So, as we have all heard, N. Suh received a ticket this weekend after swerving to miss a "cat or a small dog" and then totaled three other vehicles. You, would have thought he would have had a better excuse, but i guess the oldest one in the book is still around for a reason right?? He then blew a .035 BAC. Now, before I get everyone's panties in a bunch, let me say this. Yes, I know he is of legal age to drink. Yes, I know he was not over the legal limit to be driving. Yes, I know with a man of his size, .035 probably didn't impair him at all. Yes, I know the journal star said he handled himself very respectfully. But we have to ask ourselves. Is Bo sticking to his guns on this one by not allowing this to affect Suh's playing time? I mean, how many people has he kicked off the team for incidents not involving the law? Why should Suh be treated any different? Because he is an amazing player? Because he is probably the only reason many fans have not thrown in the towel this year? Because Bo is afraid of the backlash that Husker Nation would unleash upon him if he announced Suh had to sit, even for a quarter? Come on people, I'm not saying that Suh even deserves a punishment but Pelini has stated all along that he runs a tight ship, and Suh DID violate team rules. I have personally spoke with student athletes and people very close with the football team. I will keep those sources confidential, and you can choose to believe what you want, but the football player ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DRINK AND DRIVE. Even if they are still under the legal limit. This was a violation of team conduct and if you disagree, and believe they should be allowed to drink and drive....then I will end the conversation right there, because it's obvious it would not be an intelligent one. Anyways, like I said, I don't know if this even warrants a severe punishment, but where is the cut off? Does anyone remember why Cody Glenn or Quintin Castille were removed from the team? Anyone? Well, we know this much, the police weren't involved with them...If Bo is going to be a harsh disciplinarian, then he atleast needs to be consistent. I guess Zero tolerance doesn't mean much where you're a star player... Just my $0.02.
On to other news. Oklahoma comes to town this week. This one it too difficult to predict. The vegas line is at 6 points with Nebraska as the underdog at this time. Can we even score 6 points? Take away a blocked punt for a touchdown against a pathetic Baylor team, that game is 13-10 at the end. Lets not get started on the lass at ISU. We would be shocked if Oklahoma had the same result against those team. Nebraska and ISU are still not close in talent. Our Defense is good, but Oklahoma will still score. Our Offense is still our weak point and will struggle to find the endzone. But hey, maybe we'll get a few field goals? Then again, this game has a lot of emotion, and while that only affects a slim slim slim part of the game, sometimes it's enough. My prediction based as of now is 35-10 OU. I may adjust it later this week, but right now we just dont have the offense to be competitive.
How about a little fun? Here ya go.

One foggy night, a Nebraska fan and an Oklahoma fan were driving the opposite
directions on a road near Lincoln. While crossing a narrow bridge, they hit
each other head-on, mangling both cars.
The Oklahoma fan manages to climb out of his car and survey the damage. He
looks at his twisted car and says, "Man, I'm lucky to be alive!"
Likewise, the Cornhusker fan gets out of his car uninjured, he too feeling
fortunate to have survived.
The Oklahoma fan walks over to the Cornhusker fan and says, "Hey, man, I
think this is a sign that we should put away our petty differences and live
as friends instead of being rivals."
The Cornhusker fan thinks for a moment and says, "You know, you're absolutely
right! We should be friends. In fact, I'm going to see if something else
survived the wreck."
The Cornhusker fan then pops open his trunk and removes a full, undamaged
bottle of Jack Daniel's. He says to the Sooner fan, "I think this is another
sign - we should toast to our newfound friendship." The Sooner fan agrees and
grabs the bottle. After sucking down half of the bottle, the Sooner fan hands
it back to the Cornhusker fan and says, "Your turn!"
The Cornhusker fan calmly twists the cap back on the bottle, throws the rest
of the bottle over the bridge into the river and says, "Nah, I think I'll
just wait for the cops to show up."
