If you're a Husker football fan like me, then today is a marginally exciting day for you.

If you're a Husker fan like some of the creeps and weirdo's over on a certain website that shall remain nameless...then this day is bigger than the birth of your child, the day you married your honey, that time you actually did something in an actual sport, and the first time you had...relations all rolled in to one.

Let me be clear (TM President Obama), I like seeing the new players that are coming in to continue their football careers at Nebraska. I watch their film if I feel like it. I get excited when someone who is supposedly very good announces that they are interested in coming to play for my favorite football team.

The problem is when people who know about as much about football as they do European tapestry get on message boards and start obsessing over high school boys.(more than high school girls on most occasions) Really? You're so infatuated with the football ability of an 18 year old boy that you're going to spend countless hours and dollars  trying to track all of their coming and going? (read: avoiding face to face contact with members of the human race) More power to you, sir...I'll be over here...hanging out with women.

However, thats not even the worst part of all of it. The worst part about it is when a player that appears to have some interest in Nebraska starts to show interest in another school, and may even "committ" to another school after "de-committing" from Nebraska. The self-appointed recruiting expert who know nothing about the kid other than what they are hearing from other message board posters start to degrade the young man (again, high school boy) and his entire family for being "soft, afraid of competition, heartless (TM Kanye West)," amongst other things.

Can we be honest with ourselves for a minute here, Husker fans? We're not exactly a #1 program right now. Last year was a very VERY average year for Nebraska. Didn't beat anyone we shouldn't have, and definitely lost to teams that had no business being on the same field. So who exactly on the fourth best team in the conference is scaring kids away with "competition? (Jared Crick WILL eat your children. I seen it!)

And by the by, anyone who said those things about Brion Carnes when he was looking to be a Western Kentucky Hilltopper until this morning: Don't start talking about what a great fit he is now. Less than 24 hours ago you were talking about how he was afraid of going for the starting job with Cody Green and another future Husker. (Carnes is weak! Like Ukraine! -message board guy 12 hours ago)

And if you do celebrate his signing, I hope Brion's cousin Tommie Frazier (you may have heard of him) finds you, punches you in the face...and eats you. (which will probably happen if there happens to be any KC Masterpiece around).

OH! While I'm ranting, I almost forgot to mention this.  Can we stop with the "Player X is N!" It makes you look like you need a course in remedial spelling (read: how not to spell like a moron), and frankly, is a holdover from the Steve Pederson era (Serving Heaping Helpings of Suck since 2002!) that can probably just die. It makes me want to club a baby seal. Eat that PETA!

In conclusion, congratulations to all the High School Seniors (read: 18 year old boys) who decided to come to Nebraska. Now shut your mouth until you do something on the field.
