Callahan's West Coast Turns Out To Be French Toast Instead Of Texas Toast

The Huskers showed us that they still have the ability to have a game won and then blow it in the final quarter. A skill most of us thought was lost over the past three weeks after getting kicked square in the nuts by USC, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M.

Now with Texas giving us the golden toe to the crown jewels, Nebraska has now lost 4 games in a row for the first time since 1961.

I can't decide what my favorite part of the game was though. There of course was the awkward exchange between Jack Arute(awesome hair)and Joba Chamberlain. Then there was the focusing on how well our defense was doing, handling the below average Texas offense through three quarters.

But I think I am going to have to take the traditionalistic approach and say once again the best part is always listening to how the networks cover Nebraska football. You almost get the feeling that the sports world is content now that the mighty Huskers have fallen.

Growing up I always used to wonder why my dad would listen to his headphones while he watched Nebraska on tv, but now it is apparent. Maybe it's because we take our Big Red quite seriously or maybe it's because television broadcasters are complete jackasses,
but I just do not understand the overall negativity against us.

Call it a conspiracy theory, but being who we are, we just aren't a glamor team. I am not sure if that is why whenever a questionable call goes Nebraska's way, there is always a comment about why we should or shouldn't have gotten a flag. Maybe it's that I am biased, so let's just take an easy example...for instance the 1993 Orange Bowl.

Many fans would argue that we were flat-out robbed of giving Tom Osborne his first national title by some questionable calls in that game(Corey Dixon's punt return, Florida State's fumble on the goal-line, etc...). The rest of the nation sees it this way though:



We might as well just hire Craig Bohl back and get it over with.
