I think my friend’s Facebook status sums up Saturday’s Big 12 championship game…

We had a lot of fun, even though the last second of the game was the worst second of the game. And the stadium was super awesome!

Facebook has been buzzing with angry Nebraska fans after Texas was awarded an extra second which won them the game, 13-12.  But as my grandmother always says, we “can’t stay mad, gotta get glad” and the following announcement is having us all happy…

The Lincoln Journal Star reported today that Ndamukong Suh is a Heisman trophy finalist and invited to the Heisman presentation in New York.  The other finalists are…

Toby Gerhart, Stanford running back
Mark Ingram, Alabama running back
Tim Tebow, Florida quarterback
Colt McCoy, Texas quarterback

Go SUUUUUUHHHHH!!!!!

The Huskers defeated Florida Atlantic yesterday 49-3. Since my son left for college at UNL and had student tickets to the game, I missed him having his friends over for a football party watching the game on Pay-Per-View. I wish we could watch the Husker games online for free! At least we can listen to the Husker games free via the internet.

Without my son home to remind me, I almost forgot to post the Nebraska Cornhuskers 2009 Football Schedule!  So, here goes…

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?!
