Should I or Shouldn't I?
This weekend the Nebraska Cornchokers and the Baylor Care Bears go head to head. Neither team seems to be able to get the lights on the scoreboard to work in their column. Can't quite figure that electrical problem out. Previously, I lamented about getting emotionally involved with my beleaguered Cornhuskers. It seems when I get fired up about an upcoming game, one that I think in my mind should be winnable, my 'faithful' mate steps outside the marriage and disappoints me devastatingly. When they traveled to Columbia, and the weather was less than hospitable (much like a Tiger fan), my hopes were not on a solid foundation. I still begged and pleaded for my beloved team to pull it out just for me, and much to my surprise, they did! Our matrimony was on the mend. I felt the love flowing from Lincoln. I had renewed faith that my team was going to be faithful for a long time. Boy did that change in a hurry! I actually took precious time, and spent hard earned money to go visit my wonderful team the following week in Lincoln. Apparently our relationship didn't mean that much. They played as if they were all hungover and in slow motion. They let Texas Tech use and abuse them. How could they after all we've been through?! Afterwards, they seemed so sincere in their apology for lack of performance and asked those of us in Husker nation to forgive. So I dug down deep, swallowed a huge 1000mg pride pill, and said 'yes' I forgive. Now let's get this train back on its tracks and moving North and South! Then that little tramp, aka Iowa State came to town, and my Huskers, in their weakened condition, caved in under the pressure, and hurt my feelings again. So my hesitation this week I feel is well founded. Do I waste more time, watching my emotionally scarred team from afar (on TV), or do I play hard to get, find something more worthwhile to do (work), and make them prove to me that they truly love me, and are going to bring home flowers (a win)? Oh what the hell! Cut my finger and Nebraska red flows! Of course I'm going to watch the game. All I've got to say is, this is the game to slap some people around and treat them with some disrespect! Teams in the lower half of a conference actually expect that. It's time to get off the pot and 'man up'! The whole state is willing and expecting mature, responsible, monogamous football (not exactly sure what that means). Please don't disappoint us this weekend.
