2021 Road to Nebraska Scholarship Program Donations
| We are in interesting times, but our mission as a chapter goes on. One of the reasons we have our local chapter of the University of Nebraska Alumni Association is to support the University of Nebraska Lincoln (UNL) and to provide general scholarships to local students who attend UNL Since 2001, Northeast Kansans for Nebraska has been able to provide 28 students with more than $25,000 in scholarships from money that our members have contributed through donations to the Road to Nebraska Scholarship Campaign as... |

Friday Flakes: Spent 24 Hours at Waffle House Because He Lost at Fantasy Football? Not Bad
| Photo by PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images The punishment could have been a lot worse Lee Sanderlin was the worst at fantasy football in his league. His punishment is to spend 24 hours in a Waffle House. His “punishment” is reduced by an hour for every waffle he eats. I am coming to you live from a Brandon, Mississippi Waffle House. I, a total loser, came in last place in my fantasy football league. As punishment, I spend 24 hours in a Waffle House.... |

Nebraska media followed them around, wrote articles about them to give themselves something real for all of us to talk about, at least for a while.... |

| Photo by G Fiume/Maryland Terrapins/Getty Images The B1G will play an 18 game schedule for 2021-22 The Big Ten announced an 18-game women’s basketball schedule for 2021-22. Each school will have a home and away series with five opponents. They will play four single home matchups and four single away games. The Huskers are coming off an 8th place finish in the Big Ten standings; a number that is a bit deceptive as the B1G had a record seven teams selected for the NCAA tournament.... |

I know how much you wanted to cover the commitment of... |
After Struggling on Offense, Scott Frost Is Making Some Adjustments
| Photo by Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images Give him credit where credit is due. He is willing to make some changes in order to win football games. Unless you have been hiding under a rock, it has been plainly obvious that the offensive side of the ball has been underperforming for Nebraska football. The defensive side of the ball on the other hand appears to be the strongest it has been in quite some time. This is not what we expected from a Scott Frost coached team... |

Frosted Flakes: Nebraska State Park Travels
| Photo by: Bernard Friel/Education Images/Universal Images Group via Getty Images Nebraska has many great state parks to explore I’ve spent the last week traveling across the northern part of Nebraska and enjoying some state parks. We spent a few days with friends at Ponca State Park to start it off. My kids said the pool was the best part there. Then we traveled with my parents across the entire state to Fort Robinson. I think tubing or a jeep ride up in the buttes were... |
BOOM!!! IWCC KICKER JOSH JASEK IS “N”!!!
| Strong-legged Second Team All Confrence Player from Iowa City, IA Joins The Nebraska Cornhuskers! A Kicker?!?!?! My first ever article as a member of Corn Nation…is a KICKER?!?!?! Guys, did you plan this??? Akelo Roberts gets Richard Torres. I get a kicker. All jokes aside the kicking game for the Cornhuskers prior to the emergence of LSU Grad Transfer, Connor Culp, had been woeful in recent memory. I don’t think I’ve fully recovered from the 2019 season and it’s carousel of kickers and punters (much... |

We are even predicted to end up in the triple digits Wednesday. Not too long ago, Nebraska was the coldest place in the world with temperatures at -30 degrees F (my car dashboard registered as low as -32). While we are a far cry from the hottest place in the... |

Ohio State Transfer Tyreke Johnson Is “N”
| Huskers land 5 star DB transfer defensive back fromTHE Ohio State. Great news from DUUUUUVAL!!!!!!!! Nebraska picked up a gob of potential when former 5-star recruit Tyreke Johnson chose to transfer to our beloved Huskers from Ohio State. Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, he played his prep ball at Trinity International Academy. Super senior Deontai Williams also attended Trinity Int’l and was a senior when Tyreke was a freshman. Their connection undoubtedly helped Johnson choose to suit up for the Big Red. We live a party... |
The 12 Team College Football Playoff Format Is Too Stupid To Be Allowed To Live
| Photo by George Walker/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images I did a reaction video about the proposed 12 team college football playoff. It occurs to me I was not emphatic enough about how stupid it is, so I’m going to try to make up for it by writing an article with more oomph. When you initially look at the 12 team playoff, your reaction is along the line of: 12 teams are better than 4! On campus games in a college playoff? What a great idea!... |
