The top story in Nebraska Cornhuskers news for this week and likely this month is the mystery event that the university announced for this fall.

Nebraska Cornhuskers fans worldwide were fired up when the university made the announcement. Just what it could be isn’t really known yet, but there have been some educated guesses floating around social media.

All Nebraska would say is that there will be an announcement of a “special event” in the fall that is big enough for Governor Pillen to attend the press conference shedding light on the situation. Just what the event will be is set to be announced later today at 1:30 pm

The press conference will be live-streamed on Huskers.com, so those who want to see what is coming down the pike this fall can watch what the Nebraska Cornhuskers have up their sleeve.

My money is on a Terrence Crawford fight. Some have said it will be in Memorial Stadium, but PBA seems to be a more natural venue. Of course, for it to be big enough for the governor to be at the announcement, it would have to be a title fight. It’s also possible that the school will be announcing some stadium upgrades.
