Nebraska Cornhuskers Football - Gimme Red 'Til I'm Dead!
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 […]

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. The Huskers swept struggling Minnesota up north as expected […]
HUSKER HEAT At 8PM – Join Us After the Game for the Only HUSKER SOFTBALL Podcast That’s right – Tonight and every Tuesday night at 8PM. It’s called Husker Heat and we started our 3rd season two weeks ago. With my lovely daughter Mylie as my co-host (of course I’m biased – daughter), we cover […]
I’m glad the news of Husker Softball getting the number one ranking could distract me for a little bit yesterday. Much of the rest of the day was spent being angry at the post office and the passport office. Over a month ago we applied for passports for my two sons. In order to do […]
The Huskers took a road trip to Minnesota looking for a sweep and woke up Monday with the first #1 ranking in their history. Monday morning opened with the On3/Softball America poll moving the Huskers up from #3 to #1 leapfrogging past last week’s #1 and #2 Oklahoma and Alabama. Oklahoma went 2-2 losing to […]
The diamond sports at Nebraska keep rolling along. The softball team swept Minnesota and sits on top of the Big Ten standings and at #4 in the national RPI rankings. The baseball team shook up their starting rotation and only walked off the #12 team in the country three consecutive games for a sweep of […]
WHAT A WEEKEND!! Nebraska baseball sweeps USC and solidly plants itself in 2nd place in the Big Ten standings. This is the first sweep of a ranked opponent in Haymarket Park since that legendary 2015 Texas series. It also happened to be the highest attended series in the Big Ten era of Haymarket Park, and […]
Kennadi Williams, pinch runner extraordinaire and daughter of Husker basketball coach Amy Williams, came roaring around 3rd base as the 10th run and an 8-run lead for the Huskers which would potentially end the game if Jordy Frahm could shut things down in the bottom of the 6th. Then the high school track star stumbled […]
RrgWhat a day in Lincoln! Two of the top teams in the Big Ten to the field in front of the second biggest crowd in the Big Ten era for Haymarket Park of over 7600 people clad in red. Fresh off a walk off thriller on Friday night, Nebraska was looking to pounce on the […]
Sometimes in the midst of a barrage, you notice the little things. But the lead today on a sunny, but cool and windy Minnesota afternoon was the Nebraska Cornhuskers waiting two innings, then unleashing the full force of their offensive potential on the non-Sydney Schwartz portion of the Minnesota pitching staff. They scored 2, 5 […]
