[Husker] Husker injuries...

[Al Shanmugam]

Did you hear what happened after the game?  One of the Huskers fumbled a bar of soap in the shower and several Huskers injured themselves as they slipped and fell while trying to pick it up.  They'll be out of action indefinitely as they recover from their injuries.

Of course this didn't really happen, but anything is possible with our Larry, Moe, and Curly offensive unit.  And that's "offensive" as in disgusting, revolting, repugnant...

On a more serious note, I feel really bad for the team and for the coaches.  Clearly, a crisis of confidence arose after the first couple of fumbles and things just spiraled out of control with each egregious turnover.  As some of the coaches indicated after the game, it was actually pretty surprising that they had a chance to win until almost the bloody end.

Let's hope they practice holding on to the rock this week.  If the team psychologist is still around, they should get him to work overtime until the team's mental errors get fixed.  If he's not around, Coach Osborne should go find him on the double and bring him back into the department for some serious work.  With the Big 12 North championship still a possibility, there is a lot to play for.

GO BIG RED!!!
