Corn Flakes Questions Your Super Bowl Sunday Routine
| It’s Super Bowl weekend! Are you excited? Are you going to/having a party? If you’re having a party, what do you find that people want the most in terms of food and drink? If you’re going to one, what has to be there for you to attend? Why isn’t there a bad sweater alternative for Super Bowl Sunday? Don’t give me this crap about wearing team colors, because there aren’t that many of us who have teams that are in the Super Bowl (damn you,... |

Corn Flakes: Playing Football Before Age 12 Can Cause Brain Problems
| I’ll be blunt. I think having your son starting playing tackle football at an early age is stupid. I am fully cognizant of the fact that by making that statement I’ve pissed off a lot of youth coaches and a lot of fathers along with them, but were you to take the findings of the study linked below seriously, you would not allow your son to participate in youth football until 8th or 9th grade. I get the idea of getting kids involved in sports... |
Audio: Mike Riley’s Phone Call To Nebraska Season Ticket Holders

Well check the messages ZOOMG IT’S MIKE RILEY ON THE LINE. Sounds like this is making the rounds. A fairly nice gesture, although there are some folks who probably don’t care for the phone call type of nature (if you despise telemarketing, this probably was a cooler for you).

Husker Women’s BB Beats Wisconsin, Falls to Iowa in OT
| Nebraska women’s basketball split a pair of road games this week, including a tough-to-swallow loss to Iowa in overtime.

The week started off well with a decisive win over Wisconsin, but ended on a sour note with an overtime loss to Iowa. It was the first time the Hawkeye women had beaten the Huskers since Nebraska joined the Big Ten. Nebraska now has a 15-4 overall record... |

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. The teams were all name teams (Alabama, Ohio State, defending national champion Florida State, and trendy Oregon) and the games were played during the ideal late afternoon and evening timeslots on New Years’ Day. 2016 might be a different matter entirely.... |
Nebraska Basketball: Short Handed Huskers Hold on Against Michigan State
| Saturday’s #AveryStrong game between the Michigan State Spartans and the Nebraska Cornhuskers provided one of the most entertaining games of the season. In front of a crowd of 15,797 fans, the Cornhuskers fed off an atmosphere similar to No Sit Sunday. The Huskers jumped out early, and then withheld a furious Spartan rally to hang on for the 79-77 win. Missing two starters for the majority of the game, the Huskers started out hot, not missing the likes of David Rivers who did not dress... |
