The Best Husker Team to Not Win a Championship – 1983 and the Scoring Explosion
| 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. As much as it pains me, I cannot argue with this. It’s nice... |

FIVE NATIONAL (VOLLEYBALL) CHAMPIONSHIPS!
| How good will Nebraska volleyball be in 2018? Defending. National. Champions. Feels good. For the second time in three years, the Husker Women’s Volleyball team returns to the court as the defending national champions. Unlike two years ago, this team comes back with big holes to fill. This year’s title defense begins by playing the team they beat for the National Championship in December, the University of Florida Gators in the VERT Challenge here in Lincoln. It’s an unusual arrangement, but part of a long-planned... |
The Best Husker YouTube Videos
| Because It’s the Offseason and you need a fix of real football! It’s the end of May. Nebraska baseball is done. Football season is more than three months from kickoff, and more than two months from the start of Fall practice. It is the long dark tea time of the soul we call the off-season. You think the off-season is bad for you, the fan, right? Yeah, well, it’s worse to be in the business of writing about Nebraska sports WHEN THERE ARE NO NEBRASKA... |

20 Years Later: The Miracle at Missouri
| “You gotta believe!” Twenty years ago today, Nebraska took it’s #1 ranking down to Columbia to face off against the Missouri Tigers in a game that is now legendary in the annals of college football. SB Nation’s Bill Connelly was there, and wrote about his memories over at Rock M Nation today. I was there too, and thought I’d share my memories as well. Bill remembers more of the first 50 or so minutes of the game than I did; like most Husker fans, we... |
Nebraska Football is Special, But Why?
| There’s reasons that folks get emotional when things go bad. Nebraska football is special. Do not forget that fact. Even with the changes throughout college football, I can still think of several reasons Nebraska is special. But first I’d like to start off with three reasons Nebraska still stands out from the crowd. First, Nebraska fans have continue to sell out football games. This has been going on since 1962. That stat continues to blow my mind every time I hear it. Second, the Huskers... |

Flakes: Huskers Are National Champs
| Husker men’s track wins a big honor, some free agent news in football, and your phone is listening for beacons. Good Wednesday morning Corn Nation! This past Monday morning I woke up to this: Seven hours later, it looked like this: Even though the snow left quickly, the damage was done. We lost two calves to the cold, wet weather and have a third in need of antibiotics and extra care. We have been moving our calving date back a little every year to avoid... |
Tom Osborne: “I Took A Chance Hiring Bo Pelini For Nebraska”
| Interesting statements from the former HC/AD during the Omaha WH Big Red Breakfast An interesting little tidbit came from Tom Osborne today at the Omaha World-Herald Big Red Breakfast. Osborne, in the open microphone part of the session, said things about his hire of former Nebraska HC Bo Pelini. In a way, it seemed like a big mea culpa of sorts. ..“I took a chance on Bo Pelini,” Osborne said. “Bo won a lot of games, but I didn’t really know probably enough about his... |
