We're big in Baton Rouge
Believe it or not, the turmoil at NU has sports fans all around the country talking.
Today, Darren was interviewed by Baton Rouge's 1210 AM - The Score. He gave LSU fans some insight into what's happening in Lincoln and the chances that Bo Pelini might leave his post as Defensive Coordinator at LSU and return to Lincoln.
You can listen to the interview below. Unfortunately, their web stream was a little glitchy today and I missed the opening and some in the middle. But it's worth a listen to hear what folks outside of Nebraska are saying about the Huskers.
