Displaced Husker in the Desert pays up!

As you may know, everyone I work with knows my loyalty to Our University. Our new conference generated a lot of excitement this season and I was as confident as ever. Unfortunately, I lost a bet to a gal who’s just as loyal to her school.
I had to wear their school colors to work, and I thought yesterday was as good as any, especially with their great bowl win Tuesday night. It started at my breakfast club who simply laughed out loud! The good news, I did not break out in a rash.
I had to provide proof that I carried out my end of the deal. Everyone was impressed with me that I actually did it. Me too.
