Terence "Bud" Crawford may be ready to land the first world boxing championship in Omaha in more than 40 years. The CenturyLink may be the place. How exciting is this?! If the fight happens it would be shown on HBO. Crawford is 23-0 with 16 knockouts. Crawford is 26 years old.
His opponent may be Raymundo Beltran , a Mexican fighter and former sparring partner of Manny Pacquiao. Boxing is coming to Omaha!!
A source with knowledge of the situation says the Moses Ayegba will be transferring to the Nebraska basktball team from Georgetown. Ayegba is 6'9" and 247 lbs. He has one year to play. Nebraska has offered 2015 recruit Glynn Watson, a point guard from Chicago. He is a four star recruit. He is small at 5'11" and 165 lbs but he averaged 17 points and six assists a game. He shot 85% from the free throw line. Watson also has offers from Creighton, Iowa, Marquette, DeApul, and Penn State.
The Huskers are also interested Jordan Cornish a 6'6" 215 lb wing player from New Orleans. He had signed with Tennessee but was released from his letter of intent when Tennessee changed coaches. Cornish plans to visit Nebraska, SMU, and UCLA. He averaged 20.9 points for Class 5A Brother Martin High.
Nebraska has three scholarships available for 2014. They are also trying to get 6'8" forward juco player Deng Deng to visit Nebraska. He is considered one of the top 5 players in junior colleges.

Terrance Crawford says if he doesn't fight in Omaha, he will go elsewhere. He does not want his title bout to be in Council Bluffs.
The Oakland Raiders traded away Terrelle Pryor to Seattle for a 7th round draft pick this year.
Josh Freeman signed with the New York Giants and he will back up Eli Manning.
The Huskler baseball team is No. 55 in the latest RPI ratings. What an up and down team. Last week was a major disappointment.
Memphis beat the Thunder 111-105 last night to tie the series 1-1.
Yesterday the Cubs won and the Royals lost. Alex Gordon had two hits to raise batting average to .294.

I was surprised that Atlanta knocked off Indiana in the playoffs in the first game 101-93.
Golden State also beat the Clippers to lead its series 1-0. David Lee is good. Blake Griffin hardly played due to foul trouble.
Brooklyn and Oklahoma City were victors.
On this date in 2008, Danica Patrick became the first female winner in IndyCar history. She won the Japan 300.
May 8th is the NFL draft. I will be paying special attention to that. Where will Johnny Manziel go?

Holy Week and Sport Shorts!
This is a very special week with Holy Week starting with Palm Sunday today and the week ending with Easter next Sunday. Say extra prayers for those in need and thank God for all he has Blessed us with. Attend church daily if possible and take some time out to read the bible each day. It is very fulfilling.
Lots of sports going on. Elections are coming up. School is about over and graduations start soon.
Fun time but busy too.
Yesterday the NU football team had their Red-White game?? and I watched it on BTN last night. Very interesting.
This was one practice in 26. Sounds like Tommy Armstrong is the quarterback to beat. He was not impressive yesterday against the No. 1 defense. Ryker Fyfe and Johnny Stanton looked better but they were playing against less competition.
I give the edge to Johnny Stanton as our backup quarterback. He played real well and he can run. Many think Fyfe was the best quarterback on Saturday and that includes Armstrong.
Imani Cross was the Player of the Game. He ran six times for a 100 yards and two TDs. He was impressive as he ran over defenders. Abdullah didnt play but all the running backs looked good.
Brandon Reilly had the best results at receiver. He is much improved and will see the field this fall.
The linebackers played well. I was impressed with Rose and Courtney Love stuck out on a couple of plays.
The defensive line held up well against the offensive line. It is so hard to judge which one is stronger. Couldn't tell watching the game on tv who excelled on the offensive line.
On the defensive line I thought Greg McMullen had some nice plays.
Byerson Cockrell looks to be a starter at corner this fall. Lots of praises from the coaches and he had some nice plays on Saturday. That's huge for the defense.
Nebraska has nine recruits with verbal commitments so far for the 2015 Saturday they had some key visitors.
Jaelan Austin is a wide receiver from Grand Prairie Texas. He's a three star. He has 16 offers and five from Big 10 schools. His favorite school right now is Texas Tech.
Bryan Brokop is a 6'5" offensive lineman from New Lenox, Illinois. He is a 2016 recruit. He only has two offers at this time but Nebraska likes him and he likes Nebraska.
Jameel Cook is a defensive back from Missouri City Texas. He is 6'1" and 190 lbs. He is a teammate of Cameron Townsend who Nebraska is after also. He has three offers.
C.J. Johnson is a three star wide receiver from Bellevue West. He has length being 6'1". He has four offers. His father is former Husker Clester Johnson. He is known for having great hands.
Jackson Perry is an offensive lineman from Las vegas Nevada. He is a three star. His family came with him to Lincoln and it sounds like he is close to making his decision. He only has one offer but they expect more to come.
Spencer Tears is a wide receiver from Oak Lawn Illinois. Love these names. Nebraska is hitting Illinois hard for recruiting this year. Tears is a three star and he is 6'3". He has six offers. He says Nebraska is at the top of his list.
Cameron Townsend is a linebacker from Missouri City Texas. Rivals says he may be the most talented kid visiting this week. He has 13 offers. He is ranked in the Rivals250 list.
Aaron Williams is a defensive back from Atlanta Georgia. New Husker assistant Sharlton Warren is recruiting him. He is a three star. He has nine offers and has visited some of the top schools in the country.
The Masters ends today. I love to watch this tournament. The coverage is great. Jordan Spieth and Bubba Watson are tied at -5. I used to like Bubba Watson but after he went off on his caddy last year in a tournament and acted like a jerk, I wish for somebody else to win this one. I picked Matt Kuchar to win so I will be hoping he does so. He is only one back going into the final day.
There are only 14 players under par after three days. It will be interesting to see how tough the course will be today.
Jordan Spieth will be fun to watch also. Tied for the lead, he is only 20 years old and many say he is the next Tiger Woods. Because everybody is older than him he addresses his fellow players with Mister and respects them all. Spieth just earned his PGA card last year. He qualified for the Masters by winning the John Deere Classic in 2013. He became the first teenager to win a tournament in 82 years. Spieth would be the first rookie to win the Masters since Fuzzy Zoeller in 1979.
The defending Masters champ Adam Scott shot a 76 on Saturday. He had 35 putts. He might put his long putter away but probably not today.Oh and Fred Couples is on the leaderboard only four strokes back.
Interestingly Gary Woodland matched the lowest score ever at the Masters on the front nine with a 30. Then he birdied the 10th. He struggled at Amen Corner and ended up with a 69.
Jeff Knox owns the Augusta National record for members with a 61 played with Rory McIlroy yesterday.
TV ratings were down for the Masters so far. Tiger Woods makes a difference. ESPN said that its live telecast of the second round was down 40% in viewership from a year ago.
Kevin Harvick won at Darlington on Saturday night. I didn't even realize the race was Saturday night until it was half over. Jr. should have got four tires on the last pit stop.
Boxer Manny Pacquiao beat Timothy Bradley by unanimous decision after Bradley beat him two years ago.
Chad Johnson AKA Ochocinco may be headed to Canada to play football.
Eric Musselman is a former NBA coach who has interviewed with California.
Remember Kevin Ware who had that ugly leg break on Tv last year when he played for Louisville? He is headed to Georgia State to play.
The NSAA ruled that Holdrege will remain Class B in all sports but football for 2014-15.
They also ruled that for Class A and B basketball and volleyball there would be no game for 3rd place. The other proposal for the other four classes failed as the vote was 4-4.
The 2014 volleyball tournament will be held in Lincoln. Most of the games will be at Devaney and Pinnacle but four high schools will be used for the early games.
Friday night the Cubs knocked off the Cardinals 6-3 for their first extra game victory this year. Starter Jeff Samardzija is having an excellent year so far.
Nebraska is listed as No. 9 in the Top 25 college football tailgating schools. Tennessee is listed No. 1.

Connecticut vs Kentucky!!?
Does that excite you? A seven and eight seat makes the Final!! Experts said that you would have a one in 10,000 chance to have hit the Final Four! We had ninety in our fun pool and nobody has either team in the finals. Will this cause people to have less interest in the game tomorrow night. I say YES! Parody is definitely in college basketball.
People ask me who my favorite NBA team is. Since there are no Huskers playing next year it will be the team that draft Doug McDermott. I like watching the players that play in the State of Nebraska. Mike McGee was from Omaha but went to Michigan to play but the Huskers have had Micki Moore, Tyronne Lue, Eric Strickland, Stuart Lantz, Eric Piatkowski. I always followed those teams and on yeah there was Tom Kropp from Kearney State, Now we will have a Doug McDermot playing for somebody.
I pick my NFL teams the same way. Where are the Huskers playing? That's the teams I follow!
So I may watch the game tomorrow night or I may not. I will be chearing for Connecticut if I watch!
