"It's All Wrong ..."

Mickey in Omaha has taken it upon his own feeble shoulders to occasionally send in a state of the Husker Nation address, where he shares his views, feelings and fears on all things Huskers:


“I just can’t believe it … it’s all wrong. We had such a strong recruiting class starting last September with an Elite 10 quarterback committing to the Huskers and other strong defensive players that could bring the Blackshirts back to respectability. But there’s hope no more! They have since all de-committed and are transferring to Big XII rival schools where they will haunt us for years to come! The Blackshirts will be the laughing stock of the NCAA again, and bottom feeders like Kansas and Missouri will rise to prominence like we’re living in some crazy Bizarro world. There’s no way to change the tide now! We were on pace to be a top 10 recruiting class, nationally ranked by the media, and now we’re fighting with Division II schools for their scrubs! It’s hopeless! Even if Bo Pelini, the new Nebraska coach, manages to scramble together some desperate leatherheads to be sacrificial lambs for Oklahoma next year, it’s still going to be another night terror of a season! I don’t know what to do … Every Saturday next year I’m going to awake to the darkness creeping in through my bedroom windows, laughing and mocking me, my son, and the mouse that runs through my walls as we obediently don our scarlet garments and cry our way through another embarrassing defeat. This team is finished, we’ll never win again! It’s all wrong …”
