All of "my teams" won this weekend! Last night was Husker football and volleyball. They were playing at the same time. :( But it was ok because of picture in picture. It seemed like every time I looked at the volleyball game Lauren Cook was serving. After we lost the second set the girls must have gotten a good talking to because they dominated the third and fourth sets to win the game! the volleyball record is 9-1, 2-0. Their one loss was to Colorado State.
It was fun to watch the football game. Since Wyoming is right next door a lot of people from western Nebraska, and probably eastern too, were at the game. I looked it up on Google Maps the other day and all you had to do to get to Laramie was hop on I-80. On the new a couple days before the game they said they expected the crowd to be about half Husker fans. I think they were right! I saw an awful lot of red in the crowd. The football team won and are now 4-0!! Next week we start conference play and travel to Madison. I am worried. Wisconsin is ranked higher than we are (they are #7 and we are #8) and its the first game I have been worried about. We need to start play in the Big 10 with a win.
Today the Packers pulled out a win extending their record to 3-0!! I have to be honest and say even though we had the game on I didn't do a very good job of paying attention. As much as I hate to cheer for the Lions I am excited for them too. The only reason I cheer for them is because of my man Suh. When was the last time the Lions were even undefeated?? I think the commentators said it has been 31 years since the started their season 3-0. Hopefully next weekend is just as good.

Husker Game Day
Football season starts on Saturday. On my way home from work everyday I drive by a park where a bunch of little guys practice. They started practicing a couple weeks ago and it has made me really excited for Husker football to be here.
Last week marked the beginning of high school football. On my way home from work on Friday a woman called in to request a song. She requested "Boys of Fall" for her son. It was his birthday and he had a game in South Sioux City. Plattsmouth played in South Sioux last week. It was kinda cool to hear someone from my hometown on the radio even if good ole' P-town did get totally demolished. It was pretty sad. Apparently the word on the street is that none of the fall sports are going to have very successful seasons.
Back to the point of this post. Nebraska kicks of their first season in the Big 10 on Saturday and I GET TO GO TO THE GAME!!!! I am super excited (if you can't tell.) The only game I had a chance to go to last year I had already agreed to babysit for a couple going to the game and then my bff invited me :( Since I thought I might have more opportunity to work for them I didn't want to back out.
Anyway, my roommate/bff's grandma has season tickets and usually her uncle uses them. But his family always goes camping over labor day weekend and they make the reservations a year in advance. Since they couldn't go her grandma was going to sell the tickets. But since my roommate and I both have Saturday off we wanted to go.
I have been seeing a lot of these "inspiration boards" from polyvore.com so I decided to make one. Since the game is in the afternoon I don't know if I will be wearing a sweatshirt but I have one similar from last springs university collection. And the rose earrings that I almost never take out of my ears aren't glittery. And I don't have a pair of black flats (but I really want some.) You can be sure I will be in my red and white. I'm so PUMPED!!! Yeah!!

I'm hoping to get back into blogging. I haven't felt very inspired lately but I think I might have some interesting stories to tell.
