I should be heading to Nebraska Friday morning! My friend - and all around good guy - Jon Peters, better known as "Big Nut", called a couple days ago and offered me a seat on a RV - and likely a game ticket - with his group headed Friday morning to Lincoln, Nebraska. He thought it would make a good story for me, and boy was it awfully tempting!

Unfortunately I am still fighting this back with muscle cramps that have a mind of their own. Last night, I tried unsuccessfully, five times to bend over to get into bed, each time I ended up screaming in pain. I finally crawled to the bathroom and got in the shower for about 20 minutes to get the spasms to stop. I had always heard about football players that were out with back spasms and wondered what that was. You don't ever want to find out firsthand! All the neighbors are wondering what the screaming is coming from our house.

So I thought the last thing I could do is get in a RV and ride 13 hours straight right now. I mean the last thing we would want the Huskers to see is some short fat Buckeye fan all decked out in Scarlett and Grey, and doubled over on the pavement out there withering in pain! So I told Jon I would have to take a rain check. Sorry I had to pass Jon...it was a gracious offer from one of the most loyal Buckeye Fans I know. We will be looking for you on TV!
