OK, so I've pretty much been addicted to BTN's "Nebraska Days" coverage marking the Huskers' entrance into the Big Ten Conference.
The warm glow of exceptionally pure Husker crack bathes my brain as I nod off in front of the HDTV, and I keep seeing this commercial from Omaha's own food and agribusiness conglomerate, ConAgra. If I've seen it once, I've seen it 20 times.
And I cannot get enough of it. It is my new favorite TV ad.
It just strikes me as pitch-perfect in depicting the life of college students and the parents who love them. Particularly the dad. Dad is awesome.
I ALSO love it when Mom surveys the mass if comatose young-adult humanity crashed before her in the "student residence," then asks "Are they dead?"
"That one's breathing," Dad reports back.
Perfect. Just perfect. More, please.
"That's your son."IS IT just me, or is anybody else really craving some Manwich right now?
"That's our son."
"Don't remind me."
