Cincinnati Bearcats 2025 Football Preview
| Photo by Dylan Buell/Getty Images The 2025 version of the Bearcats bears minimal resemblance to last year’s edition. Season openers are always a bit of a challenge, as what might look like a good (or bad) team on paper might turn out to be just the opposite when games actually kick off. And now in the transfer portal era with so many players switching teams, it’s even more of a challenge. How do these new players fit into another program? Are teams upgrading talent or... |
Corn Flakes: Suh Retires, Matthews Called Up to the Big League, and a Parking Lot Fossil
| Plus, Nebraska football’s 2025 Hall of Fame class has been announced We are at the midpoint of July. It feels like football is close…soon we will have news of training camp battles.

For several years now, I have complained about having a level of ambivalence when it comes to the upcoming Husker football season. I... |
NEBRASKA REACTS Survey Results: We’re Bowling Somewhere Warm in 2025
| Stephen Bruce Or so the fans believe – results overwhelmingly expect at least some improvement. Also, Husker Nation is ready to give John Butler the benefit of the doubt. (This NEBRASKA REACTS Poll brought to you by FanDuel) It’s July which means we’re basically beating the same stories to death which have been flogged since spring ball ended and will continue to get whip marks until fall practice starts, unless something pops up – or pops off. 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... |
