Sorry for the lack of updates the last couple of days. Anyway, it is the week of the Spring Game and I can’t wait until Saturday.

Christensen will plead not guilty, attorney says - Wow, if Andy Christensen is guilty he could do anywhere between one and 50 years.

Defense to utilize Prince’s talents - Prince Amukamara really seems to enjoy playing defense. Hopefully he can provide some much needed assistance at cornerback.

Husker recruit accused of robbery - If true Josh Williams isn’t intelligent enough to be a Husker.

Lucky has unfinished business - Sounds like Lucky is really maturing. I hope he has a breakout year.

Many recruits expected at spring game - I wonder what will be going through the recruits heads when they see 70 - 80,000 fans at what amounts to a scrimmage. I have actually seen reserved seats going on eBay for around $40.

Former I-back Glenn stands out at linebacker - It will be kind of odd seeing Cody Glenn on the defensive side of the ball. I think it is a good move considering the great spring Helu is having and our needs at linebacker. At least he won’t have to change numbers.

Brooks ready to step into spotlight - Great article on WR Chris Brooks from the Lincoln Journal Star.

Obsessions of a Husker mind: Topic No. 1 - The answer to the question: Why don’t Husker defensive backs turn around and look for the ball?

Top units not likely to duel - Looks like Pelini has decided on a draft to determine teams. With a packed house it should a lot of fun to watch.

Pelini keeps focus on student in ’student-athlete’ - I wouldn’t want to get caught leaving class early (like Cody Glenn) let alone completely skipping one.

Perhaps a more fulfilling role? - Article on fullback Thomas Lawason from the Omaha World Herald.
