Eat it, Nebraska!

This is not a sports blog. Indeed, it is a "Let's all laugh at Canada" blog (see below). However, I have to crow about my alma mater, old KU, beating the tight, red pants off of Nebraska this afternoon. Sadly, I could not watch the contest as the only thing Northeasterners care less about than the Midwest is the current population levels of the Alberta Brown Striped Marmot. However, KU did defeat NU by the whopping score of 76 to 39. Dad would have been so pleased.

Just to get a shot in on Canadian deficiencies, my new alma mater, U of T, has set an all-time record for futility, losing a whopping 48 games in a row in their -attempts- at playing football (and remember, this is Canadian football, not real football). We haven't won a game since 2001! And before that, they lost 18 in a row, and that "victory" was a 13-11 struggle that was barely won at the last minute. It's all good though. U of T isn't supposed to be good at sports. They are like Harvard. If they were good at sports too, all of the other universities would get together and burn it down, because they couldn't stand the uppityness of it all. After all, that is why jocks beat up on nerds.
