Frosted Flakes: Husker Baseball Staff is “Safe”
| No changes to Huskers along with some other offseason tidbits I was waiting this morning for news that Darin Erstad was going to be shanking up his coaching ranks and look for a new pitching coach. As we now know there will most likely not be any moving within those ranks. Erstad will be sticking with what he thinks will work out in time. Was it the right move? We will have to wait and see. Ted Silva has taken a lot of heat the... |
Bill Moos On Sports Nightly: Black Friday, Iowa as Rival
| Moos talked. You should listen. Iowa is our rival. Nebraska Athletic Director Bill Moos was on Sports Nightly this evening, and he talked about things that were important to Husker fans. He talked about retaining Darin Erstad, especially a year after he’d won a Big Ten regular season title in baseball. He talked about Nebraska being able to compete for championships. And about not renewing the contracts of men’s tennis coach Kerry McDermott and men’s golf coach Bill Spangler. And about changes in the performance... |

Presumably, Ward saw his chances of future playing time... |
Nebraska vs Oklahoma Every Year? Just Say NO
| Perhaps we might just move on…? Berry Tramel of the The Oklahoman did an article a few days ago about the fact that Oklahoma Sooners fans miss the Nebraska rivalry. These are the slowest college football news days of the year, so of course, it sparked, caught somewhat aflame and has become a topic of discussion. It’s not a bad topic… (yes, it is, I’m lying and I’ll tell you why below.) John Bishop of 1620 The Zone did a twitter poll about the subject…... |
Big Ten Baseball Weekend Preview – Who’s Making The Tournament?
| Does Nebraska have a chance? What Big Ten teams have a shot at the NCAA tourney? Five teams have clinched a spot in the Big Ten Baseball tournament – Minnesota, Michigan, Purdue, Ohio State and Illinois. Six teams are currently at the magic RPI spot of 50, although it’s very unlikely six teams from the Big Ten aren’t going to make the NCAA tournament. The biggest series this weekend (other than Nebraska) is between Purdue and Michigan as the two are fighting for RPI position... |

Nebraska Running Back Recruit Maurice Washington Academic Status In Doubt
| The Huskers will lose the services of one of their best recruits for 2018 Huskeronline has reported that one of Nebraska’s star 2018 recruits will not be eligible to play this fall. Four-star running back recruit Maurice Washington does not have enough core coursework to qualify academically: “He is back in school, in California,” a Nebraska football spokesperson said. “We have him working on a plan that gets him to graduation. Even if he graduates this summer, he is not going to graduate with enough... |
Frosted Flakes: Yanny or Laurel?
| We bring you news about broken arms, a Husker gymnast, former volleyball players and robo-flies. Also, what would you pay to break up with someone? I survived graduation weekend. I started to tear up at one point during the ceremony, but managed to hold back the deluge. Of course, the youngest ranchhand had to get in on the excitement and broke his arm the night before his brother’s graduation. Ranchdude and I were at the emergency room with him until 2 am. Fortunately, no cast... |
Frosted Flakes: It’s Ag Bill Time
| It’s Monday so here are some links to start your week with Believe it or not, agriculture is a big deal around here. Without it the state of Nebraska’s economy would most likely look quite different, I may not be writing for this blog, and NU’s nickname might very well not be the Cornhuskers. Maybe the Man Killing Mastodons would have stuck? We can only dream. If you pay attention to the news at home you might have noticed that it’s time for the US... |
Wide Receiver Keyan Williams to Transfer from Nebraska
| Who is next? The receiver room is a little small today after Keyan Williams, son of former wide receiver coach Keith Williams, has asked for and has been granted a scholarship release from the University of Nebraska. #GBRAlways pic.twitter.com/zntt75HZrV— Keyan Williams (@Primetime_IX) May 14, 2018 As he said, it is 100% about football and likely will try and find a school where the chance to see the field is greater than it currently is with Nebraska. The wide receiver group is probably the deepest and... |
Indiana 8, Nebraska 6: Huskers Drop Vital Senior Day Contest
