Corn Flakes: A Rough Weekend for Nebraska Basektball

Well, both Husker basketball teams lost to ranked squads this weekend. The road doesn’t get any easier as the Big Ten has more ranked teams yet to be played. The men played a decent game against Illinois, but the height of the Illini and their zone defense kept the Huskers off balance. The ladies were right in it toward the end, coming within four, but then Ohio State hit the gas and distanced themselves again.

Now that football has ended and it is too early to start gardening, I need a TV series or two to fill my “spare” time. I have a wide range of interests, so give me your recommendations in the comments!
