Southern Miss Golden Eagles 2013 Football Preview
| With a new coaching staff and only twelve returning starters from 2011, nobody really knew what to expect from Southern Miss in 2012. I don’t think anybody expected 0-12. An eighteen year streak of winning seasons? Gone. And so is head coach Ellis Johnson. One year of Johnson was more than enough for Southern Miss. Worst offense in Conference USA, and one of the worst defenses in division 1-A. Who could blame them? The only question regarding the termination of Ellis Johnson was buying out... |
adidas Unveils New Shoes for Nebraska Football
| Nebraska unveiled their new adidas shoes today on Twitter. New adizero 5-Star custom cleats. Thanks @adidasUS #teamadidas #huskers pic.twitter.com/kF5ZO1OXEw — Nebraska Equipment (@NUequipment) June 18, 2013 New custom FilthyQuick Detach. @adidasUS #teamadidas #huskers pic.twitter.com/gCET2Jxr1W — Nebraska Equipment (@NUequipment) June 18, 2013 Personally, I like the “FilthyQuick Detach” over the “adizero 5-Star” from an appearance perspective. I don’t like the jersey patch on the back of both shoes, though. I thought that patch looked tired when it was first added to the Husker uniform 20 years... |
Monday’s Corn Flakes
| Good Monday morning to you. I hope every one of you had a grand Fathers Day out there. Let us get to the goods huh? ($ = subscription may be needed) From this weekend on Corn Nation, we had a lot of activity about Big Red Weekend. Four verbals from the event, along with two others earlier in the week make everyone happy. Steve Sipple interviewed former Husker Steve Warren, and he had multiple good things to say about Nebraska verbal Mick Stoltenberg in the... |
Future Predicteration: Picking The Best College Football Coach of 2013
| Our SB Nation preseason selections include – picking top Heisman candidates, an All-American offense, defense and special teams, and as a finale, selecting three of the top coaches in college football. That includes a head coach, offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator. Coach – That Sonofabitch Urban Meyer Picking the best head coach in the land is an even more ridiculous job than selecting a single team of All-American football players. The only way to approach it is to select the best head coach of each... |
Big Red Weekend: Nebraska Gets Back On Track…. For Now
| On Friday, I gave my thought on Big Red Weekend and I said this about the guys that were coming into the weekend: You’ve heard of it, but it’s happening today and tomorrow in Lincoln. There are some kids worthwhile there, but others have also cancelled their trips. Guys like Peyton Newell, DJ Foster and Monte Harrison could pull the trigger and commit this weekend, although I wouldn’t read much if they didn’t. Newell himself won’t announce till the end of August, so don’t worry... |
Trai Mosley, Cornerback From Pflugerville, Texas, Commits To Nebraska
| MORE BOOM? MORE BOOM. Checked out everything, campus life was great can’t wait to come on back, but NOW “I am Officially An Cornhusker” !!!! #😤😤 #LetsGetiT — AYE ITS Trai Mosley (@TM__6) June 15, 2013 Congrats to Hendrickson’s Trai Mosley (@TM__6) on his commitment to Nebraska. Looks like another successful #HuskerBRW — Max Olson (@max_olson) June 15, 2013 Saw Trai Mosley at Lake Travis 7-on-7. Tough, physical ballhawk. Size won’t be a big issue. Nice sleeper find by the #Huskers — Max Olson (@max_olson)... |
Mick Stoltenberg, DE from Gretna, Commits To The Huskers
| Nebraska is getting the verbal commitments they desperately needed during Big Red Weekend. #Huskers get first commit of the day as Gretna’s Mick Stoltenberg has committed per @Sean_Callahan. #HuskerBRW — Nate Clouse (@NateClouse) June 15, 2013 Gretna High’s Mick Stoltenberg, the number 2 ranked player in the state of Nebraska per Rivals and the number 1 per 247 sports went ahead and made it official Saturday morning and gave his verbal to the Huskers. This was a surprise to me, as I thought he may... |
Are Husker Fans Excessively Pessimistic About Nebraska Football in 2013?
| This week, the void between the optimists and pessimists in the Husker fan base seemed to be even larger than ever. There are lots of valid reasons for both schools of thought. If you are a “glass half-full” fan, you can see five straight nine-plus win seasons, four shared or outright championships of a six team division in five seasons, and a prolific offense that racks up yardage and points consistently. If you are a “glass half-empty” fan, you see three conference title game losses... |
Zack Darlington, QB From Apopka, Florida, Commits To Nebraska
| Yep, I’m wrong. And I’m glad I was wrong on this one. Apopka (Fla.) quarterback Zack Darlington just committed to Nebraska over Ohio State. Huge get. #huskers — Sean Callahan (@Sean_Callahan) June 14, 2013 Zack Darlington, the Florida state title winning Quarterback form Apopka, committed to the Nebraska 2014 recruiting class on Friday afternoon. Darlington, who had a pretty fair offer sheet, visited Lincoln with his father on the weekend of June 8th. He was scheduled to go to Ohio State the weekend of the... |
Future Predicateration: My Selections For The 2013 All-America Offense
| Picking a single All-America team is quite a tall order when you really look at it. It’s not that difficult when you do it like Phil Steele does and pick four full teams, but if you’re picking one it can be rather difficult to do UNLESS you go with “safe” picks across the board (This is the same thing I said last year, but in real life I’m a businessman and in business, we re-iterate until someone stops us especially when we’re billing by the... |
Episode 32: De-Tasseling The Huskers
| Brian and Greg get the show started talking about the weather (which has since changed). Then the guys talk a little technology (if Ndamukong Suh can donate money so that each player has their own iPad in the locker room, surely we can talk about the iOS 7…..and don’t call me Shirley). Trey (a former Navy SEAL…remember that) asks a good question about tradition in the football and Nebrasketball programs and if AD Shawn Eichort should be concerned. A shout out to the latest verbal... |
The New Huskers: An Interview With Kevin Maurice
| One of the more anticipated incoming Freshman to the Nebraska football team is Kevin Maurice, a 6’3″ 270 pounder from Orlando, Florida. Maurice had several offers from all over the Eastern part of the US, but Nebraska was the best school to come knocking and he answered the door for them. Our friend Evan Massey interviewed Maurice and gave us the scoop on what Kevin said about coming to Lincoln. Q. What made you choose to sign with Nebraska? A. It was a school that... |
