Each year at this time, WeirdHarold.com sends a reporter to cover the Big Red where it lives and breathes: Memorial Stadium, Lincoln, Nebraska. Last weekend, game day was shame day. Hear that eerie silence in the stands? That’s 80,000 people wondering what else the state of Nebraska could be good at that might not involve so many transportation issues for would-be spectators. Volleyball? Wrestling? Dogfighting? Whittling?
Those in the know say that Bo’s headset is now tuned to Monster.com and CareerBuilder.com where he receives breaking news about coaching positions available at the community college level. Meanwhile on the field, the mighty Big Red can’t carry the ball for five yards against Iowa State’s second string, even when half of the Cyclones were playing with the flu. This may be the first time in the team’s history that Nebraska scored more turnovers than points.
We will probably have to go through a few more coaches before deciding to turn Memorial Stadium into something useful like a cyclotron, or a rodeo arena. Probably the latter given Nebraska’s penchant for selecting just the right image to reinforce its cowboy and covered wagon heritage in the national psyche. Hee haw. Keep them doggies rollin’.

C’mon J. Random…get in the game…Osborne Field is just down the road from the State Capitol…turn it into a highly productive wind farm.
Didn’t hit me until the Virginia Tech game but “Buddy” Lee throws worse than Scott Frost…if that’s possible.
