Huskerzone.com reader Keith Balmer spit out a couple thousand words on the subject of college football expansion on his blog. While I disagree on a couple of points, we find common ground on our dislike of Notre Dame, and acceptance of the power college football has – second behind the NFL. College football is second…

Is Nebraska Ready?
I believe, fairly soon, NU will have to do something it hasn’t ever had to do. What exactly am I referring to? Paying up, that’s what. Nebraska, even though we are in the top 5 of our conference, has never really had to pay big time dollars to retain any of our coaches. Doc Sadler was…
Press Passes Please
Darren Carlson wants in. The Big Red Network blogger feels he’s earned the right to ask coaches, players and administrators at University of Nebraska questions. While my colleague Steve may not want credentials and access, I most certainly do. But, when we request press credentials from the University of Nebraska, we are given a form…
Jerry Jones Is Tom Osborne?
Tom Osborne is many things, but Jerry Jones? The eccentric owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jones, is filling his defense with players who have a troubled past. Jason Whitlock of Fox Sports and the Kansas City Star compares Jones to Osborne, who had a way of rehabbing a once lost soul. Right now, Jones is the Tom Osborne of professional…
Kent Pavelka—A Voice For Every Husker Fan
Recently I was given the opportunity to talk with Kent Pavelka, former play by play announcer of Husker football and current PBP announcer of men’s basketball. We started off talking about basketball, but I couldn’t resist asking a few questions about the announcer himself. In my opinion, KP is, was, and always will be the…
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…
Egg on Herbstreit’s Face?
ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit reported on espn.com today that LSU head coach Les Miles would accept the open job at Michigan. This promted Miles to call a press conference in Atlanta just two hours before his Tigers played Tennessee for the SEC Championship (a game they just won). “There’s misinformation on ESPN and I think it’s…
USC Honors Mario Danelo
USC honored the loss of Kicker Mario Danelo in the off season by running their first extra point attempt against Idaho with a missing man formation.
A Steve Pederson Fan???
Jeff Writes: This is in total disregard to this topic. I may be converting to the Pederson Camp!? Granted, he turned Husker “football” upside down, possibly for the better (he has 1 year to prove that in my book). But….NU has won 3 national chamipionships since his watch started, 2 with bowling, 1 in volleyball….
Husker Basketball Posts Nine Straight Wins
In typical Doc Sadler-led Husker Basketball, Nebraska is tearing up the non-conference schedule. Last night’s 77-46 win over North Dakota was the team’s ninth straight win in a streak that has seen upsets over USC and in-state rival, Creighton. The meat of the schedule gets started next week in their final Big 12 campaign where…
