Corn Flakes Is Ready For that College Football Goodness

  The 'In the Bleachers 2008 Predictions' podcast is now available, featuring yours truly and a bunch of other well-known bloggers. It's long, 2.5 hours long. It's not as bad as four hours of Lou Holtz by a long-shot. I completely forget (or didn't want to remember) that he was Mark May's counterpart.I couldn't do four hours of Lou. I hope you didn't either or I'd fear for your safety/sanity/sense of style.

To combat Lou, you need Husker Haiku.

  Last night in the ITB forum I came up with a single line to describe this year's Big 12 season:

So many quarterbacks, so little defense.

We'll see how well it stands up by the end of the season. Hopefully the season will turn out more like this: 

So many quarterbacks, then they were Blackshirts.


  I don't think anyone on the ITB podcast mentioned Oklahoma State. I kept wondering why until I realized that the media thinks Mike Gundy is a clown .

  Football starts this evening - both Baylor and Iowa State are playing. Both worth watching as they are Nebraska opponents this season..... I just said that, didn't I..... damn them both to hell for playing on the first night of college football when all I want is some of that goodness in me.

  Of things that are not good is Andy Christensen. The more you hear about it, the dumber it gets.

  ABC Regional Coverage Maps are out. As is your TV Coverage for Week One.

  KFOR's Lincoln Live will feature an interview with yours truly tomorrow at 12:30 pm.

  A reminder that we will be doing game day threads here on CN on Saturday evening. What that basically means is we'll be here commenting on the game, so you're more than welcome to join us. Remember, sobriety is not an issue since it's assumed you're not driving So, it's a date, say... oh, around 5:30 PM CST Saturday night. BYOB ya louts.

I wont...

be joining you for the first game as I have a wedding in Lincoln that day. Luckily it is at 3 in the afternoon. Would have to go no matter what as it is my stepson. I know, I know, I told him that he had nine other months to choose from but what the hell kids know everything. So I am thinking that the wedding gets over at 4 go to the reception for an hour or so and then try to sneak away to the stadium and get a ticket. Yeah right. I am just happy that the reception is at the cornhusker hotel and they will have a tv tuned to the game. Next week though you will have to put up with me so get ready.

oh

I noticed over on a Western Michigan board that a bunch of their alumni are meeting at the Cornhusker, so you’ll have plenty of foreigners around.

Yeah

some of them were in the room next to us and saw a bunch more in the lobby. Great people, extremely nice folks. Glad they were UM fans because I would hate to thinks the weasles had any fans worth liking. lol. We talked to some of the WMU fans and they really praised NU and the fans. Like I said a good group of people that we met.
