UT RECRUIT NOW WANTS TO CONSIDER TIGERS

A friend of mine who is a University of Tennessee graduate and huge Vols football fan sent me the following link today about an offensive lineman from South Aiken High School in S.C. who had originally committed to UT and has backed off since the staff shakeup.

NEBRASKA FOOTBALL NEWS AND BOWL UPDATE

The matchup between the Clemson Tigers and the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Konica-Minolta Gator Bowl kicks off in just 16 days and I'm still surprised at the lack of Nebraska football news and on the matchup in general. The Nebraska football program has a strong tradition and quite a large fan base that I presume wants to keep up with the latest on their team's bowl preparations, how they match up with Clemson and so on. I certainly understand that both teams are going to keep things close to the vest and not give the opponent any advantage but it seems odd that there is so very little coming out of Nebraska or from the national media. So, for your enjoyment and to save you the time it takes to search dozens of sites covering Nebraska football and national sports sites, here is a couple of things to check out: (Note- links do not open in a new page, so use your back button to return to this page).

RESULTS OF THE LATEST POLL

Thank you to everyone who voted in the most recent poll concerning the ideal kickoff time for a home conference game. The overwhelming majority voted for 3:30 p.m., while 7:30 p.m. came in second. Not surprisingly, 1 p.m. and noon kickoffs were not very popular, combining for a grand total of only 10% of the overall vote. Be sure to check out the newest poll on how the current state of the economy may affect your 2009 game attendance and donor contributions.
