I thought it seemed a little funny that Mark May was rolling solo Sunday during ESPN's college football coverage. Now we know that the "world-wide sports leader" and Trev Alberts have apparently parted ways.

Check out the link below:

This may not come as a total surprise to some in the Nebraska media. One TV reporter who attempted to set up an interview with Alberts, a former Nebraska defensive end, called ESPN a couple of years ago and heard a less than glowing assessment of Alberts' personality. Apparently there was an icy relationship between Alberts and some off-air folks.

On the flip side, I know a couple of local print writers who covered Alberts while he was with the Cornhuskers, that still get along with him very well and refer to him as a good guy.

It will be interesting to see where Alberts turns up next. I know he may sometimes rub folks the wrong way with his comments, but Trev spits it the way he sees it -- even when talking about his alma mater. He's definitely better than most of the guys you'll find on the ABC, CBS, Fox Sports Net and TBS studio shows.
