[Husker] Post season projections

[Mike Jaixen]

Looks like Scout.com got it wrong. (guess what,
another online recruiting service getting things
wrong.  Who'da thunk that???)  The press conference is
still on for 6 pm in Ames.

But Brian Kelly is staying at Central Michigan,
according to the Des Moines Register.

The Pelini quote is also made to the Register, but in
a different context (not annoyed, just a denial).  Of
course, Pelini usually sounds annoyed to the media...

Radio reports locally have Texas d-coordinator Gene
Chizik being the choice in Ames, for what it's worth.
