1. Pardon me while my mind wonders.
In Mike Riley's most recent interview with his friend Kerry Eggers of the Portland Tribune (click here), the third-year Nebraska football coach refers to the Huskers perhaps ramping up their recruiting department with a novel idea -- at least I think it's a novel idea.
"With the advent and use of social media in recruiting, we need somebody doing something 24/7," Riley says. "We're in the process of putting that together to help us in the acquisition of talent."
The "24/7" part of his comment moves to the top of my list of news to pursue.
