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

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.

Andy Christensen Not Guilty of Sexual Assault

A jury found Nebraska football player Andy Christensen not guilty yesterday of first degree sexual assault. The offensive lineman had been accused of reaching under the skirt of a 23-year-old woman at a Lincoln bar in early March and fondling her. He was suspended from the team following the March incident. Last month, Christensen pleaded guilty to resisting arrest and criminal mischief in connection with the sexual-assault case. He’ll likely be sentenced on those misdemeanor charges in November. The 22-year-old Christensen is a graduate of Bennington High School. He started three games at left guard last season before suffering a season-ending knee injury.

What’s up Tommie Frazier?

“What does Tommie Frazier do now?” That was one of the questions raised last week when we saw him in a small town bar. We know he doesn’t coach for Doane anymore. I didn’t recognize him as he’s put on a few pounds since he played football for NU, but I don’t have room to talk as I’ve packed on a couple pounds in the last decade as well. The next question raised was “what’s he doing here?” as he was the only black guy in the small all-white community. And the only answer I heard was that he was “seeing” a gal from that area. Well, the gal he left with is married, so if that’s true and that’s the gal, that is totally not cool. And I thought he was married? Anyway, I never personally got to meet him. If I would have, I would have asked for his autograph, asked him what he’s doing now, and why he was in town.
