Thursday Flakes: Basketball Wins, Baseball Loses and More
| Photo by Candice Ward/Getty Images Don’t forget the joke of the week… It’s officially April. The weather gets warmer, I want to golf more, and I also get to keep one eye on the weather to make sure nothing is going to try and destroy my house. Being a former meteorology major, this time of year makes me excitedly frightened. It is admiring on so many levels just how awestruck mother nature can make me with its beauty and destruction. To be able to go... |
Nebraska MBB Recap: Huskers Control Georgetown 81-69
| Dylan Widger-Imagn Images Huskers face Boise State Saturday in the Semifinals… FIRST HALF ANALYSIS: There was pretty decent flow in the opening minutes, as Brice Williams did his best to get off to a good start. Williams had 6 of Nebraska’s first 12 points. Jordan Burks had 5 of the first 7 for Georgetown. Things would start to get a bit sloppy for Nebraska as they would commit 5 turnovers in just over 4 minutes. Both Georgetown and Nebraska then went on nearly overlapping 3-minute... |
Nebraska Pitching Hands Omaha An 11-9 Win
| Another disappointing loss for Nebraska baseball | Nebraska Athletics Fifteen free passes sink the Cornhuskers Can anyone throw a damn strike?!?!?! For the second night in a row against an in-state rival, Nebraska pitching gift-wrapped a win for their opponent. Tonight, it was against a team that scored eleven runs on eight hits. That is not a recipe that wins baseball games. Midweek games are known to go deep into the bullpen. Sometimes that is by design because most teams do not have that strong,... |

2025 Nebraska Football Spring Preview – Offense
| Stephen Bruce 2025 Nebraska spring football is upon us, and oh, what changes has it seen. There will be no spring game, but instead “Husker Games”, which the athletic department says will include “a complete day of activities for the entire family. Nebraska fans will have the opportunity to get a preview of the 2025 Husker football, volleyball and soccer teams as part of the Husker Games events.” There’s supposed to be 7-on-7 football and I’ve seen a tweet that Will Compton and Jay Foreman... |

Nebraska Wrestling: The Huskers That Led the Team Statistically This Season
| Nebraska’s National Champion Ridge Lovett puts Penn State’s Shayne Van Ness on his back in the semifinal round of the 2025 NCAA Championships. | Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images Lenny Pinto proved to be an offensive juggernaut this season, leading the team with 109 takedowns and 13 reversals Stats in wrestling are hard to come by — except for win-loss and bonus-points. Stats like takedowns, takedowns given up, reversals, and near-fall points scored are not readily available. So, for the second year in a row... |
Nebraska Baseball Pitching Hands Creighton a 9-5 Win
| Nebraska Athletics 10 free passes had Jays all over the base-paths and score board. As has been the case with a lot of the matchups lately between Nebraska and Creighton on the baseball diamond, weather was a factor in how the game was played. The wind was blowing straight in from center. Twice in the middle innings, Husker third baseman Josh Overbeek hit a ball 104 and 105 mph off the bat. Usually a 100 mph ball is over the fence, or at least hits... |

Corn Flakes: Huskers Are Moving On
| Joseph Maiorana-Imagn Images Also, a Matt Rhule Tik Tok? Happy April Fools Day! Do you have any good pranks planned for today? I’ve got a few ready for my students tomorrow. The fake spelling test and the flood drill are always good ones. What’s not a joke is that the Huskers are moving on in the Crown tournament. While a lot can be said about Brice Williams (always) and Conner Essegian, let’s talk about the huge role that Cale Jacobsen played. He was a solid... |
Nebraska MBB Recap: Huskers Make Late Push, Win 86-78
| Dylan Widger-Imagn Images Huskers closed this one out great… FIRST HALF ANALYSIS: Arizona State held a slim lead early, as Basheer Jihad and Adam Miller had all 10 Sun Devil points. Juwan Gary and Brice Williams would keep things close, as Nebraska used a 12-2 run to take a quick lead. The game would go back and forth for quite a while, but then the half got really stagnant offensively. Nebraska had 3 different scoring droughts of 3+ minutes, while Arizona State nearly went 6... |
