Week 9 Cobs: Crazy Comebacks, Shirtless Students and Terrible Special Teams
It’s that time of the week again. Let’s take off our shirts and wave them above our heads to celebrate another week of cob nominations. South Florida The Bulls scored late in the 3rd quarter to take a 14-point lead against the Tigers. Then everything began to unravel. Mississippi State Bulldogs blew a 17-point lead […]
Corn Flakes: Britt Prince on Nancy Lieberman Award Watch List
While there were some bumps or glitches during the football game, these weekend turned out to be a great one for Husker sports. This time of year is fun when you can catch a football game, a couple volleyball games, and some basketball games all in the same weekend. Here’s to another good week of […]
Monday Night Therapy: Huskers Hit 6–2 as USC Blackout Looms
The latest Monday Night Therapy opened with relief and cautious optimism as Minnie and Fred celebrated Nebraska’s sixth win, putting the Huskers at 6–2 and bowl eligible for the first time in years. Despite the milestone, fans remain divided—some thrilled with progress, others frustrated by “ugly wins.” Minnie and Fred agreed that injuries, inconsistent offensive […]
Husker Wrestling: 3x Undefeated Nebraska State Champ Ornelas Commits to In-State Huskers
One of the best wrestlers in the state of Nebraska from the second he hit the mat, Zaiyahn Ornelas announced Monday that he’s going to be a Husker. A senior-to-be for Creighton Prep, Ornelas spent his first three high school seasons at Class C Wilber-Clatonia where he dominated — he won three Class C state […]
Betting odds released for Nebraska vs USC

Per FanDuel Sportsbook, Nebraska is currently a 6.5 point underdog against USC with the over/under set at 59.5 points. USC comes into the game at 5-2 […]
Kenneth Williams Is Big 10 Special Teams Player of the Week
Kenneth Williams opened the second half of the Northwestern game by taking the their kickoff on the 5-yard line. From there, he sensed that the Wildcats had deployed too many forces to that side of the field and immediately turned on the jets to try and make the corner on the opposite side of the […]
Corn Nation Overreaction: Huskers Survive NW Threat and are Bowl Eligible
This week on the Overreaction Show, Greg, Hoss, and Jake will discuss and break down Saturday’s 28-21 win over the Northwestern Wildcats. As has been the Huskers’ modus operandi in conference play, it was not a pretty game. It was, in fact, ugly. But as we have also seen most of this season (the exception […]
Husker Wrestling: Everything You Need to Know About Nebraska Before the Season Starts
In late June, I did an in-depth weight class preview after the addition of AJ Ferrari in the transfer portal. I went through and highlighted the probable starters and their backups at every weight — along with many of their accomplishments. You can find that here — there is really only one change from then […]
Corn Flakes: A Gritty Football Win and More Volleyball Sweeps
The Husker women’s basketball team played an exhibition against Mount Marty on Friday night. It went as one would hope for a Big Ten team playing an NAIA school. Nebraska won 104-40 with a pair of sophomores notching double-double performances in Amiah Hargrove (26 points, 10 rebounds) and Britt Prince (14 points, 10 assists). The […]
Report Card: Huskers 28, Northwestern Wildcats 21
Survive, and advance. It wasn’t pretty, that’s for sure. But once again, Nebraska found a way to win the dadgummed game in the fourth quarter. “Fourth quarter Dylan” was a little late in arriving, but once again, Nebraska’s captain delivered with the game on the line. Prior to that? Well, we’re going to nit-pick that […]
The Morning After: Nebraska Football Overcomes “Abrupt Movement” and Review Fiasco to beat Northwestern
Today was a first for me. Yes, I am sure you all want to hear about it. At halftime I took my dog to the track to run around. I took some headphones with me and I ended up walking around the track and I listened to the first half of the third quarter on […]
Nebraska Volleyball Keeps Their Sweep Streak Alive Beating Michigan State
Nebraska 3, Michigan State 0 – 25-15, 25-15, 25-18 Well it wouldn’t be a game day if it didn’t include a Husker volleyball sweep. They are looking unstoppable at this point as they continued to roll against the Michigan State Spartans for the 2nd time this season. Both coaches tonight, Kristen Kelsay and Dani Busboom […]

HUSKERS FOOTBALL Recap – Answering the Call!: NEBRASKA 28 Northwestern 21
Nothing will ever be easy I wondered in the halftime recap how the Huskers would respond once again facing a 7-6 score, this time on the upside, when the second half began. Last week, you may have heard, it didn’t go so well. Against Northwestern, history and the odds said something was gonna get tough […]
The Rest of the Day Games Thread
We will have a volleyball thread later, but this is your rest of the games thread. Here are the rest of the games today!!!!
Nebraska’s Grit Beats Northwestern’s Rock Fighting 28-21
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 […]
HUSKERS FOOTBALL Halftime Recap – & 2nd Half Game Thread!: NEBRASKA 7 Northwestern 6
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 […]
Nebraska vs Northwestern – The “God Help Us” Game Thread
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 […]
NEBRASKA vs Northwestern Pre-Game Vibes: Gut Check Time on a True Fall Saturday
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 […]
THE 24-HOUR RULE: Some Overcast HUSKERS Game Day Thoughts
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? […]
Predictions: NW Wildcats at NU Huskers
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 […]
Husker Wrestling: Everything You Need to Know About Today’s Wrestle-Offs
Nebraska held its annual wrestle-offs Friday at the Hendricks Training Complex in front of a wrestling room full of fans. Here is some of the action before we dive into things. Now, here are the weight-by-weight notes: 125 pounds Nebraska’s three 125-pounders competed in a round robin with a starting spot on the line. Redshirt […]
Nebraska Opens Northwestern Weekend with a Sweep in Volleyball
Nebraska 3, Northwestern 0 – 25-17, 25-13, 25-17 Nebraska keeps their sweep streak alive as they beat Northwestern tonight in a quick match.

NEBRASKA (5-2) vs. Northwestern (5-2) – Here’s a Quick Guts Test: HOW TO WATCH
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 […]
