Live from BugahaWest

Dear Fellow Husker Fans,

Whew, what a game this past weekend. I was quite excited for this one. I stayed up after work considering the really early start for AZ. (I love DST sometimes). The 9 AM start (for AZ) I thought might have some affect on our Big Red, but for the first half, things were looking great. The D set the tone early with the punt block for TD and offensively, we were doing everything I was hoping for, running the ball well and mixing some good passing by Cody Green. Things were… Continue

Dear Fellow Husker fans,

I said it last week that in all of football there is no such thing as a trap game. On any given Saturday, something like this past weekend could happen and you know what, it is gonna hurt big time. I didn't get to watch the game but I did listen to it via satellite radio. It was quite interesting because as I listened to the game I was rebuilding a fence piece in our backyard. I used that frustration to good work, nothing like driving a few three inch nails through a fe… Continue

Dear Fellow Husker fans,

In life, like in football there is a phenomenon called the perfect storm. The perfect storm is a deal where everything that can go right does for a certain amount of time.

Let's go back a few days to Sunday, Oct. 11th. I'm thinking it would be a great day as usual for a Sunday. Go… Continue

Dear Fellow Husker fans,

Before I go into the happenings of that mighty 4th quarter, let me let you in on a little secret.

I had to work Thursday night and when I left for work, NU was down by 9 with about half of the third quarter to go. When I got to work that night, I ha… Continue

Dear Fellow Fans of the Husker Red,

This past weekend had to be the toughest weekend so far this year. Every year it seems like that, but its only cause the fact that our beloved Big Red had an off week. After the beaut that was the LA-LA game, my thought was how could we have a bye week now. Yeah, it would be fine in terms of getting guys healthy, but the momentum of that win would diminish a bit over the course of 11 days. The one of many hopes right now is that the team brings the A+ game to… Continue
