Making the rounds on the Nebraska message boards and social media yesterday revealed the same old, same old, same old - the backup quarterback is the most favorited player ever, more favorited than the one that got away and the best fruit salad ever made.
Nebraska has two sophomores - Tommy Armstrong Jr and Ryker Fyfe, and a redshirt freshman - Johnny Stanton in the mix at quarterback. Armstrong has a 7-1 record as a starter, Fyfe has had an appearance in one game where he completed his only pass for a three-yard gain and Stanton obviously has yet to to see the field.
Is there any question as to who's going to be the starting quarterback?
Fyfe was mentioned as moving ahead of Stanton, something that might be expected given he's had an extra year in the system. Or is all the hullabaloo because we're just sick of all this and wanting this damned season to start already?
Northwestern took a huge hit, losing Venric Mark and Christian Jones, basically in the same day.

Lions made a mess of Suh contract, immediate trade now best option - NFL - Sporting News
Poor salary cap management and planning by the Lions front office has all but eliminated the possibility of signing Suh to a contract extension that makes sense for the team. The best option at this point is for the Lions to strongly consider trading Suh to the highest bidder before the preseason concludes.
Great news for Ndamukong Suh, honestly. There's a reason the Detroit Lions haven't won much of anything ever.

A 45-minute interview with Shawn Eichorst!!!!!
The program is stable! And there will be no beer sales! You can drink all you friggin' want around the stadium, but not in it, apparently because that makes a huge difference about what the university will and will not tolerate!
They're not going to pursue Husker hockey, and everything is okey dokey!
