Late Inning Misfortune Strikes Nebraska Baseball Again Against Creighton

Nebraska Athletics The bullpen woes rear their ugly head once more for the Huskers. The full stop headline walking into the stadium tonight was easy to pick up on. Wind. It was going to change the game one way or another. Usually it whips around the stadium out in the middle of the flood plain, or blows straight in from right field, but tonight it was absolutely howling out to left field, something I hadn’t seen in both direction and intensity since Michigan was in...

Monday Night Therapy: Should Nebraska Claim 1915 As A National Title?

Last week, Iowa lost the national title in the women’s basketball game to South Carolina. At that time, I had tweeted out toward the end of the game, “Iowa will not win another national title,” and it started a bit of an argument on Twitter with some Iowa fans who I had trolled, and who started talking about their national titles and how they have more, because Iowa has 24 national titles in wrestling. Iowa will not win a national title. — Corn Nation (@CornNation)...

Huskers Land Utah’s Rollie Worster For The 2024-25 Season

Rob Gray-USA TODAY Sports Huskers gain more experience at the guard position The Nebraska men’s basketball team scored another player from the transfer portal on Monday. Rollie Worster will be taking his talents to Lincoln after spending the past three years at Utah playing for Craig Smith. You might remember Craig from his time at Nebraska as an assistant coach under then head coach Tim Miles. The 6’4” guard had a lower leg injury earlier this year which cut his season short.

Corn Flakes: WNBA Draft and the Most Boring Day in History

Photo by Bailey Hillesheim/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Plus, softball won their weekend series, but baseball did not The WNBA draft is this evening. For most Husker fans, the main person of interest is Jaz Shelley. The WNBA has a three-round draft with 12 picks in each round.

Jaz...

Nebraska Comes Up Short Against Scarlet Knights, Losing 6-4

Josh Kuruda-Grauer has an incredible weekend vs. Nebraska | Rutgers Athletic Department Cornhuskers lose their first series of the season Will Bolt and Steve Owens both hoped that their starting pitchers – Drew Christo and Christian Coppola – would get on top of batters in the count and give them some length in the game. The two righthanders were very similar in that they sported low-90’s fastballs, solid sliders, and a change-up. Unfortunately, neither of them had great stuff and both teams were lucky the...
