Frosted Flakes: Nebraska State Park Travels
| Photo by: Bernard Friel/Education Images/Universal Images Group via Getty Images Nebraska has many great state parks to explore I’ve spent the last week traveling across the northern part of Nebraska and enjoying some state parks. We spent a few days with friends at Ponca State Park to start it off. My kids said the pool was the best part there. Then we traveled with my parents across the entire state to Fort Robinson. I think tubing or a jeep ride up in the buttes were... |
BOOM!!! IWCC KICKER JOSH JASEK IS “N”!!!
| Strong-legged Second Team All Confrence Player from Iowa City, IA Joins The Nebraska Cornhuskers! A Kicker?!?!?! My first ever article as a member of Corn Nation…is a KICKER?!?!?! Guys, did you plan this??? Akelo Roberts gets Richard Torres. I get a kicker. All jokes aside the kicking game for the Cornhuskers prior to the emergence of LSU Grad Transfer, Connor Culp, had been woeful in recent memory. I don’t think I’ve fully recovered from the 2019 season and it’s carousel of kickers and punters (much... |

We are even predicted to end up in the triple digits Wednesday. Not too long ago, Nebraska was the coldest place in the world with temperatures at -30 degrees F (my car dashboard registered as low as -32). While we are a far cry from the hottest place in the... |

Ohio State Transfer Tyreke Johnson Is “N”
| Huskers land 5 star DB transfer defensive back fromTHE Ohio State. Great news from DUUUUUVAL!!!!!!!! Nebraska picked up a gob of potential when former 5-star recruit Tyreke Johnson chose to transfer to our beloved Huskers from Ohio State. Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, he played his prep ball at Trinity International Academy. Super senior Deontai Williams also attended Trinity Int’l and was a senior when Tyreke was a freshman. Their connection undoubtedly helped Johnson choose to suit up for the Big Red. We live a party... |
The 12 Team College Football Playoff Format Is Too Stupid To Be Allowed To Live
| Photo by George Walker/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images I did a reaction video about the proposed 12 team college football playoff. It occurs to me I was not emphatic enough about how stupid it is, so I’m going to try to make up for it by writing an article with more oomph. When you initially look at the 12 team playoff, your reaction is along the line of: 12 teams are better than 4! On campus games in a college playoff? What a great idea!... |
The Problems With A 12 Team College Football Playoff
| Photo by Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images Well, we really have no idea what will go on yet, so let’s pick it apart. “This is the end of college football as we know it” – Jon Johnston It’s not a correct statement, yet. But, it might not be very far off. Change scares the living daylights out of college football fans. Though, it seems that this sport changes every few years. At least more than most sports do. No, I don’t have data to back it up.... |
Nebraska Fall Volleyball Schedule Released
| Scott Bruhn University of Nebraska Plans for 100% Capacity at Fall Events There are 77 days until the first match of the 2021 fall season. For some, it feels like the championship was just yesterday. It was 48 days ago. There is a lot going on in volleyball; transfer portals, extra year of eligibility, Olympics. I suspect these next 77 days will speed by. The University of Nebraska Athletic Department is planning for 100 percent capacity for all home fall sporting events. The volleyball schedule... |
Nebrasketball: Recruiting Check-In

With the end of the dead period brought a furry of official recruiting visits to Lincoln this month. With that in mind, we have a helpful check-in courtesy of Rivals on who has visited or announced a visit thus far since June 1. With that is a brief look at their recruiting profiles.... |

Max Anderson Earns Freshman All-American Honors
| Jon Johnston The Husker third baseman adds another honor to his ever-growing list For the third straight year, Nebraska baseball has a freshman All-American among its ranks. Omaha native burst onto the scene with his first Husker at-bat resulting in a home run. He also hit one out of the park in his last at-bat of the regular season vs Michigan. Anderson was tabbed as the Big Ten freshman of the year and made the second team All-Big Ten list. From the athletic department: Max... |
Samori Toure: A Scouting Perspective
| Photo by Christopher Mast/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images How big of an impact could Toure have for the Nebraska offense Needing to replace the production with Wan’Dale Robinson transfering to Kentucky, the addition of Montana transfer Samori Toure was a welcome addition for the Huskers. For this Scouting Perspective I took a look at Toure’s game against Southeastern Louisiana which took place in the 2019 FCS Playoffs. Toure went off in this game with 303 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Here is what I saw.... |
