Nebraska Cornhuskers Football - Gimme Red 'Til I'm Dead!
On a mild spring day as a light breeze meandered across the windswept prairie of- I’m just kidding, I wouldn’t do that to y’all. But what I would and did do was snap a few pictures and some video as the media was allowed to wander around a spring practice for the first time since […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Nebraska fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. So I joked in the article reporting on Fred Hoiberg’s contract extension that if/when he and […]

Men’s Selection Show: 6 p.m. ET on CBS. Women’s Selection Show: 8 p.m. ET on ESPN. Event: Reveal of the 68-team fields, seedings, and matchups. For anyone who wants to know what […]
I’m ready to watch the Huskers in the Big Ten Tournament on Friday night. That game on Sunday, while frustrating at times (letting Iowa chip away at a 11 point lead to tie it up), was so fun to watch. The Same Hoiberg and Cale Jacobsen combo in overtime was so enjoyable. I loved the […]
With the Big Ten Conference soon to kick off, FanDuel gives us an opportunity to look at the odds for who has the best chance of winning the Big Ten Championship. Also, we can definitely take a look at the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ odds to win the whole darn enchilada. The NCAA Tournament odds for the […]
The well-received news was released by the Nebraska Athletic Department at 9:00 on the dot this morning and let’s just jump right into it. Here’s a copy of the AD’s press release (edited for brevity – no, it doesn’t appear so, but I swear that’s the case): Nebraska has agreed to a contract extension with […]
The Husker men are the #2 seed in the Big Ten Tournament! What a crazy, amazing season for Fred Hoiberg and his team. Locking in the #2 seed with a win over Iowa only makes it better. The women had to watch most of their Big Ten tournament from the stands. After their first-round loss […]
After a strong first day at the Big Ten Championships, Nebraska had a tough final session, finishing in 3rd place in the team race behind Penn State and Ohio State. Penn State scored the fifth most team points ever at Big Tens with 184 while the Buckeyes scored 148.5 to place second. Nebraska’s 116.5 points […]
Nebraska beat Iowa by nine but the final score was in no way indicative of how the game went this afternoon. The Huskers led 68-62 with 1:02 left in regulation and it felt like Nebraska should be able to walk away with a win. However, Iowa’s Kael Combs drove almost the whole length of the […]
So look, no offense to the Big Red Spring Classic participants UNO and South Dakota State, but when you’ve been been playing the Texas, Texas Techs and Tennessees of the world – the only three teams ranked #1 at some point in the 2026 season- some run-rule wins are going to be expected on a […]
The Huskers gave the biggest crowd of the home slate so far this season a good show as they wrapped up their series against the Spartans. They needed a walk off home run Friday, and good pitching to pull off a 3-1 win Saturday. On “Championship Sunday”, they rolled out the now traditional goooood looking […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
[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. […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. The trio will discuss if this is just expected lip service or if they think there’s genuine (five) heart behind it. There is an entertaining Five Heart […]
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 […]
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 […]
