Corn Flakes: Husker Track & Field Shines at NCAA Championships
If you love baseball, the Nebraska metro area was the place to be this weekend. Between the Savannah Bananas and the Men’s College World Series, there was a lot of traffic between Omaha and Lincoln. I know the traffic part because we had a wedding in that area this weekend and we rolled in to […]
Long-Time Huskers Football Assistant Coach George Darlington Passes Away at the Age of 87
The former Husker assistant coach passed away in Lincoln on Sunday morning at the age of 87. Darlington served as an assistant coach in Lincoln for a total 30 seasons from 1973 to 2002, the longest tenure of any football coach in Nebraska history. He was part of Dr. Tom Osborne’s staff for each of his 25 […]
Texas Tech And Brendan Sorsby – The Gambling Line Cannot Be Crossed
College football has survived the transfer portal. It’s limping through NIL chaos. It’s been dragged through courtroom after courtroom. But gambling? That’s the one thing that can hollow out a sport from the inside — and the Brendan Sorsby case is sitting right at that line. Sorsby is currently eligible to play for Texas Tech. […]
Nebraska Reacts Survey Results: No Soup For You, Texas Tech!
(This article sponsored by FanDuel) This week’s poll was a simple one. You may have heard that Texas Tech has basically announced to the world that they’re fine if their athletes bet on their own team’s games, as long as said athletes have entered rehab well ahead of any investigations being announced and show they’re […]
Friday Flakes: Nebraska Basketball Earning Respect – Ranked in Way-Too-Early Top 25
We have been there time and time again. Our favorite team in one of our favorite sports is left out of the way-to-early Top 25. We have rationalized our way into think that our team led by Scott Frost and Adrian Martine should be in preseason Top 25. The good old days. Well fast forward […]
Five Heart Podcast: Sorsby Decision Puts Final Nail in College Athletics Coffin
The talk all week long has been about Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby winning his injunction (with the help of a Lubbock, Texas judge) , how the journeyman quarterback will avoid punishment for gambling on games in which his team was playing. This has united most college football fans to bring down the hammer of […]
Husker Wrestling: Omar Ayoub Wins U23 Pan-Am Gold Medal, Araujo Earns Bronze In Peru
Continuing Nebraska’s incredible freestyle season so far, a pair of current Huskers found the podium at the U23 Pan-American Championships on Thursday in Lima, Peru. Omar Ayoub won a gold medal at 65 kg for Puerto Rico, while LJ Araujo earned a bronze medal at 74 kg for Brazil. Both Araujo and Ayoub won Pan-American […]
Nebraska’s Red-Hot Recruiting Streak Continues with Defensive Line Commitment
Nebraska’s recruiting heater rolled on Wednesday as the Huskers landed a commitment from 4 star defensive lineman Nehemiah Ombati (6-foot-2, 275 pounds) out of Shakopee, Minnesota. Ombati is ranked as the No. 2 player in Minnesota for the 2027 cycle and gives Nebraska another much-needed piece in the trenches. His commitment brings Nebraska’s 2027 class […]
Thursday Flakes: The World Cup Begins!
I’m a pretty big soccer fan, but there is just something about the World Cup that makes it that much more special. I have watched every single minute of every single match since the 2010 South Africa World Cup, and this year is going to be really daunting. Just the sheer volume of matches, mixed […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. These days, college football is never really out of the news and the late spring is […]
Corn Flakes:Grego Freshman All-American, New Women’s Basketball Assistant
What is your favorite summer sport? Mine is swimming. June is when that I am deep in to the swim team life. I love watching my kids swim. They aren’t the fastest swimmers but the improvement and confidence they develop is so amazing. Also, I find something just mesmerizing about watching great swimmers swim. The […]
Nebraska Has a Wildly Successful Recruiting Weekend
Nebraska entered the weekend knowing it had an opportunity to make a major statement on the recruiting trail. With several priority targets in Lincoln and momentum building across the 2027 class, the Huskers delivered in a big way. When the dust settled, Matt Rhule and his staff had secured commitments from four prospects at key […]
Aaron and Todd’s Post-Season Nebraska Baseball Wrap Up and Cleansing
We’d really hoped that we wouldn’t be writing this article the first week of June this year, but our Nebraska Cornhuskers have finished their season and we must face reality. We’ve let the dust clear a bit and given ourselves an opportunity to get our thoughts together to share them with you about the 2026 […]
Corn Flakes: Husker Football Reels in an Impressive Weekend Recruiting Haul
We have entered the part of the calendar year where Husker news is mostly about recruiting and athletic department projects. We have a fair number of the former this week as the Husker football 2027 recruiting class is really turning heads. Given the difficult schedule facing the Huskers in 2026, we will need some hopium […]
Trae Taylor Is MVP of the Elite 11! Can He Break the Huskers Elite 11 Curse?
Trae Taylor has been the most prolific and visible member of Nebraska’s 2027 recruiting class. He is very visible on social media and has very much inserted himself into the recruiting process as well. Despite Ahmad Hudson verbally committing to LSU, he is making an official visit to Lincoln this weekend and it appears Taylor, […]
Jordy Frahm To Join Huskers Softball Coaching Staff
The softball news keeps rolling in as Head Coach Rhonda Revelle announced Friday that Jordy Frahm will join the Nebraska softball staff as a full-time assistant coach. This news comes on the heels of announcements that Frahm is approximately three months pregnant immediately followed by Associate Head Coach of 37 years, Lori Sippel, announcing her […]
Friday Flakes: Where Does Western Nebraska Actually Start?
This is a great off-season topic especially since we are in the actual dog days of Nebraska sports off-season. I know there are still sports competing, like Track & Field but with softball and baseball ending their seasons on the same day I think we will be stretching to find topics until football and volleyball […]
Five Heart Podcast: Husker Commit Shines at Elite 11; Baseball, Softball Seasons End
This episode of the Five Heart Podcast mixed Nebraska sports discussion with plenty of humor and fan interaction. Greg and Fred opened with lighthearted banter before turning to Nebraska’s spring sports postseason results. The hosts reflected on Nebraska baseball’s successful 43–17 season, highlighted by hosting a regional for the first time since 2008, while acknowledging […]
Can Nebraska Football Rediscover an Offensive Identity This Season?
Nebraska has wandered through the college football wilderness for so long that much of its national relevance now lives in memories of the 1990s dynasty. For years, the Huskers have cycled through offensive ideas without ever fully committing to one. Promising flashes have repeatedly flattered to deceive, producing moments rather than meaningful victories. Under Matt […]
Thursday Flakes: NBA and NHL Finals, WCWS, Supers and More
With Nebraska’s ouster in both the Women’s College World Series and the Lincoln Regional for baseball, we have officially hit the summer-time blues. There is nothing really to report on other than speculation about this, that and the other thing involving everything. It’s really a time of year like Seinfeld, it’s reporting about nothing. I […]
HUSKER HEAT – the Corn Nation Softball Show: I Can’t Believe It’s Over
Join us Tuesday night at 8pm CST for the final 2026 episode of Husker Heat which really feels like it came a week too early. Tonight, we’ll talk about the WCWS – the amazing win, the Briski shutdown and another crushing Texas loss for the woodpile. We can also talk about the rest of it […]
Corn Flakes: Puking on the Field and Baby Frahm
This weekend my son’s team had his last soccer game of the season. They fought hard, but came up with a loss. The strangest thing happened during the game though. One of his teammates was clearly not feeling well and ended up puking on the field. As soon as he was off, the ref just […]
Corn Flakes: Elimination Games End Husker Softball and Baseball Seasons
It isn’t fun to write the Flakes article on a Monday like this. Both the Husker softball and baseball seasons are over. The ladies made it to the Women’s College World Series but then uncharacteristically looked overwhelmed by the moment in a loss to Alabama. In the elimination game, Jordy had a no-hitter going but […]
Husker Wrestling: McDanel Dominates U23 Field, Winning National Title and Team USA Spot
Nebraska had three wrestlers this weekend at the U20 and U23 World Team Trials, but they were led by Camden McDanel, a former U20 World bronze-medalist. Sporting a new high-and-tight look, this buzz-cut version of McDanel means business on the mat. Already a two-time All-American for the Huskers, McDanel just blew through the competition on […]
Sun Devils End Nebraska’s Season with 11-8 Win
The take-home from the game this afternoon, as well as last nights, is that Nebraska’s bullpen is not very deep and what can be an explosive offense is not at the level it needs to be for post-season play. Both Arizona State and Mississippi exploited these weaknesses, on top of the fact that Nebraska simply did […]
