Corn Flakes: Volleyball and Football Season Are Upon Us

I have been in an absolute hole for the past week as school has started and I am exhausted. I always forget how hard the first few weeks of school are.

But, no worries as there is so much to look forward to, especially when it comes to the sporting world. Husker Volleyball and Football are within our sites. This weekend is the volleyball Red and White game and I am excited to take my kids to see it.

It will be a fun event to hold us over until next weekend when everything kicks off.

Speaking of football, my eight year old threw his first touchdown pass this past weekend. I’m just trying to decide if I start calling college recruiters now, or wait until he has another game or two under his belt.

Here are your flakes.
