Cornhuskers Comeback to Defeat Michigan

Last night before reluctantly heading to bed, I e-mailed my sister the following message:

just under 90 minutes until gametime. I’ve been wearing red all day, as has daniel, though he left to play hockey hours ago & hasn’t returned, but will probably head to bed soon. it’ll be 2 a.m. here when the game starts, & I would have to watch the few-minutes-behind updates on espn.com. that could make for a long, tense night.

I saw that Bo Ruud won’t be playing at linebacker b/c of a broken arm – that sucks. still, I think nebraska will surprise & win by 3 or 4.

Go Big Red!

So, this morning I'm elated to learn that my beloved Huskers didn't disappoint and that my Alamo Bown prediction was spot on: Nebraska 32 Michigan 28

I hope someone recorded the game. It's been an up-and-down season for Nebraska, but the last two games - victories over Colorado and Michigan - are paraticularly sweet, and I want to be able to remember this Alamo.

All I've seen of the game is the highlight footage from ESPN.com. The last play was nuts. It looked like a rugby game out there. Given Michigan's history of luckily squeezing out victories in the final seconds of games, the Huskers should be counting their lucky stars that the Wolverines didn't win on a fluke.

Now, will Nebraska be ranked when the season ends? Despite losing the Kansas and some lackluster victories at the season's beginning, I think they are deserving of a place in the top 25.
