Things I know, and things I think I know (midweek edition):
Nebraska assistant coach Ryan Held checks in weekly with Omar Manning, the incoming Husker wide receiver from Kilgore (Texas) College.
Or shall we say Manning will be "incoming" if he does what's necessary academically to join NU sometime this summer.
"Coach Held's just checking to make sure Omar's doing his classroom work, making sure everything's going well," says Peter Hopkins, Kilgore's offensive coordinator. "Coach Held's on top of it, for sure."
Because Kilgore (population 13,000) is located in extreme east Texas, it'd be a stretch to think Hopkins could have an accurate feel for the level of anxiety in the Nebraska football fan base at the moment.
