I have good news, and I have bad news.
The good news - the inevitable conversations about Husker football will have a happy and hopeful spin to them this year while eating with your family this Thanksgiving.
The bad news - these conversations will turn into inane debates over politics making you wish the Huskers where actually even worse than they are so the conversation started and stopped with Husker football.
Ways to avoid these debates over why you are not married/do not have kids/insert life event that has or hasn’t happened/politics/religion:
- Bring up old family stories and have them reminisce about the good ole days.
- Bring the desserts to the dinner and threaten to leave with them if the conversation deviates.
- Start barking. No seriously, start barking when someone starts treading on thin ice. Extremely effective.
- Tell everyone you have cancer and say “PSYCHE!” at the end of the day.
- Drink early and drink often

Elon Musk Unveils Tesla’s Cybertruck, With A Polarizing Wedge Shape
Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk showed off his company’s all-electric “Cybertruck” on Thursday, touting its versatility and toughness. But the truck’s unique design — it follows one angle from the front bumper to the top of the windshield, for instance — threw some Tesla fans for a loop.
My Take: This is the most ugly thing created with four wheels. No one and I mean no one is going to buy this thing. Tesla has been on such a roll and this is going to be their first miss. Also, the broken glass behind Elon as he is trying to give a serious presentation is a top ever cringe moment in history.
