Corn Flakes: The Power Conferences Must Split From The NCAA
| The major conferences must demand a change in NCAA structure to give them greater control on how they spend their money. And Ameer Abdullah – could he go to the NFL? Power conferences seeking more autonomy in NCAA – ESPN NEW YORK — The five power conferences of college sports want more flexibility in providing financial support to athletes. A major reason they lack that freedom in the first place is other NCAA members have feared widening the wealthiest programs’ competitive advantage. Now NCAA president... |

Omaha to Host 2015 NCAA Final Four Volleyball
| The 2017 Final Four will be held in Kansas City, and a 2015 regional will be held in Des Moines, which means relatively short drives for Husker volleyball fans to travel. The NCAA has announced that the 2015 NCAA Volleyball Final Four will return to Omaha’s CenturyLink Center, with Nebraska as the host institution. Omaha previously hosted in 2006 and 2008, with Nebraska winning the national championship in 2006. The 2016 Final Four will be held in Columbus, Ohio at the Nationwide Arena. In 2017,... |
2013 Big Ten Bowls: Wins Are Needed!
| Seven Big Ten teams are playing in bowls, and the conference desperately needs bowl wins this year. CN takes Massey’s ratings to examine potential outcomes. The Big Ten needs bowl wins. Badly. The national image of the conference is one that was left behind years ago (70s, 80s, 90s, take your pick), and the only thing that’s going to improve that image is coming up with non-conference wins. Rather than doing a close examination of the teams (time for that later), I thought we’d use... |

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 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.
