2023 Nebraska Football Preview: Tight Ends

Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images A Position of Transition I found an old Corn Nation article written by our beloved Jon Johnston back in 2009 regarding some of the best Tight Ends in Nebraska’s history. Junior Miller, Johnny Mitchell, Gerald Armstrong, Matt Herian and Mike McNeill are mentioned as the best individuals who donned the Scarlett and Cream in this position. I have only one question, do any of them have any eligibility and would they like to come back for another season? Ok, so...

Five Heart Podcast: Single Digits and Season Tickets (No Relation)

Photo by Gregory Shamus/Getty Images This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Jon discuss the new allowance of single-digit uniform numbers as instituted by Head Coach Matt Rhule. Also, season ticket holders received their physical copy tickets this week. Not only did the Athletic Department hear the cries of the people and bring back physical tickets, they are enhanced with digital extras. We discussed changes in the Big Ten, including the possibility of the championshpi game being played in Las Vegas. Meanwhile, Chip...

Northwestern Wildcats 2023 Football Preview

USA TODAY Sports Only 12 returning starters and a hazing scandal make this a season that the few Northwestern football fans will be anticipating. In early July, I took my family on a vacation off-the-grid (for the most part anyway); I had no internet access, no Twitter, no text messages. I was offline for only a few days, and it was clear that I missed quite a bit regarding Northwestern when I came across the announcement of an interim head coach for the Wildcats. I...

2023 Nebraska Football Position Preview: The Wide Receivers

Photo by David Berding/Getty Images They’re open! Throw it to them! At the end of the season last year, only one thing from the receiving core was certain, Trey Palmer was gone (please come back). Nebraska’s new record setter was a high-powered basketball star, one and done. The only shining constant in a group that was a Forest Gump-esque box of chocolates. This season is far different. We aren’t sure of many of the roles the wide receivers will have in the new offense. From...

Nebraska Football: What The Heck Happened To The 2021 Recruiting Class?

Photo by Patrick McDermott/Getty Images This class looked good on paper, but it’s looking like an abject failure only two years later. No frills, I’m just gonna list the players in this class from QB to safety. Heinrich Haarberg Gabe Ervin Latrell Neville Shawn Hardy Kamonte Grimes Thomas Fidone AJ Rollins James Carnie Teddy Prochazka Branson Yager Henry Lutovsky Jailen Weaver Ru’Quan Buckley Mikai Gbayor Wynden Ho’ohuli Randolph Kpai Seth Malcom Marques Buford Malik Williams Koby Bretz Nebraska signed 20 high school prospects in 2021....

Monday Night Therapy: Nebraska Fall Camp, Pac-12 Destruction, And What Do The New Guys Bring?

Photo by Louis Grasse/Getty Images Yes, that is a new graphic. I prompted Leonardo.ai something like “Matt Rhule riding into Memorial Stadium on a unicorn, looking like a savior” and THERE YOU ARE! ] Todd starts the show by getting his frustration out on people who were rooting for the USWNT to lose. I hide under the desk for a bit. Then we go into an update on what’s happening with Nebraska football’s fall camp. Tommi Hill, lots of linemen talk, lots of comments from...

2023 Nebraska Football Position Battle: Running Backs

Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Who will carry the load? When there is a new coaching staff, everyone is under a new microscope. It’s the perfect chance for the new coaches to analyze what they inherited while scouting who they have brought in via transfers and recruiting. So now the questions arrive, who starts for Matt Rhule? Today we look at the running backs. Anthony Grant: 2022 Season Stats: 218 rushing attempts 915 yards 6 TDs Grant is my assumption to resume the starting role...

Illinois Fighting Illini 2023 Football Preview

Photo by Steve Nurenberg/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Bert Bielema took Illinois to an eight win season and a bowl game in year two. How does he build on it in 2023? If there was an opponent that encapsulated the failure of the Scott Frost era, I think it was Illinois. Nebraska might have had the better skilled talent, but Illinois was simply more physical … and frankly, didn’t make nearly as many mistakes. Lovie Smith may not have been a success, but he did...

Big Ten Gets Even B1G-ger; Oregon and Washington Joining in 2024

Photo by Brian Murphy/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The B1G is getting even B1Gger as they salvage some of the more valuable Pac-12 schools. Thursday, Action Network’s Brett McMurphy disclosed that the Pac-12 had worked out a primary media rights deal with Apple for the “low $20 million per school per year” range. Apple’s primary media rights deal w/Pac-12 expires at end of week, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. Proposal is in “low $20 million” figure per school/annually, but can fluctuate/increase based on membership size & subscription...

Don’t Sleep On 2024 WR Nebraska Commit Quinn Clark.

Pedro Portal/Miami Herald/Tribune News Service via Getty Images He’s our lowest ranked skill position commit. But does he have the most potential? Quinn Clark’s commitment to the University of Nebraska was met with a whole lot of skepticism & a smattering of boos. We beat out, checks notes, Montana State for a commit! There was a whole lot of snarkiness & sarcasm to go around on X. Many people claimed the offer only came because of who his father was (the late Ken Clark, former...

Michigan Wolverines 2023 Football Preview

Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Can the Weasels make the College Football Playoff for a third season in a row? Can the Weasels win a semifinal playoff game this season? Something funny happened to Ohio State’s dominance of the Big Ten. Or maybe it was Jim Harbaugh finally shedding the funny label and replacing it with “champion.” Twice, in fact. In the 2020 COVID season, Michigan went 2-4 and renegotiated Harbaugh’s contract to lower his salary and (more importantly) his buyout. Everyone was preparing for...
