Timmerman, Nebraska Baseball Win Friday Night Thriller Over Michigan, 3-2
| Nebraska Athletics Timmerman shut out the Wolverines hot offense over the final 6 of his 7 innings of work.

One player, however, was in for a whole new Friday night experience. Tucker Timmerman, yes he who took the 106 mph ball off the bat... |
HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap – One Step Short Again: UCLA 4 NEBRASKA 2
| Andy Ketterson Jordy gutted it out against a potent UCLA offense, but UCLA’s Kaitlyn Terry saved one of her best performances for when the Bruins needed it most. A few hours after taking home the Big 10 Player and Pitcher of the Year awards, Jordy took the mound in West Lafayette and came up short of what are usually pretty unreasonable expectations. The potent Bruins batting order attacked all day and broke through just enough to put 4 runs on the board, with the one... |

Nebraska’s in-state recruiting is a sign of the future.
| Photo by Keith Gillett/IconSportswire Matt Rhule arrived with much pomp and ceremony as the chosen one to drag Nebraska out of the endless spiral of losing seasons. He placed an enormous emphasis on in-state players on scholarship or the walk-on program. The world of college football has been turned on its head with NIL and roster limits to the point where Rhule had to pivot. To see this playing out in real time, one only has to look at the top-ranked in-state players in the... |

HUSKERS BIG TEN TOURNEY SOFTBALL – Crush & Advance: NEBRASKA 9 Penn State 1

Penn State grabbed a couple of hits after Jordy Bahl plunked their leadoff hitter and pushed a run across for an early lead in the Nebraska Cornhuskers’ opening game of the 2025 Big Ten Tournament. The worry level was exactly zero. Not to be mean, but a Nittany Lions pitching staff decimated by one critical injury simply... |
Thursday Flakes: A New Basketball Recruit, Playoffs and More
| Don’t forget the joke of the week… I want to take the time to spend this opening to wish a Happy 16th Birthday to my nephew Kael. How time has truly flown. When he was born, I had a full head of hair (albeit the grays had already begun), I was decent looking (at least I thought) and I was younger and more spry. I was so happy for my older brother knowing he was a dad and relieved the family name would live another... |
