You could say that's a pretty arrogant view to hold but it's really not my fault. Eighty-five percent of my lifespan thus far was lived never knowing a loss to either team. Even the most generous and rational people--preachers, scientists, doctors, bookies--would have had a hard time taking either the Tigers or Jayhawks seriously with a history such as that.
Of course, this could just be because Nebraska isn't really an apt comparison in either case. The fact that the Cornhuskers are neither the next Kansas nor the next Missouri could mean that many people outside of Nebraska are indeed viewing last year as a particularly painful aberration. A freak accident. Or it could mean that they're taking a much more patient wait and see approach with our first time head coach. Fools.
It doesn't really matter as neither supposition really supports my agenda here which is to seek out any source of inspiration or motivation with spring football, and any meaningful (at least by comparison) news three weeks away, and blow it totally out of proportion.
As far as you and I are concerned we just got dissed. Got it? Don't just brush that chip of your shoulder. Carry it around until August. It will do you good. If you do, a bountiful reward awaits. I promise.
Warren Buffett already has the Huskers penciled in for eight wins and when was the last time he was wrong about anything? Never, that's when. In an economy that looks worse on paper than the 2007 Blackshirts, during an era where everyone overestimates everything, The Oracle is still making dollars and sense.
Wow. There's really nothing going on is there?
