[Husker] Happy New Years and a couple of thoughts

Happy New Year to Ya'll.  I have noticed that there is a crawler at the 
bottom of the screen during the ESPN bowl games that
show the matchups of upcoming bowl games and a blurb about the teams and 
what percentage of people believe one team will
beat the other.  I thought it was nice of them to point out we had gone 
to something like 38 out of the last 40 year (or whatever it is) instead 
of a stat that is slanted more negatively against Nebraska.  Also 58% of 
the fans (perhaps Nebraska fans have more time on their hands) believe 
Nebraska is going to win.
One other thought. Is it just me, or do the broadcasts seem to take as 
many swipes at Nebraska as they can?  Last Friday, I was
watching the Motor City Bowl with Florida Central with Howard 
Schnellenberger against Central Michigan.  ESPN had to show the Nebraska 
failed 2 point conversion against Miami  during the game.  Have you ever 
seen Miami playing a game and  see  a flashback of Cory Schleshinger 
scoring the winning touchdown against Miami...who was at home.  Or Steve 
Spurrier looking like a Jackass eating razor blades as his team lost 62 
to 24 (more if Matt Turman didn't take a knee at the end).  What about 
Nebraska beating a
Howard Schnellenberger Oklahoma's team like a red headed step child.  Oh 
well, Go Big Red
