Nebraska vs Colorado – Sights and Sounds of an incredible Weekend at Memorial Stadium
| Stephen Bruce Last Saturday night against Colorado had to be one of the most amazing Memorial Stadium experiences I’ve ever had in my life. It was loud, it was wonderful, and it was exhausting, both exhausting and exhilarating at the same time. Corn Nation had a photographer on the field, Stephen Bruce, and he captured a lot of very good pictures of the gameplay, the presentation, and the fans. I have uploaded a bunch of photos that he sent me for your perusal. I hope... |
Thursday Flakes: History, No Let Down’s and Fantasy News
| Dylan Widger-Imagn Images History has a way of making us remember I wasn’t really sure if I had anything to talk about this week. Outside of being neck deep in Husker shirts at work, not a whole lot of excitement in my world. So, I’ll spend my opening dialogue like this: September 11th, 2001, I was an 8th grader at Kearney Catholic High School. I was in Mrs. Volkmer’s Theology class when we started to receive word what was going on in New York City.... |

THE 24 HOUR RULE: The Colorado Game Was the Best of Both Worlds
| Steve Bruce Sure, we wish 28-0 had turned into 49-10 or some such. But would that really have been the best result if we’re playing the long game? Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat. Colorado is a not very good football team with a couple or more exceptional football players. Deion Sanders dove into the portal last year – with the key additions being family and his best other players from Jackson State – and transformed a one-win team into…a... |
Nebraska Football: Turn it up to 11
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images We Spinal Tapped the hell out of it last Saturday I had a weird feeling we might be in for a special night when I got back into Lincoln at 1 pm Saturday. I had just finished playing in a morning golf tournament over an hour away, and after being awake since 4:45 am, I hadn’t even gotten over the bridge to get into town when traffic had completely stopped. The Bob Devaney Sports Center was already filling up with... |

Nebraska Volleyball Beats an Excellent Creighton Team in Five Sets
| Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports This three hour match was great viewing the whole way through Nebraska 3 vs Creighton 2- 25-19, 25-16, 31-33, 16-25, 15-10 This was a tale of two different teams exserting their will at times against the other. Nebraska was firing on all cylinders for the first two sets and Creighton could not find their rhythm. This match looked over part way through set three…but set three was much longer than we expected. Creighton stuck very close through this set, began to... |

Nebraska lands 4-star linebacker Christian Jones
| Christian Jones (6-2.5/215) from Omaha Westside has decided to stay home in Nebraska to join Matt Rhule and the dominant Blackshirts defense. As the number one player in Nebraska and 204th ranked recruit nationally according to 247Sports, this was far from a slam dunk with Oklahoma making a big push to get the powerful linebacker to Norman. He also visited USC and Auburn, which shows the demand for this talented linebacker. ☠️ THROW THE BONES☠️ pic.twitter.com/6GORRfLq8F — Christian Jones (@CJones428) September 10, 2024 After watching... |

Nebraska vs Colorado Recap: What is Holding Anyway? Targeting?
| We will be talking about the Nebraska-Colorado game and, in particular, how the rules are supposed to work. The second half was the worst half of football I’ve seen in a very long time and that was largely due to the officials making themselves known and being clear that they wanted to influence the game. We’re going to talk about what targeting is, what holding is, and of course what happened in the game, especially Ty Robinson because I think Ty Robinson should be getting... |
