yes....i came up with this one all by my lonesome...:wink2:
schools from the old big 8 conference were trying to decide what their school colors should be. so, they sent officials to seek the wisdom of GOD. members from colorado nebraska, oklahoma state and iowa state were among the first to talk to GOD. the osu rep was first to stand before GOD and HE told the rep., when i think of oklahoma, i think of deep orange sunsets setting over the prairies, with fluffy white clouds dancing in the skies by day and vast open black skies at night. your colors are orange, white and black. next was the isu representative. GOD told him that when HE thinks of iowa, HE thinks of deep red sunsets over gorgeous golden yellow fields of corn...your colors are red and yellow. the CU rep was next in line. GOD said, when i think of colorado, i think of glorious golden sunshine filled days that grace your beautiful state over 330 days a year and deep, dense black forests of pine trees that stretch for 100s of miles through the high country, your colors are black and gold. next it was NUs turn. their rep. stood before GOD and HE said, your colors are scarlet and cream.
That night, GOD and St. Peter were sitting down to feast and St. Peter asked, "GOD, when all of the schools stood before you, you gave them glorious explanations of the origins of their school colors except for nebraska...why?"
GOD replied, "Well, when i think of nebraska, all i can picture is red necks and white trash!"
