Nebraska Football 2024 Spring Preview: Running Backs Galore (but one who will not fumble?)

Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images It’s hard to look at 2024 and consider what the offense will look like. Running backs and the rush game are a good example. Last season Heinrich Haarberg was the leading rusher for Nebraska with 640 yards on 120 attempts for a 4 yard per attempt average. Next was Anthony Grant with 104 attempts for 431 yards and after him was Emmett Johnson. The 2023 Nebraska offense was so anemic that looking back and trying to come away with any...

Monday Night Therapy: Nebraska Basketball Is Over. Were The Seasons A Success? (And A Baseball update!)

Chris Day/The Commercial Appeal / USA TODAY NETWORK Nebraska basketball season is over. The men had their best season in 23 years, beat a number one opponent for the first time in over 40 years, enjoyed court stormings and a trip to the NCAA tourney, but they still missed out on that elusive first win. The women got their first NCAA tournament win in 10 years. Were these seasons successful? What about basketball? What were the best, and what were the worst things? And what...

Nebraska Football 2024 Spring Preview: The “Young” Quarterback Room

Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports The elder statesman in the room this upcoming spring is no other than Heinrich Haarberg. The other two scholarship quarterbacks are early enroll true freshmen in Daniel Kaelin and Dylan Raiola. This does not make me feel great about the upcoming season. Unless Haarberg makes a big jump this season (which I am hoping for) then Nebraska is left with starting either a highly regarded true freshmen or a highly regarded true freshman. Neither is ideal at this point which might...

Corn flakes: Basketball seasons end and all of college sports soon to follow?!?

Photo by Ali Gradischer/Getty Images Have college sports become too big to succeed? Greetings from a snowy segment of Nebraska. The snow led to cancellations of both softball and baseball games on Sunday. March Madness hasn’t seemed all that mad this season. Maybe that is because our beloved Huskers couldn’t pull off upsets in the Big Dance. The Big Ten has looked rough in both tournaments. Have the Huskers achieved some success in both the men’s and women’s standings because the conference overall is down?...

Nebraska WBB Loses to Oregon State 61-51

Photo by Howard Lao/NCAA Photos via Getty Images The Huskers end their season in Corvallis despite a scrappy effort on defense Nebraska played a great defensive game, but couldn’t get enough out of their offense to move on to the Sweet Sixteen. Oregon State’s defense was everything it was made out to be – holding Nebraska to one double digit scorer in Jaz Shelley (10). Markowski and Stewart each contributed eight points. Markowski grabbed eight rebounds and Shelley six. Jaz also had seven assists. The...

Nebraska WBB vs Oregon State NCAA Tournament Second Round Thread

Photo by Howard Lao/NCAA Photos via Getty Images Can the Huskers get an upset and advance to the Sweet Sixteen? Nebraska needed every bit of the lead developed over the first three quarters to hang on for the two-point win vs Texas A&M. Oregon State is playing on their home floor and features some of the same strengths as Nebraska – quality play in the paint, rebounding, defense, and a plethora of three-point shooters. One thing to watch is the Beavers star 6’4” forward, Raegen...

Photo by Howard Lao/NCAA Photos via Getty Images Nebraska gets ready to go to battle with Oregon State Sunday afternoon Nebraska fought out a gritty win against Texas A&M on Saturday night. The Huskers saw a 17 point lead dwindle down and at one point lost said lead, but with a few clutch steals and some much needed free throws, NU claimed the 61-59 win. With a rare off night from Jaz Shelley (2-11 FG) someone had to step up. That someone? Freshman guard Logan...

Nebraska Baseball Holds on to Take Series Over NMSU with 2-1 Win

Nebraska Athletics Seven Husker pitchers combined to give up zero earned runs. After a 59 minute weather delay that saw sub freezing temperatures and everything from rain to sleet to snow flurries so thick it was hard to see the field for a few minutes, the Huskers and Aggies were able to get above the “Real Feel” cutoff temperature and play some baseball. The bats didn’t get the memo though. The sprinkled in some hits early mixed with a few walks, but neither team was...

HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap: HUSKERS 16 Illinois 6

Joscelyn Hynes In a game delayed for over an hour because of snow and played in mid-30’s chill, the Huskers crossed the plate 16 times – 12 in the 4th inning alone – aided by 8 Illinois errors. If you follow the UFC at all, you’ve undoubtedly seen one of those knockouts where a dude gets decked and the winner flies over and delivers two or three headshots to the unconscious fighter before the ref can tackle or push him off. It’s one of those...
