The perennial offseason hype around Nebraska football and what to do about it

The Friday mailbag is open, and we’re starting this week with a simple question: Is it OK to get excited about Nebraska football? Connor and Mitch say yes, go ahead. What’s the worst that could happen? We’re tackling a question about the 105-player roster limit. Could it lead to more opportunities for development at Nebraska? Do the Huskers have a center? Why not just build a new stadium? How has Trev Alberts’ first year gone at Texas A&M? What kind of pay day is in store for Nebraska basketball players this weekend in Las Vegas?We reminisce about long snappers, discuss the pronunciation of a new Husker’s last name and finish with a lookahead to the spring transfer portal.
