Nebraska Woman Chooses Lee Corso Over Rose Bowl

I... I... what?
Nelva Deeke won a contest from the ESPN TV show "College GameDay" and Home Depot.
She was given the choice either of tickets and all expenses paid to the Rose Bowl, or the show's three hosts: Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso would come to her home for a barbecue.

"I could've gotten tickets, with all the amenities, to the Rose Bowl, but since Nebraska wasn't playing, I decided not to use that one," she said. Instead of a barbecue in Hubbell, Deeke and some friends met the GameDay crew for lunch at a Lincoln restaurant, May 21.
Okay, okay: USC-Illinois did not exactly go down in the lore of the Rose Bowl, but it's not like Nebraska was busy on January first. You've been given a choice between a free junket to sunny California in January or lunch with Lee Corso in Lincoln, Nebraska, and you pick Corso?

I say we excommunicate the entire state. It'll be like Lesotho, except the Basotho would have the damn sense to go to the Rose Bowl.
