NEBRASKA REACTS Survey Results: 15 Years Later, Husker Fans Are Good with the Big 10…Mostly
THIS ARTICLE BROUGHT TO YOU BY FANDUEL July 1st, 2026, marked the 15 year anniversary of the Nebraska Cornhuskers cutting ties with the Big 12 and joining their new neighbors north and east in the Big 10 conference. So this week, I figured maybe a poll was in order to see how everybody felt about […]
Friday Flakes: Nebraska Quarterback Anthony Colandrea has Opportunity to Surprise this Season
Earlier this week On3 published a list of the Top 10 Quarterbacks in the Big Ten and it is safe to say that Nebraska no longer gets the benefit of the doubt when it comes to these preseason lists. That loss of the benefit of the doubt has surely been earned. With that said, any […]
Five Heart Podcast: Nebraska Offensive Line Discussion
This week on the Five Heart Podcast, the show opens up with discourse about the 2021 Nebraska Cornhuskers, dubbed the greatest 3-9 team in college football history (and not even by us). Why is this team, in the midst of Scott Frost’s tumultuous tenure, regarded so highly, especially by outsiders? The offensive line over the […]
15 Years in the Big 10: Do Husker Fans Hate Like I Thought We Would in 2011?
Let me explain. Back on July 11, 2011, I had only been writing sports for a couple of years – for a Nebraska site set up by a Texas site who were trying to get a Big 12 network going. The Texas site subsequently joined SB Nation and farmed a few of us out to […]
Thursday Flakes: World Cup Quarters, MLB and More
Everyone has already aired their grievances with the United States Men’s National Team, so all I will share is this…the Round of 16 game against Belgium was a word that starts with “s”, ends in “t”, and says “hi” in the middle. No two ways about it. Meanwhile, the MLB All-Star game is next week, […]
Nebraska Reacts Survey: Was the Big Ten the Right Call for the Huskers?
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. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Fine, sure, the nation’s 250th birthday came to pass this weekend, but a week ago, July […]
HUSKERS SOFTBALL 2026 Intermission: Lori Sippel Retires as a Husker Longer Than Any Other
Immediately following the Huskers return from Oklahoma City, Associate Head Coach Lori Sippel went to Head Coach Revelle and let her know she was retiring. During our recent interview, I opined to Coach Revelle that after the June 2nd announcement, it seemed as if everything must have been known and planned in advance when coupled […]
Nebraska Lands Top-100 Wide Receiver Khalil Taylor
Matt Rhule has every reason to be thrilled with the way Nebraska’s 2027 recruiting class is coming together after landing Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, wide receiver Khalil Taylor. Taylor becomes the fourth Top 100 prospect in Nebraska’s class and adds another explosive weapon to what is quickly becoming one of the strongest recruiting groups of the Rhule […]
Corn Flakes: USA Goes Down, Huskers Play in U21 Pan American Cup
Did you watch the US game in the World Cup last night? It was such a disappointment after all of the exciting build up for the US to end it like that. I do have to admit though, this team got me in to watching the games and I am excited to see who wins […]
HUSKERS SOFTBALL 2026 Part 2: The Games That Got Away
Here’s how I led this part of the season review last year: No one enjoys a loss. No one. Coach Rhonda Revelle believes in turning “losses” into “learns” and the best losses are truly games from which you do learn a lesson and become a better player, team and coach going forward. Well, apparently, that […]
Corn Flakes: World Cup, Husker Recruiting News, and Reuben Sandwich Origins
We recently returned from a family trip to London to drop off Ranchhand 3 at his summer internship. It was fun to watch World Cup matches through the eyes of Englanders. They were incredibly supportive of the USMNT and several actually picked us to take the Cup…(what?!?) I finally learned about the flags of the […]
Friday Flakes: Ranking Nebraska Football’s 2026 Away Games for a Road Trip
I’m the type of person that likes to pick a destination based off of what we can do on the way there, while we are there and what we might be able to do on the way back home. Yesterday I stumbled upon a fun video on youtube, which I posted below, which ranks each […]
Five Heart Podcast: The Band is Back Together
You’re seeing it all correctly. Do not adjust your antennae. Minnie is BACK! This week on the Five Heart Podcast, the unexplainable legal trouble of current and former Husker athletes. How does the distraction affect the Huskers? Will this provide some on-the-field clarity as far as who will be the designated number one RB in […]
Huskers Softball 2026 Pt. 1: Best Team Ever? & The Record Books Get Slapped Around Again.
This is the second annual iteration of a 4-part review of the just-completed season of Huskers softball. And obviously there’s quite a bit to talk about after a loaded roster met and exceeded expectations which were high with a 2026 roster featuring 12 seniors following the 2025 team’s coming up one run short against Tennessee […]
Nebraska Keeps It Low-Key for Big Ten Media Days — And That’s Probably the Right Move
I know this is peak offseason content—trying to psychoanalyze the players selected for Big Ten Media Days—but I’m going to do it anyway. Nebraska announced that tight end Luke Lindenmeyer, center Justin Evans and cornerback Andrew Marshall will represent the Huskers at Big Ten Football Media Days in Chicago from July 28-30. It’s a decidedly […]
Thursday Flakes: USA Wins, World Cup Drama and More
I love this particular stage of the World Cup. It’s win or go home, do or die, survive and advance. It’s the time to root for the underdog every single time and be disappointed when the favorites win. I’ve been able to discuss this tournament with plenty of people who hate soccer, but love America. […]
Nebraska Reacts Survey: Husker Football & Live Tunes Combo Plate – Where Do You Stand?
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. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. So, I was digging for a survey question this week, much like I was last week […]
Corn Flakes: Another Memorial Stadium Concert, Johansson Finalist for Bowerman
I hope you all have been staying cool these past few days and have plans to beat the heat the rest of the week. We have officially made it to the part of summer where it is insanely hot and the temps look like they aer going to stay this way for awhile. If you’ve […]
NEBRASKA REACTS Survey Results: The New Uniforms Are…Not Great
(This article brought to you by FanDuel) So this week’s survey concerned the Husker uniform change, which was probably as much a testament as to how little is going on this time of year as much as anything else. But when the hype is images such as this: And the payoff is minor uniform adjustments […]
Corn Flakes: Football Commit Taylor Continues to Impress
Even though the World Cup is being hosted in North America, I have been in London and seeing the enthusiasm here is making me enjoy soccer….errr football…more. The flag of England is flying everywhere. I’m not talking about the Union Jack, it is the white flag with a red cross that is on display for […]
The NCAA Adopts the 5/5 Age-Based Eligibility Model: What Does It Mean? And For Nebraska?
First off, let’s just dive right in. I’ll have an opinion here and there, so I’ll try to put those into italics. But let’s just start with the new rules which go into place immediately. Sort of. But we’ll get to that quickly. Here we go. First note: Call me nuts but does anyone else […]
Friday Flakes: Nebraska Matches Best Directors’ Cup Finish Since the Eric Crouch Catch
We have to go back all the way to “Black 41 Flash Reverse” which is the name of the play Nebraska ran to help #3 Nebraska beat #2 Oklahoma. Crouch ended up catching a 63 yard pass from Mike Stuntz and the rest is history. That was in 2001. Well in 2025-2026, Nebraska earned a […]
Five Heart Podcast: Five for Five
No, that’s not our iTunes star rating (but it should be)! The NCAA announced this week that the world of college athletics is changing as the institution is enacting a new rule for college athletics eligibility. Five years to play five seasons. It doesn’t exactly mean that student-athletes will conclude their collegiate careers by age […]
Thursday Flakes: USA’s Final Group Match, B1G Media Choices and More
Today is the day I have dreamt about in terms of USA Soccer, a group stage match where I can relax. Yes, it’s very important to set out to win every time you play any game, but as a fan it’s nice to know this one “doesn’t mean anything.” Will I be unhappy if the […]
Nebraska Reacts Survey: What Do Husker Football Fans Think About the New Look?
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. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Off-seasons for awhile now have been periods of a much growlier nature than in the winning […]
