Corn Flakes: Swimming in the Seine, Dream Team Camp, and the Home Run Derby
| Photo by JOEL SAGET/AFP via Getty Images Will it be safe for Olympic athletes to swim in the Seine? As much as I love the Olympics it blows my mind the money spent to get a city ready for it. The buildings that are built and the money put in to making sure everything is up to par. The Seine river in Paris has been illegal to swim in for over a century and it is where marathon and triathlon swimmers are supposedly going to... |

Why Bryson Webber is a great get for Nebraska Football
| Reese Strickland-USA TODAY Sports Nebraska had some great news to kick off the week as we get closer to watching some college football with the announcement that Bryson Webber is on board with the Huskers. Webber is a rangy athlete with a great tackle radius and a knack for being in the right place at the right time. This 6-2 175lb defensive back out of Texas fits how Rhule likes to recruit with physical traits trumping other characteristics. Being longer allows him to change positions... |
Corn Flakes: A Four Star Cornerback, Euro Tournament Winner, and RIP Dr. Ruth
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Plus, when will the first Husker be selected in the MLB draft? Wow, that was a hot weekend wasn’t it? I split my time between yard work and some basement remodeling projects. The basement was much much nicer than the yard. As the summer moves along, I’ve been posting interesting [to me at least] stories with Nebraska connections. I don’t usually love true crime stuff, but this story was fascinating. I had no idea about this serial killer before I... |

Corn Nation Overreaction Revisited: That Time Hoss went to East Lansing and Hated It
| This week on Corn Nation’s Overreaction Revisited podcast, Greg and Hoss go back to October of 2023 and Nebraska’s road loss to Michigan State. Hear Hoss rip apart East Lansing and the surrounding areas, as well as his take on Spartan Stadium. As a reminder in this game, and most of the troubles of the ‘23 campaign, turnovers played a decisive part in the outcome. But that Comfort Inn and Suites leaves a lot to be desired. |
Polynesian Pipeline a masterstroke for Husker football recruiting
| Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports Dividends are coming! The Polynesian Pipeline is now a mainstream of the Husker recruiting machine with the recent additions of Offensive Tackle Brian Tapu (6-7/ 295) and Center Houston Kaahaaina-Torres (6-3/ 265). The old adage of winning the game by dominating the lines of scrimmage has never been truer, especially in the rough and tough Big Ten Conference. Both players will need some time in the weight room and training table to get ready to go against Big Ten linemen, but... |
Friday Flakes: College Football Roster Caps Could Be Between 100 and 110 – Should Help Nebraska
| Gary Cosby Jr. / USA TODAY NETWORK Pete Thamel of ESPN has been reporting on the settlement discussions involving the potential move toward Universities directly compensating players. It looks like some common sense has shown up as a potential roster cap number I heard was 85 which appeared to me to be ridiculous. Thankfully it appears that the discussion is now looking at roster sizes of 100 to 110. *The range of roster limits being discussed is between 100 and 110, with the Big Ten... |

After some speculation, Nebraska has a new defensive backs coach. What do we know about John Butler? You have the opportunity to support current and future Huskers if you attend a night practice. We’ll... |
Nebraska Football: Huskers Officially Announce New Defensive Backs Coach John Butler
| Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports Less than a week ago, there was the Friday night news dump that Nebraska’s defensive back’s coach Evan Cooper had resigned for personal reasons. Today, Nebraska announces the hiring of a coach who is was in the NFL last season and will have the same exact position at Nebraska in John Butler as secondary coach and passing game coordinator. Butler has spent the last six seasons coaching the secondary for the Buffalo Bills. He added the title of passing game coordinator... |
