This season in Husker football has been exciting the whole time. Each week we show a new strength and a new weakness. We have yet to play a complete game. But there sure hasn’t been a dull moment. After imploading and getting whooped by Wisconsin a couple weeks ago, we showed some guts this past weekend against Ohio State. OSU is a program that has lots of problems right now. Scandals have crept in and caused their head coach to resign, their elite QB to leave early for the NFL and a handful of other key dweebs to miss most of the season. On the other hand they are still OSU and have the deepest pool of talent in the B1G.

Coming into the game I was confident we could pull off the win. OSU might be hurting on offense but their defense is one of the best in the nation. It was time for the Huskers to lay it out there and nail one…but for 2.5 quarters it was looking bleak. Then the game plan started to come together, the defense started making plays, and the offense just stuck with it until they broke the talented OSU defense. Enough of my rambling, please watch the video. It’s beautiful.

P.S. I still owe the blog some summer recap pics. I’ve been 1 part busy and 1 part lazy, which means this gets over looked. Sorry be patient

I am working on a blog post that will cover my summer goings on. The post will be full of pictographs and venn diagrams. Hoping to get it posted in the next couple days.

Go Big Red!

This is a really interesting discussion. I think both guys make some solid points and both fail fully to understand where each other is coming from. If you have about 20 or so min check it out. Here are my rough ideas of it:

• I think Stewart does tend to cop out with the “I’m just a comedian” shtick. On the other hand he is a jester, if he ever does offer up truth it is through comedy.
• I think Stewart is right in that mainstream media doesn’t have an activist liberal agenda. I also agree with Wallace that Fox isn’t some wing or puppet of the GOP.
• News media serves two masters: 1) Inform viewers, 2) sell advertising. I don’t know of any spot TV, Internet, or Radio where those two are separated. Even public news needs to give props to big name contributors. I think the bias all media has is to entice it’s audience to come to their source with sensational and amped up features…and also make sure they see product. News media is a business and their ultimate goal is to make money through goods and services they offer.
• Fox and MSNBC zero in on their markets and give their people what will keep them watching. “Fair and Balanced” is a marketing statement to promote brand loyalty, not so much about actually being a truthful and objective news source.
• My main thought when it comes to companies and corporations that our relationship with them has and forever will be transactional. They have goods, we want those goods, they want our money. That’s not evil it just is what it is.  The only silly thing I think is to have the idea that any corporation, including those involved in the news media, is invested further into our relationship beyond the transaction. Why would they need to be? It would be really weird and creepy if they were.

Well I think I Andy Rooney’d this one and rambled a little far away. Happy first day of Summer!!!
