Corn Flakes: Husker Quarterback Analysis and the World’s Tallest Nutcracker
You know it is late July when the Husker news feeds turn to football speculation, pre-season power rankings, and depth chart predictions.

Nebraska put a final bow on what may be the greatest transfer portal haul in the history of college wrestling.

Husker Wrestling: Who Have Been Nebraska’s Most Potent NCAA Point Scorers? Brock Hardy Just Jumped to #2
Over the years, Nebraska has had some potent point-scorers at the NCAA Championships, led by the great Jordan Burroughs — Nebraska’s only two-time NCAA champion.

Friday Flakes: Based Off of One List, Nebraska Will Face Five of Top 21 QBs in the Country in 2026
I for one love lists. I particularly love off-season lists. It helps pass the time and it is great source of content and debate. Regarding Nebraska football in 2026 we already knew that the Huskers will be facing a gauntlet of a schedule. They will be playing three of the top five teams in the […]
Five Heart Podcast: Husker Beer, Big Ten Quarterbacks, and Nebraska to the SEC?

New faces to look out for ahead of the 2026 season
Before the pads come on and the speculation gives way to reality, one thing is clear: Nebraska will look very different when it takes the field in 2026. Matt Rhule has attacked the transfer portal, supplemented it with a small but talented freshman class, and reshaped key position groups that desperately needed an injection of […]
Thursday Flakes: College Doldrums, Conference Media Days and More
Ok, I’ll be brave enough to say it…but how incredibly pointless, stupid, meaningless and laughable are conference media days? I don’t care, every coach thinks their conference is the best, or their team is going to have a great season. Grown men pick at each other like little kids while commissioners say stupid crap that […]

July is the the offseason…of all Husker sports. It also represents the start of the “new year”.

Friday Flakes: Nebraska Football’s Running Back Room Gets Good News but Still a Lot of Unknowns
A couple of weeks ago we learned that one of the projected starters at running back for Nebraska, Mekhi Nelson, was arrested in Florida for aggravated battery involving a pregnant woman.

NEBRASKA REACTS Survey Results: All Hail Ameer for the Greatest Escape
So for this week’s poll, I found myself recalling Ameer’s catch & run and thinking as bad things had been in the past decade or more, there were afternoons where they were a razor’s edge from being so much worse. So I deceided to put it to everyone – what was Husker football’s greatest escape? […]

HUSKERS SOFTBALL 2026 Part 4: The 2027 Rebuild – Who’s Coming Back?
Last season, this column was basically a celebration of the return of seven of eight starters in the field and Jordy Frahm along with huge bench pieces and nearly all other pitchers.

Thursday Flakes: World Cup Final Set, The Open Begins and More
Watching the England vs. Argentina Semifinal match in the World Cup yesterday was absolutely demoralizing. I like England, don’t particularly care for plenty of Argentina’s team, and am “meh” on how I feel about Messi. The one thing I couldn’t stand with England was how they went about that match. The saying goes “If you […]

HUSKERS SOFTBALL 2026 Part 3: What’s Happened Since Oklahoma City?
This was the scene after Jordy Frahm led off the WCWS elimination game against Texas with a solo shot to the Huskers’ preferred landing area at the bottom of the center field bleachers in Devon Park. For 5 1/3 innings it was enough to keep the Huskers on top as Frahm no-hit the Longhorns. Then […]
Corn Flakes: Two Huskers Taken in MLB Draft, and the Governor is Back for LOVB Next Season
Two Husker pitchers were selected in the major league baseball draft. Somehow, the nation’s top shortstop in college baseball, Dylan Carey, was not. Don’t get me wrong, both Carson Jasa and Ty Horn were deserving of their selections. I am flummoxed as to why Carey was not selected (disclaimer: I am not a major league […]
