FOOTBALL UPDATE:

While the GATOR BOWL can't make the invitation to the Huskers official until after the Big 12 Title Game, the Big XII is now allowing NU to sell their allotment of 12,500 tickets, starting at $50. Tickets may be purchased on-line at Huskers.com or by calling the Nebraska Athletic Ticket Office at 1-800-8-BIG RED.

The Big XII is making noises that suggest that Kansas City may not be in the running to host future Big XII Title games. One dispute is the condition of the field, which is controlled by the Chiefs. Prior to the KU vs MU game last week, the center part of the field was resodded and offered excellent footing but outside the numbers, the surface had players slipping and falling. Look for the two-tone field on Saturday. After getting the tax payers to fund a $300 million stadium improvement, the Chiefs mights cost Kansas City the chance to host future title games, just because they saved some money by doing a patch job on the field.

Ndamukong Suh says he'll be back for his senior season. If he returns, he will be doing as the reigning first-team All-Big 12 player.
