Nebraska 41, Iowa 17? Louie Longshot says yes.

Bill Dunn is the editor of the Grand Island (Neb.) Independent. When I broke in at the Gazette, he was our art director. Since then, he worked in the Twin Cities and Orange County, Calif., before returning to his Nebraska home state.

Here is a sample of cartoons he has produced for the Independent. As you can see, the guy's got a lot of talent.

When Bill was at the Gazette, he did a weekly cartoon called "Scoop Longshot" that went along with predictions of games we made every week. It was very popular, and I got a big kick out of just being a part of that.

One of the Scoop Longshots I vividly remember is when Iowa was about to play Michigan and Bill drew Bo Schembechler as Little Bo Peep. I always wondered what Schembechler would have thought had he saw the Gazette's Saturday morning section as his team was riding from its Cedar Rapids hotel to Kinnick Stadium that Saturday morning. Bo was gruff, but I'll bet he would have laughed.

Before you Hawkeye fans take Louie's Iowa-Nebraska pick too seriously, now that Louie picks the Cornhuskers come rain, shine, or dust storm, as witnessed by

these previous cartoons this season that includes last week's predicted Nebraska win over Michigan. Also know that his audience is Husker fans.
