I think my friend’s Facebook status sums up Saturday’s Big 12 championship game…

We had a lot of fun, even though the last second of the game was the worst second of the game. And the stadium was super awesome!

Facebook has been buzzing with angry Nebraska fans after Texas was awarded an extra second which won them the game, 13-12.  But as my grandmother always says, we “can’t stay mad, gotta get glad” and the following announcement is having us all happy…

The Lincoln Journal Star reported today that Ndamukong Suh is a Heisman trophy finalist and invited to the Heisman presentation in New York.  The other finalists are…

Toby Gerhart, Stanford running back
Mark Ingram, Alabama running back
Tim Tebow, Florida quarterback
Colt McCoy, Texas quarterback

Go SUUUUUUHHHHH!!!!!

Thunder Collins arrested for murder

Posted by huskerfan on September 25, 2008

Former Husker running back Thunder Collins and Karnel Burton were arrested yesterday in Omaha for the slaying of a Los Angeles man, supposedly a drug deal gone bad. Collins is in police custody and faces murder charges.

Collins played three seasons as a Husker after signing with Nebraska in 1999 out of East Los Angeles College. His best year with the Huskers was his junior year in 2001, when he rushed for 647 yards, and is best known for the trick play with Mike Stuntz and Eric Crouch that led to 63-yard touchdown pass. He quit the team in October 2002 after being suspended four games for an undisclosed NCAA rules violation.
