New Stadium Or Bust?

This is kind of off topic, but I was interested in what everyone else thought. Well, after meeting with the NCAA, Mike Fahey pulled another different number out of the air and proposed a new stadium would cost the same amount as renovating Rosenblatt.  Fifty-nine million is the number the Mayor came up with this…

Beasley Predicted 50

I found this picture on someone’s sig on Rivals.  I laughed uncontrollably and thought I would share it with everyone else.

Balham Was Ballin’

 Chris Balham Nebraska, playing a ranked team for the second game in a row, did something they haven’t done since 1999 by beating a ranked opponent back to back.  The Huskers played one of their most complete games of the season in a 66-59 upset of 22nd ranked Texas A&M at home.  The crowd was taken out…

Will The Real NU Basketball Team Please Stand Up

Kansas State coach Ray Martin said it best.  “If you go play for Doc Sadler, you’ll understand that losing’s not acceptable. They had lost two games in a row and they came out playing like a team that wanted to win. They fought us, they punched us in the mouth and we ran away.” Nebraska…

Self-Motivated Players Learn How To Win

Omaha World Herald has an interesting story on the winter preparations now taking place on the second floor of the Osborne Athletic Complex. In addition to six hours of strength and conditioning per week, the NCAA allows for two hours of watching and reviewing film directly with the coaching staff. Players can do more on…

On A Roll Of Plenty

Nebraska has placed a whopping total of 298 student athletes on the Big 12 Commissioner’s Fall Honor Roll. Of those 298, 114 are native Nebraskans, so there is some definite homestate flavor involved.  Thirty-Nine football players were on that list, which included LaTravis Washington.  This name stuck out to me a little bit.  I remember him…

Basketball This Week, 0-2. Redshirting Your Talent, Priceless.

The story remains the same this week in Huskerland.  Two games played, one at home and one away, but both games, Nebraska either held the lead or had the momentum to drive them to victory, but in the end, came up short.  The problem is no one told that to Iowa St. or Missouri and NU’s…

Pelini Cleans The Slate. Players Start Fresh.

How many times have you been encouraged to let bygones by bygones? According to Lincoln Journal Star it’s a maxim Bo Pelini knows well. “I’ll watch a little bit of tape (from last fall),” Pelini said Wednesday. “But you can get tainted watching it. You can develop a misleading sense of these guys (players) before…

Meet Your Newest Huskers (defense)

Some guys stayed, some guys went, and some guys even came back.  It was a crazy recruiting year for Nebraska, but when it was all said and done, I think defensively, they did just fine.  Of course, the top of the defensive class goes to none other than Baker Steinkuhler, the state of Nebraska’s first 5…

Meet Your Newest Huskers (offense)

After all the de-commits in the month of December, Nebraska’s new staff hit the ground running and in a little over a month’s time, showed the promise of what recruiting will be next year.  The addition of Tim Beck really helped in Texas, as his connections helped to secure Steven and Courtney Osborne and bring…
