[Husker] gameness and the Gator Bowl

[jon johnston]

Wait... wait... wait..... you guys are implying that expectations for  
2010 have something to do with reality?

When the hell has that ever happened?????

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHa.

Okay.... I'm sorry. For New Year's I had a house full of teen-agers.  
While very interesting, it's clear I was infected by some kind of  
sarcasm virus..... even more so than usual. I keep trying to get rid  
of it, but haven't found anything that'll do it.

Train husker fans.... oh, that's good. :)

Anyone think we're trainable?
