For the last few days, there has been a crazy preacher at the Union, telling all passers-by that they are going to hell. And that's not all. The crowd got pretty argumentative, but the situation seemed to reach a new level altogether when the preacher asked one of the guys present if he still masturbated. And by asked, I mean yelled.

Apparently this man actually thinks that he is without sin. Who does he think he is? And he doesn't seem to be interested in converting people or anything like that. He was merely informing the world that we are all going to hell. Of course, these bible-beater types don't take well to arguments, either. When he heard a question he didn't like, he simply ignored it. So, everyone in the crowd was either very amused like me, or very angry. Many students actually got up and apologized for him. I just took his speech with a grain of salt. Besides, it made for some interesting pictures. See the previous photo posts.

Final score: Huskers 25, Maine 7. But don't let the score fool you - we sucked. The offense's only touchdown was handed to them. Although they were given the opportunity many times (often within 10 yards), they only managed to score one touchdown. We scored four field goals as a result. The defense even managed to put points on the board; a picked pass lead to our second touchdown. All I can say is that if we had played anyone much better, we would have been ripped to shreads.

However, all is not lost. We did still win, after all. Just don't look for the Huskers to reappear in the top 25 any time soon. And in the mean time, perhaps the offense will decide to show up.

Yesterday we got our Design Studio teams. Of course, the faculty waited until the very end of class to do so; most of us could barely stay in our seats. The anticipation could be seen in every face as the PowerPoint slides slowly advanced. The seniors had heard it all before, and the juniors wished they didn't have to. But at last, the time came. The first team went up. Then the second. Finally, my team was announced.

I will be working on the America First project. Unfortunately, we are all under non-disclosures, so I cannot go into any details of the project, but I can at least provide some clarification on our client - America First is some sort of conglogmeration of real estate companies, and together they own quite a bit of property in the Omaha area, and maybe elsewhere. I am very optimistic about the project, and also my team. The seniors on the project include myself and Matthew Brand, with Bob Kubicek as the team lead. The juniors are Christine Troshynski and Luke Wilson.
