Well today I was in Class teaching, I looked over at a student and then I looked more closely. I noticed that he was wearing an Oklahoma State pullover. I was like where did you get that? As he was telling me about his trip to Oklahoma and the states, I then noticed that he was wearing a red hat that had a Big Red N on it. He said that he bought it in Florida as he really liked the style (he didnt know what the N represented). I couldn’t believe that I was staring at Nebraska Cornhusker Gear! I was so proud that I proceeded to tell the story 3 more times today about how great Nebraska Football is and how we love our Cornhuskers. I always say the same thing when ever I am away from the Midwest. I love Cornhusker Football the most because it is something everyone can agree on in Nebraska. We all get together, we wear red, we drink beer, we eat great football food and we sit around with our family & friends and watch football. It is a feeling that has stayed with me everywhere I go. Today, to have the opportunity to explain that to my class was so much fun, even if no one really understood. :) It was nice to be close to home.

Nice work putting up a good post. Although I am not sure I would have been able to allow your student to get away with wearing Oklahoma and Nebraska gear together. You might get beat up for that in the mid-west.

Now that you mentioned it....yes, that was a little strange. However I was thinking about my family in OKC and NE and how nice it was to see them together again. :)
