in Nebraska, football is bigger than God



9:30 AM Saturday November 21st.

After another loss against Colorado, Bill Calahan, the head coach of the University of Nebraska, was fired.

In the car on the way to Omaha, I waas literally husted to silence by my mother as the announcment was made on the radio. In a state this small, this is a very big deal. Because despite what Nebraska's conservative Christian population (including my father) would say, there is no president; god is dead.

Long live coach Tom Osbourne - interim UNL Athletic director.

That's what they wanted all along anyway.

Dumbasses.
