HUSKERS SOFTBALL 2025 Part 3: What’s Happened Since Knoxville?
| Andy Ketterson The Huskers may have hung up their cleats on the 2025 season, but, from post-season rankings to 2026 preparation, Nebraska softball is full speed ahead. “Let it burn as bad as it can.

Thursday Flakes: NBA Finals, Gold Cup and Sympathy Weight
| Kyle Terada-Imagn Images Don’t forget the joke of the week… Since my wife has become pregnant, I’ve fallen victim to sympathy weight. I’ve put on a solid 9 pounds since I found out we were having twins. I’ve been the butt of a few jokes, mainly asking when I happen to be due. It’s all well and good, I gained 15 pounds when we were pregnant with our daughter. The fact that we are having twins and I’m older will probably mean I’m in for... |
Nebraska Signs Physical Arizona Lineman Rex Waterman
