Today is the final football showdown between K-State and Nebraska.
Today is Bill Snyder's 71st birthday.
Today, legendary quarterback (and one of my favorite football heroes) Michael Bishop, will be back for the game.
We're undefeated. We have a superstar running back, an underused kick-off return man, big tall receivers and a senior offensive line. If we win, we're on track to playing in the last ever Big 12 championship. If we lose, I feel as if the rest of the season will be played out without enthusiasm.
When Bill Snyder came out of retirement to return as head Coach, it was as if he had risen from the dead. The Prince years were so bleak, not just because he was a terrible football coach, but because they coincided with Mom's diagnosis and the terrible years that followed. When Snyder came back to us, it was like he did it just for me, just for our family. Surely, on his birthday, with Bishop back in the house, he'll win the game. Just for me. Just for our family. Right?
Kick-off 6:30 on ESPN. I can't wait to see Bo Pelini get mad.

I wish we could all watch it together.
Me too. This morning I was thinking about the Texas upset in 2006. Mom called me before the game to say she found a stray purple flower in the garden and that she was predicting the win. I feel it today too.
