Cornflakes on Castille

First off lets dive into the Castille coverage.

Omaha.com - The Omaha World-Herald: Big Red - Shatel: Losing Castille hurts

Double Extra Point: Rex Burkhead Fever Has Begun
This is so good, I'm using the quote style-

"I remember five years ago when everybody told me Rex Burkhead was going to be a middle school stud, high school dud. I told them, ‘You’re crazy.’ For all those people who say he’s overrated, just wait four more years until he’s turned that Nebraska program around.  ~Tom Inman, Burkhead’s former basketball coach
