The Qwest is Red

December 15, 2007 at 9:48pm By: D.M.B. Posted in D.M.B. Sports Report

Nebraska invaded the home of the Creighton Bluejays for a day and what a day it was.

Nebraska gets the win over the #16 ranked Oregon Ducks 88-79 in OT.

I really like this team.  I think Doc has this thing going in the right direction.

Two things on my mind

December 14, 2007 at 12:25am By: D.M.B. Posted in D.M.B. Sports Report

I have always hated when towns or cities claim native sons and they either were born there but immediately moved away or only lived there for a short period of time.  It is never more apparent when we talk about Andy Roddick.  In an article titled Simply Red: Roddick coming to Omaha. 

“As Andy Roddick comes home to Omaha Friday, he sets his sights on stopping Roger Federer — and cheering on the Huskers.”

Comes home?  COMES HOME?!?!?!  He lived her for no more than two years.  How is this coming home?  I was born in Sioux City, Iowa and lived there for about the same amount of time as Andy lived in Omaha…does that mean every time I go back to Sioux City, IA I say to myself, “ahhh…I’m home.”  Absolutely not.  My home is Omaha, Nebraska. 

People around here are really desperate for famous people around Nebraska, IMO, that’s pushing it.

Number two…
Does anybody care about this Mitchell Report on steroids in baseball?  Honestly?

Bo knows Nebraska

Bo Pelini is the head football coach at Nebraska…again.

In the end, this was my choice from Day 1.  I am surprised though because I thought Tom would play it safe and pick Turner Gill.  I am glad that Tom did “step outside the box” if it were just a little bit outside. 

Discuss.
