than I have been in several years. I like the changes that I am seeing in the weight room and with our coaches. As I listen to Robert Anae's interviews this year he seems so much more confident in the offense. In past years, he seemed highly frustrated and rather guarded in his answers. This year, he has a lot more optimism and he seems happier and more assured in his offense's potential.

Bronco seems more confident and at ease in his interviews as well. The players are stating that they've never felt better and they're ready and hungry for Nebraska.

Anyway, I have been a pessimistic sad sack for the past couple of years and that didn't get me very far either. If I have heightened expectations and the team stinks it up, who cares? At least I had fun as I am truly looking forward to Nebraska and that's the first time in a while I have been this excited.

Go Cougars!!!!
