No biggie. I've been wrong many times myself. It just so happens that I was at the Sunday game last year vs. Minnesota when we swept them. I remember folks talking about it being the first sweep since 2010 at the time. Otherwise I probably would've just took your word for it.

We swept Minnesota last year @ Haymarket.

Added new 2014 LHP commit, Jake McSteen to first post.

Apologies in advance if I'm reading your post wrong, but it is my understanding that Atewe is a HS prospect, not a JUCO prospect? Correct me if I'm wrong? No, no apologies necessary. My mistake. I worded that poorly. Somehow in my feeble mind, I was thinking because he was at a prep school, he would have LESS than a full four years available. Regardless, in no way should I have labeled him a juco. But my question remains..........IF we sign him, is that snag a better answer for us than Akoy? Thanks for the clarification. I'm exercising the "wait-and-see" approach with the Atewe/Akoy comparison. It probably depends on the type of fan you are? If you're the type that follows recruiting closely and subscribes to the star ranking system, then Akoy is seen as the better prospect. While I wish Akoy the best at Louisville, I'm excited to see what Miles' GATA philosophy can do for Atewe? Hopefully it's a good fit? Fans will forget missing on Akoy if Atewe shows the ability to play within the system and wins us some games in the process. Like I said, wait-and-see...

Per Huskball's suggestion, I merged the last 20 posts from this thread to this thread for continuity.

We installed field turf in 1999, correct? Werent' we also the first school to use astro-turf before then? When did that start? Correct on field turf. No on astroturf though. I had to look it up and this is what I found on astroturf. According to that link, Indiana State was the first college to install astroturf.

Off the top of my head: -- First school to install field turf for football -- First school to have instant replay video boards for football -- One of the first schools to employ a Sports Nutrition staff (last I heard we are one of only 5 schools with multiple people on staff) -- Soon to be first school to have a dedicated research facility studying concussions and athletic performance

When you consider the numerous "firsts" in Husker Athletics history, now we have this for basketball @ Pinnacle Bank Arena: Old LJS article about new scoreboard.
