Nebraska Cornhuskers Football - Gimme Red 'Til I'm Dead!
They showed up! Nebraska fans turned out in mass to cheer on their Cornhusker baseball team on a day that flipped back and forth from light rain to beautiful sunshine. Hosting a regional for the first time in 18 years, the seats were full in the stadium with an announced sell out and the berms were full. Along […]

Since this is Friday Flakes and I get to write about whatever I want, then today I choose baseball. Get to know the name Ashton Nance. If this kid ends up being as good for Nebraska as he has been for Johnson County (Kansas) Junior College and plays with the same energy and intensity that […]
The latest episode of the Five Heart Podcast covered a wide range of Nebraska athletics, with a heavy focus on postseason softball and baseball alongside football recruiting. Greg and Fred opened the show discussing Nebraska softball’s Women’s College World Series matchup against Arkansas, praising the Huskers’ remarkable season and highlighting star pitcher Jordy Frahm’s national […]
The ball sailed not deep into the night, but rather into the front of the center field bleachers. Ava Kuszak had just smashed a 2-run homer and when she rounded first, finally sure the ball had left the playing confines of Devon Park, the tears of joy began to flow as she broke into the […]

The end of May has almost arrived, which means Husker fans can delight knowing that the fun is really about to begin. Yes, some of the football games have times that have been released for next season, but with softball competing in the Women’s College World Series for the first time since 2013 and baseball […]
NEBRASKA’S Bracket Is the Harder Road – And That’s OK. First of all, I realize some people might have sped-read the opening six words and thought it was a complaint, it’s unfair, blah blah blah. It’s not – just the opposite. But let’s start with where we are. First of all, the opening round games […]
Nebraska will have two current wrestlers competing for spots on the U23 World Team for Team USA as well as a 2027 commit pulling double duty and competing in both U20 and U23 this weekend. The Huskers have former U20 World bronze-medalist Camden McDanel moving up to the U23 division, while sophomore Ethan DeLeon will […]
With the NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals over and done with, it’s time to hand out some well-deserved awards and I’m not talking about those earned on the field. Instead, it’s those athletes who names brought joy to my heart and imagination. I’ve always been in the corners of legendary parents who named their players […]

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day weekend. Summer holidays are always fun, but I feel like Memorial Day kicking off the summer is always the best one. What a week we are getting in to with the Nebraska softball team heading to OKC for the Women’s CWS and the Nebraska baseball team hosting […]
If you’ve never seen Charlie Wilson’s War, I highly recommend it. It’s an extremely funny movie about a very dark, amazing and crazy era in which the good old US of A armed the Afghans in their war to fight off a Soviet invasion – and then inadvertently screwed it up and helped give birth […]
The pipeline is starting to look very real in Lincoln, and offensive line coach Geep Wade is right in the middle of it. Four-star offensive tackle Timi Aliu from Locust Grove, Georgia announced his commitment to Nebraska today, giving the Huskers yet another major recruiting win in the trenches. At 6-foot-5 and 315 pounds, Aliu […]
Happy Memorial Day! I hope you take a moment to remember those that gave their lives in service to our country. It was a pretty good week to be a fan of Husker diamond sports. The softball team emphatically punched their ticket to Oklahoma City and the Women’s College World Series by sweeping their super […]
Championship Game UCLA Oregon Oregon Starting Pitchers: After the way they dispatched Nebraska last night, there is no question that Oregon belonged in today’s championship game against the top-seeded UCLA Bruins. A year ago, they expected to be in this game as well until Will Bolt’s team on a mission blew up that plan. On a perfect […]
All good things must come to an end. It had been 2 years and 2 days since Nebraska had last lost in Charles Schwab Field, and it continues that no team has ever won 3 Big Ten Tournaments in a row. The usually potent Husker offense couldn’t come up with anything against one of their […]
Game 1 Oregon 9 Washington 4 Starting Pitchers: · Oregon — RHP Cal Scolari (4-0, 3.27 ERA) · Washington — RHP Noah Kenney (4-6, 4.40 ERA) This morning we got our first look at the Oregon Ducks and befitting the beautiful Saturday morning, they wore their gorgeous bright green jerseys and caps. Stunning! And then in the […]
A one-out solo homer by Hannah Coor Off of Ruby Meylan stayed up just long enough to clear the wall in left center and the Huskers had an insurance run they surely craved. The previous inning she had made a diving catch of a sinking liner to stymie a rare Cowgirl chance. There was one […]

Nothing against Jordy, of course. But, let’s face it, a “HUSKERS SOFTBALL MVP!” poll would not exactly drip with suspense. So, quite simply, after Jordy, who’s the one player the Huskers could not do without? Now, some deep thought could get interesting. I included Jessie Farrell here, but if she went down, Carlie Muhlbach has […]
It took a miracle to get this game started. After lengthy delays due to impending weather (or so we were told), the Big Ten set a hard time of 10:20 pm for the UCLA-Purdue game to finish in order for the field to be ready to go by the conference’s deadline to start a game […]
Game 1 USC 7 Michigan State 0 Starting Pitchers: · USC — LHP Mason Edwards (8-0, 1.49 ERA) · Michigan State — RHP J.D. Greeley (0-3, 7.39 ERA) Those fans looking forward to watching Mason Edwards pitch only got a short look as an hour-and-forty-two-minute rain delay drove him from the game after four complete […]
