Dean's List

It's November...the theme is 'finish strong' so we can continue to build for next year (or decade).


Nebraska, known for it's academic excellence needs to add a few graduate level courses for the football and No Option community...my suggestions are:


1. "Feel the Love"...taught by Professor Pelini with objectives on the balance of enthusiasm, competitiveness and winning. Steve Mayhan has recommended the Lincoln police attend for a demonstration on proper 'taser' techniques to manage out of control behavior.

2. "Football Traditions"...taught by UNL students of the 90's with objectives on how and when to 'rush the field' after a signature win. Our last signature win was... We need a refresher course in the art, timing and safety of post-game celebrations.

3. "Numbers & Trends"...taught by the advanced math department professor with focus on the odds of: Coach Prince and Callahan being 0 - 39 in winning games when trailing @ halftime, Jon List cheating strategies in the weekly Pick'em contest, List family dominance in the weekly NU score prediction, Cubs 100 + years of anticipation of playoff success, etc...

4. "Where's in the Hell are the Mussmann's"...taught by either the geography professors because of their lack of correspondence this year.

5. "The Fine Art of Interviewing with the Goal of Not Getting A Job Despite the Pressures from the Spouse"...taught by Professor Jenna K. so that Ryan K. can continue to support the family and Jenna can enjoy some non-credit community courses for fun, socialization, etc...

6. "Advanced Wii Games" taught by Professor Dave H. and his team of orthopedic surgeons





What graduate level classes do you recommend?

Great video from practice...

Post of Huskerpedia Threads:
Cell phone video supposedly after a practice this last week....Former Husker football Special Teams Captain/current Asst. Strength Coach Brandon Rigoni takes on NU Wrestling Head Coach Mark Manning on the football field, to win a bet. Rigoni bet Manning that from 5 yards out, he could score on him from 5 yards out 5 out of 5 times. They strapped on the pads to find out. This is cell phone video, but it is priceless. The football, basketball, and wrestling teams are in attendance, as are some other student-athletes. ohh.. and Tom Osborne presents a trophy to the winner. Unity within the Athletic department.
