((ht: journalstar.com))

As of this writing, University of Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini is resting comfortably in a Lincoln, Nebraska hospital after being taken from the stadium to the hospital via ambulance.

The Lincoln Journal-Star reports the 911 call at the stadium said Pelini was suffering from "Flu-Like Symptoms" and that Pelini's family was rushed away from the stadium early in the 3rd quarter of Saturday's game vs. Arkansas State.

He told ESPN during his halftime interview that he wasn't feeling well, but was O.K.

By the way, Nebraska won the game 42-13.

For what it is worth, Nebraska A.D Tom Osborne relayed that he was told Pelini would be fine and just needed some rest. The school released a statement from Pelini later saying "He would be at practice on Sunday."

Since it doesn't appear (Yet) that there is video of Pelini leaving via ambulance, KETV provides us with video of Osborne addressing the media after the game:

Ark State Gets $1M Payday At Nebraska

The HQ has known about all these early-season games being paydays for the team that supposedly is going to get creamed...

Savannah State, for example, is clearing in the neighborhood of $800,000 for their two beat downs in Stillwater and Tallahassee. Ess-E-Cee schools are notorious for higher paydays than the average bears and the Arkansas State-Nebraska game is no different...

Only moreso...

Howzabout a cool million for The Slinging Malzahn's to show up for their game against the Cornhuskers...???

"We believe that Arkansas State is a decent program and will provide an attractive non-conference matchup," Dr. Tom Osborne said when asked. "We probably could have gotten a lesser opponent for less money but are trying to maintain a reasonably strong schedule."

Florida Atlantic is getting a million bucks this week (to lose to Georgia) and next week (to lose to Alabama)...

In the mean time, Ark State has their head set on making Nebraska one-dimensional Saturday...
