Ohio State suspensions fuel negative feelings... →
dailybunch:
If the student-athletes of the NCAA went on to be as bad in their professional careers as the administrators of the NCAA are in theirs, no one would ever hire another so called student-athlete ever again. The NCAA’s ineptitude is so profound, it manages to make the TARP program transparent, just, and impeccably run by comparison.
When the NCAA cleared Cam Newton, I knew it would...

Big Ten Reconsidering Division Names →
Ah, I spoke too soon. Yesterday, I talked about how I didn’t mind Legends and LEdaers. And from my perspective, it sounded like people were beginning to let the division names grow on them too. Well, according to the “90% non-approval rating,” I was very wrong.
So the next few weeks could continue to be interesting for the Big Ten. I’ll be anxious to see if they choose a...

The Current State of Husker Affairs (According to...
It’s been a good week for Husker Nation. No real rumors running rampant means we can focus on some of the more positive things…like the new Big Ten logo. Now that that jokes over, let’s get to the real Husker news.
Legends and Leaders
When this was first announced, I sat and listened to so many people complain about it, knowing full well it would eventually grow on everyone....

This is Nebraska →
In addition to the new football recruitment video, the University of Nebraska has a new website. Except this time, there is no mention of Texas. Instead, Nebraska focuses on the tradition of its’ program and the transition to the Big Ten.

WatchAnd just when some continue to doubt Bo’s loyalty to the Nebraska football program, let me introduce you to the new Nebraska football recruitment video. Go Big Red.
This is Nebraska football.
You come to the University of Nebraska to be the best, to compete against the best in the country.
Nebraska football represents the best of what there is to offer in college football.
It’s...
An Open Letter to Bo Pelini
Oh, Bo, you got me again.
You had me sitting around for nearly two days contemplating the future of my dear ol’ Nebraska U’s football program because you refused to comment. And I may or may not have been a little worried.
I wanted to believe that you wouldn’t up and leave, but I couldn’t help but think that maybe you actually would. I wasn’t sure why you would, and...
“The reports that I am preparing to interview at Miami are false. I will not have...”

Nebraska and The Rumor Mill
Last night, I stumbled upon a tweet that made me laugh: “Social networking is the worst thing to ever happen to Nebraska football fans. #huskers” - @HuskGuys
I laughed because it’s true. I laughed because I had nothing more I could say, think, or do at that point. Rumors had been flying for hours that our beloved coach, Bo Pelini, would be leaving for Miami. Yes, Miami. Not...

College Football's New Problem →
Courtesy of Darren Everson of The Wall Street Journal, this article states everything I’ve been thinking since the NCAA cleared Cam Newton.
To explain, I fully agree that Cam is an incredible quarterback. In fact, he’s so talented that during Sunday’s BCS show on ESPN, Chris Fowler basically said everyone should tune in for the Heisman presentation to watch Cam win. That’s...
'Pelini had program's back in grueling year' by... →
You said it best of the day: In yesterday’s blog, Tom Shatel of the Omaha World Herald talked about what this year meant for the Huskers. Ultimately, he said it best “That, when the talk radio bullets are flying and Nebraska is in its bunker, Pelini has his program’s back and the majority of fans have his. That alone made it a valuable experience.”
Regardless of how he...
Vote Alex Henery (Nebraska) for the Rudy Award! →
I can’t stress this one enough. Even if you’re not a Husker fan, there is no reason not to vote for Alex Henery. He is easily one of the most consistent kickers in college football as we speak, and also one of the most humble. Having known him personally, he is one of the kindest, sincere, and well-spoken individuals you will ever meet. So please, give him your vote. He, of all people,...
And so it begins.
I’ve had a personal blog for quite sometime now. Typically I’ve used it as a place to dump my thoughts. However, from time to time, I would notice a big trend in my thoughts: sports. Not too surprising, considering one of my biggest passions is just that. But my sports talk was getting lost in the mix, and I didn’t like that. So after a lot of thought and preparation, let me...
