Fw: [Husker] So anybody watching the NU/OU game?

Mon Nov 3 08:13:57 CST 2008

Wow Scott, you are a true "Husker Faithful" using the definition of how many times will I watch a total blowout! Most of us willingly watch games the Huskers WON many times, but to watch a game we were embarassed in multiple times takes a truely faithful fan with a strong stomach! 

GBR!
