By Andy Purvis On Sept. 19, the Cornhuskers will hit the road for the first time during the 2009 season and venture to Blacksburg, VA to play Virginia Tech. To say that this will be a monumental challenge for the Cornhuskers would minimize the actual task they face that day. VT Offense vs. the Huskers Defense

By James Hawkins For the Hokies, expectations run extremely high, and they are well-built to do it. With a strong defensive front and experience at skill-positions, the Virginia Tech Hokies have all the parts to make a convincing title run, but only if they are used to their full potential.

 VA Virginia Tech has earned commitments from six state of Virginia prospects so far in the 2010 class. Each one of these commits is in my Pre-Summer Top 30. The Hokies are off to a great start and are in heavy contention for other Top 30 members heading ...

By Patrick Hite Coming in to this season, most people had the ACC as one of the worst BCS conferences in the country.

Tasteless? Sure. Inappropriate for a high school classroom? Likely. But school officials were so freaked out that this honor student might suddenly go postal on them that they decided to call the police. He was arrested and now faces up to 30 days in jail for what he wrote.

By jsullum@reason.com (Jacob Sullum) It's hard to have a fruitful discussion of whether gun laws should be changed in light of the Virginia Tech massacre without knowing what they currently require.
