Spring game has answers and questions.

The Red-White game answered some questions. It also kept some things unanswered.

First nothing is decided, for sure, at quarterback except that we have great depth for the first time in years. Zac Lee is still our best quarterback when you look at all aspects of what it takes to lead a team. Taylor Martinez has proven he will play in "situations" this fall. Speed and running ability will get him in some plays. He looks to run sometimes before he passes. Cody Green looks great at times and throws a great long ball but has to improve his short passing.Kody Spano and Latravis Washington can throw the short passes which is so important in this offense. And then there is Ron Kellogg, Jr., who may be the smoothest quarterback on the field.It will be interesting to see if Brion Carnes redshirts with our present depth.

I see Zac Lee starting this fall with others playing more than we have seen backup quarterbacks play in the past.

Running backs look solid. Robinson only ran one time on Saturday which is unusual. Helu and Burkhead have already proved themselves. Austin Jones may be our fourth back however if Braylon Heard can learn the offense, he could be a factor also.

Niles Paul has arrived. Let's hope he stays healthy. He is a force. Brandon Kinnie showed he has improved also and drug defenders ten yards for a touchdown. Will Henry may have made his mark also. I hope he gets a lot of playing time this fall.

The offensive line had two starters out for the game Saturday, "Yoshi" and Ricky Henry. Depth is also improved. The question is "Do we have great players in the offensive line or is there just a lot of good ones"?

I was surprised how many backs were beaten on defense on Saturday. Is the offense that much better. This defense is supposed to be the best in America. They were limited to what they could do and that is a huge factor. Ricky Thenarse looks recovered. We didn't see much of the main starters. I guess we will wait to see this fall. They will be very good when they can use their schemes and blitzes.

Alex Gordon has been activated by the Kansas City Royals. Earlier than expected. He has one appearance with one walk.

I found this REALLY interesting. As of July 2009, 100,000 pages of selected full-text historical Nebraska newspapers dating from 1880 through 1922 are available on the Library of Congress's Chronicling America site http://www.loc.gov/chroniclingamerica. Nebraska is one of 16 states that are participating.

Alex Gordon

3B Alex Gordon, on the disabled list and rehabbing with Class A Wilmington (Del.), is 2-for-8 with a double in his first four games. Gordon also has a .632 on-base percentage. He has walked six times and been hit by four pitches. Gordon is 2-for-2 against left-handed pitching. He broke his right thumb early in spring training.

Great watch!! Suh is unbelievable!!

Here's what I think?

My name is Kimmie Suuhh! I have been asked to give a guest commentary now and then! Well with the Red-White game evolving this weekend, it would be a great chance for NU to have a big win!! I mean essentially it should be a good game but the Huskers should win!!

What's the deal with the peso. I think it just helps NU get the right players in the game without substituting so much. The other teams are being d-bags and just don't let us substitute properly and the referees don't help things so we will just show them by making the peso our base defense.

I think when the running back sits behind the center and runs the ball like Rex Burkhead did last year we should call that the EURO. I just don't understand calling it the Wildcat. Euro is more dynamic and sounds fluid like my coffee in this pot!

What are we going to do this year without yelling Suuuuuhhhhh!! I just can't come up with anything except Heluuuuuu!! What do you all suggest?

That's what I think. What do you think???

San Antonio Sam Houston defensive tackle Quincy Russell decided that he wants to take more visits less than 24 hours after giving his verbal commitment to the Texas Longhorns.

Saying that he wants to take more visits, Russell indicated that he is not ruling out re-committing to Texas, but said that the Longhorns have only three scholarships remaining -- running back, defensive tackle, and defensive end.

Russell reports 17 scholarships offers and may visit Nebraska in the near future. We'll see what happens but he should be a good one!

Also Texas basketball player Avery Bradley may be headed to the NBA.

Third baseman Alex Gordon's return from a broken right thumb continues on schedule.

Gordon was assigned on Tuesday to begin an injury rehabilitation assignment with the Royals' Class A club at Wilmington, Del. He'll join the Blue Rocks on Thursday for a game at Myrtle Beach, S.C.

Royals Gil Meche had a good outing in his minor league rehab pitching performance. Said it was the best he has felt in a long time.

Cubs lose 16-5 to the Braves. The umpires are blamed for losing the game on a bad call. Must of been huge losing by eleven. The Royals lost 8-4. Greinke pitched great but the relief pitching was absolutely horrible.

Alex Gordon may start the season in AA at Wichita for his rehab.

Matt Howard has an ugly mustache for Butler. Probably will cause them to lose.

Red-White game is in two weeks. Looks like on defense we'll have Allen, Meredith, Crick, Steinkuhler, Dennard, Amukamara, Compton, Fisher, Hagg, Thenarse, and PJ Smith.On offense at least after this spring Cody Green, Helu, Legate or Kyle Reed, McNeil, Kinnie, Paul, Hardick, Caputo, Quale (Ricky Henry when he returns),Marcel Jones, and Keith Williams. Martinez may play the "Wildcat". Burkhead will challenge Helu to start.

Duke wins as Butler just misses a three-pointer.

Football is back!

This is a picture taken by my daughter Jessica with her I-Phone last season.

Do you remember who played in last year's World Series. It was the Yankees and Phillies. The Yankees won the world championship after an eight year drought. The Phillies lost despite the great offense by Chase Utley.

The Royals and Cubs look to be normal again this year. Both will end up with losing seasons. The Royals are my favorite team. Gordon is on the DL and headed to Omaha for his first stop.

Look to Sam Bradford the QB from Oklahoma to be the number one draft pick.

Why was 24 canceled after this season?

Kudos for the women Husker basketball team! 30-2

The Nebraska secondary has twelve players that could have started two years ago. The talent level is high. PJ Smith is a starter at safety. Thenarse, Cassidy, Gomes,and Courtney Osborne will challenge for the other starter. Our new defense called the peso is now our base defense. It is a lot like are previous nickel package.

Big night in Nebraska basketball!

Tonight is the biggest night in the history of Nebraska basketball. The NU women take on Kentucky and Victoria Dunlap, the SEC player of the year. It will be a tough game but expect NU to come out victorious in a close one.

Nebraska lost game 2 of the Oklahoma baseball series 4-1. Nebraska has lost the first two games of the weekend series.

Spring has begun. Taylor Martinez is getting a lot of kudos. So how about him setting up in the "Wildcat" and letting him run with the ball or possibly passing the ball? Rex Burkhead ran for 34 yards on his first carry from that formation last year. I like the Mike McNiel switch to wide receiver. Maybe he can get more touches.

The Cubs have invested nearly $200 million in outfielders Kosuke Fukudome, Marlon Byrd and Alfonso Soriano. This winter they still felt the need to add an established fourth – Xavier Nady.

The best outfielder may be Tyler Colvin. Colvin, a 2006 first round draft pick. The 24-year-old entered Tuesday with a .442 batting average (19-for-43) that ranked fourth in the Cactus League. His 19 hits led the majors while his 28 total bases were second in Arizona.

QB Kody Spano is being kept out of some drills this spring to continue his rehab.When he does start to play he may wear a green jersey. Left offensive tackle Mike Smith may get time at guard and center this spring.

Mississippi beat Texas Tech in 2 OT's 70-67 in NIT play tonight.

Kansas is out of the tournament and Cornell is still in! Go figure! Steve Donahue is their coach and he may be moving up with some pretty good offers. Their motion offense is fun to watch.

Leading the race for the Texas Longhorns at running back are Tre' Newton and Fozzy Whittaker. Newton is going to be a sophomore this year and Fozzy Whittaker has the coolest name. They have separated themselves from the rest of the talented running backs that includes Chris Whaley, who Nebraska was interested in a while back.

I’ve liked Justin Allgaier since his ARCA days, and when he won his first ever NASCAR race in Saturday’s Nationwide event at Bristol, I realized this kid is ready for prime time. Besides that he is a great kid.

Joba Chamberlain is still battling for the 5th starting position for the Yankees.

Sad news about Justin Tomerlin. Hopefully it isn't true.

If the Nebraska women beat UCLA on Tuesday night, which we think they will, then they will probably play Kentucky. Kentucky has the SEC player of the year in Victoria Dunlap, a Junior forward. Should be interesting. The Wildcats won 70-52 tonight.

Great show!

Broken Bow's Scott is impressive!

My good friend Jim Scott has made this writer aware of his nephew, Nathan Scott. Nathan is getting some solid looks from Division I schools. Nebraska and Colorado St. have shown interest. Nathan comes from a vry athletic family

Scott's father Jerry Scott was an All-American for Kearney State the late 1970's, Jim is his uncle and he started at center for Nebraska in the early 90's and his older sister Nikki Scott is currently an All-American volleyball player at UNK.

Nathan recently attended Junior Day at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He is being recruited as a linebacker but he might make a great safety in Division I. It may depend on his ability to play at a high level at a higher weight if he can play the linebacker position.

As a Junior, Nathan had 120 tackles and led Broken Bow to the C-1 semifinals.

Broken Bow linebacker Nathan Scott had a 120 tackles as a junior.
Nathan Scott appears to be headed down a similar pathway, as he helped lead Broken Bow in the Class C-1 semifinals as a junior, which was the furthest they've advanced as a program since 1986.

He plays quarterback for Broken Bow and has the speed to play other positions also.

We will continue to have the Nathan Scott watch as the next year approaches.

The Nebraska men's basketball TEAM wins!

Nebraska beat Missouri in opening round play at the Big 12 Championship in Wednesday. Key ingredients were 1) Play like a team 2) Hit the basket 3) Play great defenses and 4) Play like a TEAM. Doc had the players that play together the best on the floor Wednesday. The players reacted in a positive way with the win.

Matt Hill played one of his best games of the season vs. Iowa State on Wednesday night. Texas won. Hill had 12 minutes of play, three rebounds, three points, one tremendous block, and a zillion screens. Great job Matt!
