Dear Fellow Husker Fans,
I said it in a few discussions. I am sitting here hurting like I haven't felt since V-Tech this year. Somehow, some way the opposition caught a break and face it, UT took advantage and made the kick. But, before I get into the previous and some other stuff, I want to talk about the game in general.
First, the Blackshirts did as advertised and more. Suh was a beast in the middle. Heck, I think Colt McCoy and Suh probably exchanged cell phone numbers on one of the many c…

Dear Fellow Husker fans,
The leftover turkey is sliced, diced and ready to made into sandwiches for work from now until Christmas. The yams are gone, as is the pie and fudge. Oh yeah, and another Husker win was the highlight of a week off of epic proportions. Before I get to our game (and the title) I need to give a bit of a talk about my Thanksgiving week vacation.
I had the best of the 3 BIg "F's". You guys know what it is. Hey, back there, get your mind out of the gutter, this is a family s…

Dear Fellow Husker Fans,
Good morning and happy Monday to everybody. I know, I'm not supposed to be so cheerful, but before I get going on the football stuff I need to add a personal note. I have all this week off for vacation. Yes, yours truly is going to be sitting by the Tv watching football all day Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and parts of Saturday until I have to go to work Saturday night. But, enough of the bragging. Before I forget, I wish to wish all you guys, my loyal readers, fellow H…

Dear Fellow Husker Fans,
When you woke up Sunday morning and read your local paper what did you see? Blackshirt meltdown in Lawrence. Nope try again. How about, NU offense grows up, gives the D a break and finally wins one. Yes. But before we get into the 4th quarter, let's take a look at the first 3 quarters.
In the first half, things were looking great against KU. The offense went down the field and scored a TD. Yeah, there was the luck of Helu in the end zone on that fumble recovery, but I…

Dear Fellow Husker fans,
The spread this past weekend was 5 points. How do I know this? Cause I took a quick glance at the spread after picking NU over OU on my yahoo pick'em game (I wont go into more detail on my gaming, just note beyond the game in Lincoln, this weekend stunk). I told you guys in a few discussions you just have to believe and if you don';t fully believe, give your tickets to somebody who does. I told you top to bottom that pretty much NU and OU were equal, great defenses, sha…

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…

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…

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. On the flip side though, there are bad perfect storms. The past 12 days have been a perfect storm on the bad side in BugahaWest, not only in writing and sports, but also on the personal side. 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…

Dear Fellow Husker fans,
I am sitting here on this fine Wednesday evening listening to the end of the 3rd quarter and into the 4th quarter of Thursday's game (thanks in part to another Husker fan site that puts the radio broadcasts up on archives). 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…

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…

Dear Fellow Husker fans,
Saturday reiterated for many of us in Husker Nation as to why there is truly no place like Nebraska. There is beauty all around us in God's great creation, but Saturday in Lincoln in the sporting world sense gave us a glimpse of heaven on field turf. This past Saturday was culmination of many things that we all hold true to our hearts, and hell, the game wasn't half bad either. So let's start to rock no roll with a bit of a lead-up and then get to some meat and potatoes…

Dear Fellow fans of the Nebraska Red,
I took a extra day and basically stayed away because to be honest I didn't know what to say about this last game. My original gut feeling when the game ended was you have to be kidding and in all my years of being a Nebraska fan, I don't think a loss ever stung so bad, not even the FSU game in the 94 Orange Bowl. I really don't want to talk about any other game of the past week, this will be strictly from the heart and strictly on the NU game.
Let's take a…

Dear Fellow Husker fans,
Just as a starter, I guess you can say we did what had to be done in the first two games of the year, come out of them at 2-0. However, when one looks at the fine line there are things that are not as well as they should be, but before that, let's hit the lead-off.
Lead-off: Which was the better game, ND-Michigan or USC-OSU. I am telling you this right now from purely a college football fans perspective, I want Saturdays off sooner than later. I know I work the nights,…

Dear Fellow Husker fans,
My friends, my fellow followers of the red, what we witnessed Saturday was a culmination of hard work, sweat, and teamwork shown at its proverbial best. Yes, there are things to work on, but before I go into that and a bit more about Saturday, I just have a feeling, a vibe, that says you want to know. You my readers and fellow Huskerspotters want to know, my thought, feelings, and opinion on the fight after the Boise St/Oregon game. So, I'll lead with that, talk about s…

Dear Fellow Husker fans,
Is the excitement to a boiling level yet? I swear the family here is wanting the season to start more than I do only for the fact that I will calm down a bit and get into a regular groove in terms of work, football, and blogging. This is a time of year where as fans I think the scrimmages/practices only slightly feel a void. Its like I like to say about NFL preseason, it's only pre-season, the only thing that matters is that injury that knocks out the starter for the fi…

Dear Fellow Husker fans,
I know it has been a very long time since I last posted a blog and there is a good reason, summer break. I told you all about my previous perfect storm, well. this perfect storm combines change in local on my job, change of shift, and my kids' summer break. I no longer make the 90 minute drive every day to work, it's now down to 45 minutes. I also was shifted to graves and believe me when I say I have spent most of the summer getting used to graves. And the kids were on…

Dear Fellow fans of the Husker red,
As I sit here finishing up a cup of coffee and doing some research for this edition of my blog I have found that I want to talk about a few things and only one or two things are actually Husker related. Talk about a slow down, but that's ok cause we are at 102 days and counting until kick off. So that has to be good news right. Heck there is even something for me personally that is almost as big, we're fast approaching the 1 year anniversary of my blog postin…

Dear Fellow Husker Fans,
Sorry its been awhile since I last posted, but once again, I found myself working on a honeydew list (you married gents out there know what that is) and plus the fact things slowed down to a utter crawl when it comes to Husker football. Well, its time to speed back up and while the draft is over as is spring ball, I feel I can talk about it and plenty of other things, so hang on, the next few paragraphs are going to be fun.
First off, the spring game. With everything b…

Dear Fellow Husker fans,
It has been a interesting couple of weeks since I last posted on here. You have the Robert Mavre situation (which I will talk about later), saying adios to Patrick Witt (more later as well), Barry Turner, Kent Pavelka sighting on our site (thank you Kent for your response, it gave the entire family a cheer), and other schools starting spring ball. However, before I get into the football talk, I need to start with basketball and baseball.
First off, in baseball, spring…

Dear Fellow Husker fans,
You know there comes a time about once a year that a perfect storm happens ad you just know either A. things are going to be awesome or B. you're in for a run of hard work, little sleep, and little of anything else especially time. Well, the past couple of weeks I was in the midst of B and well, now that it is over I have time again and so without further delay, let's talk.
I wanted to have little fun this week so during a bit of downtime at work a wrote up a list of 2…
