Nebraska Cornhuskers Football - Gimme Red 'Til I'm Dead!
Nebraska is 6-2 and bowl eligible in October for the first time since 2016. Let that sink in for a moment. Was it pretty? God no. Was it another heart attack-inducing, PTSD-triggering, one-score game that aged me 83 years? Absolutely. But we won 28-21, and that’s all that matters right now. I said it after […]

And here we are again. This time the Huskers lead 7-6 instead of trailing by that score, but, just like last Friday, the game has been turned into a vacant lot mud fight by their opponent, which one would think will play right into Northwestern’s hands, especially given how Nebraska reacted to a similar situation […]

I’m predicting a high potential for pitchforks and torches after this game. If you’ve seen the commercial where the coach is put on the hot seat in Fanville, then you get the idea of what I’m talking about. Except that our coach isn’t sponsored by Dr. Pepper. I woke up this morning with my PTSD […]

It weirdly seems like there’s still a contingent out there thinking we should beat Northwestern by 14-17 points despite the fact this is a 5-2 team, 3-1 in conference, on a 4-game win streak. The bookies believe this as well with the Huskers as -8 1/2 favorites. Of course, these are the same guys who […]

Look – I can usually figure out something to focus the column on, I swear. Positive or negative, there’s usually an aspect of the previous game, something noteworthy going on that week or maybe a memory/anecdote the current opponent brings out. More than one when it comes to Oklahoma; I got some company there, amirite? […]

Mike: Are we over last week’s debacle yet? Patrick: I’ve moved on. Jarek: Luckily for me I haven’t had the time to think about it or vent. I’ve gained two kids and lost a tooth since last week, so I’m ready for Northwestern. Andy: It was hard to watch in person, as was their crowd […]

For those who want to know if the Huskers are better than they showed last Friday night and are ready to be a much more physical team in terms blocking and tackling with a purpose, answers should be quickly forthcoming over Saturday brunch against a Northwestern squad who will resemble Minnesota in many ways. Or […]

The final five games on Nebraska’s slate are Northwestern, Southern Cal, UCLA, Penn State and Iowa. Before the Minnesota game, many people opined on Twitter/X and other social media that winning out was very possible. After the 24-6 drubbing, those opinions whiplashed 180 degrees into bowl eligibility being in danger. What thoughts would a survey […]

Nebraska volleyball is finally back home and is slated to play more than one home match in a weekend. Finally. It seems like they have been on the road more than at home this season. While they probably enjoy road matches, it is always good to be back at the Bob. The Huskers are riding […]

Wow, it’s crazy that we had another bye week so soon. I mean there was definitely not a game last week, so another bye week must be what that was. These Huskers are going to be refreshed and motivated when the Wildcats come to Memorial Stadium on Saturday. #1 PROTECTING THE QUARTERBACK It’s pretty hard […]

This week on Bussin with the Boys’ podcast with Josh Pate, Nebraska’s own Will Compton took some time to explain what is exactly going on with Nebraska. While I did not want to put the whole quote on there. I think you should give it a listen. Insightful stuff. Best I could do this Friday […]

I will never have a crazier 7 days in my life. If I do, I look forward to the absolute roller coaster ride that it will entail. It all started last Thursday afternoon, when my wife called me and told me that she was being sent to the ER. Her blood pressure had risen to […]

Then on Wednesday, another Big-Boarder committed to Nebraska for its 2027 class — Wyatt Hanssen out of Utah. Singer was previously committed to Lehigh before flipping to the Huskers. Wrestling for arguably the […]

In another typical non-Saturday game, Nebraska seemed to be off on its clock. I understand the “tradition” of the Day after Thanksgiving game against Iowa, but can we stop playing on Thursday’s and Friday’s? Nebraska is 5-7 on non-Saturday games since 2020. Yes, I’m including all games against Iowa, as they are not on a […]

Nebraska announced on Monday that this season’s wrestle-offs will be held Friday at the Hendricks Training Complex at 4 p.m. in the wrestling room — open to fans for free with parking in the lot located north of Innovation Campus. Brackets for the wrestle-offs haven’t been released, but that didn’t stop me from projecting what […]

In this episode of Monday Night Therapy, hosts Minnie and Fred open the “Husker Hope Hotline” to process Nebraska’s humiliating 24–6 loss to Minnesota. The duo describe the defeat as one of the worst under Matt Rhule, marked by offensive line breakdowns, poor communication, and a lack of grit that contradicted the program’s supposed progress. […]

Join us Tuesday night at 8pm CST for this week’s episode of the Huskers Happy Hour! And we’re not too damn happy at all, are we? Oh no, we’re not. In about 10 days, we’ve gone from that scrappy ball team who owns the 4th quarter and was thinking about 10 wins or so to […]

It’s that time of the week again. Grab your banana suit and enjoy these cob nominations. Memphis The Tigers were undefeated. The Blazers have an interim head coach. The unthinkable happens. Florida State Seminoles went to The Farm and got whacked. Was the wrong Norvell fired on Sunday? This is a bit embarrassing. Miami Quarterback […]

In the past few days I have now googled two different sports related questions and been given wrong answers by the AI response that now comes at the top of every page. The first one was googling the Husker Men’s Basketball game against BYU at 12:30pm on Saturday. According to the AI search BYU had […]

“I’m making it very clear right now, to our team and to our coaches, what’s expected all this coming Saturday. And if Northwestern is just way better than us, then so be it, right? So be it. But if fans spend their money this week to show up and watch a team diving on the […]

After watching ourcomplete meltdown in Minnesota, I’ve had enough. I said after the Michigan game that Matt Rhule would “probably” need to make some tough decisions this offseason. Well, scratch the “probably” – he absolutely must make changes, starting with our offensive line coach. Nine sacks. Nine. And before everyone starts the blame game trying […]
