| Photo by Greg Fiume/Getty Images It was a very good weekend for our beloved Cornhuskers. The Nebraska men’s basketball team defeated Creighton, ranked Creighton, and in doing so held their star Ryan Kalkbrenner to four total points, all from the free throw line. Given his performance before that game, that is a most incredible stat, and I hope it bodes well for the rest of the men’s basketball season. The women lost to Creighton, and sadly, before that, they also lost Natalie Potts, last year’s... |

Upcoming: Washington at Home Momentary Musing: Oregon is 18.5 favorites over Washington this coming week. However, if you have a reason to doubt Oregon might be the 16-13 win over Wisconsin two weeks ago especially when Wisconsin gets beat by 19 by Nebraska. Oregon did have the Bye Week to get healthy so that... |

| Dylan Widger-Imagn Images Oh, and if you are bringing the gravy for Thanksgiving, make sure you check your bag and don’t carry it on It was an amazing weekend to be a Husker fan. Unless you follow women’s basketball. The ladies lost to Creighton, but they can be forgiven for giving up a close one after losing one of their best players for the season. Sadly, if Husker fans were told they could only win three of the four major games this weekend (WBB, MBB,... |
| Photo by Nathanial George/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images This week on the premier reaction podcast/live show out there, the Corn Nation Overreaction, Greg, Hoss, and Jake will break down Nebraska’s sixth win of the season, the 44-25 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers. The Huskers are bowl-eligible for the first time since 2016 and toppled Wiscy for the first time since September 2012. And it happened in Matt Rhule’s second year, Dylan Raiola’s eleventh game, and Dana Holgorsen’s second game. While the two teams traded scores... |
| Photo by Nathanial George/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images The Huskers are going bowling. This is not a drill. THE HUSKERS ARE FINALLY GOING TO A BOWL GAME! Nebraska is bowl eligible. The most ignominious streak of football incompetence is FINALLY over. After nine straight losses following a fifth win in a season, Nebraska finally found a way to get that sixth win of a season. And frankly, the game wasn’t really much in doubt past the first quarter. Nebraska only won four games in 2017,... |

| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images Nebraska beats Wisconsin and in doing so gets to a bowl eligibility but it’s not just that they broke a long streak of not being able to win their sixth game to get the bowl eligibility. Matt Rule won a game in November. We beat Wisconsin. Nebraska beats Wisconsin for the first time and since 2012. There are so many things about this game that were wonderful. Number one, I got to spend the game around 86,000 of my closest... |
| Andy Ketterson It was a 6th win – THE 6TH WIN! It was a beautiful, a sloppy and the bye-god bowl eligible 6TH WIN! (UPDATED WITH GAME DETAILS!) GO BIG RED!! GO BIG RED!!! Dante Dowdell had just leapt over a pile of Badgers into the end zone and carried with him the Huskers’ first trip to a bowl game since 2015. John Hohl prepared to kick the extra point when a brief timeout ensued on the field. Then it happened. A Memorial Stadium crowd... |
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images This non-formatted, off-the-cuff live show is less of a “show” and more of an excuse to get together with the community to bask in the feeling of bowl eligibility. The Nebraska football team exorcised two big demons tonight. A) The first win against Wisconsin since the iPhone 4 was new 2) Being bowl eligible for the first time since the Obama administration. But today, the Huskers put on a dominating performance against the Badgers, winning the Freedom Trophy with a... |
