The 24 HOUR RULE: Maryland Homecoming Weekend, Softball Fall Ball, Penn State Is Still Trash & Other Random Thoughts
As hard as we all try, not every single week of football season contains a Christmas-tree light flashing headline. But is there always something going on? Absolutely. Every now and again, this column just likes throw a little of everything at you, and isn’t that easier and more fun when you don’t have the time […]
Five Reason Nebraska Will Win: Maryland
The Nebraska Football team is 4-0 for the first time since 2016, which means I am 4-0 for the first time EVER! We are going to ride this streak all the way through November! It’s October and if we can’t chug some mid-season Kool-Aid now, when can we? Nebraska is going to bring another big […]
Friday Flakes: Nebraska Football Cynicism is Justified but Is It Costing Fans the Season in Front of Them?
Chris Williamson’s newsletter (Modern Wisdom Podcast) this past Monday seemed particularly timely and is relevant to what I have been hearing and reading from those covering Nebraska football as well as the Husker fans themselves. Here is the quote from Chris’s newsletter on Cynicism: “Cynicism in relationships is a defence against heartbreak and betrayal, and […]
Husker Volleyball Blanks Penn State to Start Their East Coast Road Trip – #1 Nebraska 3 – #16 Penn State 0
Nebraska 3-Penn State 0 – 25-20, 25-17, 25-18 What a day it’s been for Husker nation so far with some being bad, but this match being the bright spot. After almost 24 hours of rainfall in Lincoln, the city ended up getting around 6.5 inches of rain and lots of flooding to deal with. It’s […]

NEBRASKA (4-0) vs. Maryland (2-2) – It’s a Business Meeting; Keep the Focus : HOW TO WATCH/LISTEN
”I mean, we lost 56-7 to Indiana two years ago, and we came back and, (while) we didn’t win the next week against (#4)Ohio State, we played pretty dang well (21-17 loss with plenty of assistance from the B1G’s striped felons), so I don’t believe last week carries over this week. – Matt Rhule 2026 […]
Can Nebraska Capitalize on Its On-Field Momentum on the Recruiting Front?
Winning fixes a lot of things in college football. It also makes recruiting pitches considerably easier. Nebraska heads into its Homecoming matchup with Maryland with momentum building on the field, and Matt Rhule now has another opportunity to turn that progress into something tangible on the recruiting trail. The Maryland weekend has developed into another […]
Thursday Flakes: Volleyball, Baseball, Hockey Oh My
A little-known fact has happened over the last two weeks here in Nebraska…we have a monsoon season now! The last two weeks have been nothing but rainy and cold days that would make the west coast proud. I’m fairly certain I’m one 80-degree sunny day away from my lawn being tall enough to engulf an […]
Husker Volleyball Visits Rival Penn State on Thursday Night
In the football world, everyone loves Iowa Hate Week. The week leading up to that game is met with loads of tension built up between the two teams and fan bases. In the volleyball world, Nebraska’s “Iowa” has been Penn State lately. Penn State has kind of become the transfer destination for girls that have […]
Riley Van Poppel Gave Up His Single Digit. Why? Because He’s Not Meeting His Standard.
Riley Van Poppel is probably a little too hard on himself if you ask me. Now, that’s just a guess, as I don’t claim to know Van Poppel except for what I see on the field and hear in the press room. But even if close friends are included, nobody probably knows whether or not […]
Nebraska Football Beats Michigan State 31-13: The Stat Scorecard, the Pass Rush, and Why I’m Not Predicting Anything
Nebraska football opened Big Ten play the right way. The Huskers went into East Lansing, took a 24-10 halftime lead over Michigan State, and never let the Spartans back in the game. Final score: 31-13. Nebraska is 4-0 and 1-0 in the Big Ten. I was at my oldest son’s wedding but I did watch […]
Nebraska Football: Steady as it Goes…for Now
There is no denying that Michigan State was a “step up” in competition for Nebraska this last week. First conference game, it’s on the road, the highest quality opponent to date. There was some inconsistency from both sides of the ball, but weirdly not overly stressful. Going 3 and out to start both halves was […]
HUSKERS HAPPY HOUR: The Huskers Get Their 1st Big 10 Opener Win Since 2019!
It’s true. The Huskers had not won a Big 10 opener since defeating Illinois 42-38 back in 2019. We talked about this, and as always, many other things. Mylie kicked things off by dropping in and catching us up on some volleyball talk with those ladies currently undefeated and ranked #1, but having dropped a […]
Week 4 Cobs: Bad Kicks, Dirty Hits and Clanging Cowbells
It’s that time of the week again! Time to get down and dirty as we slide our way through this week’s cob nominations. Penn State The Nittany Lions were jumping around after going up 17-0 in Happy Valley against the Badgers. Then it all fell apart for Penn State. Texas Linebacker Colin Simmons From third […]
Nebraska Football Player Power Rankings: A New #1 and the Five-Star Who Finally Showed Up
Welcome to the most recent edition of my Nebraska Football player power rankings. As I have said before, this list will be completely subjective in several ways and may not follow a logical path. Or maybe it will. This Power Ranking list will be a combination of the most important, most impactful, a recent contribution, […]
Corn Flakes: Andi Jackson Is Big Ten Player of the Week
After an amazing week, Andi Jackson was named Big Ten Player of the Week. I was a little surprised to read that this is only the second time ever that she has received this award. We all know how amazing she is, and with all of the other accolades that she has had, I can’t […]
Monday Night Therapy: 4-0, Huskers vs Terrapins Preview
Monday Night Therapy celebrated Nebraska’s road victory over Michigan State, with Minnie and Fred breaking down a game that felt much closer and uglier than the final result suggested. Nebraska controlled much of the first half before struggling badly in the third quarter as Michigan State increased the tempo and made adjustments. The Huskers eventually […]
Corn Nation Reacts Survey: Husker Volleyball – All Good or Do We Have Concerns?
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. For the past few weeks, the CN Reacts has pretty much belonged to football. However, since we have a pretty good volleyball program as well, I […]
Fox Selects Indiana at Nebraska for Big 11 a.m Kickoff
As many may have feared, the Saturday, October 10 matchup between Indiana and Nebraska will be televised by Fox at 11 a.m. central time. NBC had already picked Southern Cal at Penn State for a whiteout game, and with the other B1G game of note, UCLA at Oregon, being a West Coast matchup, it was […]
Corn Flakes: Football Passes First Big Ten Test and Volleyball Sweeps the Weekend
Admit it. You were waiting for the meltdown in the third quarter of the Husker football game vs Michigan State. “Here we go again” was probably etched into your brain as Nebraska’s defense allowed big plays and the offense forgot how to move forward. But something weird happened on the way to the Forum. The […]
Corn Nation Overreaction: Huskers Dominate Spartans, Remain Undefeated
Nebraska moved to 4-0 with a convincing 31-13 road victory over Michigan State, and Greg and Jake broke down an “ugly win” that still showed how far the Huskers have come. Nebraska didn’t play its best football, particularly in the running game, but the defense dominated with six sacks, multiple takeaways, excellent tackling, and impressive […]
Report Card: Huskers 31, Michigan State Spartans 13
I’m getting a read on this Husker football team that it still has a bit of a Jekyll/Hyde split within. Sometimes they look dominatingly “why aren’t they ranked” good…and then a few minutes later, it’s “what the ‘eff are they doin’” not-so-good. (With a heaping helping of “Here we go again…” on the side.) Earlier […]
Nebraska Football Doesn’t Dominate Michigan State. It Cashes In and the Morning After
During the week and leading into the matchup between Nebraska and Michigan State, there were two Spartan players we were told that would be problems for Nebraska. Those two players were starting running back Cam Edwards and linebacker Jordan Hall. Both left the game with injuries and neither of those injuries appear to be promising. […]
HUSKERS Stifle the Spartans, Pick Up Road Win In Big 10 Opener: NEBRASKA 31 Michigan St 13
With 6:00 left in the second quarter, Nebraska took over on their 26 following Michigan State’s first touchdown, a 10-play 79-yard drive which they finished with Jaziun Patterson taking a direct snap and plunging it in from 2 yards out. It really felt like time for the Huskers to make a statement. Sure, they were […]
The Huskers Get Their Second Sweep of the Weekend Beating Ohio State 3-0.
After a sweep in their first Big Ten game of the season, the Huskers finish their three week home stand with a sweep of Ohio State. Teraya Sigler was suited up, but the Huskers chose to stick with Skyler Pierce to start the game, having Sigler come in to play back row. Pierce took advantage […]
