As happy as I am about the tradition and culture of sports (collegiate football in particular) here in Nebraska, I can’t help but feel lost whenever I get dragged into yet another convoluted conversation with my boys about thing like the Nebraska bowl. I simply call it the Nebraska bowl despite the vast […]
I don’t quite understand what it is with a Nebraska fight song – we actually have quite a few Nebraska fight songs, but any Nebraska fight song is just about enough to get anyone’s spirits rising. I personally think that there’s nothing too special about a Nebraska fight song, not really, but I […]
Like I mentioned before, Nebraska has this love affair with sports that is hard to describe, and this is especially true when we talk about collegiate sports, and, in particular, University of Nebraska athletics. Let’s just say that when it comes to collegiate sports, the University of Nebraska athletics lineup has the benefit […]
Okay, remember when I said that I woke up in a bad mood? And that Donna and Mom theorized that it may have something to do with the possibility of something annoying happening? Well on top of the rather loud argument that my mother had with an Aunt, the Nebraska vs Oklahoma […]
I’m drinking beer with my boys, and reflecting (as the conversation once again steers toward the subject of football) that knowledge of the Nebraska football roster is just as important as knowing when the games are and who the team is going up against.

And, as you may all well know, I am a fan […]
Those of you who are reading this and are surprised, don’t be. I never said that I was done talking about Nebraska sports, and that’s probably because my brothers (blood related or otherwise) cannot stop themselves from talking about the Nebraska Cornhuskers. My case in point would be this morning, when I […]
I was hoping that I would be able to let go of the topic of Nebraska and sports and the ensuing arguments, and my sister just had to bring up the subject of Nebraska rivals while we were having a snack with Sammy. And she had to do it in front of my brothers […]
I realized that lately, I’ve been talking a lot about things that pertain or are related to Nebraska sports. Then again, I really shouldn’t be so surprised. Nebraska sports seem to be an incredibly important part of the culture and pride of the state of Nebraska. Especially among the men in our […]
After I got Sammy to bed – he really is an angel once you get him to stop vibrating with excitement – I went downstairs and had some coffee with Donna. We hadn’t gotten around to talking all that much, what with her running a business from home and me trying to keep […]
