The Olympics, The NBA and preseason football

With the Olympics nearly drawing to a close and football starting up, just a few thoughts to chew on.

First of all, Nebraska's uniforms.  As a University of Nebraska alumnus, this would probably take an entire blog to go over.  Suffice to say, they are awful and not what the Nebraska uniforms should be.  We are not Texas Tech so let's not stoop to that level.

On a brighter note, have to love Jordan Larson representing the Huskers well at the Olympics on the United States women's volleyball team.  I'm not a Longhorn fan but have to give credit to Destinee Hooker as well, she is a tremendous athlete.  It's so weird to see some of these girls on the same team together considering a lot competed for national titles against each other just a few short years ago.

Also, thank heavens that the USA has taken over the medal lead from China seemingly for good.  The track and field competition has made a big difference as well as the gold medals in women's soccer and women's water polo.

As far as the NBA is concerned...wow, how much do you think David Stern rigged that Dwight Howard deal that sent him to the Lakers?  The Lakers were able to keep him and only had to unload one of Andrew Bynum or Pao Gasol...not both.  Pretty obvious to me Stern BADLY wants a Lakers/Heat NBA Finals...the league is now the Big 2 and Little 28.

It's also good to see preseason football on my TV, but I have to say Jon Gruden continues to be terrible in the broadcast booth...and the thought of Chris Berman broadcasting a game on opening weekend makes me want to throw up in my mouth.  On the good side, we'll get to see more of Ed Hochuli showing off his guns and giving dissertations of penalties which is a good thing.

Next time I'm sure I'll get into the Nebraska uniforms more.
