Husker Volleyball: Players Era Showcase Preview
The Huskers became just a little bit richer after their short trip Dallas on Thursday night. In their first match against Florida, they got the 2-0 sweep, but definitely looked like they were playing their first match. Both their offense and defense looked rusty, but they came together to get that first win. In the […]
Friday Night College Football Game Thread (8/28/26)
Between the college football games and Nebraska Volleyball’s trip down to Texas, last night was a fun start to the college sports season. Tonight we have another fun filled FCS listing for your pleasure. At first glance, William & Mary at Villanova should be a fun matchup with two fairly decent teams. Villanova is coming […]
Friday Flakes: Projecting Day One Starters for Nebraska Football and ESPN’s Lack of Self Confidence
The Offense Unless you are just now checking into the Nebraska football season, since we are approximately one week away from the first game of the 2026 season, you likely already know that a lot of my projections for starters for Dana Holgorsen’s offense have been made clear with the exception of one position: Running […]
Nebraska Doesn’t Need More Offensive Linemen — It Needs to Develop Them
For the last ten years, Nebraska fans have had to endure anemic offensive line play, with quarterbacks running for their lives and running backs trying to squeeze through seemingly nonexistent holes. During the glory years of the 1990s, the offensive line was arguably the strength of the Nebraska football program. The Huskers could line up […]
Five Heart Podcast: QBs, RBs, and Volleyball – Husker Fall Sports are Ready to Roll
This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Minnie, Fred, and Greg have much to share as we are just nine days out from Husker Football. Nebraska Volleyball opens their season at AT&T Stadium against the Florida Gators with $1 Million on the line. The match might be over before the show begins, but if not, […]
Huskers Are Spikes Under The Lights Champions
Nebraska, Florida, SMU, and Penn State took part in the first Spikes Under The Lights exhibition at AT&T Stadium. Each match was played best of three to 21 points, and all of the teams took home some money. Florida and Penn State each took home $200,000 for playing in the exhibition. SMU got $250,000 and […]
Thursday Night FCS Football Game Thread (8/27/26) -VB vs Florida Opens!
Welcome folks, to the 2026 college football season! Hopefully you have all been itching at the bit to watch some real games that matter because there are plenty of games tonight to satisfy your hunger. It has been an “interesting” offseason to say the least. Between the rule changes, legal challenges, and federal government bills […]
Nebraska Tabbed to Host the 2027 Big 10 Softball Tournament
After a historic season for Nebraska Cornhuskers Softball, the Big 10 Softball Tournament will return to Lincoln for the first time since 2013, making them the first team to receive a second hosting gig since that time. The timing couldn’t be better as they just completed their greatest season ever. The Huskers swept the conference […]
Oregon Ducks 2026 Football Preview
I’m not sure I’ve seen Nebraska have to play back-to-back football games against national championship contenders like they will in 2026 with games against preseason #6 Indiana followed by a road trip to #2 Oregon. (Nevermind the fact that #1 Ohio State is coming a month later.) The Ducks look legit; their only losses in […]
2026 Nebraska Volleyball Round Table
We are just days away from the first game of the Nebraska Volleyball season. Last week’s Red and White Scrimmage just proved what we already knew, there is much to be excited about. Here are our thoughts about the upcoming season. Which Nebraska freshman are you most excited about? Bri: This is a tough one. […]
HUSKERS FOOTBALL 2025-26 Part 4: Who’s Back, Roster Analysis AND…A Depth Chart!
And growing up is a good thing, because a roster which has looked very young for a couple of years now has much more hair on its chest and a little gray in the beards. Fine, I’m exaggerating about the gray, but whatever. If we can’t have a little fun while we nerd out over […]
Thursday Flakes: Nebraska Volleyball, UEFA Champions League, and More
Well folks, we’ve done it! We have made it to the start of many Husker athletics! Bring me your finest meats and cheeses. Time to grab your favorite beverage and prepare your lungs to scream for our teams. I would suggest sitting back and relaxing, but I have three kids, so I wouldn’t even be […]
Corn Nation Conversation with Husker Andi Jackson
I recently had the opportunity to sit down with Nebraska volleyball senior and one of the nation’s top middle blockers, Andi Jackson, for a conversation about her journey as a Husker and what lies ahead in her final season. Andi shares what Coach John Cook said that convinced her to come to Nebraska, how NIL […]

Indiana Hoosiers 2026 Football Preview
Indiana football in recent years has played with a bit of a chip on their shoulders. In 2019, then-athletic director Fred Glass accused Scott Frost of disrespecting the program, which brought a puzzled reaction from Lincoln trying to figure out what the issue was. Turns out that when Nebraska pointed out that the Huskers had […]
Looking for Husker Breakout Seasons in 2026? Try Quinn Clark and Jeremiah Charles
FBS schools weren’t exactly beating down the doors of Quinn Clark and Jeremiah Charles when the Huskers came calling for the 2024 and 2023 classes respectively. Clark, a Husker legacy had only offers from home-state FCS schools Montana and Montana State over which to mull. For Charles, the only offer came from North Texas, but, […]
Corn Flakes: Husker Flag Football Moved Up to 2027
Are you ready for the volleyball season to start? Thursday we will get our first real look at the Huskers in an exhibition against Florida and if they win they will face either Penn State or SMU. I love that hey are starting the year off with tough competition. It gives us a good idea […]
Monday Night Therapy: Husker Offense-Unfinished Business
Minnie Hunt’s Monday Night Therapy focuses on whether Nebraska’s revamped offensive line can finally become a strength. After ranking 115th nationally in 2025 and allowing 33 sacks, Nebraska made major changes, including hiring offensive line coordinator Geep Wade and run-game coordinator Lonnie Teasley. Wade brings an aggressive “dirtbag culture” emphasizing physicality, relentless effort, finishing blocks, […]
Corn Nation Reacts Survey: Should THE STREAK Stay or GO? Cast Your Vote!
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. Last week, Jon ran a piece called “Why Do Nebraska Fans WANT the Sellout Streak To End?” and judging by some of the responses, there are […]
Corn Flakes: Sellout Streak, Colandrea to Start and Corgi Races
The Husker football sellout streak is a topic of conversation every year, mostly because of the worry if this will be the year the streak ends. There is more worry than usual about the fate of this, admittedly hollow, streak. We have all seen the empty seats for years, but the athletic department could claim […]
The North Was Lying: College Football’s Hidden Jim Crow System
Northern schools spent 80 years congratulating themselves for letting black players on the field — and quietly benching them whenever the South came to town. On November 18, 1892, the University of Missouri forfeited a football game rather than play it. No team had ever done that before. Nebraska had a halfback named George Flippin, […]
Maryland Terrapins 2026 Football Preview
Ah, Maryland. Seemingly dependably mediocre Maryland. After three bowl seasons form 2021 through 2023, Maryland has reverted back to the mean, turtleing to back-to-back 4-8 seasons. College football analytics guru Dave Bartoo unloaded on him recently with an ugly truth. Phil Steele looked at Maryland with a lot of returning talent with an easier schedule […]
Does the 500-Mile Radius Still Matter in the NIL Era for Nebraska?
The recruiting world in college football has been turned on its head by the arrival of NIL and revenue sharing, and Nebraska is no different. The divide between the haves and have-nots has arguably never been more pronounced, with money now capable of swaying recruits regardless of blue-blood status or historical standing. For years, Nebraska […]
Corn Nation Is 20 Years Old!!
August 21st, 2006. Somewhere in there is the first article ever written on CornNation. So CornNation is 20 years old. Pretty much today. This all came about by happenstance. I had written in the computer industry for almost 20 years, and when blogging came out around the year 1997, 1998, somewhere in there, most of […]
