One Caring Act Becomes Worldwide Husker Salute
by kenlon |
Randy York’s N-Sider “Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end”. Scott Adams, American cartoonist If Saturday’s Veterans Salute warmed your heart at the Nebraska-Northwestern game, you’re going to love this story that begins three years ago with Major Doug Boganhagen being able to enjoy watching Nebraska football DVDs while he was deployed in Afghanistan. The recipient of one small act of kindness, Boganhagen said those videos lifted his spirits and made a difference... |

by Corn-Nation |
Tre’vell Dixon Becomes 1st Husker Commitment for 2013 Recruiting Class Dixon is an Athlete from Baldwin, LA. I’ll put more up on him and any other class of 2013 recruits who commit after signing day. (Note: This may be Deion Jones situation as Dixon is a Louisiana player without an LSU offer. If he has a big senior season, and an LSU offer ensues, I’d say chances would be good that he makes the switch. This is my very definition of the “Soft” commitment.) |
Looking Ahead to 2012 Husker Football: Defensive Tackles
by Corn-Nation |
Looking at the interior defensive line, Nebraska only really loses Terrence Moore. We kind of forgot about Jared Crick, as he got hurt early in the season and really wasn’t much of a factor this season. I guess that’s the downside of returning for your senior season; we can only speculate as to whether the injury will hurt Crick’s NFL prospects. Returning: Baker Steinkuhler, Sr. (starter); Chase Rome, So. (starter); Thaddeus Randle, Jr.; Jay Guy, So.; Todd Peat, RFr. ; Kevin Williams RFr; Justin Jackson,... |
And Corey Whitaker Makes #13: The 2012 Nebraska Husker Recruiting Class Gains Momentum
by Corn-Nation |
A few days after adding Leroy Alexander, the Cornhusker staff appears to have plucked the commitment of another late bloomer away from big-name programs trying to make a late push for a player who bloomed in his senior season. Corey Whitaker, a senior from Vista Murietta HS in Murietta, CA, gave his oral pledge Monday to the Huskers. He is a 6’5″ 270lb OL who is projecting as a guard or center in Lincoln. Vista Murietta. I’ve never heard of it, but it just SOUNDS... |
Leroy Alexander Becomes Husker Recruit #12
by Corn-Nation |
Leroy Alexander wasted no time making a commitment to the Big Red after an offer was extended following his visit to Lincoln. The Whitmer HS senior from Toledo, OH, is a Rivals 3-star Athlete who did a little bit of everything on both sides of the ball. He is 6’2″ 190 and is listed as having a 4.42 forty time. As always, take the forty times with a grain of salt, but in his film, he looks anything but slow. Alexander appears to be a... |
Joe Paterno Dies at Age 85
by Corn-Nation |
Former Penn State coach Joe Paterno died of lung cancer at 9:25 am ET, according to a Paterno family spoksman. Paterno, who was dismissed in November after revelations of child abuse by former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, was diagnosed with lung cancer shortly thereafter. He’s been hospitalized for the past week, and the situation deteriorated in recent days. Like Bear Bryant, Paterno only lived a few weeks after coaching his final football game. Say what you will about the Sandusky situation and how he handled... |

Husker Basketball: Indiana in photos
by Corn-Nation |
A great game to get some photos of the Nebraska Basketball team in action. A huge win over Indiana, and a much needed boost to the morale of Husker Nation. I was feeling nostalgic about old sports trading cards and their cheesy captions, so I added a few here. Thanks again to Dennis Hubbard for the action shots. Enjoy! via assets.sbnation.com Bust ‘em up B-Rich! Brandon Richardson plays tough Husker defense versus the Hoosiers. Senior Bo Spencer drives strong to the rim! Jab Step. Jump... |
Husker CornCast: The current state of Nebrasketball
by Corn-Nation |
We know you’re still upset that Husker football is over for the year. But have no fear, Nebrasketball is….here? Well, at least they’re trying…. Host Jake Sorensen is joined by Brian Rosenthal, Husker basketball beat writer for the Lincoln Journal Star, and our very own Brian Speers, Corn Nation’s basketball writer, to talk about Nebraska hoops and their season so far. Is Doc Sadler gone after this year? Can Nebraska finish above .500 for the cumulative season? Does Nebraska have a legitimate shot at making... |
Nebraska Football Recruiting 2012: We’re Getting Closer…
by Corn-Nation |
Uneasy. I think that’s the word that best describes the faction of Husker Nation that closely follows it’s university’s legal pursuit of high school boys. It’s not too hard to figure out why either – combine a small class (somewhere in the neighborhood of 16-19) with the fact that we have only one early JC signee and 10 verbal commitments with signing day just under two weeks away. At least one of our remaining targets is planning to wait until Feb. 1 to announce. There... |
Looking Ahead to 2012 Husker Football: Defensive Ends
by Corn-Nation |
Our position-by-position look at Nebraska football’s 2012 roster switches to defense. We start up front with the defensive ends. Returning: Jason Ankrah, Jr. (starter), Cameron Meredith, Sr. (stater) Eric Martin, Sr., Josh Williams, Sr., Joseph Carter, Sr.; Tobi Okuyemi, So.; Walker Ashburn So., Donovan Vestal, So.Incoming: Greg McMullen, Avery Moss Andy: Cam Meredith and Josh Williams are seniors? Where did the time go? I can’t help but wonder just what the hell the Merediths think of Lincoln. From California, they sent us their flat-topped clean-cut... |
Blogpoll Top 25: Early 2012 College Football Ranking – The Usual Suspects!
by Corn-Nation |
It’s an early blogpoll, and just like all those guys I complain about, it’s full of the usual suspects! Well, okay, except Notre Dame. LSU at #1 because everyone returns except for Jordan Jefferson. Alabama because Nick Saban is still Nick Saban, they’ll still be a great defense, and the SEC has won the BCS. Five SEC teams are in my top ten. Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson returns for his senior season, and Georgia? Well, I have a soft spot for Mark Richt. USC gets... |
