The cats love drama, and so they love recruiting
Life in the Red's Blog | Big Three's decisions loom
* DE Owamagbe Odighizu will make his announcement at 1:30 p.m. CST at David Douglas High School in Portland (it will be carried on ESPNU). His final three are Nebraska, UCLA and Oregon State.
* QB Brion Carnes will make his announcement at 8 a.m. CST at Manatee High School in Brandenton, Fla. There are several conflicting reports as to whether Carnes already has picked between Nebraska and Western Kentucky. Chris Conboy, Carnes’ high school quarterbacks coach, sent a message to Scout.com on Sunday saying that Carnes committed to Western Kentucky.
* S Corey Cooper is set to make his pledge at 9 a.m. CST at Proviso East High School in Maywood, Ill. Arizona, Illinois, Nebraska and Notre Dame apparently are among his finalists.
So yeah about Carnes...
Bradenton.com initially reported that Carnes had committed to WKU, but the story didn’t include any confirmation from the quarterback. After a contrasting report surfaced Sunday, it was eventually confirmed that Carnes had indeed committed.
Brion Carnes Update: It's Western Kentucky (DXP)
By now, we've all heard the rumors swirling around QB Brion Carnes' commitment to Western Kentucky. I spoke with John Lembo from the Brandenton Herald via email tonight and this is what he said: Hi Sammy... I spoke to Brion late Saturday night. He confirmed it but chose not to comment further. John How's that for some investigative blogging? It's time to turn our attention towards Owa and Cooper.
Is it just me or am I thinking that NU could still get this guy? He doesn't sound solid to me. And why would you want to play for Western Kentucky? Ahhh the fun of recruiting.
In bigger news!
Huskers snap Big 12 losing streak
From Jorge Brian Diaz slamming a putback to Christian Standhardinger wrestling the ball away from his foe, Nebraska pushed first, pushed harder and pushed more. .... "That’s the only way we can play," said Nebraska coach Doc Sadler, whose team improved to 13-8 overall and 1-5 in the Big 12.
The streak ends! Yayyyy! But I wonder if NU can get another win?
Husker defense shuts down Buffaloes
The win left Nebraska 19-0 on the season and 6-0 in the Big 12 Conference. It’s the first time the Huskers have ever been 6-0 in either the Big 12 or Big Eight.
The streak continues! yayyyy! But I wonder if NU will ever lose a game?
Lincoln, Cornhuskers may partner on 16,000-seat arena
The Lincoln City Council and the University of Nebraska are preparing to partner on a new, 16,000-seat arena that would become home to the Nebraska basketball teams. Tentative plans for the West Haymarket arena call for the city and the university to form a joint public agency to fund and oversee the $340 million project. The city would retain ownership of the arena.
I'd like to hear your comments about this. Tom Osborne says we need it to be competitive in basketball in the Big 12. Lincoln could use an updated arena for concerts. Still, its $340M in this economy. Is this a good idea? Anything wrong with it? - JJ
Would this be similar to the arrangement for the baseball/softball facility? -JL

Leave it up to the NFL to try and put a stop to a 25-year Saints tradition just days after the franchise has reached the pinnacle of their success.
Surely we have some NFL fans amongst you. You guys been following this whole "Who Dat" silliness? SB Nation's David Cariello, who writes the Saints' site "Canal Street Chronicles" talks about how stupid the NFL is for trying to trademark the phrase "Who Dat". - JJ

Two things… the new (potential) BB house and the Carnes thing. First, on the kid. I’ll just put in what I wrote elsewhere on another site
=
The kid was giving going to Nebraska serious consideration, but in all that serious flirting, he started to get wrapped up in this whole “Nephew of the Great TF” thing and that turned some mental screws and made him turn a little cold on us. Then, when the USF offer was pulled, he really started to freak. I think he felt like all that was really left on the table was Nebraska and the thought of having no choice other than going there/here and having to deal with the pressure suddenly made him snap and he went to his coach.
The coach, knowing some friends in need, basically took over, packed, shipped and guaranteed delivery of this kid to WKU. The kid, still fearful of the expectations he’d face here has just been along for the ride and has yet to say anything. Carnes is likely mentally somewhere not so fun, trying to convince himself that this “deal” is ok, but likely feeling a bit like a piece of meat, but somewhat ok with it because it keeps him out of the pressure cooker.

I know times are hard, but if we want to give a boost to the basketball programs and maybe even help out the other programs and even provide a good place for other things, then they really need to move forward with this. Of course, for that to happen, the Lincoln crybabies need to get over the state fair. I don’t think people in the rest of the state would be as willing to hand over their hard earned dollars for such a project if Lincoln cries it’s way into getting the fair back.
Personally, I think the way to go is go big. I mean, if you can make it so that as many things as possible can use it, like the MBB, WBB, VB, Lincoln Stars hockey even, then it’s the way to go. Then, you can start transforming the vacated facilities into updated practice facilities and so on and so forth. I know their are people who would cry foul for histories sake, preserving things like the ‘Bob’ … but really, the football complex get’s updated all the time and it wasn’t that long ago that the baseball team got a new home, so go cry foul elsewhere.
As for seating, I’d like to see a place that can has 15K for normal seating, but can easily make it 17K and even add in 1K more for BB games. Yet, be built well enough that it doesn’t look bad if only 6-8K show up for a BB game.
If ignorance is heavenly bliss, then welcome to hell.
