The folks who know me, know that I am a native Iowan, born in Cedar Falls a few decades ago. My parents are both natives, as were their parents before them. Although I spent my formative years growing up in Western Nebraska, the black and gold of the Iowa Hawkeyes was a mainstay in my…

WARNING…..Full Contact In Lincoln
In just his third practice this spring, Bo Pelini already is sending a clear message to his players. Physical contact is required. Saturday the Huskers worked out in FULL PADS in MEMORIAL STADIUM. According to the Lincoln Journal Star, Bo Pelini liked the effort he was seeing. I thought the tempo was good. It was…
Catchy Receivers, Not Slogans
Thanks to questioning from Lincoln Journal Star’s sports staff, we now know Shawn Watson doesn’t need a catchy name for his offensive unit or scheme. Nebraska used to run the option. Then came the West Coast offense. What exactly are we supposed to call it under first-year coordinator Shawn Watson? “The Nebraska offense,” Watson quickly…
Football!

2007-08 Season Wraps Up
I would first like to thank Doc Sadler and the Nebraska men’s basketball team for an outstanding year. Next season started Tuesday, and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for this team! Thank-you Aleks Maric for a wonderful career and good luck at the next level. Doc, you have brought a team to…
Huskers End Season in Loss to Mississippi
Nebraska held close tonight, fighting back and keeping the game in check. But the gas ran out in overtime as Mississippi outscored the Huskers 15-5 to win 85-75 and end Nebraska’s run in the NIT. I’m sure Husker Brad will be along soon with his analysis, but as a self-admitted non-fan of hoops, I will…
NU Pans 49ers Into Fool’s Gold
AIR ADE Nebraska OVERWHELMINGLY dominated Charlotte in the first round match of the NIT on Wednesday, 67-48. The Huskers played the most complete game of the season against the 49ers and led by as many as 26 points with just over 5 minutes left. A hefty dose of Ade Dagunduro, who obviously found his post season…
The Return Of MJ……or RS
Roburt Sallie, according to Rivals, was just named the California JUCO Player of the year. Not bad for someone who took two years off from the game. I have found 2 clips of Roburt doing some sweet dunks for San Francisco City College. Here or here, either way, you won’t be disappointed!! I can’t wait…

NU Goes 1-1 in Big 12 Tourney…NIT Awaits
I would first like to welcome the administrator to the land of basketball. This makes 3 games now that I know you watched. KU in person, Mizzou, and KU again. On Thursday, NU played it’s game almost flawlessly en route to a 61-56 win over Missouri. NU’s game plan was to slow down the game, pick…
