Happy Thanksgiving!

It is a time to be thankful for everything we are blessed with. Many lost their lives so that we can have so many freedoms today. I hope we never take that for granted or those freedoms will eventually disappear.

This will be our first Thanksgiving without dad. He was a very special dad who always taught us to do the right things. We miss his humor and his always loving care for our family. I feel blessed that God gave me a dad that was also my best friend, hunting and fishing partner, and parent. We miss him but the memories will allow us to continue on in life. We know he is in a better place now.


The Colorado football game is this Friday. Why is that the Colorado fans seem to hate Nebraska so much? I would enjoy hearing comments on this subject. Colorado hasn't won many games this year but they have been close so we will need to play a very good game to win. It will be the last home game for a number of seniors including Zac Taylor. They will be missed.

Injured Zach Bowman is going through the steps to see if he should enter the NFL draft. He has to commit by mid-January. If it is determined that he can come back 100% by next summer, I would think he will enter the draft.

The Husker BB team is 3-0. They are shooting lights out in the first three games. The team will need to improve a quite a bit before the Big 12 to compete. After the two home games next week, NU will face Miami Fla, Rutgers, Oregon and possibly Hawaii in December. We will see how they compete against these teams away from Bob Devaney. Docd Sadler has created a lot of excitement with the program and is fun to watch.

NU has seven BB recruits and may recruit one or two more players. It will be interesting as to which players will transfer or lose their scholarships as NU upgrades the program. With this approach the players will be working hard to show the coach they are worthy of keeping their scholarship.

The NFL network will show the Denver-KC game tonight. This network is only available in 33% of the households. It will be interesting as to how many viewers watch the game. This game is huge for both KC and Denver.

Dallas and Detroit always play on Thanksgiving. Dallas should win. Detroit will have a tougher game against Miami. Look for Detroit to upset Miami on Thanksgiving day.

Enjoy your day and have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
