Introducing James Clow – CN’s New Recruiting Writer
| Reese Strickland-USA TODAY Sports Hello my name is James Clow, from sunny Plettenberg Bay, South Africa.

It was a dream to become a professional tennis player but I reached the limits of my abilities unfortunately. I... |

Monday Night Therapy: Talking about Nebraska’s Offensive Line
| I am back from my Canadian fishing trip and this week it’s time to start talking about the 2024 Nebraska football season. We’re going to begin with the offensive line because that’s where everything begins. The game is won, the game is lost on the strength of the offensive line and Nebraska’s offensive line hasn’t been very good for a very long time. One thing to note from last year that’s changed. This year there’s been no talk of Donovan Raiola being a weak link... |
Nebraska Football: Does Memorial Stadium Suffer from Being Moody?
| Reese Strickland-USA TODAY Sports This article isn’t meant to be a declaration of any kind. It is just a thought I had last week when I wrote Friday Flakes on the fact that Memorial Stadium did not make it into EA Sports Top 25 hardest places to play for opponents.

Corn Nation Overreaction Revisits the Final Win of the 2023 Husker Football Season…Purdue
| This week on the Overreaction Revisited Podcast, Hoss and Greg discuss the Nebraska-Purdue game from October 28, 2023. Hoss states that “weird things happen around Halloween.” That is what turned a 24-0 lead into a 24-14 lead and gave the Boilermakers a little hope late in the game. While the offense was sharp for three quarters, fatigue had to have set in and mistakes were made in the fourth frame. Purdue scored all of their points off of turnovers, making the score closer than it... |
Friday Flakes: Nebraska Men’s Basketball Motivated by Potentially Historic Opportunity
| Petre Thomas-USA TODAY Sports Do we dare say that there is some “unfinished business” for Nebraska Men’s basketball. Brice Williams and Juwan Gary met with the media earlier this week and that seemed to be the theme. Williams and Gary are both motivated by unfinished business and through their experience in the NCAA tournament last season they are looking forward to this season as an opportunity to make a historic run for the program. Which is to win one measly game in the NCAA tournament.... |
