Austin Allen’s first game in Memorial Stadium was a tough pill to swallow. His final one wasn’t any easier.  Oz, a then-junior for the Aurora Huskies, made one of the more impressive high school catches I’ve seen on the right sideline with his team down 25-21 on a 4th and 16.

Everything finally started to fall into place for Austin Allen in Badgerland.  Well, except for one thing.  The Nebraska co-captain had the game of his life Saturday, catching seven passes for 143 yards in Saturday’s road game at Wisconsin, a single game school record for a tight end.

It’s been no secret in our household the Betterhalf and I don’t like the same TV shows. That’s why I have been watching some old western reruns such as Gunsmoke, Bonanza and even a few late night flicks featuring John Wayne, Audie Murphy and other stars now deceased.
