Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Post says it is a surprising political shift. It is. I have read the paper twice.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorHank, it's a transfer portal move! Governors leaving their old team for the rival, in the middle of the season!
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorGovernors don't transfer.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThey just did! Imagine the Nebraska faithful in this lot if a coach walked across the field and put on the other jersey!
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThey would burn the jersey. In a lot full of grills. Fire code is a concern.
Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd honestly, both sides are fired up and everybody's tailgating on the same grass!
