post-game

i woke up this morning to remember that nebraska lost to iowa state because of eight turnovers, to find that texas a&m beat texas tech by 22 points and to realize that i had slept for 11 hours (oops).
let's forget about a&m and my outrageous sleep patterns for a moment, and i will remember that at 10 a.m. i will be sitting in the football offices, trying to help recruit a senior to join our athletic program. there will be 12 sad coaches, six different colors of red furniture and the five hopeful championship trophies from years past.
what do all these numbers add up to? well, life.
our spirits will be lifted with the promise of a new friendship(or a new head coach) and we will inevitably be let down with the imperfection of an old friend (or a carry-over offensive coordinator).
there will be days like iowa state and ones like missouri. there will be glimmers of hope like a 300-pound defensive tackle and agonizing unpredictability like the performance of a certain quarterback.
we can pout and yell and "give-up" as much as we want to, but at the end of the day, we're still alive, and in this case, we're still husker fans. so today, i will suck it up and help my huskers be a better team, just like everyday i will try to improve myself and my life.

but seriously, we better beat baylor.
