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!

*Former Husker Zach Wiegert is a business player in Lincoln’s Haymarket Arena project.

*The initial Lombardi Watch list include Pierre Allen but not Jared Crick.

*BRN argues that Bo Pelini’s recruits are beginning to make their biggest impact. We withhold comment on the 2008 class - it appears to have more busts than pleasant surprises - because of the short time window Bo and Co. had in putting it together. The 2009 class appears more promising.

*Like Antelope Roast? CN has a recipe.

*The Mountain West just might strike first in the conference expansion wars.

*One of the bowls not approved? The Christmas Bowl.

*Excuse our language, Notre Dame, but what the hell is this?
