A ball must have blasted Cook in the eye This must've happened after the photo by the jet because he didn't have a black eye then. I'm not really getting the whole "Year of the Pig" thing. The problem with some coaches is their incessant desire to come up with some team philosophy based on some random thing they encounter. Oh, this year is the Year of the Pig, okay, let's find an analogy where the pig plays a leading role. Well, I had bacon and eggs this morning. Hey, bacon! Wow, the ultimate sacrifice. Except, I don't think the pig voluntarily sacrificed itself for humankind, but don't mind the technical details. Oh, look, there's a stick on the ground. Let's see, I can easily break this one stick, but hey, if I bundle a whole bunch of them together, I can't break those darn things. Strength comes from unified numbers. Every team has the same dang philosophy about teamwork and hard work and goal-setting. The same dang things. I'm pretty sure he's not saying anything about human sacrifice but it came across that way in an almost comical way. Nebraska is successful because they've got great athletes to begin with plus some great coaching. No need for this bacon and eggs stuff. Itâs a Chinese Zodiac reference. (I am thinking you already know this and Iâm a doof for taking the bait.) qz.com/1529094/year-of-the-pig-everything-you-should-know-about-the-coming-lunar-new-year/What is special about the pig? The pig is a huge part of Chinaâs culture. For instance, the Chinese character for âfamily,â or 柶, consists of two partsâ with the upper part ćź symbolizing the roof, and lower part è± (shÇ ) meaning pig in ancient China. That reflects the importance of pigs (link in Chinese) historically in Chinaâs agricultural society. Today, China is the worldâs biggest pork consumer. What are the characters for people born on pig years? People born in the year of a particular zodiac animal are believed to inherit some of the signâs characteristics. In general, the pig is associated with mildness, fortune, and wealth. People born in the year of the pig are supposed to be cheerful, sincere, and brave. Zodiac theory interacts with Chinaâs theory of the five elements, which also shape character: metal, wood, water, fire, earth. Zodiac animals have both fixed and non-fixed elements. The pig is always associated with water as its fixed element. Since 2019 is considered to be an earth year according to the lunar calendar, those who are born in this year of the pig will be âearth pigs,â who have the characteristics of being easygoing, kind, and persistent (link in Chinese). ETC And so with those characteristics listed, Iâm thinking Wolfgang, you are a year of the pig baby.

[**uhhh, cannot believe I'm saying THIS here!**] Guys: 50% of this NEBRASKA thread-page just got hijacked for a Mandarin/ Chinese New Year "stream of consciousness" something-or-other?
