Nebraska Cornhuskers Football - Gimme Red 'Til I'm Dead!
Despite having just two wrestlers find the podium at the U20 US Open, Nebraska’s young talent was on display this weekend with a number of wrestlers posting impressive performances in both Greco-Roman and freestyle. Nebraska’s newest commit for its 2026 recruiting class, Lincoln Sledzianowski showed that he was an absolute gem of a pick up […]
Considering that both teams demonstrated offensive firepower the past couple of games, today’s 3-0 Nebraska win was out of character for this series. It happened in large part to outstanding pitching from starting pitchers and the respective bullpens. Gavin Blachowicz rebounded from his rough start last weekend and pitched into the seventh inning, giving up six […]
The Nebraska Wrestling Training Center put on quite the display this weekend at the Senior level in both freestyle and Greco-Roman. The Huskers had five wrestlers entered at the Senior US Open, and all five found the podium against a field filled with the best in the country. Not only did they all place, Nebraska […]
After a slow start last night, the Cornhusker offense did not waste much time finding its groove today. The bottom half of the lineup teed off on Illini righty starter Mitch Dye in the second inning, putting three runs up on the score board and Nebraska never looked back. Jett Buck led it off with a […]
Our beloved Emmett Johnson was selected in the fifth round, the 161st pick overall by the Kansas City Chiefs. I know the Chiefs fans out there are thrilled that Emmitt is going to be on their team. On the other hand there are those who hate the Chefs. Are you going to start rooting for […]
Nebraska softball played their last regular season home series this weekend before going on the road to Penn State for their last regular season series, overall. In another weekend, impacted by weather, the Huskers played their senior night game on Saturday afternoon to beat out the rain coming in both Saturday night and Sunday. The […]
The NFL Draft is supposed to be a celebration of a program’s ability to develop talent, a moment where years of recruiting, coaching, and player growth culminate on one of football’s biggest stages. For Nebraska, however, it has increasingly become an uncomfortable mirror. As this year’s draft unfolds, Nebraska players are once again largely absent […]
The Friday night starts have been an issue for the Huskers of late. Really only the Indiana series opener has gone the way Nebraska wanted out of the last 6 Fridays. They’ve had some big time comebacks, but living that life will eventually get you burned by a less talented team. “I didn’t have us […]
The flags moved some, but the trees didn’t. The weather was nice and sunny in the 60’s. The Huskers were coming off of three consecutive games in double figures. And not a single ball left the yard in either game. There were ooh’s and aaah’s four or five times including one blast by Jordy Frahm […]
The headline really does tell the story today. Jordy Frahm plunked Iowa’s leadoff hitter and allowed a run-scoring double down the third-base line to their second which put Iowa up 1-0. The next Iowa base-runner would not reach until the top of the 6th inning with the Hawkeyes trailing 7-1. Bahl retired 15 Iowa hitters […]
As expected, the Nebraska Board of Regents approved the Big Red Rebuild Project, the $600 million Memorial Stadium renovation that will begin in 2027 or sometime. I did an article about this a few days ago where I called it a “no-brainer” decision. Here’s the video I did, in case you haven’t seen it. Here […]
The Huskers have a few current wrestlers and a number of future wrestlers registered at the U20 US Open this weekend in the first step to making the U20 World Team in freestyle. Nebraska will be led by presumptive starters Jake Hockaday at 65 kg and Nikade Zinkin at 70 kg. Hockaday and Zinkin both […]
Iowa comes to town this weekend a shadow of the team who finished 6th in the Big 10 in 2025 with a 15-7 record, The missing piece? Hawkeye ace Jalen Adams who graduated after posting a 25-6 record with a 2.19 ERA and a 1.080 WHIP. Check the Iowa notes below and you will see […]

It’s always a weird time of year doing these things. Yes, there are still plenty to talk about with Husker athletics, but not having something every day makes it a lot more difficult. Other than that, there is a hodgepodge of things going on, but when your teams suck (Bulls and Flames), the playoffs just […]
Anyone who saw the original Rocky remembers this sage piece of advice from Apollo Creed’s (and later Rocky’s) legendary trainer Duke. He was so impressive at delivering speeches and advice such as this that in Rocky IV after Duke’s pre-training monologue, Stallone said, “Thanks, Tony,” using the actor’s real name and it was left in […]
The most expensive stadium is the one you don’t build today. I saw that line somewhere and it stuck with me, because it captures exactly what I think about the Big Red Rebuild — the $600 million renovation of Memorial Stadium that’s about to land in front of the Board of Regents. I don’t see […]
At the Senior level, Nebraska has seven contenders who are hoping to punch their tickets to Final X where Team USA determines its lineup for the World Championships — led by current assistant coach James Green and recent Huskers Ridge Lovett and Brock Hardy. Outside of Green, the six other Huskers entered at the Senior […]
Coming into this one, a battle between top-20 ranked teams, one had to figure that both teams would come out throwing punches. After their game a couple of weeks back, one would hope that would be figuratively, not literally. Tucker Timmerman took the mound for his first start since Penn State last season. The boy from Beatrice […]
Join us tonight at 8pm CST and listen to Mylie and I crow a bit on tonight’s episode of Husker Heat. It doesn’t guarantee them anything, but Nebraska attaining the #1 summit in a major poll for the first time in program history is big news.
