University of Nebraska Football
Trying to steer my thoughts away from the impending future that frightens me so, I decided to reflect of my recently frequent outbursts with regards to my family’s obviously crazy obsession with Nebraska football, and in particular, University of Nebraska football. Like I said before, I too am a fan of the team and their games. They’re pretty darn near legendary in terms of collegiate football. But the way that the University of Nebraska football affects the people around it is quite surprising as well. As my past rants have caught up to me now, I realize that in so many ways, we live vicariously through the legacy of University of Nebraska football.
Now, hold up for a minute. Before you say anything, I would like to put in the disclaimer that University of Nebraska football is not in any way treated like a religious cult here (although I’m certain by the way certain sports fans act, it would seem that way). But I am willing to say that University of Nebraska football has brought so much pride to us that it has essentially become part of who we are as Nebraskans, as Huskers. We obsess over it once in a while because it makes us feel alive and proud.
And although I disapprove of its more unhealthy expressions, I’m willing to say that the University of Nebraska football team can be a pretty healthy aspiration for our young boys today.
