Go Pack Go!

If you’re a Husker fan, you’re welcome aboard the Pack bandwagon. We have:

- An ex-Husker playing a key role at RB (Brandon Jackson)
- A Turner Gill product as the breakout starting RB (James Starks)
- Two defensive studs who were college walk-ons (Clay Matthews and Tramon Williams)
- A dominant defense patched together by the NFL equivalent of walk-ons — late-round picks and waiver wire pickups (Sam Shields, Erik Walden, Howard Green, Charlie Peprah, Desmond Bishop)
- An explosive offense made up much the same way (Starks, John Kuhn, Donald Driver, Andrew Quarless)

What’s not to love?

Urlacher

got tackled by a quarterback, and because of it, Chicago fails to score.

maybe that should just read “Chicago fails”

I hate the Steelers, but I'm not much of a fan of a certain Jet coach either.

But the Jets have Slauson and I’d rather play them. So go Jets!

Go Suns, Packers, Jays, and Huskers!

And go Shawn Watson and Barney Cotton! Seriously, leave Lincoln. Now.
