About one million people are expected at Times Square on New Year’s Eve. It’s going to resemble a Husker Hounds store.
One million people. I doubt we see a crowd this size again until Scott Frost’s first appearance at a Big Red Today Breakfast.
The Omaha Lancers play on New Year’s Eve. This is apparently an attempt to set a record for most beer consumed in a three-hour period.
There are no college bowl games on New Year’s Eve. That’s to preserve the sanctity of a holiday reserved for drinking too much and vomiting in the street.
Purdue defeated Arizona in the Foster Farms Bowl. If you picked Purdue to lead the Big Ten’s bowl resurgence, there’s a good chance that you are lying.
It’s probably the biggest Husker football game in recent years. But enough about Central Florida vs. Auburn in Monday’s Peach Bowl.
Security has been beefed up ahead of the Peach Bowl. That’s due to concern that Nebraska fans will tear down the goal posts after Frost is introduced.
The Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl features the two things Nebraskans love most: Frost and Chick-fil-A, only not in that order.
Tanner Lee declared for the NFL draft. His decision was made easier when he returned to his UNL dorm and found that it’d been imploded.
Nebraska already has two in-state recruits for 2019: York’s Garrett Snodgrass and Scottsbluff’s Garrett Nelson. This is in keeping with the goal of signing every Nebraska high school player named “Garrett.”
“We want the best ‘Garrett’ at every position.”
Michigan signed a lineman from Germany. A translator accompanied Jim Harbaugh to the in-home visit so the recruit’s parents could understand what Harbaugh was talking about. Now maybe the parents can explain to the rest of us what Harbaugh is talking about.
At their early signing period press conferences, Kirk Ferentz’s opening statement was 1,362 words and PJ Fleck’s lasted 48 minutes. Suddenly, I miss Bo Pelini’s “Yeah, what?” opening statement.
Minnesota got a commitment from an Australian lineman. It’s strange to think that Minnesota has more players from Australia than Nebraska has from Iowa Western.
NFL referees are spending the holidays with their dearest loved ones: the New England Patriots.
The Saints defeated the Falcons in a game featuring a butt fumble and a butt pick. I hurried to switch the channel before seeing something called a “butt punt.”
DePaul basketball has a walk-on freshman named Pantelis Xidias. Everybody’s rooting for him to make it except the DePaul play-by-play guy.
An asteroid missed earth by 6.4 million miles Dec. 16. For some reason, a Lonzo Ball 3-point attempt came to mind.
Ball gave dad LaVar a 2018 Rolls Royce for Christmas. There are three front-seat airbags counting the guy driving it.
Darryl Strawberry told Dr. Oz he used to have sex between innings. Here is one athlete it would’ve been interesting to mike up for a game.
And finally: Nashville has been awarded an MLS franchise. A little different. Instead of kicking a ball into a net, you get points for line dancing.
