I had posted , that I needed some help, and suggestions for my first game ever to see the huskers play in Lincoln. I absolutely loved it. I took a couple of suggestions, and a couple I kinda winged it. Turns out I wound up going to Misty's, on Havelock for the Friday band pep rally stuff. Was so awesome. I frickin loved it. Wound up going to cultiva coffee for brkfst in Saturday morning. Someone suggested to make some friends. Me and the wife did that. Had some good conversation, and hung out for a few. Wasn't able to make it to any tailgate stuff, BUT instead chose to go into the stadium early to take in all the pre game stuff, take pics, etc. After the game, we picked another suggested place, single barrel for one of their steaks. Was really, really good. I really liked Lincoln. We got in on Thursday so we took some night pics at the stadium. Had coffee at The Mill. Friday morning it was brkfst at Virginia's cafe. Neat place , good food. Went to the capitol...governors house. Just enjoyed all of it. Thanks a bunch y'all. I appreciate it.

Ps. I would have loved a win too, lol.

Lots of people super jazzed about the team last week because of effort despite the L. How was it this week? Was the effort good enough to still be excited? Just want to know so I can gauge how I should feel after another L.

Didn't ask for recruiting questions earlier this week, so the mailbag will be up tomorrow. Drop your questions below!

Per KETV, Nebraska freshman offensive lineman Gibson Pyle was arrested for a suspected DUI early Saturday morning. Had a BAC of 0.109, and was taken into custody for driving under the influence, first offense, per the report.

Pyle is a freshman from Klein (Tex.) Cain who's played in one game this season. Former three-star prospect that had earned praise from the coaching staff in the spring and projects to factor into the guard rotation down the line, depending on his status moving forward.

Caught up with four-star TE Chase Loftin. The Millard South standout was back in Lincoln for an unofficial visit this weekend for the loss to UCLA. Several things did stand out to the in-state player about the trip.

"Spending time with the coaching staff, how they recruit me and the atmosphere in the stadium stood out to me," Loftin said.

Coming out of the visit, Loftin is still committed to FSU. He also told me that he is looking into taking visits to Missouri and Texas A&M (both schools were considered heavily the first go-around).

One other note to pass along is that Loftin does plan on being back in Tallahassee for the Seminoles rivalry game with Florida. It does not sound like a flip is coming soon but Loftin is certainly exploring his options to make sure he made the right decision for himself.
