Monday Flakes: Winning Weekend for Football and Volleyball

Happy Monday!

It was an eventful weekend on the ranch. Fall harvest is in full swing and the apples are coming in to meet the cider press. My breakfast lunch and dinner all includes apples in some shape or form and will for the next couple of weeks.

Anyone have any good apple recipes for me??

Husker football won and the volleyball team swept two quality opponents. John Cook’s squad is fun to watch. They not only bring talent, but they bring a level of attitude I haven’t seen for a couple of years. I’m excited to see what the ceiling is for this young team.

Michigan vs. Nebraska odds: Early point spread released on Wolverines, Cornhuskers - On3
On Saturday, Michigan will take on Nebraska on the road. Experts evidently expect the battle to be lopsided.

I think we all expect this one to be lopsided. The Huskers have too many questions on the offensive side of the ball to hang with a Michigan team that is pretty complete and dominant all arond.
