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 […]
Friday Flakes: Justin Evans Makes a Preseason All-American Team Amid Low Win Total Expectations by Some
What does Oregon’s Dante Moore (QB), Indian’s Charlie Becker (WR), Iowa’s Trevor Lauck (OT) and Nebraska’s Justin Evans (C) all have in common? They were named to the preseason All-American second team by The Athletic. Justin Evans was also named to the Rimington Trophy Watch List for the upcoming season. Here is a statement from […]

The hosts begin by discussing Nebraska volleyball’s Red-White Scrimmage, which drew more than 10,000 fans.

HUSKERS FOOTBALL 2025-2026 Part 3: What’s Happened Since Vegas?
Part 3 of the Huskers season review/preview is here and we’re less than a week away from getting to make fun of my wild guess attempt at the depth chart! However, today’s piece will focus solely on roster movement between the seasons, namely portal transfers in and out and the incoming 2026 recruiting class. No […]
Why Do Nebraska Fans WANT the Sellout Streak to Die?
There’s an article going around that says roughly 10,000 tickets remain for Nebraska’s home games against Indiana and Ohio State. Those aren’t cupcakes. Those are the two programs that played for the Big Ten championship last season. And we’re a few short weeks from kickoff of the 2026 season. Predictably, the reaction has been a […]
Thursday Flakes: 7 Days Until Volleyball, Family Milestones and More
Yesterday, my twins turned 10 months old. What the hell happened? I swear I was just in the hospital watching us get planted by Minnesota just two days before they were born. I seriously have covered the rest of the football season and a full basketball season since then?! I was warned that the days […]
Husker Volleyball: Red-White Match Thoughts
On Sunday, the 16th, Husker Volleyball played their annual Red-White match, but this year was a little different. With growing demand, and some construction in Devaney, the match was held at PBA with 11,000 fans in attendance to get a first look at this years highly touted team. Even though there is a lot of […]
Dana Holgorsen Is a Treasure…and It’s Time to Let the Man Cook
When Huskers Offensive Coordinator Dana Holgorsen steps to the podium for a press conference, I usually have to try and hide my grin. It’s not because he’s a stand-up comedian masquerading as a coach – but he is funny without trying. It’s not just because he loves to talk football and dive into the nuts […]

Michigan State Spartans 2026 Football Preview
Pat Fitzgerald’s Northwestern teams rarely, if ever, out-talented their Power Five opponents. Didn’t matter; they still won. How Fitzgerald’s teams did that is by outsmarting and outplaying them much of the time. Not always, mind you. Remember in 2021 when Nebraska walloped Northwestern 56-3 in Lincoln, only for Fitzgerald to get revenge in Ireland the […]
SBNation Big Ten Wonks Pick Season Records – Somebody’s Going to be WRONG
A bunch of us SB Nation Big Ten wonks got together and picked what our record would be for the 2026 season. Obviously, as you can see, a bunch of people are going to be wrong. The wins are going to come from somewhere, and so are the losses. It’s nice to see that everybody […]
Corn Flakes: Huskers vs. Texas in Primetime, After Short Stint RB Hayes Dismissed
Did you watch the Husker volleyball Red/White scrimmage on Sunday? It was so fun! It is very clear that we are in for an exciting season. I don’t know how DBK is going to pick which underclassmen are going to fill key rolls. Prior to the scrimmage I thought Mania Ogbechie was a shoo in […]
The Return of Monday Night Therapy: What Can We Believe About Nebraska?
Monday Night Therapy focuses on what Nebraska fans actually know about the 2026 offense rather than relying on offseason hype. Minnie Hunt and Jon Johnston examine the measurable progress made under offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, noting improvements in scoring offense, total offense, rushing, yards per play, and third-down efficiency from 2024 to 2025. Holgorsen also […]
Corn Nation Reacts Survey: Which HUSKER FOOTBALL Assistant Is the Biggest Key to a Successful 2026?
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. No one needed to drop $50 to that odd lady on the corner with a PSYCHIC READINGS BY CRYSTAL! neon sign in the window of that […]
How About Some Mid-August HUSKERS SOFTBALL Notes?
As much as it seems like the ladies were just headed home from Oklahoma City, Huskers softball fall practice is only a few weeks away as well as a slate of fall exhibition games. I had recently completed by my 2nd annual 4-part post-season series on the team, but sports news never stops and the […]
Corn Flakes: Volleyball Red-White Game and Fall Football Camp
It is officially ‘back to school’ week at the college where I work. The faculty came back to campus last week and the students start classes today. One faculty member observed, “we get older, but they stay the same age.” It was an interesting observation in that the freshman class every year is right out […]
