Here’s some of what our local sportswriters had to say following Saturday’s loss to VA Tech… “For the third time in four games, the Huskers’ running game resembled the Exxon Valdez.” – Sam McKewon for Nebraska State Paper “We found out that Nebraska is not a physical enough team yet – at least not on…

Ridin’ Prairie Schooners to the Game
I knew from living in Portland before how many Midwesterners have followed the modern day Oregon Trail to a new home in Pacifica. But yesterday afternoon, proof of this migration story was found in a deep sea of Husker red at the Refectory on NE 122nd in Portland—site of the weekly Oregonians for Nebraska watch…
Nebraska 30 – Virginia Tech 35
Not to take anything away from Virginia Tech, but the Huskers were lacking tonight in the mental game. Too many missed assignments, too many instances of bad judgment and too many mistakes. Joe Ganz looked too hesitant at times tonight, be it the pressure of the VT defense or a lack of confidence in what…
The Good Life
I like to see visiting journalists wowed by the atmosphere in Lincoln. It reminds me just how good Nebraska fans and people living in Nebraska have it. I’ve had the real privilege of spending a couple days here to get a genuine feel for Nebraska football. Spoke to coaches and players this week. Spoke to…

Bo’s POV Is Black And White

Here We Go
The Omaha World Herald’s Tom Shatel is looking for big things from the Huskers over the next few weeks (and he’s far from the only one). We’re living in one of the most interesting times in Husker history. I’m fascinated with college football history. For me (though likely not for you), this is every bit…

New Mexico State: Just What The Huskers (And Fans) Needed
I found out Thursday I would be going to the New Mexico State game. I was excited to see what this team was going to look like, live and in person. I went to two games last year, Iowa State and Texas A&M. After the Iowa State game I wrote in what my thoughts of…
