'll never play another down in the NFL.

Wow... I picked a helluva game to make my first trip to Memorial Stadium. Glad we won though. Let's hope we improve from here on out.

Confession time: In my 29 years of living, I have been to exactly 0 Husker games. That number will increase by 1 on Saturday. I know, it's just McNeese State, but still... this is something I've been waiting all my life for.

$EC fans on Facebook are all talking about how weak the B1G is, and a few even threw out the notion that the only reason Nebraska looked so good was that they played a weak opponent. Other than Georgia in one half of football, none of their teams looked that great, but if LSU beating a team they're ranked above already by 4 points makes them feel dominant, more power to 'em I guess.

From 76 years without a freshman Heisman winner to a freshman winning it two years in a row. Crazy.
