after taking last weekend off for a surf fishing trip, i seem to have lost my season record. my recollection is i was 8 games over .500 after 125 or so plays. that equates to enough winnings for the season to take my sweetie out for barbeque and a movie on saturday night, but she'd probably have to buy her own popcorn. i'm just going to call it even and start a new slate today, and hopefully close the season out with a bang. one play for today:
neb +1-: by now, everyone is familiar with the rested home dog with revenge angle, but this play goes beyond that. i had always read about football games in lincoln, but, never having been there for a game, couldn't appreciate the significance of why everyone made such a big deal about it. i still haven't been to a game in lincoln, but i did go to last year's rose bowl for my canes' big win. but miami's play was not what impressed me the most at that game. it was the husker fans. game attendence was somewhere over 100,000, and i exaggerate not when i tell you that 90,000+ were husker fans decked out full colors. the bowl was nearly completely engulfed in a sea of red. as i walked around the pregame parties, i relized that probably 50,000+ of the husker loyalists had DRIVEN from nebraska to pasadena. i've been to a lot of venues and have never seen that kind of fan support.
nebraska is 63-2 in lincoln the last 65, and i have been unable to find the last time they lost two home games in one year. likewise, i'm having similiar difficulty finding when the last time nebraska played as a home dog. add to this factor the lingering insult of last year's 62 point pasting in boulder, as well as brown's questionabe status, and i wouldn't want to be a buffalo today.
