[Husker] why?

[Michael Petersen]

Dear Scumbag,

What? I believe that a sandwich board and banner may permissible but a big 
huge sign is excessively redundant. Seriously, this is one sanctimonious 
quota sucker that think's ye are way off base on this one. Also, how dare 
you end your post with an actual football related paragraph. A big huge 
betterer more fitting finish would have made reference to Britney's head 
shaving.

Mike
