HUSKERS HAPPY HOUR: Road Trippin’ to the Vegas Bowl!
Joiin us at 8pm CST for what might the last Huskers Happy Hour of the season. We know all the storylines, the Huskers are supposed to get slaughtered, etc. But what the heck? Why don’t we let them play the game, eh? I’ll also chat about the trip out here, some of the goings on, […]
Nebraska and The Las Vegas Bowl: Six Things I’m Looking Forward to Seeing
You know what? We wait all year long for Nebraska football and are only guaranteed 12 games. Then we make our selves miserable because of over inflated expectations. Or maybe they are reasonable expectations but Nebraska just fails to meet them. Getting embarrassed by Penn State and Iowa certainly does not help. But even after […]
INTO THE WEST: Thoughts from a Vegas Bowl Road Trip – Day Two
The drive from Rifle, CO, to Las Vegas was about as perfect a December 30th driving day as one could ask for when starting in the western Rockies. The temp was only 13 degrees as I hopped down to the Gateway Lodge’s breakfast “buffet”. Yes, they really call it that, but it included scrambled eggs […]
Five Reasons Nebraska Will Win: Bowl Game Edition- Utah
Well this is fun! I’ve had a little bit of a break to wash the bad vibes away and I am ready for the Huskers to dominate in the Las Vegas Bowl. In my six years of writing Five to Win, this is only my second chance to write for a bowl game and I […]
Corn Flakes: Women’s Undefeated Streak Ends, Las Vegas Bowl Loading
I took my boys to the Husker Women’s basketball game today. It was a full house and a lot of fun, even with the outcome. If it weren’t for the quick run that USC went on to start the third quarter, Nebraska would’ve got them. USC is good inside. We got to see a fired […]
MNT: Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Utah Utes Las Vegas Bowl Preview
Minnie Hunt opens “Monday Night Therapy” with Fred Sacco and Fred’s dog Willie as the crew gears up for Nebraska’s final game of 2025, the Las Vegas Bowl against Utah. The mood is a mix of relief and cautious optimism: as fans, they feel the team is “limping across the finish line,” but they also […]
#20 Nebraska WBB Loses to #17 USC 74-66
I was worried about a slow start by the Huskers and in my mind, that meant a slow first quarter. Instead, it was sluggishness coming out of halftime that doomed the Huskers. Nebraska was nails from the free throw line (19-21), but got outworked on the glass 38-25. USC’s excellent defense caused issues for Nebraska […]
Nebraska WBB vs USC Live Discussion
We will find out a lot about the Huskers today. They’ve passed all their tests so far with flying colors, but USC is a different animal – even without JuJu Watkins. The Huskers have scored 80 or more points in every game this season, but USC has a defense that will likely break that streak. […]
INTO THE WEST: Thoughts from a Vegas Bowl Road Trip – Day One
“You know those little monkeys they put on the back of Border Collies with the rodeos? Border Collie runs all over the place. Monkey’s just trying to hang on. No control over where it’s going. No way to get off of without fucking dying. Crowd laughing at him as he whips by.” “That’s you. You’re […]
Corn Flakes: Reflecting on the Year Gone By
It is that time of year where we reflect on the past 12 months and look ahead to what the future holds. 2025 was good to me. Two of the ranchhands got off the ranch payroll after landing their first grown-up jobs. Given the stats that are being thrown around about job prospects for new […]
Nebraska Women’s Basketball Hosts USC in Top 25 Battle
Monday’s game will be Nebraska’s first clash of the season with an AP Top 25 foe, while NET No. 23 USC has already played five games against AP Top-25 opponents this season, including No. 1 UConn and No. 2 South Carolina, along with then-No. 9 NC State, then-No. 21 Washington, and then-No. 24 Notre Dame. […]
Five Heart Podcast: ‘Twas the Night After Christmas and it’s Husker Game Week!
On this episode of the Five Heart Podcast, the hosts will take a long look at the upcoming Las Vegas Bowl match-up with the Utah Utes. It was announced on Friday that Utah’s coach Kyle Whittingham was in the works to be the new head coach at the University of Michigan. Would Whittingham coach Utah […]
Starting Now, The HUSKERS Quarterback Room Is Going Mobile
“You look at our team this year and, both offensively and defensively, the red zone really hurt us in terms of what we’d like to get done. And so the ability to add different run game, especially quarterback run counter, is a great answer for that.” – Head Coach Matt Rhule Very early in Friday’s […]
Nebraska MBB: My Thoughts on the Season so far
At the beginning of the season, I laid out a preview of my thoughts for the year. You can find them here. Now that we are almost entirely out of non-conference play, I figured I would revisit some of the things that have happened so far. It didn’t take long for the Huskers to begin […]
HUSKERS HAPPY HOUR! – Vegas, New Coaches, A Lonely QB Room & Other Stuff
Join us Tuesday night at 8pm CST to talk about everything going this tumultuous season in which drama seemed to pop in constantly like a flatulent unwelcome guest. As a final bow on a season which actually showed slight & continued progress, the 7-5 Huskers were gifted one of the three 10-2 programs who failed […]
Nebraska Football 2025: Honest Reflections on a Season of Disappointment and Hope
The 2025 Nebraska Huskers football season ended not with a bang, but with the uncomfortable silence that follows back-to-back blowout losses. A 7-5 record—bookended by embarrassing defeats to Penn State and Iowa—left fans questioning everything from Matt Rhule’s coaching hires to the program’s trajectory in the Big Ten. Yet as winter settles over the Midwest […]

Nebraska Frager Earns Big Ten Honor Nebraska’s Braden Frager was honored for the second time this season on Monday, as he was chosen as Big Ten Freshman of the Week. Five Huskers Earn Annual Senior Awards […]
Corn Flakes: Nebraska Basketball Teams Remain Unbeaten
Both Husker basketball teams won on Sunday to move to 12-0. Both teams fell behind early and looked like they had long layoffs as they knocked off early rust. Berke Buyuktuncel notched the second triple-double for Nebrasketball this season and only the fourth such performance in the program’s history. Both teams have been fun to […]
Nebraska Finally Finds Their Stroke and Pulls Away to Beat North Dakota 78-55
A game like this was always a concern for this team. Boy can they score a lot of points but with their reliance on the three point shot there will be games like tonight where they will struggle. Luckily, they were playing North Dakota tonight and not Michigan State who they will see in the […]
Husker Wrestling: #6 Nebraska’s Comeback Bid Falls Short against #5 Oklahoma St.
The #6 Nebraska wrestling team faced off against a really talented and well-coached #5 Oklahoma State team on Sunday at the Devaney Sports Center. After a rough start to the dual, Nebraska nearly climbed out of multiple 10-point holes but fell short of the comeback, losing 22-12. The Huskers wrestled in front of 7,094 fans, […]
#15 Nebraska Men Host North Dakota: Preview and Live Discussion
As of this writing, it appears that Nebraska is favored by 29.5-30.5 points in the matchup against North Dakota. So as we set our expectations, we should probably get ready to lower them for the game tonight. Looking over their schedule it looks like 30.5 points might be enough in this game but there is […]
Nebraska Women’s Basketball Defeats Cal Baptist 87-56
Nebraska is finding ways to win even when it’s ugly, even when their star player goes 1-6 in the first half, which might not have been the case a few years ago. This team constantly has people who pick it up when they need it most and my favorite thing about them is you never […]
Live Discussion – College Football Playoff
Your games today are below. I thought I’d put up a fun thread so we could discuss college football today if we like. One thing I’d like to point out today is that the Division II final features Harding and Ferris State at 3 p.m. on ESPN2. So Harding might be fun to watch if […]
The CFP Is On!: And the Nation Picks the First Round Winners
Okay, it’s Saturday morning and one game is in the books, but all of these polls closed Friday afternoon. But if you gamble and believe the majority pick correctly, then these are the polls for you. The bad news? They’re already 0-for-1 after picking Oklahoma to win outright and thereby cover. The games on the […]
Nebraska WBB vs Cal Baptist Preview
The Husker women are looking for their 12th straight win to start the season against the Lancers of Cal Baptist. Nebraska’s offensive output has been a fun part of this win streak, with the ladies scoring at least 80 points in every game. They’ve gone over 100 three times (four if you include the exhibition […]
