[Husker] Oh, well

[Don Rietsch]

You have all the luck David.  My team, the Lions, have a bye week so I won't
be able to see them blunder their way to another close defeat.  Speaking of
the Lions, Suh has been a non factor this year.  He has been neutered by the
NFL holding rules and by the reputation of being too mean that he was
accused of during his rookie season.  He is probably the third best
O-lineman on the Lions roster.  I remain a huge Suh fan and I wish they
would let him play his game. He remains a terrific person in that he is
sharing his wealth with the poor HS's in Detroit with his donations of
equipment and school supplies all of which he does under the radar.

I agree. Coach Osborne was class all the way. The mercy meter in D1 football
was removed years ago and the people who could read it were rare.

Well the good news is that at least I still have the Chiefs game to look
forward to.... snap... this is like the song Henry the 8th :)
