Degenerate bettors can be alive or dead, and we are finding that out in a weird way.
Milton Munson, Jr., a lifelong Huskers football fan, passed away earlier this month, but made sure to include an odd final request within his obituary.
“In lieu of flowers, please place an irresponsibly large wager on Nebraska beating Iowa,” the obit reads.
Munson passed away on Nov. 16th. Throughout his life, he called several cities home including Las Vegas, Columbia, Missouri, Hot Springs, South Dakota, and Kalispell, Montana. According to the obit, he would always come home to Nebraska.
The obituary continues with, “The grim reality of the Nebraska Cornhuskers finishing yet another season with a losing record proved to be too much to bear for Milton Andrew Munson, who decided he’d seen enough of this world during the team’s recent bye week.”
Nebraska was looking to play spoiler as the Hawkeyes came into this matchup at 9-2 and needed a win, plus a Badgers loss to clinch the Big Ten West division.
Unfortunately for Mr. Munson, his favorite team blew a 21-6 lead and lost the game 28-21.
