Lincoln, Neb. (AP) - A 7-year-old boy was at the center of a Lancaster County courtroom drama Friday when he challenged a court ruling over who should have custody of him. The boy has a history of being beaten by his parents, and the judge initially awarded custody to his aunt, in keeping with child custody law and regulation requiring that family unity be maintained to the highest degree possible.
The boy surprised the court when he proclaimed that his aunt beat him more than his parents and he adamantly refused to live with her. When the judge then suggested that he live with his grandparents, the boy cried and said that they also beat him. After considering the remainder of the immediate family and learning that domestic violence was apparently a way of life among them, the judge took the unprecedented step of allowing the boy to propose who should have custody of him.
After two recesses to check legal references and confer with the child welfare officials, the judge granted temporary custody to the University of Nebraska football team, whom the boy firmly believes is not capable of beating anyone.

That very joke was told in Corporations for Hill's benefit on Friday.
Beautiful no matter the source....Bill Callahan is a genius! Go CU
Hey, how deep is my dislike of NU? I actually attend the alumni football game parties at Union Pub in DC just to cheer against them. My neighbor always goes, and he wants me to go with him for some reason. Serves him right.
