I offer my deepest apologies and regrets. I knew going into this Husker football season, with all of it's anticipation, questions, wonder, and excitement that something important might get ignored. Husker volleyball was put on the shelf as I poured myself in the goings on of the football team. Again, I offer my apologies, because I was ignorant. I wrote the Lady Huskers off at the beginning of the season because the team lost four, yes four, All-Americans and head coach John Cook red shirted a whole bunch of talent that could have potentially contributed to this year's campaign. I figured they would be good, but not great. I was wrong. Very wrong.
All the Ladies did was storm through the season undefeated until a shocking upset on October 29th at Colorado. They picked themselves up and kept steamrolling, then were defeated at Texas about three weeks later. Total losses on the season - two. Nothing short of amazing. After defeating Liberty and UAB in the first and second rounds of the NCAA tournament, it was on to Seattle for the regional semifinals. In the first match, the Huskers blasted Michigan three sets to none, then faced Washington. The Huskies jumped out to a 2-0 lead, putting the Huskers in a must-win situation over the next three sets to win the match. And that's exactly what they did. Even down 9-3 at one point in the final set, they battled back to defeat Washington and return to Omaha for the final four.
Their first match was against an incredible Penn State team, who was not only undefeated during the regular season, but hadn't even lost a set. 109 straight sets the Nittany Lions had won coming into last night's match. And they made it 111 straight after beating the Huskers convincingly in the first two sets. Once again, the Huskers' backs were against the ropes. It was Washington all over again, only this time they faced a much better team than Penn State. And once again, I made the mistake of writing them off. I've learned my lesson, ladies and gentlemen. The Huskers smoked Penn State in the next two sets to tie the match at two sets apiece, and came out firing for the fifth and final match to move onto the championship match. It was an amazing set, and the Huskers fought valiantly as they had all season. Penn State, thought, was too much this time and flexed their muscle to take the final set and advance.
So the Lady Huskers wrote the final chapter of their incredible 2008 season last night. A season which was much more than anyone, myself included, predicted. I can only imagine what next season will be with all of the talent Coach Cook has in store. Wow. And I make my solemn vow to never ignore this team again. Congratulations, Ladies!
GO BIG RED!!

I'm baaack!!!
Yes, I am still alive, if you can believe it. It's been nearly a month since I last had anything to say, so in case you were wondering, I still exist. At least in my mind. It's been an exciting few weeks with lots of events, some of which I will get to in a bit.
But first, I need to address the topic of my last post regarding the macaroni and cheese. A good friend bestowed upon me the secret to mastering the preparation of this traditional gooey favorite, which was to add a touch of oil to the water before adding the pasta. The oil, supposedly, would prevent the foam on top of the water which tends to eventually boil over and create havoc for macaroni lovers everywhere. I tried it the very next week after my last post, and it failed miserably. The water still boiled over, and I still had a mess. I have no idea where to turn next, because I've tried it all. I've tried turning the heat down, I've tried the oil trick, and nothing, oh nothing, seems to be working. I have resigned myself to the fact that I am doomed to macaroni and cheese preparation HELL!
But I digress.
In the weeks since I began my blogging sabatical, we have enjoyed Thanksgiving with Mandi's folks in their new home in Weatherford, OK. It was a fantastic trip, and a memorable one. The kids have never been on such a long trip (about eight hours), but were entertained by the new portable DVD player, and other various activities we brought along. They did remarkably well, and much better than expected. We had a wonderful time with Mandi's folks, and of course, feasted heartily.
Another event, which was also taken in at the in-law's abode, was the regular-season finale for the Husker football team. I had expected them to handily defeat the Buffaloes of Colorado, but it was a much closer game which came right down to the wire. Some good ol' Husker excitment with an intercepted pass returned for a touchdown sealed the last-second victory for the Huskers. They finished the season 8-4, and very much improved from the last few years. The Huskers are going bowling on New Year's Day, and will battle Clemson in the Gator Bowl. Should be a good game, and I'm looking forward to one last hurrah for the season, then beginning the off-season chats, predictions, etc.
It seems impossible that we are approaching the end of the year already, but our house is decorated and ready for Christmas. We had an especially adventerous time putting up the decor this time, as we had of course never decorated this house. We just sort of went for it, and the house looks great! The outside lights have fallen a bit short, since many of the icicle lights were out or not working. I have replaced them with new ones, but have yet to complete the task of getting them on the roof. I finally had some time this morning, but as luck would have it the snow has fallen significantly making it tough to scale the roof, or the ladder for that matter. (Although, I did try. Once I was up on the roof, however, I realized just how stupid that decision was. I didn't stay up there for long as pictures of broken legs, arms, and other such appendages floated around in my bean.) Maybe another attempt will come this weekend, if it gets warm enough again to melt the fallen snow.
Well, that sort of catches you up a bit. I am forever coming across topics I would like to write about, but just have such trouble finding the time. Frustrating, to say the least. But I guess that means I'm busy, which means I have things going on, which means I have a life and am blessed with family, friends, and good health. Can't complain about that!
Merry Christmas, all!

The Ancient Art of Cheese and Macaroni Preparation
In my continuing quest for culinary mastery of Kraft Cheese and Macaroni, I have reached a stage in which said mastery is seemingly within my grasp, yet forever elusive. It has become rather frustrating, yet for some reason, the pursuit of this mastery is irresistible. I liken it to the bug and the bug light concept. The bug sees the bug light, and simply can't resist being drawn towards it, all the while knowing that death is imminent. In much the same way, I am so close to achieving complete mastery of Kraft Cheese and Macaroni preparation, yet it's the final step, which I will get to in a minute, that does me in every time. But even knowing that I will be once again foiled by the final step does nothing for my resistance to trying.
Seriously, people, this is not something at which to laugh. It has been a long, hard journey towards striking just the right balance with macaroni and cheese. The first step was simply realizing there is no other boxed macaroni and cheese that compares to Kraft Cheese and Macaroni. Period. The competition is laughable, at best. I discovered this shortly after my dear wife began helping (demanding might be a better word) me to engage in a more frugal lifestyle. Some corners, I learned, just can't be cut. One such corner is quality boxed macaroni and cheese, for there is simply no substitute for Kraft unless it's strictly homemade. I now demand nothing else but Kraft when my wife goes shopping for groceries, and while she probably rolls her eyes and shakes her pretty little head behind my back, she also figures that if spending a few extra pennies on the good stuff will make me happy, than I'm a pretty easy fix. Whatever.
The next step was a painful one. You see, with three children in the house, one learns very quickly how to be quick and efficient in virtually every facet of life. Multitasking isn't just a desirable trait when raising multiple offspring, it's a necessary survival skill. This, of course, includes the ability to churn out meals in mere minutes. In my efforts to accomplish this feat, I began to realize the time-saving advantage of scrapping the measuring cups and spoons for the so-called "scant-measure" logic. Adding a quarter cup of milk to the macaroni and cheese no longer meant taking out the measuring cup and measuring, but rather just dumping what I estimated to be a quarter cup of milk into the pot. Sweet. Nice time saver. No more measuring the butter, just scoop a hunk out of the butter tub and toss it into the mixture.
Well, I soon realized just how crappy the macaroni and cheese tasted. It was either too runny, or too chunky (from the processed powdered cheese and not enough milk), or one of several other such maladies. Thus, lesson #2...ALWAYS measure the ingredients exactly per the directions for mac and cheese perfection! Hey, these Kraft folks have been doing the mac and cheese thing for years. They know how exactly how much butter and milk to add to the final product, and there's no room for cutting corners. As proof to my argument, my wife hasn't quite followed in my footsteps when it comes to precise measurements, and the kids know it. She'll even admit her mac and cheese isn't as good as mine. It's all about following the recipe.
So what exactly is this elusive last step to which I have alluded? Actually, it really has nothing to do with the overall final taste. Rather, it's about that damn white foam which forms on top of the boiling water while cooking the pasta (any pasta, actually - not just macaroni) and always boils over unless tended to constantly. I am not knowledgeable enough to know where this foam comes from, or why pasta seems to produce it. What I do know is that it's a nuisance, to put it nicely. A big pain-in-the-ass, to put it not-so-nicely. I've learned that if I blow cool air on the foam as it approaches the boiling-over point, it will recede for a short time, but it doesn't take long to return to the boiling-over point. So how the hell do you stop this stuff? What's the answer????? Anyone???????????????
I will continue to reach deep within my inner-Kraft-Cheese-and-Macaroni-yen until I discover the hidden mastership of this art. I will not fail. And when I succeed, it will be a glorious day. Until then, I shall press forward in pursuit of knowledge.
(As a side-note, I began typing this post before work yesterday and was unable to complete it. When I got to work, I was told by a co-worker that the white foam could be avoided by adding some oil to the water. Thoughts? I will try this trick next week when mac-and-cheese day comes around again.)

Twitter Malfunction
You may have noticed my newly added Twitter application to the left, which now doesn't seem to be working correctly. I attempted to fix the double "Kevin is" line, and thought at one point that I had, but now the entire thing seems to be awash. I don't know what's going on, and I've run out of time to work on it today, so please accept my apologies for the technical difficulties. Truth be told, you probably didn't really give a rat's behind what I was doing every minute of the day anyway, huh?
Technology. Gotta love it.
Not.

Huskers 56, Wildcats 28
Last Saturday's 56-28 Husker win against the Wildcats of Kansas State was the most satisfying win of the season, at least from my perspective. Even more so than the previous week's win against Kansas. Maybe it would be more accurate to say it was the Husker's most complete game this year. After rushing for 340 yards, and passing for another 270, it was the first time I felt the Huskers could just about do anything they wanted against a team. The defensive front four are playing absolute lights out football right now. Seriously. They have taken over the strength of this team, and are beginning to set the kind of tone worthy of comparison to the traditional Husker defenses. Constant pressure on the opposing quarterback, no chance of any kind of rushing game out of their opponent, and crushing tackles. For the first time in a long time, it's fun to watch these guys play football. The Husker coaching staff finally passed out the coveted Blackshirts last week, but did so with the warning that said Blackshirts could just as easily be taken away. In other words, the players earned them, but need to play like they want to keep them. This ongoing process of evaluation was a wise move on the part of the coaches, and it showed on Saturday.
Make no mistake, the Huskers are far from a perfect game. Mistakes still abound, as evidenced by the third quarter performance against the Wildcats on Saturday - the Huskers were shut out 7-0 during the fifteen-minute stretch. Still, the Huskers are improving. Penalties are down from where they were, the sloppy play is beginning to get crisper, and even the coaches are learning and improving from past mistakes. Yes, we here in Husker Nation are beginning to see some chemistry on this team and throughout the program, from the Athletic Director all they way to the trainers. It's a beautiful thing!
As a result, the Huskers sit at 7-4 on the season, and would seem well on their way to an 8-4 regular season finish. They are idle this weekend, and will wrap things up at home against Colorado on Black Friday (hmmm...any significance there - Black Friday....Blackshirts...I don't know, just a thought). A bowl game is eminent, and a 9-4 finale is mouthwatering. Looking ahead, there's lots of talk about the possibility of returning to the Big XII title game next year, but I'm going to put such talk off for now, and simply enjoy what I've seen this year. Husker faithful, for the most part, are a happy bunch thus far this season. No need to get into next year just yet.
As mentioned, no Huskers this weekend, so I look forward to putting my feet up and watching the drama unfold in Norman, Oklahoma as Texas Tech takes their campaign on the road. Lots of scenarios to think about in terms of a conference championship should the Red Raiders lose to the Sooners this weekend, which I believe is a distinct possibility. Hehehehe....I love this game!
GO BIG RED!!

Husker 45, Jayhawks 35
The Huskers enjoyed a very satisfying win last Saturday after defeating the Kansas Jayhawks. It was a much-needed win, too, for reasons I discussed in my last post. I was extremely thrilled at the play of the defensive front four, as they put lots of pressure on Kansas QB Todd Reesing and were solid against Kansas' rushing attack. All in all, a very good day for the Huskers. Yes, they still have a ways to go, but last week's game was a huge step forward.
Onto Manhatten, Kansas, for a date with the Kansas State Wildcats. This is another one of those sneaky games that could potentially bite the Huskers in the rear if they aren't careful. KSU's head coach was fired last week, but told he would be allowed to finish out the season. One could easily assume that the Wildcats don't have much to play for after a dismal season, and now the news they will no longer be playing for Ron Prince come the end of 2008. And that's why the 'Skers have to be careful. KSU has nothing to lose by pulling out all the stops, and I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they do just that through trick plays, stunts, etc.
Still, the Huskers have a lots to play for, and we can rest assured Pelini will have them ready to go hard. They will build on a tremendous effort from last week, and begin to exude some real confidence in their abilities. One gets the sense this team continues to learn from game-to-game, and this game will be no different. They will continue to fix their issues, and continue to improve while feasting on the Wildcats. Huskers 38, Wildcats 10.

Huskers vs. Jayhawks
Today marks the long-awaited rematch between Nebraska and Kansas, for it was a year ago when the Huskers visited Lawrence and were handed their worst defeat in history. An ugly 72-39 crushing, which I believe ultimately began the downward spiral of the Nebraska football program. Make no mistake, the program was already teetering on the edge of demise, but such a defeat put it over the edge.
So is today's game about revenge? Nah. Not for me, and according to Bo Pelini, his staff and his players, not for the Nebraska program. I believe there to be far too many motivators today, such that revenge need not be a factor. A win today puts the Huskers on an inside track to finish the regular season 8-4, go to a bowl game, and possibly finish 9-4. That's a sign of some great progress, folks. A win today following last week's debacle in Oklahoma instills confidence into a team that sorely needs it in order to finish strong, and avoid a season-ending three-game skid the likes of which seemed all too common during the Callahan-coached seasons of the last several years. But most importantly, in this humble Husker fan's eyes, is the need for Pelini to secure a signature win. A game he and his team can look back on as the building blocks of re-establishing the Husker football program. The Husker's effort against Texas Tech a few weeks ago nearly fit the bill for such a game, but it was still a loss. A win today against the mighty Jayhawks would give Pelini his signature win.
It won't be easy. Quarterback Todd Reesing and his Jayhawks rank right around tenth in the country in passing, and Nebraska's passing defense, depending on which category one looks at, ranks between eightieth and ninetieth in the country. Not good odds. Today's game will have to be up to the front four on the Husker defensive line. Frankly, they will have to play lights out defense, and make Reesing's day a living hell. Pressure, pressure, pressure. And then some more pressure. Get the idea? The Husker secondary just isn't talented enough to defend a pass-happy offense without the help of the front four. It'll be interesting to see what Pelini has in mind in terms of schemes and trickery. He'll have to be spot-on in order to contain the Jayhawks.
Unlike last year, I have been willing to predict a few Husker losses. I have laid down my pride and become more realistic. I predicted three of the four Husker losses, and score-wise, I wasn't all that far off. I say that because what you're about to read you might just find laughable. I have a good feeling about today's game. I think Pelini has something in mind, and he picks up his all-important signature win. The Huskers upset the Jayhawks today, and begin putting the pieces together to put Nebraska football back on the map. Rock chalk Jayhawk? Not in Lincoln, and not today. Huskers 42, Jayhawks 32.
Jeff, I'm awaiting your reply!
