Ndamukong Suh: the face of the franchise.

That's right, we're through with non-conference opponents--time for the meat of the offseason preview slate, and for the third consecutive year, the conference season starts with Nebraska. And as always, the week begins with a boatload of links.

2008 Summary Links! It was your cliched "tale of two seasons" for the Huskers last year. Losses to Virginia Tech, Missouri, and Texas Tech left them at 3-3 before a 6-1 finish blew expectations out of the water for 2009.

2009 Preview Links! Expectations are going through the roof.

Not since Eric Crouch caught that unforgettable flash pass from Mike Stuntz and sprinted through the Oklahoma secondary to Heisman glory has a Nebraska team defeated anyone in the Top 19 – let alone the Top 10. In fact, as I perused Phil Steele’s preseason college football magazine this month, I noticed an astounding statistic.

Since Frank Solich and the Huskers beat Bob Stoops and the Sooners 20-10 in Lincoln back in October 2001, 63 of the 65 BCS teams have defeated a team that was currently rated in the Top 19. The two that have not? Duke and Nebraska.

I enjoy the comments from youtube videos, personally ...

… always so civil and dignified. Really just a great little slice of Americana, you know?

I'm truly surprised we haven't seen a spike ...

… in message board flame war violence. With the ability to ping IP addresses and whatnot, it’s probably not too terribly difficult to find out someone’s real location and then go loco on said person.

p.s.— I say this out of ignorance and what I see in movies. Maybe it really is that difficult.
