A Return to Form

Now that the calendar has gone from May to June and now into July, the Husker blog here will be heating up again. Recruiting is about to start taking a turn for the more exciting with a prospect by the name of Cody Green making a decision between either a stint in Lincoln or down in Texas for the Aggies. Green is one of the higher rated dual-threat quarterbacks in the country and could make a sizable impact for this team in the next few years provided he commits to Nebraska and then signs in February of 2009.

According to my calculations the season will begin in no less than 53 days, which can put a smile on anyone's face considering if you aren't a die hard baseball fan, this time of the year can prove to be very boring on the sports front. Although watching my Red Sox and following Formula 1, once we move past the 4th of July, my focus tends to return to my beloved Huskers. So in the coming days and weeks I'll be back on with some insight into the team and some opinions on the Big XII and the college football landscape at large.

One thing that will be spun into the mix this year will be a considerable amount of information regarding a rising North power in the Missouri Tigers. Since my last post, I've been hired by an individual who has close, very close ties, to the University of Missouri. I'll actually be behind enemy lines September 20th (a Nebraska bye week mind you) to help work the sidelines while the Tigers take on a team led by former Nebraska QB and current Husker legend Turner Gil. Will I secretly be cheering for Buffalo? Probably. But as the scoreboard will probably read 87-10 at the end of the game, I may keep that to myself. I'll be sure to wear some sort of parphenilia to keep me honest. It's an experience I can't pass up, even if it is the Tigers.
