Oh ya, it is finally game time!  One thing I want to know is, is Lee Corso drunk lol?  Did anyone else see him on the sidelines?  Also, why is ABC talking about Reggie Bush? He isn’t even on the team anymore, lets get to the games!!!

GO BIG RED!!!!

The NCAA Clearinghouse on Thursday denied Nebraska basketball recruit Roburt Sallie’s appeal for eligibility, which prevents him from accepting a scholarship and joining the team.  It’s really a bad move on the NCAA preventing a student from his scholarship and attending school. 

The NCAA says the reason the denied the appeal is because they did not get paperwork about some courses that Roburt took at Laurinburg (N.C.) Institute nearly two years ago.

Without Sallie, Nebraska will have 11 scholarship players (two under the NCAA limit)

Kurt Mann is going to miss his second straight game after coming down with a viral infection last week.  There have been rumors going around that it is mono but Coach Callahan hasn’t officialy said what the virus is.

Brett Byford will get the start at center on Saturday and he has a big challenge ahead of him.  Holding off that pesky USC defense!

Last season, following an outstanding career at the University of Nebraska, Gordon also earned the Golden Spikes Award, the Dick Howser Award, the Brooks Wallace Award and the ABCA Rawlings Player of the Year.

He ranked second among all minor leaguers in total bases (286) and fourth in runs scored (111). Gordon was tied for fourth in slugging percentage (.588), while finishing among the minor league leaders in home runs (tied for eighth) and RBI (tied for 10th). He was one of just five individuals in the U.S. minor league system to record at least 20 homers and 20 stolen bases.

Nebraska volleyball All-American Sarah Pavan received another honor Monday, as she was named the Big 12 Player of the Week for Sept. 4-10 by the conference office.

Another former Husker Baseball player has been called up the Major Leagues.  Kearney native, Drew Anderson was called up by the Milwaukee Brewers after hitting .333 with one home run and nine RBIs in 16 games at Nashville. He spent most of the season in Class AA Huntsville, where he hit .289 with six homers, 43 RBIs and 18 stolen bases in 108 games.

Anderson was drafted in the 24th round in 2003 after playing three seasons at NU. Anderson had not played above the Class A level before this year.

Congrats Drew!

Nebraska basketball recruit Roburt Sallie, whose playing status remains in limbo because of an NCAA Clearinghouse investigation of his grades. The Sallie family has hired attorney, Don Jackson of Montgomery, Ala who is trying to get the NCAA to let them know and hopefully get Roburt accepted so he can join the Husker Basketball team.

It doesn’t look good right now, but we can only hope for the best for Sallie and the Husker Basketball team.

The wait is finally over for former Husker pitcher Joba Chamberlain.  After being drafted in the supplemental portion of the first round (selections 31 through 44), it took quite a while for Joba and the Yankees to agree to a contract.

The contract calls for a 1.1 million signing bonus.  Joba will be able to help out his family a ton with that signing bonus.  I don’t like the Yankees myself, but will be rooting for Joba for sure!  Congrats Joba, Husker Nation is proud of you!
