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... |

Oregon Ducks 2017 Football Preview
| When Oregon hired Willie Taggart, I have to admit that my first thought was that Oregon was going to stop being, well, Oregon. I wasn’t thinking about the 250 random uniform combinations that Nike provides the Ducks equipment staff; I was thinking about the breakage from the Chip Kelly offensive philosophy that turned Oregon into one of the most lethal offenses in college football. Turns out that my first impression was a little dated. Sure, Taggart’s offensive philosophy originally was rather traditional with a lot... |
Nebraska Women’s Basketball Summer Update
| After one of the worst seasons in program history and losing the best player in program history, this team is doomed, right? Not so fast….the eternal over-optimist gives you a summer rundown. The 2016-17 Husker women’s basketball team suffered through one of the worst seasons in program history, finishing 7-22 and 3-13 in the Big Ten. It was a perfect storm as a new coaching staff, young team, most difficult schedule in school history, and a lack of chemistry/cohesion with the star player all combined... |
Ahman Green Arrested on Suspicion of Child Abuse
| The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that former Nebraska I-back Ahman Green was arrested late Sunday evening over a family matter. The Brown County Sheriff’s Office only confirmed that Green was arrested on suspicion of child abuse, and that the District Attorney’s office was reviewing the case today for possible charges. The Madison State-Journal reports the case revolves around an incident that occurred on Sunday and that Green was expected to make a court appearance today. Brown County includes the city of Green Bay, Wisconsin. Green... |
Why Is Everyone Predicting A Mediocre 2017 Season for Nebraska football?
| There’s a reason why most outside Nebraska will go 6-6. Nearly every national pundit and big sportsy website is predicting an average season for Nebraska football in 2017. When I say average, I mean average from a national perspective. From a Nebraska fans’ perspective, their prediction of, for example, 6 – 6, is an awful season. So why are they doing this? Here’s a wonderful video I made with great background music in epic fashion that explains it all. I even went so far as... |
Scottsbluff 2019 Linebacker Garrett Nelson Commits To Nebraska Football
| He was the talk of last week’s Friday Night Lights. Today, he is the first member of the Nebraska 2019 class Last week, we told you about Garrett Nelson, the Scottsbluff Linebacker that came to Friday Night Lights, left with a scholarship offer from Bob Diaco & Mike Riley, and was in tears over the offer in joy.

Nebraska Football Recruiting: Friday Night Lights #2 Open Thread
| We’re going to follow the action at Memorial Stadium, come join us! Well, it’s here, the second and final Friday Night Lights camp of the 2016 Summer season for Nebraska Football. It’s a big weekend for Nebraska recruiting, and now NINE of the Ten verbals that the Huskers have are joining the targets at Memorial Stadium. Mario Goodrich made his way to Memorial Stadium tonight, leaving Cameron Jurgens as the only Nebraska commit currently not there. Since he was at last week’s camp, you shouldn’t... |
Nebraska Football Recruiting: Friday Night Lights #2 Recap
| One of the biggest crowds ever for a camp watched a five-star shine & Husker commits & targets galore. On a Friday night somewhere in the vicinity of Stadium Drive & Interstate 180, the Nebraska Cornhuskers coaching staff held a party for not only their fans, but their recruits & targets at Memorial Stadium. Almost seven THOUSAND fans came to the Stadium with a fan fest before, then they hung out in West Stadium to cheer recruits and coaches alike. Five-star DE/LB Micah Parsons was... |
Corn Flakes: Lincoln Riley’s Contract, NBA Draft
| Did you know the NBA Draft is today? And Oklahoma’s new coach Lincoln Riley is getting PAID. The NBA Draft is today. Are you paying attention? Did you even know it is today? Do you care? Huskers Looking for First Draft Pick of 21st Century – BT Powerhouse No Nebraska Basketball player has been chosen in the NBA draft since 1999 Because you needed another reminder of how futile Nebrasketball has been for quite a while. Fiery former Husker offensive lineman Richie Incognito doesn’t disguise... |
Nebraska Recruiting: The Visitor List For Friday Night Lights #2
| It’s probably the best damn visitor list Mike Riley & staff have had in. All on their own dime too. It’s a summer camp. Kids are coming on their dime. Fans will show up, hot dogs, pizza & chicken sandwiches will be eaten outside. But in the time that Mike Riley has been here, there’s NEVER been this much talent on campus at one time that are interested in the Huskers. Not for a Official Visit during a regular season football game, not ever. Think... |
Decoding Langsdorf: Nebraska & The Theory of the Counter Trap
| How the Huskers can now use the off-speed pitch of the run game The Husker running game ineffectively played with one hand tied behind its back for long stretches last season; the hand that would have figuratively allowed for the Huskers to utilize a counterpunch to the Inside Zone body blow, if we were to continue using boxing analogies. A myriad of factors contributed to this, but chief among them was the inability to run man and gap-blocked run plays with any confidence due to... |
Nebraska Baseball: Jake Meyers Signs With The Houston Astros
| Jake Meyers forgoes his last year of eligibility to go play for the Astros With the 391st overall pick in the draft, the Houston Astros selected Jake Meyers. Having one year of eligibility left meant Meyers had a decision to make: finish his career at Nebraska or get started on his pro career. The decision came today as he signed a contract said to make him 125,000 big ones. Congrats @jake_meyers4 on signing with the Astros. You were a joy to watch play the last... |
What Does Scott Booker Bring To The Nebraska Coaching Staff?
| Meet what your new Safeties coach can do. In a move on Tuesday, Scott Booker was announced as your new Safeties coach as Bob Elliott is stepping down from that role. So, what does Booker bring to the table? As A Coach: Many folks from Notre Dame seemed to be thrilled that Booker was not retained in South Bend, not only for his Tight End coaching, but also for his Special Teams issues. The Irish allowed four kick returns for Touchdowns, and four more punt... |
