Huskers Save The Universe

[Roundball Shaman]

People are buzzing about whether this past Husker season should be considered a success or not. But in fact, the answer is crystal clear. Actually, the debate isn’t even close.

 

There is nowhere in the Known Universe where the health and esteem of an entire State in America and it’s national legion of fans is more tied to than the State of Nebraska and Husker Nation. Others may come close, but they have mitigating factors that ultimately disqualify them. It is in Nebraska’s very DNA for its State University to be national football powerhouse.

 

The Universe seeks balance. When things are out of balance, everyone feels it. Things just seem off, and nothing feels right. That has been the case with Husker Football and Husker Nation for the last two decades. Central to the health and stability of the Known Universe is Husker Nation and having top-level success and performance of Nebraska Football. You restore Huskers to National prominence and you restore the proper balance of the Universe. That qualifies as pretty darned important.

 

You say, what’s the evidence for that? You say that kind of talk is just silly? Look at the world-at-large over the last twenty years. So many things have gone wrong. So many things have gone off the rails. This all started with the decline of Husker football that began back then. It continued each year with the misguided starts and stops of program resets. All things remained out of balance. You won’t find a better reason anywhere that the world began to go off the rails.

 

So, this year is a success beyond anyone’s imagination. The entire trajectory of the Husker football program has been turned around from irrelevance and frustration and pain to re-found notoriety, hope, and the anticipated joys that are waiting just ahead.

 

Some may say that no, this is just football and football is just a game. Try telling that to all the Husker greats over the years and all of Husker Nation that has lived and died with this team and made them a special part of their very own families. Try telling that to the farmers working the blustery fields on a cold and sleeting Saturday afternoon who cling to Huskers broadcasts to keep their spirits up and give them courage to face the elements. And what do these folks do? They feed us. Pretty darned important in the grand scheme of things to most people who like to eat.

 

From the streets of Omaha to the dorm rooms of Lincoln to the windy Sand Hills to the sports bars in California and out to the farthest reaches of the Galaxy, Husker fans know that Husker Football will always be more than just a game. No, it is not the most important thing in life nor should it ever be. But be honest. It’s close, and in your heart you know it.

 

As the years go forward and the Big Red once again regularly sit near or at the top of national polls and take their rightful place in dethroning the Large Fourteen likes of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania State, Da Ohio State, and any other imposter who comes along, everyone will look back upon the Glorious Season of 2018 and know just how monumental this year was.

 

And the Universe will finally be able to smile once again.

Normally, my go-to is the "Cocaine is a hell of a drug" gif for these types of posts, but this goes beyond that.

Thank you U of N administration for putting the Universe back into balance. I shed a few tears when I read this.

I agree with everything he wrote. Life has been chaotic for me. Now that we are back on the rails, suddenly things started to realign this year. 

 

Also so I live in Colorado so puff puff give
