[Husker] Feeding my (sports) biases

[David Elfering]

I really thought the Cats had it wrapped up, went to do something and came
back to the closing seconds wondering ... ummm.. what the heck?

Slumps are funny things. I recall when the Huskers has a slew of fumbles
and there's no discernible reason why.

On the plus side they're still 5-1 and after a two week hiatus the big red
machine will likely be rusty :)

I was chatting with a Northwestern fan who has season tickets with parking
passes and told him if the Huskers win the street value will be over $500
per seat/pass.
