What I'm Thankful For

Once again it's that time of year again (I swear it's getting here quicker and quicker every year) when we play the scum of North America better known as the Rich Preppie kids from the town that inspired the Jon-Benet Ramsey horror. What a picturesque setting if you ask me. Purple mountain majesties, and gang rapes in the valleys, my oh my what a place.

Back to the point at hand, It's going to be senior day on Friday for what is arguaby the worst class for Nebraska in the past 40 years. Some of these kids experienced the 7-7 season, J. Lo's fuckups, The DC shuffle, Pelini Chants, a losing record after having lost at home to Colorado ughh, and who can forget Vanilla Thunder . . . There has been so much in the last few years, the ups and the downs have nearly given me an early ulcer, Thanks Terrance Nunn, and le kevin smith. And I'm sure most people would soon forget the past 4 or 5 years and dismiss it as the dark years of Nebraska football. I for one am thankful for the past 5 years, and let me tell you why. With Nebraska on and over the cusp of being in the Big 12 Title game, I'm no longer taking winning for granted. I'm so happy just to get to watch Nebraska play one more game. And these past 2 years will be easily some of my favorite teams to have watched. Yes they have major flaws, namely cosgrove, but these kids just haven't given up and play hard week in week out. I can't remember having so much suspense week in week out for the past 2 years that when and if we become dominant again I will miss these cardiac games where the outcome hinges on nearly every play. Thanks for the memories. Having said this I still want a blowout against Colorado. Srew You Dan Hawkins.

Well done Graham.

Just like to add a couple more (besides the usual friends and family):

College Football for making the transition from summer to winter tolerable
Zach Taylor for saving NU Football from absolute destruction
Steve Pederson for having foresight
Doc Sadler (i think)
Chuck Amato's tits
George W. Bush for tanking all Republicans in '06
