ESPN College Football

Posted by ESPN.com's Tim Griffin

It's the end of a long grueling week for me after the media days. I'm still having flashbacks about too many coaching clichés and too much Dr Pepper after I finally got home last night.  

But there were a nice collection of links across the blogosphere today to finish my week.

There is one that I bet will provide a little fodder for my friends in Nebraska.

Enjoy the weekend.
