Today was the first day of the Big 12 Media Day down in Kansas City and the Nebraska Cornhuskers were one of the first teams that talked.  Bo Pelini, Joe Ganz, Matt Slausen, and Barry Turner all made the trip to media days.  I don’t know how much thought you can put into the talk out of the players mouths as they aren’t always telling the truth at these events before the season starts.  However, there was some things that Coach Pelini mentioned that we should talk about here.

First off there are four recruits that are not on the active roster because they do not have the qualifying test scores at this time to gain acceptance into the university.  Antonio Bell, David Grant, Justin Rogers, and David Whitmore are all not listed.  Coach Pelini did say the players are working towards those test scores but he is unsure if they will make it in time.

Pelini also mentioned that Anthony Blue is still injured with his torn acl injury.  He will not be ready for camp in a couple of weeks but hopefully soon after he will get back into drills.  Highly touted recruit Baker Steinkuhler has been playing on the defensive line this summer but the coaching staff still aren’t sure where he will line up once fall camp opens.  Coach mentioned that the defense as a team really needs to step it up if they want to compete in the Big 12 Conference.  I think a lot of time is going to be spent on the defensive side of the ball in camp.

Plenty of reporters noticed how slimmed down Matt Slausen was.  Slausen says he is down to a size 40 waist and would like to get down to a 38 but his hips are naturally just to large.  Hopefully a slimmer Slausen will be greater things out of him in the upcoming season.

Joe Ganz had the best joke of the day when asked about looking bigger in the upper body and running the ball a lot more the season.  He cracked a joke “I’m Tim Tebow, baby.”

So what is your outlook on the Huskers upcoming season?  I can’t wait for camp to open up in the next few weeks and see what kind of team will be out on the field.  I have my season tickets and can’t wait for the kickoff!  If you need Nebraska Football Tickets we always send our readers to StubHub!  It is where fans buy and sell tickets and where all transactions are 100% guranteed!

Today there was a press conference that talked about upcoming spring football which will start on Wednesday for the Nebraska Football players.  After listening to the interviews it sounds like everyone is ready to get started and have a new look on the upcoming season.

Coach Pelini said right now they are trying to build a foundation and the players are doing very well with it.  They are doing great in the weight room and conditioning program and they all believe in each other and the coaching staff.  That right there is a going to be the foundation for this football team.  So far the players and coaches are all beliving in the same thing and that is going to make them better come next season.

Three players will be held out of spring ball and they are Anthony Blue, Kenny Wilson, and Ndamukong Suh.  They should all be back when regular practices kick off reports are saying.  Wilson might not ever be the same type of player however as he is still trying to come back from his broken leg.

Players that once packed on pounds are shedding those pounds to play at lighter weights and move around faster.  Matt Slauson and Zack Potter have both trimmed down and should play better at their lighter weights in the upcoming season.  We could see Pierre Allen also playing at a ligher weight to come off the rush end.

Spring practice will start on Wednesday, and the Red/White spring game will be played on April 16th.  So far there have been over 40,000 tickets sold for the spring game!  Contact the university if you don’t have your tickets yet.

Nebraska is going to be without one of their returning cornerbacks this spring and possibly part of the 2008 season as Anthony Blue will need to have surgery on a knee that he hurt during winter conditioning.  Rumors around Lincoln are saying he possibly tore his MCL and ACL but no official announcement has been released on what the exact injury is.

Blue was a true freshman last year and played in all 12 games for the Huskers.  He was expected to compete for a starting cornerback position this year as the Huskers lost Cortney Grixby, Zack Bowman, and Andre Jones at the position.
