Whoo hoo, today is one of the biggest days for Nebraska football.  I’m a total Husker fan, which most of the people around here are.  Unlike most other places around the nation, Nebraska doesn’t have any professional sports teams to root for, so we take our college football very serious.  And, in the past few years, we haven’t had a lot to cheer about.  But that all changed last year when Bo Pelini took over as head coach and former head coach Tom Osborne took over as the school’s Athletic director.

Tom Osborne was one of the last great coaches for Nebraska (football).  After he retired, things kind of went downhill.  It wasn’t until Bill Calahan took over as head coach that our boys saw their worst games ever.  Calahan was a former professional football coach and decided to completely throw the old playbook out the window and created his own thing.  That thing sucked so bad that he and the athletic director at that time were both asked to leave.  Nobody in the state of Nebraska had anything nice to say about either one of them.

But, times have changed and Nebraska is making a huge comeback.  Out of 12 games, we only lost 3.  That’s not bad compared to what we’d done in the past 5 years.  And, tonight we go up against the #3 team in the nation, the Texas Longhorns.  It’s the Big 12 Championship, and our chance to once again make it to a bowl game.  Even if we lose, we still have a chance to get to a bowl game, but not one of the more well-known games.  I just want to see our boys be the big team they were in the glory days.  I miss watching other teams run in fear because the Nebraska Black Shirts were coming onto the field.  Our Black Shirts are back, and in a big way.  Now, I just hope our offense plays as well as they did last week against Colorado.

But, no matter what the end result, I’ll be thrilled that I got to watch my boys play one more time.  I’ve been a fan of Nebraska football since I was a little kid, and I’ll be a fan till I die.  So, let’s get this party started and Go Big Red!!!!!
