GO BIG RED!

It's time to get this party started. I can't believe it is finally here. Tomorrow, will mark the beginning of the Bo Pelini era. We (Husker fans) have been waiting for this day since the end of the 2003 college football season.

It is hard for me to keep my expectations down, but I guess it is only natural as I bleed Husker red. Realistically, I believe we will see 6 or 7 wins and a bowl game. Add a bowl game win and we could see 7 or 8 wins. I would think that would be a "successful" season in my book. Kirk Herbstreit, one of the most respected ESPN analysts, is bullish on the Huskers this year. He said he would not be surprised to she Nebraska finish the season with 9 wins. I am all for it, but just don't see it, as the Big 12 is just too deep this year. He also had mentioned the Huskers in several categories of his annual Herbie Awards column on ESPN.com.

I am so excited to listen to the game tomorrow. As much as I would like to see the game on TV, I always enjoy listening to the games on the radio broadcast over the Internet. The guys that call the game pump so much energy into there coverages. I love it.

Everyone get their balloons ready to cover the sky when we score first. Lets get this party started!

Ahhh....The Good Ole Days

I was looking through my 1974 yearbook this week and it brought back so many great memories. Just seeing the hairstyles and clothing, it took me back to when I remember when gas was 35 cents/gallon, movies were $1, and a loaf of bread was 50 cents.

Who knew then my bride-to-be, would be the girl above. Look how beautiful she is. She is still beautiful to this day and she doesn't look like she has aged a bit.

Hopefully this post will inspire others to find their yearbooks, dust them off, and remember the "good ole days." If you have trouble finding your yearbooks, I found mine at Yearbook Yourself.

Wow, What an Opening!

I am sitting here watching the opening ceremonies of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and I am flat out awed. They have done such a fabulous job with the artistic portion of the ceremony. The costumes are gorgeous and to have more than 2000 of them made for all the people participating is another feat that is amazing. The guys with the lime green suits that lit up were pretty cool. I also liked the Tai Chi guys that were in all white. They held such tight straight lines without any kind of markers.

I just wanted to express my enjoyment of the opening ceremonies this year. I think they were very well done. I think any host country is going to struggle to top this one for quite a while.
