HUSKERS Football Spring Game Recap: Gimme All the Kool-Aid & Other Thoughts

Probably a sight we better get used to this fall. | Scott Bruhn There many stories but none bigger than fans’ first looks at Dylan Railoa. Yes, it was just the spring game, but he delivered. Little time was wasted in showing off the arm of Dylan Railoa as he grooved a short pass to Thomas Fidone who rumbled with it for a 15 yard gain. After rushes by Emmett Johnson and Raiola brought the ball to mid-field, Texas transfer Isaiah Neyor took off deep...

With Cornhuskers Up 8-1 Game 2 Vs. Hawkeyes Will Continue Sunday . . . Hopefully!

Mason McConnaughey returns to form vs. Hawkeyes Nebraska dominates Hawkeyes before weather delay causes postponement With Nebraska in command, the local baseball team ran into a force they could not defeat today at Haymarket Park . . . Mother Nature. With one out and one Hawkeye on base in the top of the sixth inning, the guy in the red jacket carrying a lightening detector came walking down the third baseline to inform the umpire crew that the game would have to be paused. Unfortunately,...

Stone Blast Leads to Husker Win Over Iowa, 7-4

Jalen Worthley caps off a big Nebraska win over Iowa | Nebraska Athletic Department Cornhuskers come from behind to notch big win versus rival Hawkeyes After devastating tornados wreaked havoc through the Lincoln and Omaha area, the long-anticipated series between Nebraska and Iowa got rolling about 45-minutes late at Haymarket Park. Mr. Friday Night, Brett Sears put his 7-0 record on the line against the pre-season conference favorite Hawkeyes and their righthanded starter Marcus Morgan. The Hawkeyes got off to a slow start this season,...

HUSKERS SOFTBALL Recap: Northwestern 6 NEBRASKA 5

Dillon Galloway Nebraska lost a crusher in the first Northwestern game of the series and the laughably oft-abused “runner left early” appeal played a ridiculous part again. One of the most controversial appeals in college softball the last couple of years is being able to review whether or not a runner left the base early as they are not allowed to do so until the ball leaves the pitcher’s hand. Now fair is fair and it is something which should absolutely be monitored, but what...

HUSKERS SOFTBALL Weekly: The Last Homestand Is the Last Chance

Dillon Galloway After being swept by Michigan, NCAA hopes ride a strong performance against 1st place Northwestern. Well, let’s start by saying the following after my Ann Arbor weekend – Michigan really does have a top-notch athletic campus and the people I met were all polite and helpful. Their softball stadium is the first true home field advantage I’ve encountered – they get into it. And just for good measure? Their Saturday game outdrew the men’s baseball game – and the Michigan men were playing...

What You Need to Know To Attend Nebraska’s 2024 Spring Game

Photo by Eric Francis/Getty Images This is honestly mostly a cut and paste from the athletic department. I am including it here so as much information as possible it available to you, beloved Husker fans. I didn’t realize tickets went up to $15. Aren’t they normally $10? Maybe they’re preparing for having to pay student athletes salaries. The parking information below is convoluted enough. Maybe you should have a plan before you head out. Maybe it’s just convoluted because I don’t get back to Lincoln...

Friday Flakes: Deion Sanders Isn’t Really Recruiting Colorado Kids so Nebraska Is Taking Advantage with Latest Commit

Photo by Sam Hodde/UFL/Getty Images Add Tanner Terch to another list of the type of kids Matt Rhule and his coaching staff are going for in that they are underrecruited and that they fit a certain mold. That mold generally revolves around speed and explosiveness. The coaching staff feel that they cannot teach speed but they can develop kids with speed into good football players. In this case, Tanner Terch is a 3-star wide receiver/defensive back from Littleton, CO. The interesting fact is that neither...

What are we looking for from the game? Will the running backs pass protect? How will the wide receivers look in press coverage?
