Flakes: Janovich, Salaries, and Basketball Wives

It is Nebraska week over at Off Tackle Empire - SB Nation's Big Ten site. Head over there and argue all things Husker and make fun of Iowa. You can do that here too, but one can never get enough places to make fun of Iowa.

The Denver fans over at Mile High Report absolutely love Andy Janovich already. It  seems clear he is going to be an important cog in the #RunTheDangBall offense Broncos head coach Gary Kubiak plans to deploy.  We all  watched Janovich gain some attention as freshman and then largely disappear until his senior year.  It does my Husker/Broncos heart good to know he is going to a team that sincerely wants and needs a fullback.
