Huskers in the 2008 NFL Draft
New Era Scouting has released a NFL draft guide that includes their own mock draft. Given all the talent that Bill Callahan was supposed to have brought in, there isn't a whole lot going on for the Huskers. I have the feeling that Husker defensive players are going to pay a steep price for what was...
Corn Flakes - Is Bo Pelini "Hovering"?
Can Alex Gordon and Joba Chamberlain save baseball? It's probably a stretch since baseball seems to be doing fine, but as hometown heroes they can give hope to some fans.

Big 12 Roundtable - The End Is Near
This week's Big 12 roundtable is being hosted by Texas blog Gabriel's Horn. Pretty appropriate title - The End Is Near. You suppose we'll see at least one guy dressed as an apocalyptic monk outside Memorial with a sandwich-board sign this weekend?1. With only two or three games left, how are you...
Morning Coffee Blahs - Desroy Texas!
The Cornhusker football team will go into Texas as a 21-point dog. When was the last time we gave up 21 points to anyone? I vividly the 17-point spread against Florida State in the '94 Orange Bowl, but I don't recall being down by more than that. Ever. Perhaps by now we shouldn't be shocked and...
