Huskers and Bears, Oh My!

   What a week for my sports teams!!!  On Saturday, my beloved Nebraska Huskers won in impressive comeback fashion against the Wisconsin Badgers.  Taylor Martinez used his feet and *gasp* his arm to dismantle the Wisconsin defense in the second half.  Nebraska scored 23 unanswered points to win a 30-27 thriller.  Huskers were dominant on defense as well, allowing only 7 points all second half.  Burkhead showed no signs of rust returning from his injury...he picked up right where he left off.   Hopefully this game is a sign of what is ahead for Nebraska this season in the Big Ten.  GO BIG RED!!!
    As if Nebraska's win wasn't enough, I also got to watch the Chicago Bears dismantle the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football.  The Bears were firing on all cylinders last night.  The defense put up one of the most dominant performances I have seen in a long time, recording 5 INTs (two of which went for TDs).  On offense the Jay Cutler/Brandon Marshall throwmance continued, with Cutler connecting with Marshall 7 times for 138 yards and a TD.  Cutler stayed mistake free and the O-line played well enough to keep him on his feet most of the game.  If the Bears can show up like this the rest of the year, watch out NFL!!!  BEAR DOWN CHICAGO BEARS!!!
