Recap for the weekend: Huskers win (barely), Broncos win (barely), Tico's margaritas excellent.

Nebraska's offense still has yet to show up for the game. And to top it off, our defense nearly gave up enough points that it might have mattered. On the other hand, the last three minutes of play were amazing. We had to give Pitt the ball back near the end of the game, up 7 to 6. Terrible defensive calls left them knocking on our doorstep, in field goal range. But between the crowd and multiple timeouts, their kicker was psyched out of his mind and the kick went bad. The student section roared, but they still had another down and time on the clock. But on their second attempt, the kick was blocked. The crowd then erupted in cheers. It was glorious.

I also caught the last quarter of the Broncos game. We seemed to be playing pretty solidly, but between Elam's two(!) missed field goals and two red zone turnovers, the game was tied at 17 until the last few seconds of the game. Then Mr. Elam made his third field goal for the win. Apparently he has never missed three attempts in a single game, ever.

And yes, I did go to Tico's again on Friday, and I had their strawberry margarita. Simply fantastic.

Well, last Sunday was my birthday. My parents came out from Colorado to see me, and we spent the weekend together. I got them tickets to the Wake Forest game, and we went to Famous Dave's afterwards. On Sunday, I had my first two legal magaritas at Tico's, and later we went to Lazlo's for dinner where I had their beer sampler. We finished the evening with a bottle of Champagne - the real stuff, not just sparkling wine. Later today I am going out with friends to Tico's to celebrate Tracy's and my birthdays. More margaritas!

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.
