Implosions, Melandri Wins

First off, congrats to USC for their victory against Nebraska Saturday. They are an excellent team, and the better team won, without question.

Secondly, visit almost any Husker message board to watch some of the most hilarious infighting on the planet. You have the crowd who is questioning the playcalling. There is also the normal bunch who goes batsh!t at ANY type of criticism. The funniest part is that even objective criticism makes one a "Husker hater". I love that the Knights of Husker Nation are so righteously defending the honor of the program that they continue to use their Nazi-like tactics on people with any different opinion. Be glad bigredboard doesn't own a gas chamber. If they did, you know Adolph Train Wreck and Osama bin Hardcharger would be using it.

I wanted Nebraska to win as much as the next guy, they didn't, and the world did not end. They will beat Troy next week, and receive their next biggest challenge this season against the Longhorns. They could lose that game, too. And to that I say B.F.D.

I want one thing to come from this loss: learning from it. Is it a huge surprise USC won? Hell no it isn't. Nebraska came out there, followed the gameplan set before them, and it didn't work. It didn't work because *GASP* USC is a much better football team. We adjust the gameplan(s) going forward and focus now on Troy.

I'd say "calm down" to Husker fans, but then I would lose the entertainment value of reading the hilarity on all the message boards.

Melandri Takes Australia

Marco Melandri looked awesome in the rain, taking first in the Australian Grand Prix. Valentino Rossi placed third. He was running in 4th place until the final turn. Nicky Hayden had the pole position, but moved back to 16th after a bad start. He finished 5th, and still is leading in points for the world championship.

This was a crazy race, and the rain was coming down pretty good until the last few laps.

Moto GP cameramen suck, that much is certain. Japan is next!
