NebraskaStarting offensive linemen Mike Huff blew out his achilles tendon while performing some speed drills in off season training.  Huff had surgery on the achilles yesterday so hopefully he will be back for the start of the season.  Sometimes it can take 9 months for it to heal completely though.

We wish Mike the best in his recovery.  With the injury to Huff, some of the younger playes like Keith Williams will see more time with the first and second teams for spring ball.

NebraskaNebraska defensive end Barry Turner heads a list of six returning Huskers who required offseason surgery and won’t be ready when spring football practice starts in March.  Turner underwent shoulder surgery after the Cotton Bowl. The junior-to-be is the expected starter at the open-side defensive end slot next season after backing up Jay Moore the past two seasons. He was a freshman All-American in 2005.

Nebraska coach Bill Callahan said the following players also won’t be ready for contact until preseason practice starts in August: offensive lineman Jacob Hickman (knee); cornerback Corey Young (shoulder); defensive tackles Seth Jensen and Craig Roark (both shoulders); and tight end Mike McNeill (shoulder).

Also, Callahan confirmed that center Chad Roark, Craig’s brother and a transfer from Oklahoma, is no longer with the team. Back problems have ended Roark’s playing career and he is expected to attend East Central Oklahoma in his hometown of Ada.

NebraskaOn Sunday, the Nebraska Basketball team got a full dose of playing without center Aleks Maric.  In the morning shootaround, Maric’s balky left hip flared up again, leaving him limping noticeably.

With the 6-foot-11 junior and his 19.4 points and 7.4 rebounds on the bench, the Huskers went on to thump Alabama A&M 82-55 before 6,026 fans at the Devaney Center.

But Maric’s status for this week’s three-game Rainbow Classic in Honolulu remains unknown.

Nebraska coach Doc Sadler, before a question could be finished about how often he holds his breath on Maric’s health, blurted out, “Every day.”

“He has been practicing so well,” Sadler said. “It’s the first week that he had been practicing a whole practice, and I thought he had gotten into some better condition.

Nebraska Bowl GameThe Big 12 has announced that the Huskers will either play in the Fiesta Bowl (buy tickets) if they beat Oklahoma on Saturday or in the Cotton Bowl (buy tickets) if they happen to lose to Oklahoma.  Either way, they will be playing in a New Years Day game which is a success for the team.

Of course, we all want the Huskers to win the Big 12 Championship and move onto the Fiesta Bowl against a likely opponent of Boise State.  One reason I don’t want to play in the Cotton Bowl is because the damn game starts so early in the morning lol.  How are we supposed to get our drink on and watch our beloved Huskers play when the game starts so damn early!  I don’t like beer with my cherrios ya know :)

Either way, lets hope for a Huskers win in the Big 12 Championship!

NebraskaThe Nebraska men’s basketball team, in desperate need of some good news, got some Monday afternoon.

Junior center Aleks Maric practiced for the first time since having his appendix removed 11 days ago and is expected to play in tonight’s season-opener against the University of Nebraska at Omaha.

Getting Maric back for this game is huge, let him play 20 minutes or so and hopefully regain his conditioning over the next few weeks.  With Maric in there, I predict the Huskers will win by 8, without him they lose by 4-5.

NebraskaSteve Octavien who has been bothered by a hamstring injury most this season was given his blackshirt yesterday and should be ready to go on Saturday against Texas.  Nebraska is going to need his speed at the linebacker position but just how ready will he be?

Octavien reported to camp 15 lbs heavier then last year and really hasn’t showen signs of his playmaker ability that we thought he would.  The hamstring injury slowed him down evern further but Coach Callahan says that he 100% and ready to roll so we have to trust coach that the puts the best players out there to compete.  Good luck Octavien, we all want to see you cracking some longhorns on Saturday!
