Just like How I Met Your Mother before it, Christi and I started watching The Big Bang Theory since it's pilot episode. We couldn't have been more glad we did as they rewarded us earlier this month.

For those not familiar with the show, the main female character, Penny, is originally from Nebraska trying to make it big as an actress in L.A. Every few episodes or so, they will bring up a small tie back to the midwest, and it's usually pretty good as we are able to relate with it every time. Until this episode where her friends from back home visited her and they all watched the Husker game at her apartment.

As sad as this sounds, it's probably the best non-sports Husker call out since ... Tommy Lee Goes To College (I can't believe I just wrote that). For those that don't know: Yes, Christi and I were both in college when he did his four week show there. Yes, Christi and I both saw him and met him. Yes, he's exactly how you think he'd be. No, surprisingly enough, we did not require any treatment or vaccination shots after our close encounters.
