Of course it’s not just murderers; for decades, Nebraska has produced manifold themes and variations on Richie Incognito.
What UD finds especially amazing is that whatever you do, the University of Nebraska will continue to celebrate you on its webpages. Look up anyone: Incognito, Povendo, Phillips, Thunder Collins… They’re all still there, worshipped as gods on the Huskers site.
With the Waco biker shootout on everyone’s mind, Nick Povendo’s a particularly interesting Nebraska product. He was actually Incognito’s backup on the University of Nebraska team! But he has now surpassed him. Povendo graduated to criminal biker gang stuff – the same stuff that shot up Waco. He’ll be on trial for murder soon.
UD asks: Why isn’t everyone talking about the University of Nebraska football team? Why aren’t we having a national discussion about what’s wrong with the state of Nebraska?

just look at never ending nightmare scenario around the tragic case of Nikko Jenkin’s and it will tell you everything you need to know about why folks here are seated at the mad-tea-party with a jumbo bag of sugarcoated red-dyed popcorn on their laps…

In all the conference realignment nonsense of recent years, the worst mistake was the Big 10’s admission of Nebraska.

mr.p like all decisions in college football they were chasing the all-mighty dollar.

@dmf, the conferences have known for decades that state tax revenues, specifically corporate, were collapsing. The logical conclusion would be that few of them will survive as their former selves. LSU’s bankruptcy is underscoring all of that, not an HBCU, not a directional, but a flagship, a football powerhouse, a charter member of the most prestigious athletic conference in America. The realignments were a preemptive move to try to retain status and income flow, leaving the lesser powers to fend for themselves. If LSU can go into default, then any team in the P5 can do so, as well. It’s gonna get funky….
