Tomorrow is the first Nebraksa football game in the 2010 season. Not only is Jon excited but Barrett and I are too!!! Of course Barrett is always told to say things like "Go Huskers!", "Go Big Red!" or "Go Nebraska!" But all the sudden he has started saying it on his own without Jon or I encouraging him. For some reason he's been getting the urge to yell "Hussers! Hussers" while he's in the bathtub?? Not quite sure what that's about. I know it makes Jon very proud each time he hears our litte guy utter that word. He must have known that football season was drawing near because 2 mornings this week on our way to daycare he said "mommy, i want the song with Go Hussers!" At first, I wasn't sure what he was referring to but after thinking for a bit I realized he wanted me to sing him a song that Jon has on his iPod. It's the Nebraksa fight song. It goes like this (and yes, I did sing it for him in the car!)
"There is no place like Nebraska, dear old Nebraska U. Where the girls are the fairest, the boys are the squarest of any old place that that you knew. There is no place like Nebraska, where they're all true blue. We'll all stand together in all kinds of weather for dear old Nebraska U!"
After all the words the band plays and then the crowd yells "Go Huskers!" a few times...this is the song he had been wanting to hear.
Some may think it's surprising that a girl that was born and raised in Oregon would actually go along with all of this Nebraska hype but I honestly do enjoy it. It's so much fun!!! I love watching the games (before I met Jon I don't think I ever watched an entire football game in my whole life...now I watch every play!), love buying new Nebraska gear, and love the tradition that goes along with all of it. I may not be as rilled up as Jon is for the game tomorrow, but I too am very excited!!!
So in Barrett's words.....GO HUSSERS!!!!
