I loved the article by Dirk Chatelain about Bob Devaney and the story of how he got to Nebraska. Excellent, educational, and entertaining! Great info to discuss with the Nebraska fan.
Now today in the Sunday paper he says the NCAA dropped the ball! He says they should have sent Penn State off the field for a year (2013). OK so who gets hurt. The teams that are scheduled to play them in 2013. Do they just drop a game or do they schedule Maine State? The student-athlete gets hurt. Of course it does hurt the University also.
But a $30 fine with no bowl games for four years and cutting to 65 the number of scholarships they have will do damage to the University for the next seven to eight years. It allows the student athlete to continue to play there if they wish and it doesn't disrupt scheduling for all the other schools involved.
He says it allows them to adapt a "Us Against The World' attitude. What's wrong with that. They (players) didn't commit the horrific crimes. Having a attitude that they will improve is a show of character.
I admire the Penn St. coach Bill O'Brien and his approach to the circumstances. He is a great coach to have at Penn St. during this time.
Ex-Husker Nancy Metcalf helped the US defeat Brazil in five sets a week ago. None of the players in this game will play in the Olympics but the Huskers are being represented well in the world of volleyball.
Because yesterday in the Olympics Jordan Larson was a "KEY" to the US winning the game against the South Koreans. She played well, made us proud, and the tv camera man constantly had the picture on her. What fun!!!
The women's basketball team will face four NCAA Tournament teams in its 2012-13 nonconference schedule including with 2012 Elite Eight team Maryland in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.
Connie Yori's contract has been extended to 2017!! The Huskers have been to the NCAA tournament in four of the past six years.
The NU football team is looking to add one or two more commitments at wide receiver in the 2013 class. One of their top targets is Brian Lemelle out of Harrisburg, Penn. He plans to make an official visit to Lincoln. He has already visited Cinncinnati, Virginia, and West Virginia and has them about even. He is 5'11" and 175 lbs. Last year he had 93 catches for 1,630 yards and 15 touchdowns.
