Happy Halloween - There's Nothing Scary Here

by Jon Johnston on Oct 31, 2007 5:01 PM CDT in Corn Flakes

Happy Halloween! I generally stand outside my house yelling at children. The only ones that get candy are the ones that aren't too terrified to come and get it. I find it leaves more for me.

Oh, and every year, I tend to give out a couple potatoes and some onions. I can't imagine what some parent somewhere thinks when their kid dumps out his bag and out rolls an onion. You know they'll never remember where they got it! (insert maniacal laughter)

Nebraska plays Missouri tonight in volleyball at 7:00 pm. The match can be seen on NETV in the state of Nebraska. Huskers.com will provide free video, and CSTV's All-Access will show the game on a PPV basis for $6.95.

Is Huskers.com providing free video to show that they are a kinder, gentler athletic department? I don't know, but I like the idea. The more we support our non-revenue sports, the better off the football program will be. Not only that but it should help your ego as we should demolish Mizzou this evening.

There's been plenty of speculation about who might be Nebraska's next head coach. The name that keeps sticking is Bo Pelini, and to be blunt, there are more good coaches than Pelini who might be a good fit at Nebraska.

I'd like to encourage y'all to use the diaries to start this discussion, as 96operator has already started something on Bo Pelini. I would love to see someone do a write up on the possibility of Wake Forest's Jim Grobe.

This week's blogpoll has been released. I don't even get a mention. Why? Apparently I'm neither dull nor psychotic. I find that rather disappointing in a way.

What about Kansas? How much hope do we have for this weekend? Last week, Kirk Herbstreit gave us a zero percent chance against Texas, while Corso gave us one percent. Do you have any hope for this game?

How about on Turner

I will try to do one on him later tonight. Wont do Grobe as I dont like him to be the next coach. Or Paul Johnson either. I really only have two that I like and that is Turner and Bo. Wish we could get both back here.

yeah

Turner is good.

I'd like to get the diaries going though. I know it's been tough building a community, but it's around time to do that.

Reason is.... the diaries open it up more to all y'all. More people are starting to respond here, and I like that. I like the fact that it's starting to become more about all of us than just about you guys responding to something that I post.

More voices.

I wanted to write a piece on Turner Gill, but I think it would be more interesting coming from someone else. like you. :)

Hell, make a list, the good, the bad.

Go Big Red!

Re Kansas

There is remarkable freedom in having nothing to lose.
KU has not yet tasted desperation. They will find it.....cloying...
Bwahahahahaha!
Happy Halloween.

It seemed like a good idea at the time.
