Was it just me or did anyone else find themselves struggling to respond to Saturday's absolute whitewashing of Kansas State?
Normally if you roll up 73 points on a team, and especially if it's a Josh Freeman led K-State team, it's a time for unrepentant joy, but watching things unfold on Saturday I almost felt like I was getting something I didn't deserve. I enjoyed it but at a significantly lower level than what I would've expected had you told me Nebraska would hang 73 on the Wildcats.
Like everyone else, I had quietly resigned myself to waiting for the merciful end of the 2007 season, where all the questions we couldn't answer during the season would be answered after the season--or at least made irrelevant--by the firing of Bill Callahan.
That should probably still happen, in fact the new questions that arose from such an out of sorts performance only fanned the flames that scorch Bill's seat. When asked where this team had been all year, Callahan didn't have an answer. No surprise there, but I don't really have any either.
The only thing I was certain of coming out of Saturday was that I was happy for the seniors. On their day they were finally able to simply play football.
Win or lose you can't ask for much more than that. (But it's good to win.)

So what now? Do we beat sCUm and go bowling? Bob Davies thought that KSU was better than CU (per LJS blog). Dangit, now i've gotten my hopes up.
I think KSU is probably better than CU as well, but this next game ain't at home.
In my heart of hearts I believe that it will not be the Nebraska Cornhuskers who beat Colorado two weeks hence, but THE SYSTEM.
In fact, I blame THE SYSTEM for many of the woes over the past nine weeks.
You see, THE SYSTEM giveth and THE SYSTEM taketh away. No one is responsible, it is simply the nature of THE SYSTEM.
"Tackle Stephen McGee, SYSTEM."
"I'm sorry, Bill. I'm afraid I can't do that."
