Steve Sipple has a Q&A with Bo Pelini in Sunday’s Lincoln Journal Star. There are some candid comments and it’s worth a read. Some notable excerpts:

An already painful week turned excruciating for Carlo Ancelotti. After being dumped out of the Champions League midweek by former hero Jose Mourinho, Chelsea failed to rebound and dropped two valuable points at Blackburn. Manchester United edged Liverpool and now control the Premier League race.
A forlorn figure on the touchline, Carlo Ancelotti could

With Leach at the wheel I was expecting a 10 win minimum season with the guys this team has coming back in 2010. Now with Tubbs, Willis, and Brown running the show I’m in agreement it’s anywhere between 9-12 wins this year.
Very exciting to hear your take on the O-line ded, as

No Kalin Lucas?
No problem.
“Too Easy” has had his share of leg and ankle problems this season, and with two minutes left in the Spartans’ second round matchup with Greivis Vasquez and the Maryland Terrapins, he made an early exit.
State’s 5′11″ point-man Korie Lucious may have a little something to

I think your overall point is a good one. Barnes is a “system” guy especially defensively, which plays into how he overall plays the game. He wants to play a high pressure, overplay man2man scheme predicated on effort, good technique and overall quickness. Similar to Duke, but even Coach K (in fairness

If there was a college baseball poll taken today, we’d be for sure top three in that too, and most likely #1. Top three in football, basketball, and baseball is kind of good.
Too bad a&m is our equal in athletics, right whatever aggie was here last week?

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The No. 2 Texas Volleyball team downed No. 25 Texas A&M, 3-0, Wednesday night in front of a record crowd of 3,856 at Reed Arena. The 25-18, 25-14, 25-20 victory improved the Longhorns to 17-0 on the year and 12-0 in Big 12 play, while the Aggies dropped to 13-6 overall and 6-5 in league action.
With tonight’s victory, Texas earned a half-point in the annual State Farm Lone Star Showdown and now holds a 1.0-to-0 lead in this year’s standings. This marks the sixth year of the Showdown, the all-sports athletic competition between Texas and Texas A&M that was created to give the aggie fans something to do.

“Lucas, Hamilton, Brown, and to some extent, Bradley. And that’s not counting James.”
I don’t understand why people don’t include Bradley as an upper level three point threat. He may not be the 5-feet-from-behind-the-volleyball-line shooter shooter than Hamilton and Lucas are, but every time I’ve seen the guy he rarely misses wide-open threes from the line. I was really impressed with his shooting from every location on the court, in fact.
On that note, if I’m doing a quick rundown of UT like the linky above, I’m most likely going to mention the addition of the number one recruit in ESPN’s rankings to a position of weakness that is probably the best defensive player in the nation and early favorite to be freshman of the year in the conference. Just a thought…but that’s just me.
