NEBRASKA SOFTBALL Recap – A Businesslike Squawks Dismantling: #1 Nebraska 9 – Iowa 1 (6 Inn.)
The headline really does tell the story today. Jordy Frahm plunked Iowa’s leadoff hitter and allowed a run-scoring double down the third-base line to their second which put Iowa up 1-0. The next Iowa base-runner would not reach until the top of the 6th inning with the Hawkeyes trailing 7-1. Bahl retired 15 Iowa hitters […]
Nebraska Regents Approve Memorial Stadium Rebuild
As expected, the Nebraska Board of Regents approved the Big Red Rebuild Project, the $600 million Memorial Stadium renovation that will begin in 2027 or sometime.

Thursday Flakes: NFL Draft, Playoffs and Nebraska Hosts?
It’s always a weird time of year doing these things. Yes, there are still plenty to talk about with Husker athletics, but not having something every day makes it a lot more difficult. Other than that, there is a hodgepodge of things going on, but when your teams suck (Bulls and Flames), the playoffs just […]
HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap – Our Ladies Answer the Bell: #1 NEBRASKA 11 – UNO 4
Anyone who saw the original Rocky remembers this sage piece of advice from Apollo Creed’s (and later Rocky’s) legendary trainer Duke. He was so impressive at delivering speeches and advice such as this that in Rocky IV after Duke’s pre-training monologue, Stallone said, “Thanks, Tony,” using the actor’s real name and it was left in […]
The Big Red Rebuild: Why Nebraska Has to Spend $600 Million on Memorial Stadium
The most expensive stadium is the one you don’t build today. I saw that line somewhere and it stuck with me, because it captures exactly what I think about the Big Red Rebuild — the $600 million renovation of Memorial Stadium that’s about to land in front of the Board of Regents. I don’t see […]

No Magic Tonight, Kansas Beats Cornhuskers 9-7
Coming into this one, a battle between top-20 ranked teams, one had to figure that both teams would come out throwing punches. After their game a couple of weeks back, one would hope that would be figuratively, not literally. Tucker Timmerman took the mound for his first start since Penn State last season. The boy from Beatrice […]

Corn Flakes: Softball is #1 and Grego Earns Double Big Ten Honors
I’m glad the news of Husker Softball getting the number one ranking could distract me for a little bit yesterday. Much of the rest of the day was spent being angry at the post office and the passport office. Over a month ago we applied for passports for my two sons. In order to do […]

Kennadi Williams, pinch runner extraordinaire and daughter of Husker basketball coach Amy Williams, came roaring around 3rd base as the 10th run and an 8-run lead for the Huskers which would potentially end the game if Jordy Frahm could shut things down in the bottom of the 6th.

They scored 2, 5 […]

None of them compare to what happened tonight! Total pandemonium broke out in the bottom of the tenth […]
HUSKER SOFTBALL Recap – Cold, Windy and Victorious: #3 NEBRASKA 4 – Minnesota 0
Today’s MVP would probably have to be the fans, both Minnesota’s and Nebraska’s, who chose to brave this game live and in person. I mean, it wasn’t the Ice Bowl, but It was just one of those days with rain/lightning delay, so welcome to damp seats and 39 degree temps with steady winds out of […]
