Which College Football Playoff format suits Nebraska the best
| Photo by Don Juan Moore/Getty Images The College Football Playoff expansion was talked about for years, but the cogs of the great wheels of bureaucracy moved slowly. That malaise has been replaced with a feverish rush to see who gets the most significant slice of the pie. Two conferences, the Big Ten and SEC hold the cards regarding media ratings and want to press home that advantage to favor their respective conferences. The power play that is taking place mainly in the open is a... |

While the baseball off-season does not generate near the attention that football does, to hard-core Nebraska baseball fans... |

Twelve Weeks Until Cincinnati: Nebraska Football’s 12th Most Indispensable Player – Punter Archie Wilson
| Dylan Widger-Imagn Images We are exactly twelve weeks away from football! Welcome to this twelve week countdown where we count the weeks until Nebraska takes on the Cincinnati Bearcats at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday, August 28th. This will be my list of Nebraska football’s 12 most indispensable players. They may not be the best. They may not even end up playing this season (which would likely be bad for Nebraska). These are the players that need to step up this season for Nebraska to take... |
Nebraska Baseball: Corn Nation Looks Back and Forward — Part I
| Was Dylan Carey the top Nebraska player this season? | Nebraska Athletics Aaron and Todd take a look back at the 2025 season One of the things the two of us definitely agree on is that this team did not meet the expectations we had for it, but that’s the case with anyone who pays attention to Nebraska baseball. So, we don’t need to ask that question. There are probably a number of questions each of us has about the season that cannot be answered... |
Thursday Flakes: NBA Finals, An Elephant and Twins?!
| Alonzo Adams-Imagn Images Don’t forget the joke of the week… Last week, my wife and I got the shock of our lives. We knew we were expecting a baby, but when the ultrasound begin, we were surprised to find out “baby” was incorrect. As the wand touched my wife’s stomach, there were not one, but two embryos chilling side by side. Twins do not run in my family whatsoever to my knowledge, so I’m sort of proud of myself for the efficiency, but slightly spooked... |

Corn Flakes: Suh on College Football HOF Ballot
| Photo by Jim Cowsert/Icon SMI/Icon Sport Media via Getty Images Plus, who’s the best Big Ten quarterback? When I first read that Ndamukong Suh was on the College Football Hall of Fame ballot, I thought damn I’m old and then I thought I hope he doesn’t get screwed out of this like he did the Heisman. I remember being in Ireland in the fall of 2008 and missing home. I would regularly read about Husker football and that’s when Suh first caught my attention. Then... |
Monday Night Therapy: Breaking Down Husker Baseball’s NCAA Regional Exit
| Photo by Norm Hall/MLB Photos via Getty Images On this episode of Monday Night Therapy, host Minnie Hunt is joined by Jarek Shearer from Corn Nation to discuss Nebraska baseball’s postseason journey—a rollercoaster that, while ending in a 17-1 loss to Oklahoma, still hints at a brighter future.

Aussie Archie Wilson Is HUSKERS FOOTBALL’s Newest Punter!
| The incoming freshman from Frankston South, Australia has been trained as a rugby-style punter – and this style worked for Mike Ekeler at Tennessee. Wallabies, “G’day”, crocodiles, Highland cattle, kangaroos, shrimps on the barbie, koala bears, “crikey”, Vegemite toast, brekky, great white sharks, the Great Barrier Reef… With the signing of Archie Wilson, jokes about any and all tings Aussie will be floating about, but we’re not about that here. And we’re definitely not about that ever since there was nearly bloodshed on the set... |
