Nebraska Wrestling
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 all the children (minors and otherwise, including myself) in line. But as we sat there and talked, the conversation amusingly turned to Nebraska wrestling. And when I say Nebraska wrestling, I mean the serious sport of wrestling and not at all that travesty of a show they put on television with all its drugs and plots and heroes and villains. Nebraska wrestling, like many of the sports here in Nebraska, is taken very seriously, and is held in pretty high regard.
In any case, Donna was saying that she was wondering if we should get Samuel into Nebraska wrestling instead of Nebraska football, as enough of our friends and family have gone insane over that. I replied that despite the lesser popularity of serious Nebraska wrestling, it nevertheless has some serious die-hard fans that would rival the football Huskerheads. Donna then points out that Nebraska wrestling beats out Nebraska anything else because wrestling teaches you the art of grappling. And the Nebraska wrestling athletes are extremely good at that.
We ended up laughing our hearts out, and I decided I should pay more attention to Nebraska wrestling.
