This thing with the Huskers — you have no idea how disorienting this is. You Seahawks fans and so forth, you Mets fans, you’re USED to it. Nebraska has never been out of the rankings in my natural life. I didn’t feel this bad when I figured out there was no Santa Claus. (Hell, I figured that red-and-white suit wasn’t an accident; Christmas is bowl-time, and I just assumed the big guy had tickets.)
