Iowa vs Nebraska Men’s Basketball: Team Preview and Live Discussion – Senior Day
My Game Time Thoughts The Iowa Hawkeyes are 2-5 over the past seven games. Unfortunately, one of those two wins was against Nebraska when they played in Iowa City. An interesting fact is that over the past 480 minutes of Iowa Hawkeye basketball, Iowa’s best player Bennett Stirtz has only sat on the bench for […]
Nebraska Takes Hard Fought Win Over Michigan State, 3-1
Under a bright blue sky and beautiful sunshine, the setting for today’s game between our Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Spartans from Michigan State couldn’t be any more perfect other than the fact that it was a chilly 47-degrees at first pitch. The cool temps seemed to have an effect on the bats of both teams […]
HUSKERS SOFTBALL RECAP – Frahm Looks Strong in Win over UNO: #5 NEBRASKA 4 – UNO 1
After two wins against South Dakota State on Thursday, the Huskers were back today to start a two-game series against the UNO Mavericks this weekend to cap off their preseason schedule this year. Both games against SDSU were wins for the Huskers as they won 9-4 in their first game that day and then won […]
HUSKER SOFTBALL’s 2026 CORN NATION Players of the Game!!…So Far
Yeah, I’m doing this because I’ve been a damned fool – again. On Tuesday Night’s Husker Heat podcast (That’s right – your only dedicated Huskers Softball podcast!), I said what the heck, we’re gonna give out Player of the Game awards in our recaps. I followed up and said, for example, I’m giving last Thursday’s […]
Could You Run The Triple Option Today?
[Note – I’m kinda using “wishbone” and “triple option” interchangeably here. These can be distinct, but I get the idea a lot of people mush them together into a single concept. Give me some latitude. Ha! – Jon] Sometime in the late 1980s, one of the most dominant systems in college football history quietly disappeared. […]
NEBRASKA REACTS Survey Results: We Got a Clear Chili Winner!
Presented by FanDuel! https://sportsbook.fanduel.com/navigation/ncaab With baseball and softball going and the Spring Game only a few weeks away, I figured the green light for spring semester tailgating is damn well lit. And in the cool weather, what warms us up quicker, both from cooking heat and whatever level of pepper intensity is simmered within, than […]
Case Sanderson Goes Roy Hobbs in the Bottom of the 10th to Defeat Sparty 5-4
The only thing missing to Nebraska’s last hit of the game tonight was light bulbs exploding and French horns celebrating a home run that every young boy dreams about hitting. Case Sanderson pulled the Cornhuskers to a hard-earned victory with two outs in the bottom of the tenth inning with a towering home run with one […]

Friday Flakes: Big Sunday for Nebraska Basketball and Memorial Stadium Isn’t the Only Historic Venue Expecting Change
There is a lot on the line this Sunday when the Iowa Hawkeyes come to town to take on the fighting Fred Hoibergs at 3 p.m. The first and most important is that if Nebraska beats Iowa then they will clinch at least a top four seed in the Big Ten Tournament which means they […]
HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap – Two for the Money: #5 NEBRASKA 8 – SDSU 0 (5 Inngs.)
If there’s one thing people love in a blowout game, especially if night has fallen on the second game of opening day at home and those temps are falling? It’s a walk-off home run and Bella Bacon’s solo job was doubt-free from the moment it left the bat. This game had just ended 8-0 and […]
HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap – No Anxiety Necessary: #5 NEBRASKA 9 – SDSU 4
After the top of the 3rd, a few folks had early warning lights going off in their heads. A Bria Riebel 3-run homer hit high to left-center may have gotten a nudge from the 15-20mph winds blowing out that way, but, boost or not, all 3 runs counted and a Husker 2-1 lead was suddenly […]
Five Heart Podcast: Nebraska’s Spring Practice, Hoops, and Birthday Shenanigans
This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Minnie, Fred, and Greg will break down the latest news and quotes from the Huskers’ spring practice and accompanying press conferences.

#5 HUSKERS SOFTBALL Weekend – Let’s Invite the Summit!: The Big Red Spring Classic Preview
You can always come home. And in the case of the Huskers and other northern softball teams, you have to after a usually 4-week or so southern and western swing of invitationals which level the playing field some for non-southern and western schools playing an outdoor diamond sport which begins in early February. The last […]
Nebraska Is Bullish on the New Offensive Line — And It Should Be
Looking back at the 2025 season, Nebraska’s year took a sharp turn for the worse against Minnesota. The Huskers were sacked nine times in that game — a staggering number even for a program that has endured inconsistent offensive line play through much of the 2000s. For Matt Rhule and offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, that […]
Thursday Flakes: Women’s Basketball Eliminated, Baseball Wins and More
There are only a certain number of things that make me feel young. The odd workout that I used to do when I was 18 (and still try to do that like I’m 18), staying up late to watch sports (basketball kind of sucked didn’t it), and jokingly celebrating my half-birthday even though I’m now […]
Nebraska Women’s Basketball Slip to Indiana 69-72
This is not a normal recap of the game as Jill and I were both at work and would not be getting home until later. However, the sting of the loss is still there and I think this game, specifically, raises some questions on whether or not the right personnel is at the head of […]
Dylan Carey’s 5 for 5 Day Carries Nebraska to 5-4 Win Over SDSU
On a cloudy, dreary day at Haymarket Park, Nebraska faced off against their second Summit League foe in two days, the South Dakota State Jackrabbits. After beating Omaha yesterday, the boys in red were looking to reverse their losing ways against this pesky team from north of the border. After Nebraska starter Pryce Bender pitched a […]

Nebraska MBB Recap: Huskers Embarrassed by Bruins 72-52
FIRST HALF ANALYSIS: UCLA came out on fire to start this one, while Nebraska couldn’t hit water if it fell out of a boat in the middle of the ocean. The Bruins took an immediate double-digit lead, as they hit 6 of their first 8 field goal attempts. The Huskers would commit 3 turnovers in […]

Big Inning Propels Nebraska Baseball to Win Over Omaha
Nebraska baseball had its home opener on Tuesday, hosting the Omaha Mavericks. After a 5-5 RPI building start to the season, the Huskers look for some home cooking to get back on track after a tough series at Auburn over the weekend. They didn’t have to wait long as a big first inning got things […]

The Husker women (18-11; 7-11) open the Big Ten Tournament against the Indiana Hoosiers – a team Nebraska has had trouble with in recent years.

Corn Flakes: Sandfort Gets B1G Weekly Honors and Spring Volleyball
The Nebraska Girls’ State Basketball is this weekend and for the first time in 48 years, my hometown Queen Bees are going to be in the tournament. This is super exciting, I have not seen the team play, but hope to get to a game this week. Back in my day the early 00’s, which […]
