The Word on the Huskers Bowl Bid

I just received this information a little bit ago from a another Husker forum. The word is that Nebraska will be playing Clemson in the Gator Bowl on January 1st! Go Big Red!!!

The word on Cody Glenn

I know this might not be official but word I have received on Nebraska's defensive star Cody Glenn is that Bo suspended him indefinitely due to Cody's conduct regarding the illegal selling of tickets. The players and the University receive tickets to each game to give to friends and family so they can come to the game and watch their players. This is a privilege and not an opportunity for players to sell the tickets for a profit and this is understood by every player on the team. Word has it that Cody Glenn violated this and was selling the tickets to make money and was caught and it was brought to coaches attention. This is a huge disappointment to me because Cody Glenn was a huge asset to the defense and I really enjoyed watching develop this year but rules are rules!

Nebraska vs Colorado Post Game

What a game!! I was unable to make it to the game even though I had tickets, but due to the holiday. But, I was able to watch the game with friends and family.
I was very disappointed with the beginning of the first quarter when Nebraska gave up two unanswered TD's to Colorado. Both of the TD's were total blown coverages by the Husker's secondary. But, Nebraska came back and didnt let it get out of hand. They woke up and started playing like they were the Buffs in Lincoln. I'd have to say i thought the overall play was sloppy but they did what they had to do. If you can find some highlights you'll see some of the intensity the Skers were playing with. There was some trash talking at the end of plays, but that's not it the D was hitting hard and no matter what happened they jut didn't quit, it got me so fired up!

Lets talk about the end of the game. Its 31-30 Colorado and Nebraska faces 4rth and 25 yards to gain with a 1:40 left in the fourth quarter. I didn't know what they were going to do. I thought if Bo sent the field goal unit out there they would fake it, i thought no way they were going to try a 57 yarder to set the stage for the outcome. And as we all know Bo sent the field goal unit out their. Everyone out of their chair and completely quiet. The Skers snapped the ball and Henry kicked the hell out of it, and nailed a 57 yarder!
Their was still some time left for CU to make the comeback but don't tell Suh that! CU's ball and its 2nd and 10 to gain, Hawkins throws the ball it is tipped at the line and the ball fell right into the arms of Suh and he was off to the races, Suh wasn't touched until CU's QB thought it would be a good idea to take down a 300 pound freight train and was absolutely denied!!

All in it was an awesome to see and the better team won in dramatic fashion!
