It’s that time of year again! Well, Christmas trees have been available to pick up since before Halloween ended, but it’s officially time to deck the halls of the Nebraska football complex and write out your wishlists for Santa.

We here at Husker Corner make no exception and feel it’s our duty to make sure the jolly man up North knows that his girls and boys in Husker Nation could use some awesome gifts. Surely we’ll get what we ask for. Look at what color the guy wears, for crying out loud.

Year two of the Mike Riley Era was full of presents from a game that may have very well broken the spirit of the Oregon Ducks to one home game comeback after another. All of the nasty bounces of the ball that plagued 2015 seemed to be redeemed.

There’s a number of goodies that Santa could bring Mike Riley’s crew. Maybe a new set of gloves to make every day a WesterKatch® kind of day. How about a new set of cybernetic legs for Tommy Armstrong, Jr.? We have the technology and the cash. We can rebuild him.

Terrell Newby could certainly use one of those massage chairs to help heal his back after having to carry the team from time to time.

Ross Dzuris could use some MANLY mustache wax and the defensive backs could go for a new set of fanged mouth guards. What about the coaches? You know those electronic headsets have to fail eventually. It’s time to go to the next level! 21st-century technology, gentlemen!

Enough brainstorming. Let’s get down to business.
