[Husker] Casey Martinez Talks to the LA Times (UNCLASSIFIED)

[David Strong]

You lost me with this one, but it won't be the first time I couldn't see the
forest because the Pope got in the way.

But on the positive side...it's game day!  We have a game tonight.  While I
have a low opinion of bowl games in general (there isn't one regular season
game I would take a loss in so I could trade it for a win in any bowl game),
it's still a Husker game, the last one for a while, and I expect we'll all
be parked in front of the TV to enjoy it.  I will.
