In honor of the Red and White Game tomorrow (the Husker football pre-season scrimmage), I'm posting an email a co-worker sent me. This year begins a new chapter for Husker Nation with new head coach Bo Pelini at the helm! Go Huskers!!

To commemorate the end of snowboarding season, I bring you a video of the 3-man tandem snowboard in use. Unfortunately, I can only find it on AP's site, so I can't directly link to it. Go to http://www.associatedpress.com/ovn/index.html. Under the Feature Video From Your Site heading, search for "snowboard."

Snowboarding is hard enough with only my body to content with. I can't imagine having two more people strapped onto the same board! Somehow they only fell 3 times going down.

(Thanks to Tobin for finding this!)
