Nebraska Cornhuskers (corn)

Such an odd area of the country and of course the Army puts a base there.

Post. the Army establishes Posts. The Air Force builds bases, coddles the troops, air conditions the golf courses, and doesn't like to get their hands dirty.

Lee Marvin sez “hey.”

Sam Fuller, the director of The Big Red One, served with the division from the landings in North Africa, Sicily, and Normandy, to the end of the war in Germany. His memoir was the basis for the film.

And unless I am mistaken, Lee served in the Pacific.

As for Adrien, incredible talent but missing the judgment gene. I hope he makes it in the NFL, preferably with the Cowboys, and spoils many a season for Jerry.

I've never wished ill on anyone before in my life (except individuals in the vicinity of Junction City, Ogden, and Manhattan, Kansas).

Being in that vicinity is punishment enough.

Trust me

Yes, as a Marine, but don't fall for the part about seeing Captain Kangaroo take out a Japanese pill box.

Was it Mr. Green Jeans that took out the pill box?

 

[Don Muenz]

Might’ve been Mr. Handgrenade.

For sure, I played football with a guy from Nebraska in college, nobody is as die hard as a Husker fan.

However, the affinity for A&M's fan "culture" is as confusing as anything.

Any sentence containing both "Texas A&M" and "culture" must include words such as "nightmare" or "apocalyptic".

That was a typo.

The category was supposed to be "Best Fan Cult".

I don't know, I think the Rhode Island School of Design wins the "mascot" title hands down with "Scrotie". ( and yes.....that's real.)

The Story Of Scrotie, The College Sports Mascot Who Was A Dick And Balls
http://theballreport.com/the-story-of-scrotie-the-college-sports-mascot-who-was-a-dick-and-balls/

College sports are big business, with many schools putting as much into them as they do into academics. But the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence – abbreviated “RISD” – isn’t like most schools. Their sports teams are generally ironic jokes, and their mascot is quite possibly the weirdest one in the world.

Meet Scrotie. The anthropomorphic penis and testicles made his debut at a hockey game in 2001 when an enterprising student crafted a costume out of scrap material they had laying around. RISD’s team, the Nads, was shocked to discover that they suddenly had a mascot cheering them on from the sidelines, but it wasn’t long before Scrotie was a part of campus life, also cheering on the basketball team (named the Balls, because why not).

If you’re shocked that suck a prestigious art school would embrace something so lowbrow, it’s worth noting that RISD is the alma mater of Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane. The campus is no stranger to dirty jokes and wacky behavior.

The original Scrotie costume managed to hang on for a staggering eight years according to this article, but the wear and tear became too much and the university had to retire the mascot. You can see him doing his work at a 2008 Nads game in this video.

Don’t fret, though: the university realized what a vital part of school spirit Scrotie was and enlisted a group of students to create a new outfit that would bring Scrotie back to vivid life. Designed by senior Sean Devare, the new Scrotie is brightly colored and features a more ergonomic design that lets the wearer actually sit down, along with adjustable straps to fit people of all sizes. Scrotie’s trademark red cape was enlarged and he was given a sperm emblem on his chest, just in case anybody didn’t realize what they were looking at.

With his new outfit, it’s a safe bet that Scrotie will be making opposing teams uncomfortable at RISD for a good long time.

Scrotie is great, but Delta State's "Fighting Okra" is a serious contender too.

At least it's marketing campaigns are amongst the best:

Things seem to be going well.

So give Frost an extension

College football: 10 teams primed to bounce back in 2022

NEBRASKA CORNHUSKERS (3-9)

Nebraska lost eight games this season by one score, a storyline that has been mentioned many times when talking about the 2022 Huskers squad. Hypothetically, if the Huskers won them all, they would’ve finished 11-1 and played for a Big Ten title. Of course, the games actually have to be played and the results speak for themselves, but hopefully Scott Frost has something to build off of, otherwise 2022 could be it for the Nebraska legend. The addition of former Texas QB Casey Thompson is exciting.

Just sayin': I'm not really sold on Corn here, I think they were probably just a "throw in" to come up with 10 teams......
