ESPN announced yesterday that the Nebraska Cornhuskers are a school who is falling apart in high school recruiting like a Jenga tower with a bacon treat embedded in a family room full of Golden Retriever pups. Now, if I’m honest, in this day and age of the transfer portal, high school recruiting and the development of those kids means waaaaay less than it did even three years ago. Unless... |

Thursday Flakes: NBA Draft, Nebraska and Tomb Fungus
| Photo by Erica Denhoff/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Don’t forget the joke of the week… Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve seen a few movie trailers come out that I’m very interested to see.

Another is “The Naked Gun” with Liam Neeson being Frank Drebin Jr. That movie looks to be bringing the original style of those movies... |
