We got herpes

January 31, 2007 at 8:05pm By: D.M.B. Posted in D.M.B. Sports Report

“A wrestler from Nebraska has been identified as the possible source of a skin herpes outbreak that prompted Minnesota high school officials to impose an eight-day suspension of wrestling competitions and contact practices.”

The rest of the story can be seen here.

The wrestler in question is from Valentine.

Minnesota HS wrestling has put a moratorium on competition for a week so they can check everybody and quell the outbreak that has effected 24 wrestlers in Minnesota.

If you can’t beat em...give them herpes.  A motto to live by folks.

Did anybody see that coming?

Florida trounces Ohio St. 41-14 in the BCS national title game.

Did this game remind anybody of the 96 national title game with Nebraska-Florida?

For some stupid reason Florida was hyped as the better team in that game and then Nebraska came out and pounded the Gators.

Cotton Mouth

Nebraska fans were left parched after an uninspired 2nd half in the Cotton Bowl.  Nebraska dropped to the Auburn Tigers 17-14.

Year #3 of head coach Bill Callahan is in the books, let’s take a look at his tenure here:

Year #1: 5-6 No bowl game
Year #2: 8-4 Alamo Bowl Victory over #20 Michigan 32-28
Year #3: 9-5 North Division Title, Big 12 Runners Up, Cotton Bowl loss to #10 Auburn 17-14

So I ask you, improvement from year #2 to year #3?  No improvement?
