Husker Volleyball Hosts North Carolina on the Last Weekend of Non-Conference Matches
Husker volleyball is coming off of a sweep of in-state rival #20 Creighton on Wednesday night and now return to the Bob Devaney Center for the remainder of their season. While PBA is fun to play in, Devaney is their home and is an electric environment. This year has Devaney has been a little too […]
The 24 HOUR RULE: Why Not Let Cut NFL Players Back Into NCAA Football?
It’s probably not just blind luck that Lane Kiffin so often finds himself playing the villain – sometimes self-inflicted, sometimes intentional and sometimes a combination of both, and, no matter the method, he always seems to range from leaning into it to downright relishing it. His history of such moments includes, but is not limited […]
Illinois Fighting Illini 2026 Football Preview
Some of the more headscratching losses over Nebraska’s lost decade have come at the hands of the Illini. Start with Mike Riley’s throw-the-ball-into-a-gale debacle in 2015, the “field a punt at the goal line” mistakes of 2021 or the Dylan Raiola in full retreat overtime offense in 2024. Almost as bad as against Minnesota; we […]
HUSKERS HAPPY HOUR: Week 2 Shows Improvement, On To North Dakota
Episode 2 of the Huskers Happy Hour began with chat about just how the weather went from “old folks will leave in ambulances is 100% guaranteed” to “THIS IS PERFECT FOOTBALL WEATHER” in one single week. And that sent us straight into talk about Owen Chambliss’ getting to make his Husker debut and another amazing […]
Thursday Flakes: Volleyball Wins, Rothstein Buys and More
I did not get the opportunity to get down to the Haymarket area in Lincoln yesterday. From the looks of it, man I must have missed out on some fun. Between the happy hour for all Nebrasketball fans to celebrate our first ever NCAA Tournament wins last season, to having Nebraska Volleyball taking on Creighton […]
#1 Nebraska Sweeps #20 Creighton
This was not the five set match up that we have become accustom to seeing between the Huskers and the Blue Jays in the past few years. Nebraska’s defense held Creighton to -0.033 hitting on the night. The Huskers tallied up 47 digs and nine blocks on the night. Creighton ‘s defense also held the […]
Nebraska vs Creighton VB – Game Thread
#1 Nebraska takes on #20 Creighton. Hope for a squishing of the Blue Jays!
The Athletic is Reporting that Nebraska Football Should be Better and That is Great News
The good news? Nebraska can swing with the big boys. The bad news? They are underperforming based off of their estimated NIL spending. The Athletic published a report that estimated the NIL spending of 68 college football programs based off of investigative reporting with over 70 sources which included “coaches, general managers, personnel directors, athletic […]
Nebraska Football: The Early Season Eye Test
The heart will tell you one thing, the brain another, but it’s the eyes that are the mediator between the two. Somewhere between the feel (heart) and the thought (brain), the eyes will tell both what they need to know. They are the mutual friend to both parties despite their differences. In every sport, trust […]
HUSKERS FOOTBALL Set To Renew Hostilities Against Notre Dame in 2032-2033
Well, call me Nostradamus, but this didn’t take long at all. And, honestly, the Huskers have already been on it well into the future, but with the schedules for ‘26 and ‘27 currently light on non-conference strength of the Power 4 variety, opponents have crowed about Nebraska dropping Tennessee from their 2026 and 2027 non-conference […]

Week 2 Cobs: Mullets, Crazy Quarterbacks and a Fan Calling Plays
It’s that time of week again! Let’s fire up our tractors as we roll our way through this week’s cob nominations. Oklahoma No Bail Mary needed to beat the Sorry Sooners. Oregon The Ducks roll into Stillwater as 23-point favorites and this is what happens?! Is Oregon’s season already over? Ohio State The Buckeyes just […]
The Nebraska Cornhuskers Have Finally Gotten Old – And That’s a Good Thing
”Get old and stay old.“ It’s one of college sports’, and especially college football’s, main tropes when it comes to success. And one which the Huskers did not follow, for the most part, in Matt Rhule’s first three seasons. No more. After three years in which Nebraska rosters were heavy on youth, the pendulum has […]
Nebraska Football Player Power Rankings: Week Three – North Dakota
Welcome to the most recent edition of my Nebraska Football player power rankings. As I have said before, this list will be completely subjective in several ways and may not follow a logical path. Or maybe it will. This power ranking list will be a combination of the most important, most impactful, a recent contribution, […]

Prepare yourself for some exciting volleyball Wednesday night as #1 Nebraska takes on #20 Creighton at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln. The match starts at 6:00 pm CT and will be broadcast on Big Ten Network. Nebraska and Creighton always put on a show when they match up for their in-state rivalry and tomorrow promises […]
Corn Flakes: Anthony Colandrea and Mania Ogbechie Earn Player of the Week Awards
I’ve been watching too much TikTok recently and have been getting frustrated with all the accounts that I am seeing talking about how Nebraska volleyball shouldn’t be ranked #1 and how weak their schedule is. These people are saying that a weak schedule is why Nebraska didn’t win the national championship last year and that […]
Monday Night Therapy: Nebraska vs. North Dakota || Week 3
Monday Night Therapy featured Minnie Hunt and Corn Nation writer Aaron Rastovski discussing Nebraska’s dominant 56-7 victory over Bowling Green and looking ahead to North Dakota. The Huskers produced 546 total yards while holding Bowling Green to just 169, providing one of the most complete performances Nebraska has shown in recent years. The hosts were […]
Corn Nation Reacts Survey: What Are You Liking Most About 2026 Huskers Football?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Nebraska fans and fans across the country. In last weeks CN Reacts Poll, we asked you what was most concerning about the Huskers’ play after the opening game. The results of that poll […]
Corn Flakes: Volleyball and Football Stay Undefeated
This week is Husker Harvest Days in Grand Island. It is a celebration of everything agriculture. The college I work for takes a crew down to staff a booth. Several hundred FFA members attend, so it is a recruiting event for us. I enjoy talking with the high school kids but I have to admit […]
Corn Nation Overreaction: Biggest Takeaways from Nebraska’s Big Win over Bowling Green
Nebraska cruised past Bowling Green 56-7, giving Greg and Jake plenty to celebrate while also identifying areas that still need improvement before Big Ten play. The hosts agreed the Huskers handled an inferior opponent exactly as expected, though an early interception and Bowling Green’s fourth-quarter touchdown showed that Nebraska cannot afford similar mistakes against tougher […]
Report Card: Huskers 56, Bowling Green Falcons 7
It didn’t take long Saturday night to confirm my preseason thought that Bowling Green wouldn’t be able to compete with Nebraska. It probably took a few minutes longer than it needed to, due to Jacory Barney’s mishandle of the second pass of the game. But it was clear early on that the Falcons loss to […]
HUSKERS FOOTBALL Recap – Over & Done By Halftime: NEBRASKA 56 Bowling Green 7
They did play the entire game, and, if we’re honest, it appeared as if someone may have forgotten to alert the team the 3rd quarter had started. But that’s a quibble. I thought about the the last time I’d seen someone treated as badly as Bowling Green was in the first half, and the only […]
Nebraska 56, Bowling Green 7: Is There Anything To Complain About?
Nebraska beat Bowling Green 56-7 on Saturday night in Lincoln, and it was 35-0 at halftime, and it seems like we need to complain about something? Bowling Green held the ball for most of the third quarter. Bowling Green scored a touchdown. The world was apparently ending. Two games into the season, here is what […]
HUSKERS Halftime Recap – Throw in the Damn Towel!: NEBRASKA 35 Bowling Green 0
It’s tempting to do the game write-up now, then just bite the cork of wonderfully distilled bottle of Sailor Jerry fresh from Blackbeard’s personal below decks stash. If you watched the first half, you know what I’m talking about. The Huskers have loaded up a 35-0 lead and have needed no wild rumpus to do […]
Nebraska vs Bowling Green – Game Thread
In the ongoing process of which conference is better, the Big or the SEC, after today’s games, you decide that the Big Ten sucks. Michigan beat Oklahoma something I wouldn’t have expected. Oklahoma State knocked off number six, Oregon, and became the first team with a 10-game losing streak to beat a team in the […]
