Some track stars get out of a drug test by just running away.

I went on a little trip with my Mom this weekend, we were in Missouri and knew we probably wouldn’t be able to watch the Husker game and decided that’d be fine. We happen to stumble into a cellar bar in the bottom of a shop and the football game had just started. We decided we’d stay for a drink to watch. I was pretty glad we had other things to do.

I was more bummed that we weren’t able to watch Husker Volleyball play. This team has no quit. Even in their first road B1G Ten matches where they are down in the first set, they kept battling back.

The player of the week awards keep coming and they are well deserved.
