Thanks, Scott Frost! (To be honest despite the...

Where Nebraska Football Currently Stands: A Strategic, Selective Recruiting Cycle

Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images As June wrapped up, Nebraska football closed a productive month on the recruiting trail, landing eight new commits to bring its 2025 total to 11. On paper, the numbers may not jump off the page—Nebraska currently sits at No. 63 nationally and No. 17 in the Big Ten in recruiting rankings. But context, as always, matters. Portal Priorities Take Center Stage One of the biggest storylines of this cycle has been Nebraska’s clear focus on the transfer portal. The staff...

Friday Flakes: Scott Frost Posts Worst Record in Decades at Nebraska Football By Far — Blames the Job

Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images Reporter: “Hey Scott, looking back at your time at Nebraska, what do you think you learned?” Scott Frost: “I am always learning from my successes as well as my mistakes. We were not as successful at Nebraska as I hope but my focus is now on Central Florida going forward.” The above answer is from Scott Frost in an alternate multiverse. Alas that was not the answer we got to hear from Frost this week when he was asked the same...

Thursday Flakes: Robots, Pirate Treasure and Sleeping at Wimbledon

Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Don’t forget the joke of the week… I’m rather quite embarrassed to type this, or even say this, but until about six months ago I always thought the lyric in Whitesnake’s “Here I go Again” was “like a twister I was born to walk alone.” After looking up the lyrics to do some trivia, I realized the word was actually “drifter”. Boy did I feel like an absolute idiot. It isn’t the first time I’ve misheard a lyric and it definitely won’t...
