Scott Frost Day News: Tired, Husker Volleyball Players Earn More Awards, and $1.5 million shoes

The other day, someone at school mentioned seeing a meme or Tik Tok or something about being March tired and it’s only October. I felt this in my bones.

This year is hard. Harder than last year, even.

I mention this, not to complain, but to explain why I am too tired to give you more.

Here are your Flakes.
