Please help roll out the Big Red carpet for ESPN's "College GameDay," which will make its first appearance in Lincoln since Sept. 15, 2007. In case you've forgotten, Lee Corso picked up a corncob that day -- to the delight of Husker fans -- then spiked it and donned a Trojan helmet and chest plate. Boos ensued. USC then spiked NU, 49-31. What a party.

Also, please give a warm welcome to Rick Ross, the rapper who will perform Friday night at Pinnacle Bank Arena presumably before Fred Hoiberg formally presents his first Nebraska basketball team to the masses.
