Nebraska WBB vs Purdue Preview
After back-to-back losses to ranked conference opponents, the Husker women look to right the ship when hosting the Purdue Boilermakers. Nebraska had an excellent 12-0 start to the season, but did not face a murderer’s row in non-conference play – the USC and Iowa games were going to be the litmus test. The Huskers hung […]
Nebraska football portal tracker
The Nebraska football season has come to a frustrating end after a disappointing 44–22 hammering at the hands of Utah, and attention now turns fully to the transfer portal. The winter portal window runs from January 2 through January 16, during which players must enter their names to be contacted by other programs. With major […]
Nebraska MBB Recap: Nebraska is Still Undefeated with a 58-56 Win!!
FIRST HALF ANALYSIS: If you were looking for explosives, then you were in for a large dud in the first 4 minutes of the game. Both teams were playing “brick city nights”, as both teams were a combined 2-13 in the opening 4 minutes, with the score tied at 3. Pryce Sandfort, who averages 15 […]
Reaction: Nebraska Basketball Stuns #9 Michigan State in Defensive Battle at Pinnacle Bank Arena
In what can only be described as a historical night in Lincoln, Nebraska basketball defeated #9 Michigan State 58-56 at Pinnacle Bank Arena, improving to 14-0 on the season and 3-0 in Big Ten play. For a fanbase more accustomed to football heartbreak than basketball triumph, this victory represents something potentially transformative for a program […]

The Nebraska Portal Needs Laid Bare After the Utah Beatdown
Nebraska limped to the finish line of the 2025 season with what was supposed to be the much-vaunted Year 3 of the Matt Rhule era. Instead, blowout losses to Iowa, Penn State, and most recently Utah stripped away any remaining illusions about where this roster truly stands. Those games didn’t just sting — they exposed. […]
Husker Wrestling: Starting With #16 UNI on Saturday, NU Will Face Some of the Best in 2026
The first semester is officially over as we turn our calendars over to 2026 — Nebraska is 6-3 in duals, won another title at the Navy Classic and placed fourth at the National Duals Invitational. The 6th-ranked Huskers have dropped duals to #2 Ohio State (33-3) and twice to #5 Oklahoma State (33-6 and 22-12). […]

Nebraska WBB Loses to Iowa 86-76
The ladies’ conference record now stands at 1-2 after back to back losses. This was a close game for three and a half quarters, but the final five minutes was rough to watch. The Huskers shooting went cold and the Hawkeyes took advantage. Britt Prince led Nebraska with 27 points, followed by Jess Petrie with […]
Report Card: Utah Utes 44, Huskers 22
Deep down, if we’re really honest with ourselves, we saw this coming. At least we should have. A leaky run defense combined with Nebraska’s All-American I-back sitting out the bowl game against a foe who was in the College Football Playoff discussion was simply a bad matchup. Doesn’t mean we have to like it; we […]
New Year’s Day Football & WBB vs Iowa- Live Discussion
There’s some damned good football being played today. Unfortunately, it doesn’t involve Nebraska. Perhaps you’d rather be done with college football for the season, but Oregon vs Texas Tech, Alabama vs Indiana, and maybe even Georgia vs Ole Miss should be exciting and interesting games. Women’s Basketball Nebraska Cornhuskers (20/25) at Iowa Hawkeyes (14/14)Thursday, Jan. […]
#20 Nebraska Women’s Basketball Preview: #14 Iowa Hawkeyes Battle of the Border
It’s one of my favorite games of the year, but also one of the most stressful games of the year, when Nebraska takes on the Iowa. Lucky for me, I get to deal with near heart attacks and anxiety twice a year when we play them. Games with the Hawkeyes are mostly always competitive and […]
Thursday Flakes: Happy New Year, CFP and Huskers Bowl Loss
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the festivities last night, Nebraska’s bowl game notwithstanding. The new year has started off with the familiar cries here at the Shearer household, mainly by the twins. Take your pick as to whether it’s Briscoe or Helen causing me the issues. All I know is I […]
#13 Nebraska Basketball vs New Hampshire: Preview and Live Discussion
Are you ready for Nebraska to go undefeated in the non-conference for the first time since the 1928-1929 season? Apparently the Huskers went 6-0 in that season. After tonight, the Huskers should be 13-0 as the gauntlet of the Big Ten sits there waiting for them. Nebraska is a 30 point favorite against the New […]
HUSKERS HAPPY HOUR: Road Trippin’ to the Vegas Bowl!
Joiin us at 8pm CST for what might the last Huskers Happy Hour of the season. We know all the storylines, the Huskers are supposed to get slaughtered, etc. But what the heck? Why don’t we let them play the game, eh? I’ll also chat about the trip out here, some of the goings on, […]
Nebraska and The Las Vegas Bowl: Six Things I’m Looking Forward to Seeing
You know what? We wait all year long for Nebraska football and are only guaranteed 12 games. Then we make our selves miserable because of over inflated expectations. Or maybe they are reasonable expectations but Nebraska just fails to meet them. Getting embarrassed by Penn State and Iowa certainly does not help. But even after […]
INTO THE WEST: Thoughts from a Vegas Bowl Road Trip – Day Two
The drive from Rifle, CO, to Las Vegas was about as perfect a December 30th driving day as one could ask for when starting in the western Rockies. The temp was only 13 degrees as I hopped down to the Gateway Lodge’s breakfast “buffet”. Yes, they really call it that, but it included scrambled eggs […]
Five Reasons Nebraska Will Win: Bowl Game Edition- Utah
Well this is fun! I’ve had a little bit of a break to wash the bad vibes away and I am ready for the Huskers to dominate in the Las Vegas Bowl. In my six years of writing Five to Win, this is only my second chance to write for a bowl game and I […]
Corn Flakes: Women’s Undefeated Streak Ends, Las Vegas Bowl Loading
I took my boys to the Husker Women’s basketball game today. It was a full house and a lot of fun, even with the outcome. If it weren’t for the quick run that USC went on to start the third quarter, Nebraska would’ve got them. USC is good inside. We got to see a fired […]
MNT: Nebraska Cornhuskers vs. Utah Utes Las Vegas Bowl Preview
Minnie Hunt opens “Monday Night Therapy” with Fred Sacco and Fred’s dog Willie as the crew gears up for Nebraska’s final game of 2025, the Las Vegas Bowl against Utah. The mood is a mix of relief and cautious optimism: as fans, they feel the team is “limping across the finish line,” but they also […]
#20 Nebraska WBB Loses to #17 USC 74-66
I was worried about a slow start by the Huskers and in my mind, that meant a slow first quarter. Instead, it was sluggishness coming out of halftime that doomed the Huskers. Nebraska was nails from the free throw line (19-21), but got outworked on the glass 38-25. USC’s excellent defense caused issues for Nebraska […]
Nebraska WBB vs USC Live Discussion
We will find out a lot about the Huskers today. They’ve passed all their tests so far with flying colors, but USC is a different animal – even without JuJu Watkins. The Huskers have scored 80 or more points in every game this season, but USC has a defense that will likely break that streak. […]
INTO THE WEST: Thoughts from a Vegas Bowl Road Trip – Day One
“You know those little monkeys they put on the back of Border Collies with the rodeos? Border Collie runs all over the place. Monkey’s just trying to hang on. No control over where it’s going. No way to get off of without fucking dying. Crowd laughing at him as he whips by.” “That’s you. You’re […]
Corn Flakes: Reflecting on the Year Gone By
It is that time of year where we reflect on the past 12 months and look ahead to what the future holds. 2025 was good to me. Two of the ranchhands got off the ranch payroll after landing their first grown-up jobs. Given the stats that are being thrown around about job prospects for new […]
Nebraska Women’s Basketball Hosts USC in Top 25 Battle
Monday’s game will be Nebraska’s first clash of the season with an AP Top 25 foe, while NET No. 23 USC has already played five games against AP Top-25 opponents this season, including No. 1 UConn and No. 2 South Carolina, along with then-No. 9 NC State, then-No. 21 Washington, and then-No. 24 Notre Dame.
