Since the weekly Nebraska Reacts poll would be coming in the middle of bowl season, the questions had to be something beyond the always original “Who Gonna Win?” stuff since the polls would open before our bowl game but take answers for a day or more after its conclusion. Otherwise, one question I may have […]

After back-to-back losses to ranked conference opponents, the Husker women look to right the ship when hosting the Purdue Boilermakers. Nebraska had an excellent 12-0 start to the season, but did not face a murderer’s row in non-conference play – the USC and Iowa games were going to be the litmus test. The Huskers hung […]

The winter portal window runs from January 2 through January 16, during which players must enter their names to be contacted by other programs. With major […]

FIRST HALF ANALYSIS: If you were looking for explosives, then you were in for a large dud in the first 4 minutes of the game. Both teams were playing “brick city nights”, as both teams were a combined 2-13 in the opening 4 minutes, with the score tied at 3. Pryce Sandfort, who averages 15 […]

Nebraska limped to the finish line of the 2025 season with what was supposed to be the much-vaunted Year 3 of the Matt Rhule era. Instead, blowout losses to Iowa, Penn State, and most recently Utah stripped away any remaining illusions about where this roster truly stands. Those games didn’t just sting — they exposed. […]

The ladies’ conference record now stands at 1-2 after back to back losses. This was a close game for three and a half quarters, but the final five minutes was rough to watch. The Huskers shooting went cold and the Hawkeyes took advantage. Britt Prince led Nebraska with 27 points, followed by Jess Petrie with […]

Deep down, if we’re really honest with ourselves, we saw this coming. At least we should have. A leaky run defense combined with Nebraska’s All-American I-back sitting out the bowl game against a foe who was in the College Football Playoff discussion was simply a bad matchup. Doesn’t mean we have to like it; we […]

There’s some damned good football being played today. Unfortunately, it doesn’t involve Nebraska. Perhaps you’d rather be done with college football for the season, but Oregon vs Texas Tech, Alabama vs Indiana, and maybe even Georgia vs Ole Miss should be exciting and interesting games. Women’s Basketball Nebraska Cornhuskers (20/25) at Iowa Hawkeyes (14/14)Thursday, Jan. […]

It’s one of my favorite games of the year, but also one of the most stressful games of the year, when Nebraska takes on the Iowa. Lucky for me, I get to deal with near heart attacks and anxiety twice a year when we play them. Games with the Hawkeyes are mostly always competitive and […]

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the festivities last night, Nebraska’s bowl game notwithstanding. The new year has started off with the familiar cries here at the Shearer household, mainly by the twins. Take your pick as to whether it’s Briscoe or Helen causing me the issues. All I know is I […]

Are you ready for Nebraska to go undefeated in the non-conference for the first time since the 1928-1929 season? Apparently the Huskers went 6-0 in that season. After tonight, the Huskers should be 13-0 as the gauntlet of the Big Ten sits there waiting for them. Nebraska is a 30 point favorite against the New […]

You know what? We wait all year long for Nebraska football and are only guaranteed 12 games. Then we make our selves miserable because of over inflated expectations. Or maybe they are reasonable expectations but Nebraska just fails to meet them. Getting embarrassed by Penn State and Iowa certainly does not help. But even after […]

The drive from Rifle, CO, to Las Vegas was about as perfect a December 30th driving day as one could ask for when starting in the western Rockies. The temp was only 13 degrees as I hopped down to the Gateway Lodge’s breakfast “buffet”. Yes, they really call it that, but it included scrambled eggs […]

I took my boys to the Husker Women’s basketball game today. It was a full house and a lot of fun, even with the outcome. If it weren’t for the quick run that USC went on to start the third quarter, Nebraska would’ve got them. USC is good inside. We got to see a fired […]

Minnie Hunt opens “Monday Night Therapy” with Fred Sacco and Fred’s dog Willie as the crew gears up for Nebraska’s final game of 2025, the Las Vegas Bowl against Utah. The mood is a mix of relief and cautious optimism: as fans, they feel the team is “limping across the finish line,” but they also […]

I was worried about a slow start by the Huskers and in my mind, that meant a slow first quarter. Instead, it was sluggishness coming out of halftime that doomed the Huskers. Nebraska was nails from the free throw line (19-21), but got outworked on the glass 38-25. USC’s excellent defense caused issues for Nebraska […]

We will find out a lot about the Huskers today. They’ve passed all their tests so far with flying colors, but USC is a different animal – even without JuJu Watkins. The Huskers have scored 80 or more points in every game this season, but USC has a defense that will likely break that streak. […]
