This time of year some of my friends tell me, "Boilerdowd, you should come out with me and my friend MLB Playoffs..." But everytime I'm about to spend the night in another's arms, your whisper draws me back in.
The passion of a second-string quarterback, a bunch of REAL student athletes and a first-year coach beating the best team in the land makes me yearn for you.
Sometimes, especially after my weekend trips to West Lafayette, I think things are never going to change...you know, like our relationship is stuck in a rut. But then, a perennial middle-of-the-pack team reminds me that anything can change if the right parts are in place.
Your intricacies draw me in...the way you wear your hair or the fact that South Florida and Boston College are both in the top-10 cause me to lose my focus during the work day. Sure, parts of your personality make me angry...
But, what makes you special helps me look past your flaws and deeper into your soul.
I like the fact that Indianapolis is the home to the World-Champ, 5-0 Colts...But know that my heart belongs to you, College Football.

That was touching...
I actually watched the game Saturday night at a sports bar with two Nebraska fans. The bartenders kept changing the channels so none of us got to see our games completely. Someone kept changing the Purdue game over to the ND game. All of the sudden the place was full of ND fans, to which a guy sitting down a few seats from me stated, "Maybe Notre Dame should play Utah. Then we can figure out which one actually sucks less."
4 years ago I never thought I would see a Nebraska fan more frustrated than myself after a game.
As a Nebraska fan, Saturday was certainly frustrating, to say the least. Sometimes I find myself retreating to the past to take solace in days gone by...
I'll tell you, Nebraska fans cannot be too pleased right now. Unlike much of the nation, you guys remember well what it's like to be great.
I for one, don't think you've got the right coach at the helm...but that's just one guy's opinion.
This is an outstanding post.
great post!
Thanks you both, sirs.
