Last Thursday night, the Husker faithful followed their team down to the Little Apple of Manhattan Kansas and invaded that glorified highschool stadium named after their fearless, and possibly senile coach Bill Snyder. To make it better, this was the showcase game on ESPN on the national stage. After doing some quick roaming around the world wide web, for some reason the Mildcat faithful were almost certain KState was poised to upset their neighbors to the north on the national scene, destroying the kickoff party of the Husker's farewell tour.
We all know by now how that went. T-Magic rushed for 4 touchdowns and 240 yards, and threw for another score. For a while there, I was wondering if the Huskers were attempting to score 71 points in honor of Bill Snyder's 71st birthday that was that night. I guess they failed in that department. But why bring up the past? I must admit, that the only reason this post was created was to show the world exactly what it looks like to bend your opponent over, and embarASS them...(SEE ABOVE) I know, how juvenile right?
I need to credit this picture to my good friend Adam who sent me the link, after he most likely found it one night browsing the free gay porn sites. Sorry Adam, couldn't resist...
Anyways, this weekend the Huskers prepare to battle the Tejas Longhorns in a matchup that most Husker fans have looked forward to with hate in their hearts since last year's 60:01 debacle. Or has it been since 2007 28-25 loss? Or the 2006 22-20 loss in the "snow game"? You get the point. The Huskers are hungry for this win, and it looks like this will be the Husker's last shot at a win against Texass for a long time as I do not see these two school wanting to work with each other any time soon. If the Huskers can point to one team who has broken their hearts repeatedly, it has to be the longwhorens. Couple that with the reputation Texas has of being arrogant, controlling, and manipulative, no wonder there has been so much anticipation surrounding this game. This weeks coming blog will submerse itself into the upcoming matchup, but like any good writer, I need to leave you waiting for more. Come back Thursday for a report on the whole "Redout Around the World" promotion, recent heartbreaks at the hands of the leader of the Texas Conference, and possibly a group prayer in hopes it will help this years Huskers prevent an ultimate letdown against their archnemisis. A Husker loss would be the absolute disappointment. And a writer could not write a better plot than that. A Husker team who year after year has you on the verge of believing that they are "back" to only kick you in the mouth with an unexpected loss (See Iowa State 2009). A loss like this against a Texas team paddling like hell to keep from being a .500 team would surely send people jumping from rooftops in downtown Lincoln. Here's to hoping that won't happen. Dear God, please don't let that happen...
Come back Thursday for more.
PS: Please don't let the Huskers lose to Texas...
...Please...
