Back in the Saddle


PYB is back from vacation, just in time to read all the overhype for Nebraska's football season. The media is jerking off this team as if they're just a break or two away from a national title. Local outlets seem to forget that NU last year had a bad offensive line, terrible QB, and no WRs. It's so bad we refuse to post the grabass "WR/personality" article the OWH ran yesterday. Embarrassing. But just a few things to help get back in the swing:

-More lip service from Niles Paul. This time he means it. Too bad's he's slow and is not a very good playmaker. Otherwise, he'd have a chance to be a college superstar.

-No idea why NU would move its biggest playmaker at CB to safety. Hopefully, Bo has a plan. We'll give him some leeway, given his track record. But that kind of ability can't be taught---see Terrell Farley.

-Tiger Woods is irrelevant. It doesn't get any better than that. Oh, golf outlets keep shoving his latest trials down our throats, but the fact that CBS hasn't shown him live in a tournament in more than two months says it all. Hitting fairways at a 35% clip won't win any tournament, much less majors. Stick to what you're good at, Tiger, banging whores and being a prick.

-We'll check in with more from Husker camp when there's something meaningful to talk about. By the way, Zac Lee is starting. Shawn Watson made sure to do enough to stunt Cody Green's growth last year to make sure of that, and Taylor Martinez hasn't played a game. Myopic NU fans need to quit yammering on this topic--one nice (or average) spring game does not make a starting QB.....just ask Joe Dailey.

-Can anyone say 'two pop cans'?

-Finally, it's good to see Jason Jenkins moving on to do something besides bashing bottles over people's heads at the bar. Here he is, playing the murdered/disappeared Bison Dele/Brian Williams.
