the end is near....my dream is dying

1994. 1995. 1997. no one has the right to even claim to be a husker football fan if they don't know what that is. i'm sure the rest of you would agree. right now zack and i are watching a supposed "classic husker moment" on ketv. no, not the orange or fiesta bowl. not the miracle in missouri. no, it is the 1997 thanksgiving tradition. colorado. gotta tell ya, not seeing why this one is classic, but i'll take it.

it reminded me of that one dream. 72nd and dodge. can you imagine what it must have been like to be in college during the mid-90's. i'm insanely jealous of any husker fan who enrolled in college in the fall of 1994. freshman year: orange bowl. sophomore year: fiesta bowl. junior year: no championship, but they were jinxed by being pre-season #1. senior year: miracle in missouri followed by the orange bowl to end as national champions as the great coach tom osborne left college football. ::sigh::

i was complaining about how this is my last season of college football and if we don't do it this year then my dream will be shattered. not that i don't have faith in the magical workings of husker football, but the odds do seem to be against us. the next dream will be hanging out in syracuse...finding an intersection nearby that just so happens to be called 72nd and dodge...and partying solo in the streets after the huskers become the national champions of the 2006 college football season. hey, a girl can dream can't she?

all i have to say, is that fall is the best season of the year. i am going to be pumped for husker baseball as well, but nothing compares to husker football season. nothing.
