Nebraska pulled off a victory in their first game of the season, winning over Western Michigan 47-24.  My son went to the game with his dad while I went to a Husker party (like my shoes?) to watch the game on per-pay-view. And my daughters listened online via KLIN.com.

The parties are going to start earlier next week, as the Huskers take on San Jose State at 11:30 am via pay-per-view. I upgraded my digital cable package to include Fox Sports Network last week (it was quite chaotic) – too bad they aren’t going to carry the game!

My reason for upgrading my cable was to watch the SDSU vs Iowa State game (they lost 44-17).  My brother is an offensive lineman for the Jacks, and will graduate in December.  Since South Dakota State University joined the Missouri Valley Football Conference, the Huskers are due to play SDSU in the season line-up next year. It would have been neat to see Nick play against the Huskers, but what attire would I wear then?!

So, we ventured to Boulder yesterday in the frickin’ cold weather to see Bill Callahan coach his last Husker game versus the Colorado Buffaloes.  What was up with the white pants? Red pants would have looked better with their white jerseys.  Anyway, at half-time, I thought maybe we had a chance at winning, but I obviously thought wrong. The best ABC poster was “Adios Bill Callahan” and Dr. Tom made it official today that he’s history.  More of our hard-earned tax dollars down the drain to pay him out of his contract early.  Food for thought from the day….
- Chick-Fil-A’s Chick-n-Minis make for excellent tailgate partying (so does Goldschlager and it warms you up).
- The stadium food stands must have made a killing selling hot chocolate at $4/cup to the freezing crowd. You can buy Swiss Miss packets 10/$1, and considering they probably buy in bulk at a discount, that’s one helluva a mark-up.
- They sold out of Frescheta’s Pizza before I got some.  But the All-Meat Stuffed Crust Pizza from Papa Murphy’s after the game was quite appetizing (as was the Rootbeer Schnapps).
