Today's the day.
Greg Sharpe has had August 31 circled since his cancer diagnosis in April.
@BTNJourney profiles the legendary voice of the @Huskers' path to the booth for @HuskerFootball's season opener.
🧵🚨 Farm Credit Fraud from A to B to C:
— Exhibit A —
Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell has served on the Senate Ag Committee for 40 years; and consider the trajectory of American agriculture since 1984.
As a general rule, the U.S. Farm Credit Administration only reports to the House and Senate Ag Committees, who have played quite a role in this; as approval of the President’s nominees to the U.S. Farm Credit Board must ultimately be confirmed by the Senate Ag Committee.
Yet somehow, even as we speak now, there is only one member of the three-person Farm Credit Board who is currently serving in a legitimate term; that being President Biden’s appointee, FCA Chairman Vincent Logan.
Prior to our filing a Writ of Mandamus in March to require President Biden to nominate a full Farm Credit Board, there had not been a full panel serving in their legitimate terms since 2019.
But what we now know is the Senate Ag Committee refused to allow President Trump’s 2019 and 2020 nominees to the Farm Credit Board to have so much as a confirmation hearing.
They stalled for two years and returned Trump’s nominee back to him on January 3, 2021; passing that nomination to President Biden, who ultimately named Logan to the FCA Board in 2022, still leaving two open seats at the time.
Logan would be confirmed to the U.S. Farm Credit Board, with no opposition, almost immediately — quite the contrast to Brown’s treatment in 2019-20.
And that is where this gets interesting …

Three and a half seasons and 40 episodes of Legends, and I’ve never highlighted a player who never made it to the #NFL
Until now.
This player is that special. His name is Tommie Frazier and, for four years with @HuskerFootball, he captivated the nation with a breathtaking ability to make the big play from the quarterback position.
A life threatening blood clot issue in his legs cut Tommie’s football career short before he ever could step foot on a NFL gridiron. But if you watched @TouchdownTommie, you know he is a Legend who could’ve changed the game at the highest level if given the chance. And if you didn’t get to see him play, I got you with this week’s episode.
