Thank you, Kansas. The Jayhawks took down Mizzou today, leaving the Tigers with a 5-3 record in conference play, same as Nebraska. That’s a share of Big 12 North title. Mizzou plays in the title game since they beat us (badly), but we’ll take the tie and catch up with them in Columbia next fall.

Band of Brothers
This post-game commentary from Ndamukong Suh really shows how completely bought in to Pelini’s culture these guys are. And since Pelini’s culture is Nebraska’s culture, this is a beautiful thing.
The Kick Heard ‘Round The Corn
Down by a point, the game was hanging by a thread in the waning moments of the 4th quarter. Bo Pelini asked kicker, Alex Henery, if he could nail a 57 yard field goal for the win. Henery said, “Yes.” The rest is history. Here’s a link to Alex Henery’s post-game interview. [UPDATE] Relive the…
Nebraska 40 – Colorado 31
With 1:50 left on the clock, Memorial stadium was standing in shock at facing 4th and 25 at the Colorado 40 and trailing 30-31. Time wasn’t on the Husker’s side. Punt or go for the 25 yards needed for the first down. I don’t think the thought of a field goal attempt went through anyone’s…
Bowling With Bo
Husker Extra is running a bunch of bowl scenarios by us, all of which sound pretty enticing. El Paso or bust? The smart money says yes, but two other bowl possibilities seem to remain for the Huskers — the Gator Bowl and the Alamo Bowl. Of the three bowls, the Gator has first choice, followed…
Huskers 56 – Wildcats 28
The Blackshirts were on the prowl today in Manhattan, Kansas, while the offensive unit continued to roll. NU tallied 610 yards to Kansas State’s 247. According to Lincoln Star Journal, representatives from the 2008 Brut Sun Bowl were on hand in the press box.
The Boss Played Safety
The long awaited issuance of Blackshirts was big news in Huskerland this week. But not everyone is celebrating their good fortune. Matt O’Hanlon, for instance. According to NE State Paper, O’Hanlon, despite starting nine games and being fourth on the team in tackles, is still practicing in his red No. 33. He’s locked in a…
Huskers Set The Bar High
The Kansas City Star is running a glowing article on Bo Pelini and how much we all love him. There’s not much new in it, but I do appreciate the way the story ends. “I’m trying to focus on what needs to happen day by day to get our program where it needs to be,…
Blackshirts, Back
On the same day as news of Cody Glenn’s suspension spread throughout Big Red Country, it was the second story of the day that brought some cheer. Blackshirts were quietly hung in lockers during team meetings according to an ESPN report. Huskers receiving the famed blackshirts were: Zach Potter Pierre Allen Clayton Sievers Ndamukong Suh…
Cody Glenn Suspended Indefinitely
Breaking news out of Lincoln this afternoon. The Omaha World Herald is reporting that Cody Glenn has been suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules. A press release has been issued stating Cody Glenn has been suspended and no further comment of the matter would be available. This is certainly a blow to the…
