It's been fun and I know where you've been coming from, and I'd just throw it back. Anyway, one dick to another, if your books subject matter appeals to me, I'd read it. If I were still drinking, I'd buy you a beer.

I must not have sucked too bad if you guys kept coming back for more.<br /><br />Which reminds me...if you remember before 2007...I almost NEVER mentioned Missouri at all. Hell, the only reason I did to start with was because they won 22 games in 2 years, which coincided with Nebraska's fall from orbit. Bottom line, you can read Mike, Jon, CB and those guys, and if you're a Husker fan..that's cool. They're good guys and very skilled.<br /><br />But if you want to get fired up and throw down..you come to me. Obviously you guys also knew I was never 100% serious, or you wouldn't have come back.<br /><br />Regardless, keep checking in from time to time, or check out my twitter feed.

You're a skilled writer when you make the effort and you've managed to put me on the defensive on occasion because you know where the buttons are for us hicks in Husker Nation. I probably won't miss you much because I'll continue to read Husker Mike and Corn Nation and Big Red Network and the like. And since I live in Missouri, I can get plenty of what you've been dishing out at work. But still, may success be yours. So what's next, a book on anger management? Maybe you'd find it therapeutic. ;-)<br /><br />Best to you, AJ, and Go Big Red!<br />MHFMissouri Husker Fannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2436466409553975662.post-68769943944939592672009-10-29T13:35:42.927-05:002009-10-29T13:35:42.927-05:00AJ,

From a Husker fan's perspective, when you are at your best, your writing is been witty, sarcastic and painfully truthful—poking holes in our fan myopia. When you are at your worst, your writing comes off angry and absurd. But I keep coming back(and so do others) so you must be doing something right.<br /><br />That being said, this blog doesn't seem to have the fire that the earlier one did. Maybe the idea and content has run its course. Maybe, like you said, you need a new outlet. I hope it goes well for you. Honestly, thats the only way it can go.<br /><br />Sincerely,<br /><br />J.C.

A fond farewell from a Husker fan who read you...AJ<br /><br />A fond farewell from a Husker fan who read your posts for the last few years while peaking through my fingers. I think one of the truest tests of a writer is to produce actual emotions from those who are reading it and I must admit you produced them in me. Often it was a general quesiness in my gut hoping that what I was reading would not hit to close to the truth. Mostly though it was with a hesitant mirth as I saw a gifted puppet master pull his strings. I would chuckle to myself as I read along, laughing at how you were riling up stupid Nebraska fans, only to find myself eventually getting sucked into the fray and finding out I was getting ticked off as well. Many of your posts were so over the top that they were comical but still acted as a kick in the gut. I hated you for that, didn't want to give you credit for it and especially hated myself for continually coming back. But come back I did because I was curious as to how you would accomplish it each time. I have long said that I wish there was a pro Nebraska fan with your abilities. Maybe it takes years of pain to develop those skills. If so Nebraska fans should finally be producing some competant writers in the very near future. I wish you luck with your book and am releaved that I no longer have to debate with myself on whether or not I click on your link. Curious to see what this weeks diatribe contained but not wanting to give you the satisfaction of my hit. It pissed me off when I finally succomed to looking, and pissed me off more knowing that you knew it pissed me off. For that you win, and I offer my humble congratulations.<br /><br />Anyway enough with the lovefest. Although I wish you luck personally I still hope Missouri continues to fail with epic proportions (continues by the way not starts) and Gabbert's leg eventually falls off.<br /><br />I look forward to checking your book out of the library.<br /><br />A Husker in KCAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2436466409553975662.post-36934969639947841082009-10-29T10:31:00.345-05:002009-10-29T10:31:00.345-05:00Thanks..appreciate that.

An ex-Nebraskan, now living in Colorado, I've been a quiet reader of your blog for over 2 years and must confess that I enjoy both the design and prose of your site. I look forward to buying your book. Check your website logs for my IP address and then look me up me using reverse DNS - I'd enjoy meeting you in person if you're ever in the<br />front ranage area.

Which direction I go depends on how tough the research is, permissions etc.<br /><br />It will most likely be a fiction book based around true events or possible events. I do have one idea for a non-fiction type book, (Such as my favorite "True Believers" by Joe Queenan)...but I'm afraid the subject matter is too close. (IE - what makes fans tick)<br /><br />Sometimes, I know authors start a handfull of books, and then continue on with the one that has the most potential.

If you write a book, I can promise you that I'll at the very least pick it up.<br /><br />Is it going to be football related? Fiction or Nonfiction? One of my favorite books of all time, Steve Smith's "Life in the Red" probably hasn't been read by more than a few hundred people, but I'm willing to bet they all enjoyed it. I would imagine you could write a pretty killer mirror version of that book. <br /><br />Anyways, thanks for keeping football fun, and I'll keep checking in here for updates.DrewMGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02636338921318478968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2436466409553975662.post-65285533321588309392009-10-28T13:08:51.587-05:002009-10-28T13:08:51.587-05:00Then there's some of us who just read it just ...Then there's some of us who just read it just for a good chuckle or two, much like the way I watch Colorado football games.
