A woman’s view of football

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!!!
