National Embarrassment
Well... Saturday didn't go exactly as planned. The day was good, but Nebraska was embarrassed by USC... we made the final score look respectable against their reserves... but 35 straight points by USC made us look silly. It was painful to watch, but I won't leave a game early (the sole exceptions were both work-related), and I stood through it and watched the Huskers fall apart. We have some serious issues on defense that need to be corrected.
Outside of that, being in Lincoln was fun. I ate at Bread & Cup, which was really good and really cool. Wish I could go there more! Kevin is awesome and it's cool to see his dream come alive and actually taste it.
Went to Misty's the night before the game, had never done that before and it was cool to finally experience that "tradition." Got to see Steve Waid from Nerd Camp there briefly, and again later, when we were both at Eppley leaving on Sunday. I saw my sister in the Northstar marching band, caught some drinks with JDE people and said happy birthday to Katie Thommasset.
GameDay was much more chill. I slept in, ran some errands with family, and then had a nice big meal at Lazlos with some good beer before watching the debacle. My uncle and I then went to Old Chicago for another couple beers and a snack and watched Florida State take care of Colorado.
The weekend sort of flew by, but it was a lot of fun. I got home exhausted, but managed to fight through and stay up until 3 am or so talking online and continuing to clean.
I've got company coming this weekend, more precisely on Thursday and staying through Monday morning. Really excited about this weekend, should be relaxing and fun. Arcade Fire at the Hollywood Bowl on Thursday from the 6th row is going to be amazing. And we're planning on watching the Husker game in Orange at Danny K's. Hopefully the result is better than against SC. :-)
