Football and 8th Grade Basketball

Just a few thoughts on this Thursday before Thanksgiving:

As far as the Huskers go, it was nice for the team to finally have a blowout game as the team has played close games for two months straight.  It was only Minnesota but it was nice to see that blowout nonetheless.

As far as this week goes, I am still concerned about Iowa somewhat, in the sense that Iowa could make Nebraska their bowl game.  Iowa won't be going to a bowl game so this will be their bowl game and they are going to empty out their playbook

It's going to be awfully tough for me to watch the title game if it's Notre Dame vs. the Southeast Conference like what might happen.  It will be just as tough to watch if it's another all SEC matchup.

Regarding some of Saturday's games, I don't think Klein of Kansas State has fully recovered from his concussion.  Either he's got one of those or he's got another injury.  Also, KSU looked like Nebraska against the 80s Miami Hurricanes...a step too slow.

Regarding Oregon they've got much less to be ashamed about - Stanford is a really good team.  Oregon will be right back in the hunt if they win out and certain other things happen.

It took a while for my heart to stop pounding from the Texans game.  The team definitely showed heart coming back from 14 down against a game Jacksonville team.  I hope the team can maintain the intensity at Detroit.

I went to watch an 8th grade basketball game last night in Iowa where I am, which turned out to be much more fun to watch than the Monday Night Football game.  Got to see a family member of mine play.  Her girls 8th grade team is really fun to watch.

Until next time....
