Husker Football Game Watches
Our next game watch at Hooters in Topeka will be the bowl game when the Huskers play the Georgia Bulldogs. It’s a New Year’s...
Cobs of the Week: Northern Illinois, Both OSU’s, No "D" in SEC, Paul Finebaum, Replay Officials Everywhere
| This last weekend of the regular season was pretty light on games, so likewise, we come up a little light on the Cob nominations. And no, even though Nebrasketball started the game against cross-state rival Creighton about as badly as it could get, it doesn’t qualify for a Cob nomination. So who does get nominated? Mostly the teams that were so close to glory, and massively failed. Northern Illinois The Huskies started it on Friday night. Northern Illinois was 12-0 and ready to crash the... |
Gator Bowl: Huskers vs. Georgia
| Contrary to the wishes of some Husker fans who dreamed of spending time in Arizona after Christmas, the Huskers are headed back to Jacksonville, Florida and the Gator Bowl. Depending on your perspective, it’s an upgrade over the rumored Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl berth. It’s a New Year’s Day bowl game against an SEC opponent. The downside is that the Phoenix area is easier to travel to than Jacksonville, and there are lots of Husker fans in the Valley of the Sun. The timeslots might... |
Detasseling The Huskers: Episode 57
| Greg and Brian took a few days off, and a lot happened. They talk about it. It’s been over a week since the last show AND since the Huskers’ last (regular season) football game of the year. Brian and Greg finally had a chance to sit down to record this week’s show, talking about the Iowa game (we’re still sad) and the attention that Bo Pelini received during and immediately after the game. The guys also discussed some of the impact players on this year’s... |
CN Exclusive: Meet the New Creighton Billy Bluejay Mascot
| Creighton’s new Billy Bluejay mascot makes its debut tonight. But through the use of subterfuge, we bring you EXCLUSIVE photos of the Carter Lake Jays’ new figurehead! At tonight’s game, Creighton plans to unveil a refreshed mascot to go along with their new conference. We were as shocked as you will be when we saw the mascot. But then we realized that Lil’ Red brought three national titles to Nebraska under Tom Osborne, so it makes sense that Creighton would try and capitalize on that... |

The Corn Nation Twitter 100
| THE essential list of Husker Twitter accounts to follow for the year 2013. Husker Nation may span coast to coast and around the world, but thanks to the magic of Twitter, Big Red fans and alumni near and far can connect like never before. Where else do you get to discuss X’s and O’s (no pun intended) with Touchdown Tommie, get an inside look at a Tim Miles coached practice, and debate the merits of whether or not Bo Pelini is the right man for... |
The CN Staff’s Championship Week Predictions
| Just cause the Huskers aren’t in the line-up this weekend, doesn’t mean you can’t take our thoughts on what will go down and bet against them! Husker Mike: The season winds down…and there’s just a handful of intriguing games this week. (And no, Florida State vs. Duke is not intriguing…) Aaron: I’ve caught myself looking ahead to the 2014 schedule a few times. I’m glad I’m not paying for season tickets, especially since the 80″ screen I watch them on is in a nice climate-controlled... |
Huskers Shut Down Hurricanes
| It was a game only a mother could love. Nebraska and Miami, known for their classic duels on the gridiron battled on the hard wood this time. Only, this time, it might not make it’s way to ESPN Classic any time soon. The Huskers picked up the 60-48 win, failing to reach the Runza threshold, but ensure the Big Ten/ACC Challenge crown remains in the heartland. It wasn’t a game that will be remembered for it’s beauty. In many ways it was one of the... |
Open Letter to Frustrated Nebraska Football Fans
| I know many Husker fans are frustrated after the 2013 season. Fans expected more than 8-4, and that frustration is natural. For some, that frustration has led to outrage. That’s understandable as well. And for a few, that outrage is compounded by Shawn Eichorst’s decision to retain Bo Pelini as Nebraska’s head coach. I’m not going to discuss the merits of that choice. I’m going to discuss how fans react, especially fans who want to put the whole Pelini era behind us and move onto... |
2013 All-Big Ten Football Teams: Abdullah, Gregory, Pace Nebraska’s Selections
| Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah and defensive end Randy Gregory were first-team All-Big Ten football selections by both the media and the coaches. Cornerback Ciante Evans made the coaches’ first team. In all, Nebraska had 11 players honored, but won none of the end of season special awards. The Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year went to Ohio State’s Carlos Hyde, who finished first in rushing in the conference. Abdullah had an excellent season, however, rushing for 1,568 yards and eight touchdowns. His rushing yardage... |
2013 Bowl Projections: Huskers vs Sooners in Phoenix?
| The bowl season is rapidly approaching. Destinations will be determined soon, but right now it looks like Nebraska could match up against either Texas or Oklahoma. Which would you rather play? The staff at Corn Nation put a Big Ten Football Power Poll together over the past couple of months. The last so far this season placed Nebraska at fifth, right behind Iowa, but ahead of Minnesota. This fits into the final Big Ten standings pretty well as Nebraska finished fifth in the conference overall.... |
