Your donations during this year’s game watches toward Doorstep totaled $520. Thank you for your generosity showing, as Husker fans, we not only support our university, and its sports teams, but we support great causes. With the challenges our local charitable organizations are facing, we modify one of our key phrases to state, “There are no fans like Nebraska’s”. Go Big Red. |

The 6-foot-2, 205-pound playmaker out of Powder Springs, Georgia, is ranked No. 366 nationally and the No. 55 wide receiver in the class, making him a strong addition to a wide receiver room that’s getting a much-needed talent injection.

Dylan Widger-Imagn Images While I thought there was a chance for Brice Williams to hear his name called in the second round of the NBA draft, I had a feeling that the chance was unlikely. Bryan Kalbrosky, of USA Today, is reporting that Brice Williams has signed with the Detroit Pistons. Brice Williams will begin his pro career on the Detroit Pistons, per source. The former Nebraska star was First-Team All-Big Ten, averaging 20.4 points, 4.1 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.1 steals per game. He... |

Photo by Peter G. Aiken/Getty Images In this lively episode of the Five Heart Podcast, host Minnie kicks off the show solo while Greg arrives fashionably late. With help from Husker Chuck and several other Holgor-Maniacs, the gang dives into a Mount Rushmore of the most iconic plays in Nebraska football—at least within each fan’s era of fandom. Husker Chuck recalls Corey Schlesinger’s second touchdown in the 1995 Orange Bowl, Alex Henery’s 57-yard field goal in 2008, and even a bone-jarring hit in the 1978... |
Jordan Prather-Imagn Images 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 that next step. Countdown Archive 12 Weeks: Punter Archie... |
Photo by Erica Denhoff/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Don’t forget the joke of the week… Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve seen a few movie trailers come out that I’m very interested to see. One of them is “Happy Gilmore 2”, which could be a total flop. It’s a real shame too because Adam Sandler puts together some decent movies. Another is “The Naked Gun” with Liam Neeson being Frank Drebin Jr. That movie looks to be bringing the original style of those movies... |

Andy Ketterson ATRM is back and we’re starting off with what Roger Ebert called a movie “about a violent sociopath. If that’s not a selling point… Season 2 of All the Right Movies kicks off Tuesday night at 8pm CST with Happy Gilmore! I was going to hold this in my pocket for a while, but then came the wonderful news that the Happy Gilmore sequel would be arriving this summer, so how could we not?? (Spaceballs 2 as well!) Needless to say, Happy’s tale... |
Photo by Zach Bolinger/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Also, crazy land fish. Tomorrow is the last swim meet of the season for my boys. It is amazing how much progress you can see in a one month sport. My youngest swam last year, and his times are nearly half of what they were last year. My oldest tried it out this year as well. Since he is 11 he swims a 50 instead of 25. That’s a lot for a kid that hasn’t done it... |

Photo by Williams Paul/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Nebraska’s June recruiting roll shows no signs of stopping, as the Huskers have landed 3-star running back Jamal Rule out of Charlotte Christian in North Carolina. At 6-foot, 205 pounds, Rule brings good size, burst, and a nose for the end zone. He chose Nebraska over offers from Michigan State, Syracuse, Virginia Tech, and NC State. While his name might not be familiar to everyone just yet, Rule has the production—and the upside—to change that quickly. Thank... |
