In a surprising move, it was announced that Patrick Witt--last season's #2 QB on the depth chart for the Huskers--is going to transfer. Reading through the message boards, there are a lot of interesting theories out there. My favorite one involves Witt teaching new recruit QB Cody Green the wrong si...

Kind of exciting news in the most boring time of the sports year: it was just announced that the Huskers will be playing at Missouri on ESPN for a Thursday night telecast!

As you can tell from this blog and other media sources across The Good Life, the excitement for new head coach Bo Pelini is at fever pitch. The same can be said for the Spring Game: with a sell-out and t...

I saw that this post was linked here...
