Getting Offensive

Hey, college football fans, here's a quick Q&A:

Q: How many Nebraska Cornhuskers does it take to stop the Kansas offense?
A: At least twelve. The eleven they had on the field today sure weren't getting it done.

(Alternate answer: Nobody knows. It hasn't been tried recently.)

By the way, if you don't know what I'm talking about, Kansas 76, Nebraska 39.

It's never good to give up 76 points in a football game...but to give up 76 to Kansas? Ouch.

I'd feel sorry for them, if it were anybody but Nebraska.

Still, as bad as that was, last week's Portland State-Weber State game might have been worse. Portland dropped 68 points on the Wildcats—and lost. The final score in that one was Weber State 73, Portland State 68. It was the highest scoring college football game at any level since the NCAA started keeping records of such things.

The opening line from the AP report on the game was classic: "No, they weren't playing basketball."

To score 68 points in a football game and lose anyway...that's just sad.

Incidentally, there's no truth to the rumor that they're thinking of changing the name of the school to 'Portlan' State (since there's no 'D' there).
