The latest in Sports and some cathin up!

Our guest writer wrote in the comment section last week the following about Tiger Woods, "I think Tiger will surpass Jack Nicklaus in major victories, unfortunately. He is starting to come around as of late, and I think it's only a matter of time before he wins a major. Possibly the British or the PGA Championship. If not, 2012 will bring him at least one. I used to watch all 4 rounds of every tournament he played growing up, rooting as hard as humanly possible for him. With the unfortunate scandal he created and went through, I find myself rooting for guys with more normal names, like Bubba.

Well Tiger did win and you can bet that he will win more majors. He played like the Tiger of "Old" today.

Nebraska will play some Heisman Trophy candidates this fall. Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson comes to Lincoln in October. He is rated No. 2 as a potential winner of the award.

Wisconsin running back Montee Ball is rated No. 4. Ball killed Nebraska last year. Wisconsin plays in Lincoln also this year.

Rated No. 8 is our own Rex Burkhead. A lot of the nation's fans don't know rex but Nebraska fans do.

Ohio State's quarterback Braxton Miller is rated No. 13. He gave NU a very tough time last year.

Arkansas State quarterback Ryan Aplin, believe it or not, is rated No. 21. He was the 2011 Sun Belt Player of the Year. Arkansas State may be one of our most competitive games in 2012.

NU quarterback taylor Martinez is listed in the group of "the best of the rest".

Mark Watton is the new Waverly boys basketball coach. He was the Lincoln Journal's Co-coach of the year in 1998 when Wahoo won C-1. Watton will continue to teach in Wahoo but will head to Waverly each day during the basketball season. Watton was the assistant coach when Wahoo had their 114 game winning streak.

Nebraska is trying to get David Williams to visit Lincoln. He is a running back out of Philadelphia. He ran for 2000 yards and had 37 TD's his junior year. Rivals rates Williams as a four star and he has been offered a scholarship by almost every top team in the nation.

The Cubs still have the worst record in baseball with a 29-49 record.

Matt Kenseth is out with Roush Racing. He may be headed to Gibbs racing. Brad Kesolowski won the Kentucky Nascar race Saturday night. Keso is becoming a fan favorite and continues to do well.

NU basketball has offered 2013 point guard Sam Singer, who attends Miami Ransom Everglades School in florida. Singer is 6' 4". Last year Singer averaged 34 ppg, 10 rebounds, and seven assists. Singer has not visited NU yet.

Athlon's has named their All Big Ten football team. Rex Burkhead, Spencer Long, and Brett Maher were named to the first team. Mayer was listed as both kicker and punter. Second teamers were Kenny Bell, Baker Steinkuhler, and Ameer Abdullah.  Abdullah was named as a kickoff returner. The third team consists of Cameron Meredith, Will Compton, Daimon Stafford, Taylor Martinez, and Kyler Reed.
