As you might have expected, amateurs with too much time on their hands have completely destroyed the folks gleefully spending millions of B1G dollars they received for their "work."

Kudos to Sip for asking Bo some really tough questions regarding Taylor Martinez. We all know Bo doesn't really care for the media chasing rumors like this, but it has to be done.

That having been said, this is what I've thought all along: the rumors are just that - rumors. Bo just doesn't play games with this stuff. Remember Cody Glenn? When he was suspended, he was suspended, pure and simple. Same with Philip Dillard - he didn't play because he wasn't fully on board. Even this season, LaVonte David goes for 19 tackles and Bo says "he made a lot of mistakes." It's not about being a jerk, it's about being 100% truthful with his players - and it's one of the things that kept this season's QB situation from exploding in the team's face (like Arizona State's situation did the year Sam Keller decided to transfer to NU). With Bo in charge, that kind of stuff just isn't going to happen. Players may leave, but it won't be due to Pelini or another coach lying to them or to the media about them - it appears that's just something Nebraska doesn't do, and I'm very happy about it.

Friend of mine pointed this out to me yesterday - my denomination's headquarters are across the street from Big Ten Center. Considering how many more Lutherans there are in Big Ten country as opposed to Big 12, I volunteer myself and all fellow Lutheran Huskers to keep an eye on things.

Watching one of your kids fight cancer is something no one should have to do. I'm sure the Cosgrove family would appreciate any notes of encouragement, regardless of the fan base from which they come.

Turfman's is proud to present the latest in their line of free-range, grass-fed all natural trollbait. Guaranteed to provoke creatures of lesser restraint to mouth-frothing, carpal-tunnel-inducing flame barrages to make General Westmoreland proud.

Like most of us expected, this wasn't actually supposed to be a callout of Texas, but the annual alumni focus game. Why nobody put two and two together in the Athletic Department is beyond me - you'd expect they'd be on top of this a little better.

All right, fine, T. Boone. You're right. We've always had a wandering eye. It's not you: it really is us. Thing is, it's been like we're really good roommates these last eighty years or so: we love you, but we're not IN love with you.

I know you think the Big Integer will treat us badly. I know you're hurt and upset, and I wish this could be anything other than what it is. But I can't keep stringing you along anymore - eighty five years is too long by half. Take care of yourself, okay?

Apparently someone forgot to send the official Big 12-2 script to Lubbock. Those who've noticed the Longhorn Death Star moving into the Lubbock system need not be alarmed: this is just a training exercise.

My personal favorite:

Sent Tom Osborne a fruit basket yesterday. He just emailed me a picture of it, on fire. An offering to the gods! Excelsior!

"At 1:23 a.m., a Lincoln police officer on bike patrol saw a man relieving himself on a fence outside 121 Centennial Mall, just off O Street, said Officer Katie Flood." /deactivating irony enhancer in 3...2...1...

Again goes to show that Dr. Tom was always right: "Nothing good happens after midnight."

Sources in Kansas City suggest that Missouri, Nebraska, Rutgers and Notre Dame have been invited to join the Big Ten.

Okay, not really, but really, Ndamukong Suh is pushing to be the most popular man in Nebraska.

The current officeholder, of course, is Tom Osborne, which can mean only one thing: we're about to witness the nicest blood vendetta in history, dadgummit. Mark my words: there will almost be swearing and somewhere, somehow, someone will grimace in chagrin at the lengths to which these two men will go to not offend anyone.

Coupla decent one-liners here, especially "Saturday, Husker fans got their first look at the "peso" defense. "Peso" comes from Carl Pelini, which probably means the full name is the "@#$% peso."

there is No Place Like Nebraska
