How bout them Huskers?

Makes you want to pull your hair our don’t they? I actually won the points pickem at work with my pick of 31-24 Michigan St. so I got some points there for the first time this year after coming in 4th a couple times. It’s all for bragging rights and there’s no money involved or anything but you don’t want to get skunked all year long and not get anything because people give you an awful lot of crap for being so bad at picking. As usual I was at work during the game. We were watching the game as much as we could but not long after the 3rd quarter after cussing it up for a good chunk of the first half I said screw it and stopped watching because I was so mad. I turned it on on the radio on the way home just long enough to hear them say the score was 27-3 and Armstrong was going out of the game hurt, in comes Fyfe at quarterback. Ugh… *click*. Here we go again, another embarrassing loss on national television just as we were starting to get into the conversation for national relevance for the first time in who knows how long. I drove the rest of the way home in silence. When I got there Jessica had already had the same idea as me and shut the game off and had gone to bed. I took my shower and petered around a bit and then decided to click the television on to see if they had finally let the clock run out to put us out of our misery. Wha wha wahhhhhttt? They were just showing the replay of a punt return for a touchdown and the score was 27-22, State by 5. What the hell happened? They went from gutless wonders to scoring 3 touchdowns and almost a 4th in the 4th quarter as soon as I turned the television off! Well they didn’t win the game but at least unlike other seasons they didn’t completely fold after they got kicked in the teeth and I guess that’s all I can really ask for. Well I guess I could have asked for a win…
