Welcome to Husker Heartbeat - a sampling of links and quick wit to start your morning! Keep checking each morning, Monday-Friday, for new links! We look for the offbeat as well as the straightforward - so don’t just think of us as a typical link farm!

A quick abbreviation key FYI: OWH=Omaha World-Herald, LJS=Lincoln Journal-Star, CN=Corn Nation, BRN=Big Red Network, HI=Huskers Illustrated, BRR=Big Red Report. If we need to add more - we will. Others, like ESPN, are self-explanatory.

Cool? Cool!

*Texas fans are ticked at NU…aw.

*Colorado continues insanity as it pertains to non-conference scheduling and remains open to still playing the Huskers. Does CU ever learn?

*Possibly too late, Oklahoma tries to patch together the Big 12.

*Former USC coach Pete Carroll denies knowing Reggie Bush got thousands of dollars during his time with the Trojans. Here’s Dr. Saturday’s breakdown of all the violations.
