Road to Nebraska Scholarship Campaign
| The Northeast Kansans for Nebraska isn’t just a fun place to socialize with other Husker fans. We are proud of the support our members have provided to students pursuing a college education at the University of Nebraska. Since 2001, we have been able to provide 20 students with more than $16,000 in scholarships from money that our members have contributed. Currently, our goal is to provide $1,000 each year to two students from northeast Kansas. Last year, the Northeast Kansans for Nebraska established the Road... |

Huskers In The CFL: Interview With Former Nebraska Kicker Brett Maher
| The former Huskers kicker is now with the Ottawa Redblacks Strictly because of the origin of his birth certificate, a certain number of odds were already stacking up against Brett Maher when he arrived in Winnipeg in the summer of 2014. Maher, with his playing days at Nebraska done and a couple of NFL looks not panning out, came north of the border in search of starting a professional football career in the Canadian Football League. The CFL’s import ratio rules force teams to be... |
The Annual “State of the CornNation Union” Address
| This is the annual “state of the union” address. August is a special month at CornNation. This August our website turns 11 years old. I turn two. In the past 11 years, I can’t think of a season that will begin with more question marks than 2017. I do have the problem in that a lot of my memories have been shattered and my ability to look back 11 years and remember the anticipation that went into each season is a little foggy. Still, this... |
Big Red Cobcast: Does Bookie Still Love Us?
| How much longer does our love affair with a beloved Husker recruit last? I’ve been married for almost a decade. I love my wife, and she loves me. Yet, I know there will be moments when she chooses to watch the most boring British television imaginable. Not like the Ricky Gervais version of The Office. We’re talking old people talking to old people about old people things while wearing cardigans and drinking brandy and tea. And I’m pretty sure the brandy and tea are old,... |
Nebraska Volleyball Season Preview
| On Saturday night, August 19th at the Bob Devaney Sports Center in Lincoln, the #5 Nebraska Husker Women’s Volleyball team staged their annual Red-White Scrimmage as a preview for the upcoming season. For an in-depth recap, head over to the Huskers’ website. Stats are available here. One of the biggest stories out of Saturday night match was the absence of setter and three-year captain Kelly Hunter. Hunter has been battling an injury throughout fall practice. While Husker Coach John Cook didn’t disclose what the injury... |
Minnesota Golden Gophers 2017 Football Preview
| Minnesota marked their best season of football since 2003 (and just their second nine win season in 112 years) … by firing their football coach? Granted, Tracey Claeys might not have been the most inspired choice to replace Jerry Kill, though it’s tough to reconcile the results with the choice. And yes, Claeys was undone by off-the-field issues, not the results on the scoreboard. It’s also pretty likely that Minnesota decided to act once they felt they could land the hot, up-and-coming mid-major coach in... |

Corn Flakes: Get Your Tailgate Menus Planned
| Now is the time to stock the pantry for football tailgates and cookouts. We also celebrate the return of Husker sports with the first soccer match this Friday. When it rains, it pours. Literally. The ranch was moving deeper into the levels on the Drought Monitor as we had very little rain in June or July. The past 48 hours have brought somewhere around 7-8”, flooded roads, and flood warnings. We went from trying to figure out how deep some of the cracks in the... |

Big Red Cobcast: Where Have All the Husker WRs Gone
| I thought we had a million of ‘em. I guess this means Danny Langsdorf and Nebraska will be running the daggum ball? College football is a zero sum game. You either win or you lose. You have it all or you have nothing. Who knew how aptly that would describe Nebraska’s wide receiver situation? We recruit somewhere in the vicinity of 749 wide receivers each year (all of them in the top 750 wide receiver recruits, obviously), and now we have, what, three? It’s enough... |
