Husker strength and conditioning coach James dobson will receive the top honor for his job. There is nobody with more enthusiasm. He has a passion for what he does and is a large reason of why the Huskers are faster and stronger and in much better shape compared to before he got to NU. He is like a put bull on speed. He even makes a fat old boy like me want to run through a wall. He is well deserving of this award.

Coach Erstad said after the Husker's baseball game today that it was their most complete game of the season. Nebraska beat Indiana at Indiana in the opening game today 13-2.

Mike Rutherford of SBNation.com rated the new coaching hires and here are the grades:

Illinois-Jim Groce C-
Kansas State- Bruce Weber C+
LSU-Johnny Jones B-
Miss State-Rick Ray C+
Nebraska-Tim Miles A
South Carolina-Frank Martin A
Virginia Tech-James Johnson D+
Colorado State-Larry Eustachy A-

He says' "Tim Miles is never short on energy. Miles has an infectiously upbeat personality that his players feed off of. You almost have to in order to accomplish something like taking Colorado St. from 7-25 to the NCAA Tournament.

But work ethic isn't behind Miles' on-court success; the guy can coach. According to SI's Luke Winn, Colorado St. was the fourth most efficient team in college basketball coming out of timeouts this past season.

This is a terrific hire for a program that has vowed to make more of a commitment to basketball since joining the Big Ten."

Sounds great to me!!!

Christian Locouture became Nebraska football recruit number six. He is a defensive end from College Station, Texas, where Texas A & M is located.

The 6-foot-5, 255-pound Lacouture had narrowed his list of nine offers down to Nebraska, LSU and Michigan, but in the end he chose to become a Cornhusker.

A ton of top notch teams were after him and Nebraska got him. Looks like a great pickup.
