Corn Flakes: Volleyball Clinches Share of Big Ten Title

Husker men’s and women’s basketball notched wins to remain undefeated and Nebraska football made a coordinator change. I was travelling part of this past week and ended up getting sick. As such, I was incredibly tired and didn’t last long on Friday night. I tried to watch the Husker football game but I woke up at 2 a.m. on the couch with my neck hurting and the cat staring at me. A quick check of my phone showed my fears were correct.

Report Card: Illinois Fighting Illini 24, Huskers 13

First up: an admission. I didn’t watch this game live, as I was watching my son’s team in the state quarterfinals. Millard North beat Omaha North 21-0, setting up a rematch next week against Millard South in a game that will feature three Nebraska recruits. And for my money, Millard North’s Tory Pittman III is the best player in the state. I’m not a recruitnik, so I don’t know how this translates to the next level. I just know he makes plays no one else in this state can, at least that I’ve seen thus far.
