| The pride of Grand Island tops the most Husker bracket of them all In a bracket full of native Nebraska hard-working, lunch pail success stories, Tom Rathman has emerged as the ultimate Husker fullback.

With a relatively close vote (60%-40%) the former 49er beat out Joel Makovicka in Corn Nation’s vote. Tom Rathman This one... |

| Photo by Ronald C. Modra/Getty Images Go for the tie? Or go for the win? College football legends are made this way. What is the best Husker football team to never win a championship? There are a few teams that could legitimately be proposed as an answer to that question, but I chose The Scoring Explosion, the 1983 Husker football team. The ‘83 team was ranked #1 in the AP poll the entire season. It was no surprise they were so highly regarded after returning... |
Tom Osborne, Bob Devaney Make ESPN’s Top 150 Coaches In 150 Years of College Football
| ESPN released their list of the The 150 greatest coaches in college football’s 150-year history as picked by their blue-ribbon panel of 150 voters that includes media members, administrators, and former coaches and players. I know you’re curious, but I was not asked to be part of the blue-ribbon panel, a huge oversight on the part of ESPN. Two Alabama coaches, Paul “Bear” Bryant and Nick Saban, garner the top two spots.

It’s an unusual arrangement, but part of a long-planned... |
