Nebraska football fans have quite a bit of hope that the program is really on the verge of a turnaround. That and other kernels in this morning’s Go Big Read.

If there is one thing we saw from the cancellation of the Nebraska football game last night, it’s that the fans are ready for the program to be good again. Plenty of people were willing to wait out a 2 am start if that’s what it took.

Read about that and other kernels in this morning’s Go Big Read.
