Those Huskers, Our Huskers...and Happy New Year!

He still loves the Scarlet and Cream

The one Husker football game I decide to watch this year, and we get handled!  Very disappointing.  Yes, we were playing in a bowl game and should be satisfied with that to a certain degree (look at teams like Tejas who were not in a bowl this year), but the Huskers manhandled the same Washington team they were pushed around by today just a few months ago.  If we could play a game without self-destructing with penalties, that would be a nice start.  Off to the Big 10 next year...hopefully we can fix some things before next season starts.

We're only a couple hours from 2011 here in Taiwan...Happy New Year!

Suh to Detroit

Most people who read this blog know that I don't really follow NFL football, but it brought a smile to my face yesterday when I heard that my once-favorite team, the Detroit Lions, drafted former NU defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh with their first round pick (second overall pick).  The visual:

Good on ya, Detriot! (intentionally misspelled)  Suh is a beast on the field...



...and a budding philanthropist off it.  Makes me think about the "golden days" for the Lions in the 1990s when this guy was carrying the ball for them.

Maybe it's time to start paying attention to NFL football again.  Nahh...
