Huskers Ground the Owls

Roy Helu Jr. rushed for 152 yards in just over one half of football, and Nebraska's Blackshirts grounded Florida Atlantic's high-powered passing game, as the Cornhuskers rolled to a 49-3 victory over the Owls in front of the NCAA record 298th consecutive sellout at Memorial Stadium on Saturday.

Player in front a season-opening crowd of 85,719 - the third-largest crowd in Memorial Stadium history - and an FSN pay-per-view audience, Nebraska notched its NCAA-leading 24th consecutive season-opening victory while stretching its active winning streak to five games dating back to last season. It was the Huskers' most-lopsided season-opening win since 1993, despite playing a 2008 bowl eligible team that was loaded with returning offensive starters.

Sand Hills Golf Club

A friend of mine recently made it up to the Sand Hills Golf Club for a few days of golf at its finest. Golf Digest dubbed Sand Hills the best course built in the last 50 years. It's a Crenshaw & Coore design, and most likely their finest. The use of the natural landscape is truly stunning. I've included some photos of his visit below.

Bowlegged Ants

Here is another little diddy that my Grandpa used to say. Its essentially just a really goofy story, but I put some music to it that I feel fits the overall mood of the rhyme. Here are the lyrics and a download link.

Ladies and gentlemen, hobos and tramps;
Cross-eyed mosquitoes and bowlegged ants;
I come here before you, directly behind you;
To tell you a story, I know nothing about

This Thursday which is Good Friday, there will be a convention;
In the women’s club, which is strictly for men;
Admission is free so pay at the door;
Pull up a chair, and sit on the floor

It was a cold summer day in winter;
The snow was raining fast;
As a barefooted boy with shoes on;
Stood sitting in the grass

It was a bright sunny day, in the dead of night;
Two dead boys got up to fight;
Three blind men to see fair play;
Forty four minutes to yell hooray

Back to back, they faced each other,
Drew their swords, and shot each other;
A deaf policeman, heard the noise;
And came and arrested those two dead boys
