His Husker name opened some doors. Slammed this one in his kisser.
Do I believe that? Not for a twelfth of a second. But I don’t doubt Thunder believes it. Guilty men harbor such delusions, for one. But Thunder – you see how natural it is to use his first name, the only name he ever really went by at NU, the only name that probably ever rolled off the tongue of 99 percent of Husker fans – embodied the identity of the troubled Husker as well as anyone.
Gifted. Given too much too quick. Lacking some necessary skills. Lost in a parkland town where, with its leisurely pace, forgiving folks and police force constantly chipping away at minor crimes, it can be easy to get and be lost for a long, long time.

Curse You, Carl Crawford, Curse You!
786 views
Tampa Bay Rays leftfielder Carl Crawford (the guy on the left) went 5-for-5 Tuesday night as the Rays crushed the Boston Red Sox 13-4 to take a 3-1 lead in the American League Championship Series. Crawford batting .500 for the series.
In related news, Frank Solich continues to look for a quarterback to replace the now-graduated Eric Crouch.
(No, I don't care about the Red Sox. Deepest apologies to those of you who in the Red Sox Nation shed a small tear tonight. Your team? Yeah, it's going down)
