BREAKING NEWS! Husker football wide receiver Kenny Bell has been forced to honor a bet made with his brother and thus, his trademark afro has been removed.

Sources indicate that security has been dispatched to promptly move Anya to Husker football’s safe house location. Another source indicated that FauxPelini’s twitter account has been encrypted to the point that its handler has to call in at the top of the hour to obtain a new password. We’ll continue to follow this story as it develops.

Update: Husker football head coach Bo Pelini weighs in –
