I can't really say I saw it coming, but my wife was hearing predictions
of a 50+ point blowout on East Campus all week, and she just kept
reminding people of the 'Cardiac Cats'.   

However, I did write this the other day:

Bo may have to take back the Black Shirts that he gave out on Monday.
I just heard part of his press conference, it sounds like had been
telling his players all week long that Northwestern was a better team
than people were giving them credit for, and they missed the message.

I thought it would take a near-perfect game for Northwestern to have
a chance, and they actually lost the turnover margin battle.  

I also thought the Cats would have to pick Martinez off to win.

But Northwestern won the ground game, and Nebraska is much more likely 
to lose when they don't win the ground game.

BTN is reporting that the 81 yard Ebert TD reception is the 2nd longest
in Cats history, what was #1?
