Ok, so I’m not your typical female when it comes to watching football.  I do have a favorite team, which I’m watching right now.  I love the Nebraska Cornhuskers, as I’m from Nebraska.  I grew up watching this team play, and have many interesting memories of my family members, male and female, screaming that the television during these games.

This is head coach, Bo Pelini’s first year in this position, and he’s doing a great job.  The last head coach couldn’t have cared less whether our team won or not.  He had come from a pro team and tried to turn our little college team into a major league thing.  It didn’t work, and he blamed the players.  He sucked.  This year, however, our boys are in an actual Bowl game.  Not one of those made up games, but they made it to the Gator Bowl, against Clemson.  It’s turning out to be a hell of a game.

I love watching college football.  It’s a blast.  These kids play football for the love of the game.  I don’t watch pro ball.  It’s more about the love of money than the love of the game.  I know there are a lot of people out there who won’t like me saying that, but it’s true.  When someone won’t play unless their agent can get them another million dollars per year, there is no love for the game.

I do have to admit that this is probably one of the best match ups I’ve seen this year.  Clemson is giving Nebraska a serious workout.  The Huskers have just now taken over the lead, for the first time during this whole game.  It’s 23-21, with 1:22 left in the 3rd quarter.  That means, there is still a hell of a lot of game left to go and still no clear cut winner.  Gotta love a game that is as closely matched as this one.

Ok, I’m done talking about football from a woman’s POV.  I’ll post an update at the end of the game.  It’s still anyone’s game.

UPDATE:  Nebraska wins, 26-21.  Whoo Hooooo!!!

OMG, I can’t believe it’s a whole new year already.  Funny thing is that it doesn’t feel any different than the old one.  LOL.  Ok, that was bad, but what the heck.  I swear if I had to hear one more person tell me “see you next year” today, I was gonna smack someone.  LOL.  I hate that.  It gets so old after awhile, and yet i hear it every bloody year.

I have to admit, my kid came up with an original one tonight.  She came out and said, “Mom, I have a serious sleep deprevation problem.  I haven’t slept since 2008.”  At least it was different.  Had to give her credit on that one.  she’s kind of a smartass, don’t know where she gets it from.  LOL

So, I’ve seen a lot of people posting their goals for the new year all over the net.  My goal is to make through another year without hurting someone.  Not really, I just don’t get all freaked out on setting goals.  Especially ones that last for an entire year.  I do have some goals in mind for this year, but I’ll just try and take them one day at a time.  I’m revamping the format of The Prompt Writer.  I just hope I can keep it up on a regular basis.  I’ve seen so many people that post on their blogs each and every day, sometimes several times a day.  There is nothing wrong with that, it’s just that I have a life outside my computer, so I don’t post as often as I should.

Plus, there’s the fact that I have 5 blogs that I maintain on a regular basis, so it’s hard to keep them all up to date all the time.  On top of that, I write for several other people, and those are paying jobs, so they take presidence over everything else.  Well, everything except my family.  They always come first.  2 teenagers and a hubby of 18 years can really put a crunch on one’s blogging time.  LOL  But that’s ok, I wouldn’t trade any of them for the world.

Well, I’m off to bed.  I’ve rung in the New Year, posted on most of my blogs, and managed to help a friend with some of his things.  I think it’s been a rather productive evening.  Besides, I can’t get any work done during the daylight if I don’t get to bed.  and I have a lot of plans for the first day of this new year.  Not that I’ll actually get anything done, but it sure sounded good.  LOL

Night all and Happy New Year.
