The ladies’ conference record now stands at 1-2 after back to back losses. This was a close game for three and a half quarters, but the final five minutes was rough to watch. The Huskers shooting went cold and the Hawkeyes took advantage. Britt Prince led Nebraska with 27 points, followed by Jess Petrie with […]

Deep down, if we’re really honest with ourselves, we saw this coming. At least we should have. A leaky run defense combined with Nebraska’s All-American I-back sitting out the bowl game against a foe who was in the College Football Playoff discussion was simply a bad matchup. Doesn’t mean we have to like it; we […]

There’s some damned good football being played today. Unfortunately, it doesn’t involve Nebraska. Perhaps you’d rather be done with college football for the season, but Oregon vs Texas Tech, Alabama vs Indiana, and maybe even Georgia vs Ole Miss should be exciting and interesting games. Women’s Basketball Nebraska Cornhuskers (20/25) at Iowa Hawkeyes (14/14)Thursday, Jan. […]

It’s one of my favorite games of the year, but also one of the most stressful games of the year, when Nebraska takes on the Iowa. Lucky for me, I get to deal with near heart attacks and anxiety twice a year when we play them. Games with the Hawkeyes are mostly always competitive and […]

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the festivities last night, Nebraska’s bowl game notwithstanding. The new year has started off with the familiar cries here at the Shearer household, mainly by the twins. Take your pick as to whether it’s Briscoe or Helen causing me the issues. All I know is I […]

Are you ready for Nebraska to go undefeated in the non-conference for the first time since the 1928-1929 season? Apparently the Huskers went 6-0 in that season. After tonight, the Huskers should be 13-0 as the gauntlet of the Big Ten sits there waiting for them. Nebraska is a 30 point favorite against the New […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

“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 […]

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 […]

“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 […]

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 […]

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.

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 […]

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 […]
