Nebraska Football: 12 Things to Know if You Are Going to a Game in Lincoln
One of the facts that can help illustrate how Nebraska football gamedays are simply different from any other college football gameday throughout the country is that when the Huskers are playing in Memorial Stadium on a Saturday (or sometimes a Friday) that for a few hours it is considered the third largest city in the […]
Corn Flakes: Husker Open as AVCA Preseason #1
Today the AVCA Preseason poll came out and our Huskers are ranked number one. The Huskers have been ranked the preseason number one nine times, which is the most of any school. This comes off of a fifth place finish in the 2025 season after losing their only game to eventual national champions Texas A&M. […]
Corn Nation Reacts Survey: Whose Patch Should Adorn the Huskers 2027 Jerseys?
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. Last week, I threw out a poll as to who you thought our leading rusher would be and got more responses about possible sponsor jersey patches. […]
Corn Flakes: Roger Craig Is Now an NFL Hall-of Famer
Another Monday, another week closer to football season. I am most excited to see how the offensive line performs under their new coach, Geep Wade. It has been frustrating to watch Nebraska football locked in a cycle of underdevelopment and underperformance. Husker fans love the ethos of the Pipeline and celebrate that position group as […]
HUSKERS FOOTBALL 2025-2026 Part 1: Back-to-Back Bowls, But When Things Went Bad…
Honestly? A 7-6 2025 season seemed to leave Huskers fans in a fouler mood than Head Coach Matt Rhule’s 5-7 bowl-free 2023 inaugural slate. The ‘25 group even found success in one-score contests (more on that in Part 2), games which had plagued the squads since Scott Frost arrived. Compare it to ‘23 when Rhule’s […]
Friday Flakes: The Day Nebraska Football and Taylor Martinez Beat Dana Holgorsen
YouTube can be great at times. Two nights ago my algorithm was nice enough to drop highlights from a high scoring game in 2010 between #16 ranked Nebraska and #14 ranked Oklahoma State. As the YouTube thumbnail came across my screen I saw the title, “Nebraska high-scoring shootout with Oklahoma State 2010.” I vaguely remembered […]

Husker Volleyball is Right Around the Corner: Here’s What You Need to Know
We are almost through the stretch of the summer that everyone dreads from year to year. Why do people dread it you may ask? Because there’s no sports on. Well there is, but all you can watch is either the MLB or golf for the most part and those are what I like to call […]
What Is the Protect College Sports Act Trying to Save?
The final version of the “Save College Sports Act” has headed to the Senate. Here is a one line statement of what it offers. There’s even bits in it for salary capping… Coach and Manager Salary Funding (Section 114(e)): For large athletic programs (schools generating over $80 million in annual athletic revenue), the Act prohibits […]
Thursday Flakes: Huskers Seasons Get Revved Up
We are steadily approaching the fall sports seasons at Nebraska. There is so much to look forward to, including the fall weather we just had the past couple of days here in Lincoln. Don’t worry, I’m sure the first football game will be 90+ degrees at kickoff. I believe it’s written in football lore. Something […]
Nebraska Football Player Power Rankings: Start of Fall Camp
This season I will be publishing a weekly power ranking of Nebraska’s players. 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, waiting in the wings, rumors […]
Corn Nation Reacts Survey: Who Will Lead the Huskers Backfield This Season?
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.

Corn Flakes: Fall Football Camp Starts This Week
Husker fooball opens fall camp in two days (August 5) and you can visit your favorite NFL team site for training camp news. That will have to be enough for your football fix for now but we aren’t far from the point where we start to lament that the season is half-over. Or, we will […]
NEBRASKA REACTS Survey Result: Malcolm Hartzog Saves the Day
THIS ARTICLE BROUGHT TO YOU BY FANDUEL(CLICK HERE to access FanDuel’s sportsbook) Even though the 1-4 finish to the 2025 season appears to have left the majority of the fanbase’s mood ranging from sour to skeptical rather than hopeful, last season did provide its share of highlights.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, the Terrific Trio discusses numerous topics of the week. It is Big Ten Media Days, and Minnie, Fred, and Greg will provide any necessary updates from Chicago.

Matt Rhule Takes the B1G Media Days Podium: “We Didn’t Come to Nebraska To Go 7-6.”
After a relatively quiet spring and summer, Matt Rhule kicked off the final day of Big Ten Football Media Days by taking the main stage at 11:30am CST and, as expected, said all the right things. But unlike many other coaches, he spends most of his 15 minutes off script. Let me explain. The way […]
Latest on nation’s No. 1 tight end Ahmad Hudson: Nebraska still firmly in the hunt
Nebraska continues to make a serious push for one of the biggest prizes in the 2027 recruiting class, as the Huskers remain firmly in contention for five-star tight end Ahmad Hudson. The Ruston, Louisiana, native is rated as the nation’s No. 1 tight end and the No. 18 overall prospect in the country. At 6-foot-7 […]
Matt Rhule’s Real Test in Year Four: Did He Learn How to Hire?
Big Ten Media Days mark the unofficial start of Nebraska football coverage, but before diving into transfer portal names and quarterback battles, one question matters more than any roster spot: has Nebraska’s coaching staff finally caught up to its talent? That’s the central storyline of Rhule’s fourth season, and it starts with looking at who’s […]
Thursday Flakes: Hypothetical Husker Sponsorships, NFL Camps and More
People over the last couple of weeks have been dogging on each other about their college teams getting a sponsorship patch on their jerseys a la soccer teams. Yes, it is a great way to earn extra money and also a decent collaboration with the right companies. Whether or not Nebraska will get there, well […]
Ohio Bobcats 2026 Football Preview
The program that Frank Solich built is undergoing some major rebuilding in 2026. A new head coach and only five returning starters means change is up in Athens. John Hauser takes over after former head coach Brian Smith was fired for off-field issues after one season. This makes previewing the Ohio Bobcats difficult because there’s […]

Corn Flakes: Huskers Picked 11th in B1G and Get Your Volleyball Tickets Thursday
July is quickly coming to an end and the school year is approaching. While I enjoy my summers and the lack of schedule, I am ready to be back into a routine and for Nebraska volleyball and football to start back up. I love the little glimpses of volleyball that we get through August, including […]
Husker Wrestling: An In-Depth Look Into Nebraska’s Potential 2026-27 Starting Lineup
While Nebraska brings back a number of very productive starters from last season’s 3rd-place team, this Husker team will be much different than last year’s. Nebraska’s big returners this year are Antrell Taylor at 157 pounds (national champ in 2025 and runner-up in 2026), Christopher Minto at 174 (2026 NCAA finalist), Camden McDanel at 197 […]
