| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images There are two non-exclusive ways for Nebraska football to make the college football playoff. First, improve enough from 2024 to win enough games to be in consideration for the playoff. Second, get your athletic director on the college football playoff committee. Well now we know for sure that Nebraska has accomplished the second of the two as it was announced today that Troy Dannen has been appointed to the CFP Selection Committee. Along with Dannen, Jeff Long, who was the... |
| University of Nebraska Athletics Baseball got a series win vs Minnesota The softball team finished up their regular season yesterday with a series sweep over Maryland. They will be the #3 seed in the Big Ten Tournament, which starts on Wednesday. By virtue of being one of the top four seeds, the Huskers get a bye and won’t have to play until Thursday.

| Will Jesske providing some pop for Nebraska | Nebraska Athletics Once the bats came alive, the Cornhuskers pulled away and won another Big Ten series Despite tempting fate wearing black caps, helmets, and socks today, Nebraska was able to once again come from behind to beat the Minnesota Golden Gophers at Haymarket Park. All weekend it has taken the Cornhusker offense a while to warm up, but like yesterday, it woke up in time to get a victory. Jackson Brockett (2-3, 4.01 ERA), looking to... |
| Andy Ketterson On Senior Day, the Huskers dispatched Maryland with another school-record run-rule win and earned a 1st round bye in the Big 10 Tournament as Jordy & Ava Kuszak bookended the victory with a pair of blasts. (Note: Scenes from Senior Day are below.) Years back, a friend took me deep sea fishing off the coast of California for the first and only time in my life. Having been on boats before with no issue, I stupidly refused offers of seasickness pills and therefore... |
| Nebraska Athletics Nebraska completes the comeback after falling just short Friday. It seemed like Deja vu all over again as the game started on Saturday. Nebraska was hitting fly ball after fly ball, albeit getting a lot of the barrel, and when they did get a runner on, failed to move them around and in. Minnesota again, got the first run of the game, this time in the second inning. Two bloop hits put runners on 2nd and 3rd, before a single got them on... |
| Nebraska takes care of business despite an early Maryland lead The Huskers were back in action for game 2 of a 3 game series against the Maryland Terrapins today looking to get, at least, the win in the series. Tomorrow’s game will determine if they sweep or not. While Nebraska was hoping to run-rule Maryland, the Terrapins took them through all 7 innings today, but the Huskers still got the win. Hannah Camenzind finally got the start today after Kylee Magee did not have a... |
| Nebraska Athletics With five teams in contention for the top 4 spots in the Big 10, the Huskers avoided a rampaging Friday upset bug & local lightning strikes to defeat Maryland. On a Friday which felt more like Halloween than May Day, the Nebraska Cornhuskers took care of Maryland while lightning twice appeared in their game and the top of the Big 10 burned. Lightning first delayed the Huskers-Maryland game for over an hour in the top of the 2nd inning and then for another... |
| Nebraska and Minnesota opener delayed by weather but clear skies prevailed to start the series | Todd Wolverton Nebraska ties it late, but can’t notch the win Will Walsh (4-6, 5.27 ERA) has struggled in his last couple of starts, after going toe-to-toe against the Big Ten’s best, Cade Obermueller in a fantastic duel back on April 11 in Iowa City. That night he went seven innings and gave up but two hits. Against both Northwestern and Maryland, the veteran lefty from Leawood, Kansas, was... |

| Nebraska Athletics A good weekend in Seattle has put the Huskers in a good position – but business still must stood upon with a strong finish against the lowly Terrapins. Even with being run-ruled on Saturday, the Nebraska Cornhuskers still had a successful weekend in Seattle taking two of three from Washington, a solid Quad 1 opponent, and brought their record against such teams to 12-10. They hit well against a very good pitching staff and kept their composure against a very loud Washington crowd.... |
| Photo by Ian Maule/Getty Images Hat tip to Robin Washut at On3.com for pointing out that Nebraska apparently has a new general manager. While they went through a thorough search process it looks like they hired within. Luca Virgilio, who was previously the Director of Basketball Strategies and Business Operations, is now Fred Hoiberg’s new general manager. Just like football, the world of NIL has changed basketball and it will continue to move in the direction of looking more and more like a professional product.... |
| Photo by Nathanial George/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images On this episode of the Five Heart Podcast, hosts Greg and Minnie, joined by their spirited community, celebrated Nebraska football’s major recruiting win: the commitment of 2027 four-star quarterback Trey Taylor. Taylor’s dramatic commitment video—initially faking out with an Illinois hat—sparked both excitement and controversy, especially after he received backlash from Illinois fans. The hosts discussed Taylor’s impressive sophomore stats and his potential, while acknowledging the unpredictability of early commitments in today’s NIL-driven landscape. The conversation shifted... |
