Husker Spring Game Today

I can’t believe that Bowl Season was already 3 1/2 months ago but I am starting to get the football itch again. Luckily today is the Husker spring game, which will help fill my football cravings for now. But it’s going to be a long time to wait for the 2010 season to start this fall. According to Big Red Network, the White team is predicted to win. Can’t wait to see how the team is shaping up!

An Olympic Gold Medalist visits an Upper East Side Middle School

Check out the article I wrote for the Our Town newspaper about Wagner Middle School’s visit from speed skater Apolo Ohno! It was pretty exciting to see the Japanese-American athlete playing games with the sixth graders.

Apolo Ohno, the most decorated American Winter Olympian ever.

Olympic Pictograms

I’m honestly not a huge fan of the Olympics. I think that they are an important part of global culture, but I just personally do not enjoy watching them, particularly the winter olympics. I just don’t really find the sports that appealing. I mean, who plays curling anyway?

I did fine this video by the New York Times to be really interesting though. It documents the history of the famous Olympic pictograms rating the different images over the years. I had never really paid that much attention to the pictograms before but the history and design of them really is fascinating.

One second it all it takes to prevent a total BCS upset. One kickoff not going out of bounds could change history.

My only question: With a game that close, does Texas really deserve to be facing Alabama in the National Championship?

Big XII Championship Tonight!

Alright Huskers, it’s time to get down to business. Tonight’s game against No. 3 Texas could mean a lot for the Huskers if they win. It would be the first time since 2002 that we would have BCS berth and maybe even be playing in the Fiesta Bowl. Ndomukong Suh could seriously be looking at a Heisman. Bo Pelini would prove that he’s the man to bring the Huskers back to the top.

But that’s only if we win…

Huskers’ Fate Will Be Determined Tomorrow

This has been an interesting season for the Nebraska Huskers football team. Starting the season ranked #24. There was a lot of pressure on Bo Pelini and the team to perform. The close loss to Virginia Tech in September was the first test to the capabilities of the team, but the back-to-back losses to Texas Tech and Iowa State that really turned the tide for the team. After the loss to Texas Tech, the team dropped out of the top 25. And after the loss to Iowa State, clinching the Big XII North Division title was in jeopardy. The team has pulled itself together since then and even beat our rival from the south, Oklahoma. But it still all comes down to this Saturday’s game against Kansas State. To win the Big XII North and to play what will most likely be Texas in the Big XII Championship, Nebraska has to play to win. But it’s not just about the North title or the Championship game. It’s about proving that Nebraska can be a winning team again, in the style of the ’90s. Lets hope for Husker fans’ sake, that they pull it off.
