My goodness I hope Nebraska loses. It is so much fun when people are in a panic over this team! I can't wait until the NU hoops team is successful and all these so called "Sker" fans suddenly become NU basketball fans. Because we all know, every person at the Qwest Center have been LIFE-LONG Nebraska volleyball fans! What a joke!
If Nebraska loses, not only will people be in a funk for the rest of the day, but died-in-red Husker fans will really be anxious for Callahan to start winning.
As Jim Rose said last night on Sportsnightly, "there's a big difference between 9-and-5 and 10-and-4."
ha!
Sean...do you know anything more about Time Warner cable carrying the NFL Network in Nebraksa for this week? The OWH reported that they were going to but it certainly has not appeared on my cable system and the representative from TWC I talked with this morning had no clue about it. I only ask because some Big XII schools are on tap to play and you can only see those bowl games via the NFL Network. Thanks.
I placed (yet) another call today to Time Warner Cable's spokesperson about this matter. When I hear back from her, I will post something.
Kind of shows Ted for what he really is. That stupid post has been sitting there all day and he is too proud or ignorant to take it down.
I'm beginning to see what you all mean. That Ted Blog goes miles out of its way to insult some of its favorite targets. And even in a case like this when he was wrong, he used it as another opportunity to be insulting.
Pure 100% catty venom gets old.
Then Ted uses his "apology" to blast John again. Ted and the handful of toadies who agree with him (like the racist Obbop) are a sorry,sad and pathetic lot. Their immature caterwauling undermines any legitimate or insightful criticism they might actually have. Although insightful is usually not the word I would use to describe their postings
He tried to insult John by calling it "the one time John was right". How about the millionth time Ted was wrong (or is that too conservative)
Am I reading this right?
KETV isn't sending anyone to Dallas? I guess the Big Red Zone is taking the rest of the year off.
Too bad. I wanted to hear Schuetz yell "Do we have the goddamn tape"?
Can you say
LESS COMPLETE COVERAGE
only on channel 7
