Spoiler alert: Darth is Luke's father! Gotta offer credit where it is due here. Very much inline with my takeaways from the source material. 2 Quote Link to comment

All you need to have done is see a Star Wars movie. Larry Kasdan wrote the first Star Wars movie. He's a Michigan man and he took the course multiple times. Luke Skywalker is the good character. Darth Vader is the evil character. Spoiler alert: Darth is Luke's father! And on and on. Kasdan tapped into many ancient myths and themes in Star Wars. Here in Nebraska we have our Tunnel Walk. First the music. Perfect modern martial music. The armored warriors leave their cave of safety and march onto the field of battle while their Husker Nation wildly cheers them. Admit it. Just reading those words gets you fired up. The Nebraska Tunnel Walk is one of the many rituals that makes college football so great. Other rituals and mythologic characters. Herbie Husker. Little Red. (For the kids) The school song. Release of the balloons. The fair virgin cheerleaders Celebrating before and after the game with other tribe members around campfires and now called tailgating. The above points out how important ritual is to success of Big Red. It is also why it is a categorical imperative that there be a ritual cleansing of Husker Nation's soul. We must forever rid Husker Nation of the bad memory of failed coaches and AD's of the past starting with Steve P. from NP. Sean E. from Wisconsin would be the last one disposed of in our ritual. Frank Solich, of course, would be spared. He's firing started the downward spiral where we have now hit bottom. Mark my words, until this ritual is completed we will continue to suffer. George Lucas wrote the first Star Wars movie. 1 Quote Link to comment
