Tunnel Walk....Highlights...My thoughts:- The future is very bright at QB with Zac Lee and Cody Green. Zac Lee was arguably better than advertised. Tell me you weren't excited when Rex Burkhead and Cody Green were in the backfield yesterday. Said Burkhead,"He was getting excited when he knew he was coming in, for me to be in the backfield him. It's kind of that Texas thing. It was fun to be

And here we go again.4* CB Anterio Sloan (West Helena, Arkansas) has opened his recruiting back up and from what he says, I wouldn't get real excited about his chances of suiting up for the Huskers next fall (link.) Says Anterio:"Auburn, Kentucky and Mississippi State are on me real hard," the 5-foot-9, 165-pound Sloan said. "Those are the only three schools on me real hard. Auburn hasn't

Don't tell Howard Schnellenberger that his 22-point underdog Florida Atlantic Owls don't have a chance against Nebraska on September 5th. In fact, if this video tells you anything, it's that he can't wait to get another crack at taking down the Huskers.

Although schools such as Memphis, Oregon, and Texas Southern all came calling, it appears former Husker RB Quentin Castille will play for the Demons of Northwestern State, which is located in Natchitoches, LA. The move down to Division 1-AA (FCS) will allow Castille to use one of his two years of remaining eligibility immediately. As you know at Memphis or Oregon, there would have been a one

Coach Pelini wasn't in a good mood yesterday:"Doesn’t matter whether it’s the beginning, end, middle. It doesn’t really matter, does it? .... We're not a real good football team right now, for a lot of reasons. No one's stepped up and taken control. Bunch of average guys running around out there right now."Video courtesy of the OWH:

With super kicker David Buehler in the NFL, it was time for USC to turn to someone new this fall to take over the kicking duties. And talk about a 'blast from the past,' that new kicker is none other than former Husker kicker Jordan Congdon. If you recall, Jordan had himself a nice little career at Nebraska before he transferred back to USC to be closer to home. Taken from Huskers.com:2005

(That red and white up there? Yeah, you can't have it.)If you haven't heard by now, many college campuses across the country are not exactly happy with Anheuser-Busch's new marketing strategy. The promotion goes something exactly like this: "Show your true colors with Bud Light. This year, only Bud Light is delivering superior drinkability in 12-ounce cans that were made for gameday."The beer

Some interesting things taken from Jon Nyatawa of the OWH after practice on Tuesday:Cody Green has emerged ahead of Latravis Washington and is now the #2 QB behind Zac Lee. According to Shawn Watson, Green has been "making better decisions." It should be interesting to see what type of playing time Green will get in the first two games. Obviously, the redshirt debate is over with now. How

After two long years of testing, ESPN has announced that it will be producing a '3D' telecast of the USC-Ohio State game Sept. 12 at 8 p.m. ET.Theaters in Columbus, OH, Hartford, CN, Hurst, TX, and the Galen Center on the USC campus will be showing the game in 3D and the only way to watch is to win tickets through the ESPN radio affiliate in those cities.In fact, ESPN will have its own 3D crew -

According to Thunder, he was found guilty because he didn't 'snitch' on his friends. Like he said, 'if you're going to be a rat, be a rat. But at least tell the truth.' That's just standard protocol in the drug underworld - everyone knows that.Besides Thunder's friends, guess who else is a bunch of snitches?? That's right, Tennessee.This is just one more opportunity to show one of my favorite

From the OWH:"A Douglas County jury has found former Nebraska running back Thunder Collins guilty of first-degree murder and other charges.The panel of six men and six women, who began deliberating Friday afternoon, returned the verdict about 2 p.m. today.Prosecutors had urged the jury to convict Collins of first-degree murder, attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault and three counts

As Mitch Sherman from the OWH alluded to today, the myth, the legend that is Rex Burkhead is about to appear before our very eyes much sooner than we could have ever expected.Some quotes taken from Sherman's post:Tom Inman, Burkhead’s former basketball coach:“I remember five years ago when everybody told me Rex Burkhead was going to be a middle school stud, high school dud.

When I put Notre Dame at #8 in my preseason BlogPoll, I knew that wasn't going to be a popular choice in the minds of others. Evidently, I have at least one person I'm on common ground with and that's of course, Lou Holtz. (Notre Dame is at #23 in both the AP and Coaches' preseason polls.)So how crazy is Dr. Lou?? There's no question he's out of his mind most of the time and his history of

From time to time, a sports betting scandal is unearthed that rocks the world and leads to the downfall of some of our favorite sports heroes. Whilst the vast majority of people enjoy gambling without breaking any laws or cheating, there are plenty of occasions throughout history where famous sportsmen have been tempted to break the rules. Whether in baseball, basketball, football or hockey, it

"Nobody's above the football team. I've got a program to run, both short-term and long-term....Everything's out to be won right now... I'd say Rex Burkhead is squarely the #2 running back...we've got a long way to go before we play in a football game, I'm not trying to elevate him to, you know, that he's Franco Harris yet, but he's coming along..." - Bo Pelini

Brian Christopherson from the LJS: "Quentin Castille was not on the practice field Saturday, his third day of missed practices, and head coach Bo Pelini said following practice that he has been dismissed from the team."Rumors have it that it has to do with multiple failed drug tests but nobody has said for certain that was the case. If that is the case, then I'm not sure what that does to

If you would like to look at both the AP and the USA Today Coaches' Poll, then click here and compare. Both polls are very similar with most teams having a difference of only a few spots. Kansas cracks the Top 25 here at #25 to give the Big 12 five teams this time around. Not getting any love is Missouri who mustered up only three votes.AP Top 25 1. Florida (58) 0-0 1,498 2.

Solich will be entering his 5th season as head coach at Ohio University and has compiled a 23-26 record overall and a 17-16 record in the MAC. In the summer of 2008, Solich signed an extension that will keep him in Athens until 2013.A member of the fan base that you can watch cheer on Coach Solich and his

I've been eagerly awaiting some confirmation regarding who the candidates are to return punts and kickoffs this season. And even though it sounds like there is plenty left to be decided, it appears this unit is beginning to take shape and could/should be improved from a year ago.According to yesterday's OWH article, Tim Beck named five players who are competing for the roles. They are Niles

And once again, we will be taking our part in this ever exciting event.Since this is the first poll and it's due on Monday, I went ahead and put it together.
