Welcome back ‘Cat fans! Much has gone on since my last update, including two practices, a D-Squad Bowl, a visit from the leader of our state, a team lunch to promote the Outback Bowl, and a huge win by our men’s basketball team.

This a great opportunity for our program to take the next step and win a bowl game. And what a better time to do it than on January 1st in Tampa, Florida. While this is such an exciting time, we have heavy hearts, as Coach Marty Long cannot prepare with us. Our team would appreciate all your thoughts and prayers for Coach Long and his family as he continues to progress from his operation. In the mean time, our Defensive Quality Control Assistant, and former NU d-lineman, Matt Clark is joining forces with Coach Hank to get the d-line coached up and ready for the game.
