Trev Takes the Helm Wednesday, April 29, 2009

Trev Alberts became the new athletic director at Nebraska-Omaha on Wednesday. Something that would’ve seemed like a pipe dream three years ago, let alone three weeks ago.
Say what you will about his lack of experience, the guy can command a room. You had media members from Lincoln making the drive. More than [...]

Are All These Guys Better Than Ganz? Monday, April 27, 2009

I’m not saying Joe Ganz will be an NFL Pro-Bowler. Nor am I saying he will even make an NFL roster or even the practice squad.

Glenn First Husker Taken Sunday, April 26, 2009

According to the so-called experts, offensive tackle Lydon Murtha would likely be the first Husker to go in the NFL Draft.

Why Trev Alberts Makes Sense Friday, April 24, 2009

He will undoubtedly become the next athletic director at Nebraska-Omaha. I’ll throw in my two cents on the situation.

With regards to Trev, it’s a good fit. It’s not a dream fit, but it’s good. Nebraska-Omaha needs a salesman. Trev Alberts could sell the Pope a hamburger on a Lenten Friday. [...]
