Husker Women’s BB Beats Wisconsin, Falls to Iowa in OT

ESPN and NFL Want Changes to the College Football Playoff Schedule
| USA Today and Sports Business Journal report that both ESPN and the NFL are asking the College Football Playoff to alter the schedule for future games. This year’s initial edition delivered huge ratings on ESPN, as it represented a near perfect-storm of favorable circumstances.

Nebraska Basketball: Short Handed Huskers Hold on Against Michigan State

Corn Flakes: Netflix Non-Crappy Movies of The Week
| The first time we tried this, I discovered something I should have already known; there are not a lot of you who will take a chance with a movie you’ve never heard of, and most of you prefer to watch something you’re already familiar with. Well, knock it off. Take some chances, dammit. Venture outside your comfort zone. Here are three recommendations for the week, none of which is a war movie. I must be feeling ill. Or I am disappointed in what I’ve found.... |
Nebraska’s Visitor List For Big Red Meet & Greet This Weekend
| It’s a big weekend with less than 2 weeks to NSD. Here’s who the Huskers are visiting, and the potential commitments. It’s no secret that the loss of Reuben Jones is bad for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Not only do you not like getting a flip from under you (more than likely) in-conference, but Jones’s position of Defensive End leaves the Huskers potentially needing to bring in a lot of kids to see if they can get better at that spot. Fortunately, Ryan Gunderson and Andy... |
