Steven M. Sipple: Tip of the cap to Bill Busch, who pulled off one of rarest recruiting feats ever

Don't even try to tell me you've heard of this happening in college football.

It simply doesn't happen. There's too much that works against it happening.

Here's the deal, though: Bill Busch tends to make things happen. He's a 4 a.m. riser and an all-day grinder. To say he's enthusiastic about what he does in this world is an understatement. He basically willed his way into being a college football coach in the early 1990s, going so far as to buy — on his own dime — the same coaching uniform worn by the Nebraska staff, even though he wasn't technically part of that staff.
