Something happened today, something BAD. Before anything else I would like to explain something very, very important: to the die-hard Big 12 football fans, the Nebraska Oklahoma thing is something that must not be mentioned, especially if you’re a fence-sitter. Because with these people, it’s either one or the other. And if [...]
Let me just say that my assertion of people’s obsession with Nebraska Cornhuskers football is ridiculous stands ever so firmly up to this day. I mean, like I said before – I’m husker fan myself, and I appreciate that they bring so much pride to our state. The fact that they’re part of [...]
Remember how I said that it’s utterly ridiculous that the bulk of men in my life are football nuts? Well, this just takes the cake.
One of my distant cousins’ kids, a ten-year old named Cole, had announced to his parents that he will begin his extensive training so that by the time he hits his [...]
So my brothers (both in blood and in spirit) were all freaking out about the upcoming Nebraska football schedule, and they’re sucking my poor, adorable nephew – I don’t really want the boy to be related to them if they insist on acting like fools – Sammy into the whole football fever thing. [...]
In an effort to forget about the Nebraska DMV, I bugged one of my male friends, Zeke, over the phone.

When someone says “Nebraska volleyball” the top of mind thought would be the Nebraska Cornhuskers Volleyball team. Today, Lincoln’s University of Nebraska volleyball team has established itself as one of the most influential and powerful teams in the history of collegiate volleyball. It’s interesting to note, however, that it apparently almost never [...]
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln is actually the very first University of Nebraska – some even call it the “original University of Nebraska” – before the University of Nebraska came to be the name of one of the two public university systems in the state. Of course, what this means is that among all [...]
Much like any other sport in Nebraska, when someone says “Nebraska Baseball” the top of mind would be the baseball team of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Of course, although that team had distinguished itself by turning up some exceptional players and generating some impressive collegiate records, there are other Nebraska Baseball teams, programs [...]
When somebody says “Nebraska Football” the state of mind immediately turns toward thoughts of the Cornhuskers, which would be one of the most powerful college football teams in the history of non-professional American football. It’s quite possible that Nebraska football is one of the most major pastimes that the Nebraskans engage in when it’s [...]
