USC vs. NU week is finally here…my thoughts about this week….

… I can bleed the Vegas line or give you the Husker Red …reality vs. optimistic

Reality…Steve Mayhan will wear his black shirt to the game
Optimistic…Steve Mayhan will unveil his red shirt that he has been wearing under his black shirt after the awesome win

Reality…game time @ 7:00pm will provide an excited fan base
Optimistic…game time @ 7:00pm will provide an endless deafening noise from all areas of Memorial Stadium; especially when USC is on offensive

Reality…Ben Muss thinks that the Trojans are not the real deal
Optimistic…some protection is better than nothing; let's hope the offensive line grades outstanding, even better than the 0-2 score of prior coaches

Reality…Game Day is in Lincoln
Optimistic…No Option signs make national TV

Reality…No Option arrives in Lincoln @ 7:00am Saturday morning hopeful, wishing, dreaming for a close game and seeking Big 12 North respect
Optimistic…No Option arrives home @ 7:00am Sunday morning boasting, bragging, dreaming about the close WIN and demanding national respect

Reality…No Option TV reception is clear for the game
Optimistic…No Option flat-screen LCD TV provides non-glare reception

Reality…USC 35 NU 14
Optimistic…NU 27 USC 24

Reality vs. optimistic…I'm waiting to read yours…
