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.

A jury found Nebraska football player Andy Christensen not guilty yesterday of first degree sexual assault.  The offensive lineman had been accused of reaching under the skirt of a 23-year-old woman at a Lincoln bar in early March and fondling her.  He was suspended from the team following the March incident.  Last month, Christensen pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and criminal mischief in connection with the sexual-assault case.  He’ll likely be sentenced on those misdemeanor charges in November.  The 22-year-old Christensen is a graduate of Bennington High School.  He started three games at left guard last season before suffering a season-ending knee injury.

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).
