Buffs rack up score on Nebraska, Callahan gone

In a high scoring game this past Friday the Buffs beat their nemesis Nebraska 65 to 51. The Cornhuskers squandered an 11-point halftime lead by allowing 34 consecutive points.

The next day Nebraska announced Callahan’s Departure. It will cost the university more than $3.1 million to buy out Callahan’s contract, which was to run through the 2011 season.

It was hinted to throughout the game on Friday that this was a pending event. From our cold seats in the stadium (which mattered little since we rarely sat down) many Nebraska fans throughout the stadium held up signs of “Adios Callahan” and Buff fans rooted for more years for Callahan. You know you are in trouble when your opponents love your coach.

But back to the game. It was fun. It was a blast. It wasn’t a defensive game and the points just kept adding up. First one, then the other. Fortunately Nebraska made some mistakes (why not go for it on 4 and 9?) and the momentum in the second half was amazing.

So here is a cheers for the Buffs. A nice way to wrap up the year and the students got to flood the field in celebration with the gorgeous view of the mountains in the background. Nice!
