Nebraska 56, Iowa State 3

So how bad was it today? Not only did the Cyclones suffer their worst since 1997 when Nebraska defeated Iowa State 77-14, fans couldn’t stand watching it. Who would have thought it would have been smarter to stay till the end of the game to avoid traffic? With 11 minutes to play in the fourth quarter, from the press box I could see cars at a standstill waiting to move.
To put it into even more perspective, after the game, I went down to the visiting locker room to talk to Longhorns Coach Mack Brown and quarterback Colt McCoy. Usually when a team like Texas comes in and wins, reporters from other outlets around the state are typically down there to get a few quick thoughts. Nothing. Besides one other reporter, I was surrounded by a herd of Texas newspaper reporters and camera crews. Besides doing interviews in the middle of a hallway, it was practically a home game for them. They made themselves at home not only on the field but throughout the Jacobson Building.
I guess when your pulling out 56-3 victories on the road you could probably feel comfortable in the feeding tank of a shark with meat tied around your neck.
