Nebraska Cornhuskers Football - Gimme Red 'Til I'm Dead!
I don’t know who performed James Green’s partial hip replacement surgery in 2023, but they did one hell of a job as Green secured his EIGHTH World Team spot for Team USA on Friday at Final X. Out of college, James Green spent much of a decade holding down the 70 kg weight class for […]

As I have for the last 3 World Cup Tournaments, I have currently seen every single minute. It has led to some rather late nights, but the matches have been good enough to keep me awake. From Cape Verde holding Spain to a draw and the USA putting 4 past Paraguay, there has been plenty […]

The World Cup is upon us! I have to admit, I haven’t always watched it and certainly don’t try to get all of the games, but the games that I have seen have been pretty fun. I loved watching the USA match on Friday. Do you watch the World Cup? Who do you have to […]
Nebraska’s recruiting momentum continued this week with the additions of wide receiver Justyn Lindsay and linebacker Caleb Green, two under-the-radar prospects who may not generate national headlines but fit the developmental blueprint Matt Rhule and his staff have consistently targeted. Assistant Head Coach Jamar Mozee once again played a major role in securing both commitments, […]
If you love baseball, the Nebraska metro area was the place to be this weekend. Between the Savannah Bananas and the Men’s College World Series, there was a lot of traffic between Omaha and Lincoln. I know the traffic part because we had a wedding in that area this weekend and we rolled in to […]

Darlington served as an assistant coach in Lincoln for a total 30 seasons from 1973 to 2002, the longest tenure of any football coach in Nebraska history. He was part of Dr. Tom Osborne’s staff for each of his 25 […]
College football has survived the transfer portal. It’s limping through NIL chaos. It’s been dragged through courtroom after courtroom. But gambling? That’s the one thing that can hollow out a sport from the inside — and the Brendan Sorsby case is sitting right at that line. Sorsby is currently eligible to play for Texas Tech. […]
(This article sponsored by FanDuel) This week’s poll was a simple one. You may have heard that Texas Tech has basically announced to the world that they’re fine if their athletes bet on their own team’s games, as long as said athletes have entered rehab well ahead of any investigations being announced and show they’re […]
We have been there time and time again. Our favorite team in one of our favorite sports is left out of the way-to-early Top 25. We have rationalized our way into think that our team led by Scott Frost and Adrian Martine should be in preseason Top 25. The good old days. Well fast forward […]
The talk all week long has been about Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby winning his injunction (with the help of a Lubbock, Texas judge) , how the journeyman quarterback will avoid punishment for gambling on games in which his team was playing. This has united most college football fans to bring down the hammer of […]
Continuing Nebraska’s incredible freestyle season so far, a pair of current Huskers found the podium at the U23 Pan-American Championships on Thursday in Lima, Peru.

Nebraska’s recruiting heater rolled on Wednesday as the Huskers landed a commitment from 4 star defensive lineman Nehemiah Ombati (6-foot-2, 275 pounds) out of Shakopee, Minnesota. Ombati is ranked as the No. 2 player in Minnesota for the 2027 cycle and gives Nebraska another much-needed piece in the trenches. His commitment brings Nebraska’s 2027 class […]
I’m a pretty big soccer fan, but there is just something about the World Cup that makes it that much more special. I have watched every single minute of every single match since the 2010 South Africa World Cup, and this year is going to be really daunting. Just the sheer volume of matches, mixed […]

What is your favorite summer sport? Mine is swimming. June is when that I am deep in to the swim team life. I love watching my kids swim. They aren’t the fastest swimmers but the improvement and confidence they develop is so amazing. Also, I find something just mesmerizing about watching great swimmers swim. The […]
Nebraska entered the weekend knowing it had an opportunity to make a major statement on the recruiting trail. With several priority targets in Lincoln and momentum building across the 2027 class, the Huskers delivered in a big way. When the dust settled, Matt Rhule and his staff had secured commitments from four prospects at key […]

We’ve let the dust clear a bit and given ourselves an opportunity to get our thoughts together to share them with you about the 2026 […]
We have entered the part of the calendar year where Husker news is mostly about recruiting and athletic department projects. We have a fair number of the former this week as the Husker football 2027 recruiting class is really turning heads. Given the difficult schedule facing the Huskers in 2026, we will need some hopium […]
Trae Taylor has been the most prolific and visible member of Nebraska’s 2027 recruiting class. He is very visible on social media and has very much inserted himself into the recruiting process as well. Despite Ahmad Hudson verbally committing to LSU, he is making an official visit to Lincoln this weekend and it appears Taylor, […]
