We will say goodbye to Randy Gregory as he is now preparing for the draft. Check out our story on his leaving and new Husker coach Danny Langsdorf as OC here. We also said goodbye to Bo Pelini this year but we don’t have to say goodbye to Faux Pelini thank goodness. In case you didn’t hear, he’s going to continue his Twitter parody account. He also won the 2014 Most Interesting Internet Person of the Year award.
Congrats to @FauxPelini for being the @ForTheWin 2014 internet person of the year! http://t.co/UC1umo48kV pic.twitter.com/Jfr31M42Ni

De’Mornay Pierson-El finished the games with an NU record 8 catches in a bowl game. He’s going to be great for the Huskers! Tommy Armstrong Jr. also set an NU bowl game record for passing yards surpassing Joe Ganz’s record in 2009 Gator Bowl. Here’s a couple of more quick hits from Twitter and the Huskers:

Matt Snyder, a 6′ 5″ Tight end has de-committed from OSU and is committed to NU now. Should be an interesting add to Reilly.
