bluegargantuaHey,
I got a package from my mom with smaller packages inside here are the rules.
Small package today...
The Item:
OK, it's a stack of post-it notes. They come in a sleeve with the Nebraska Cornhuskers logo on it.
Post-its? It's like you're not even trying anymore, Mom.
Let's see what the envelope says...
The Message:
"Stick close to Jesus so He can 'stick' close to you!"
I would hope that if I had a faith in Jesus it would be stronger than post-it note adhesive. Also, I envision Jesus leaving passive-aggressive post-it notes on the fridge. "Dear Tom, I forgave thee seventy times seven, but this is the 491st time you've left the milk out." Sure, He could just turn spoiled milk into fresh, but you know it's all about the principle with this guy.
Um, yeah, so I never really follow football. I don't even care too much about the Cornhuskers until they reach a Bowl game. But I tend to have some interest in whatever game they take part in. True, they haven't been as good as when Tom Osborne was coaching them, but, y'know -- Go Big Red!
Fun fact -- if you want to get elected to congress in Nebraska just be an excellent football coach. Mr. Osborne represented the 3rd district for six years before going back to college athletics. He also has a highway named after him.
Fun fact #2 -- when the Huskers play at home, the University of Lincoln's Memorial Stadium is always packed. If the Stadium were a city on game day, it would be the 3rd largest in Nebraska.
In a moment of serendipity, I actually saw the Huskers in action last night -- well, I saw them on the highlight reel. Nebraska is moving from the Big 12 to the Big 10 and so they're playing a lot of long-term rivals for the last time. This week they played against Iowa State Cyclones -- a team we usually beat without breaking a sweat. But we lost to them last year and this year it was really close. Then the Cyclones went for a 2-point conversion that got picked off and the Husker's won it. The two-point conversion has a notorious history in Husker lore. We lost the national championship in the mid-80's because we botched a two-point conversion when we could've forced the game into overtime with an extra-point kick. So to blow someone else's chance to beat us on the same type of play is always a rush.
So yeah, Go Big Red!
Tom
