How Much Did Zac Lee's Injury Affect His Play in 2009?
by Jon Johnston on Feb 9, 2010 8:00 AM CST
in Football
3 comments
After the Holiday Bowl it came out that Zac Lee had suffered an injury early in the season on his throwing arm, and that the injury was serious enough that it required surgery in January. I asked Paragon over at the USC site Conquest Chronicles, SB Nation's resident expert in injuries, to give us some details about Lee's injury, his surgery, and what how it might have affected his play. What I got was way more detail than I can possibly understand, something I should have known when asking a doctor to do a write-up. Epidemiology to you, too, buddy.
It's now come out that Lee will most likely miss spring practice, which is understandable given that the rehabilitation period is 10 to 12 weeks. Lee won't be able to throw the ball during that period, so he will lose some conditioning time over the winter and into the spring.

The Sadness of Warren Sapp
by Mr. Corn on Feb 7, 2010 10:44 AM CST
in Football
10 comments
Miami. Ughh...
Warren Sapp was arrested yesterday, hours before the biggest game of the NFL season. The now retired NFL lineman, NFL Network analyst, and former University of Miami Hurricane, was charged with allegedly choking and assaulting a woman in south Florida. The misdemeanor domestic abuse charge caused the NFL Network to pull Sapp from the air, and cancel his commentary duties for the Super Bowl. The utter cowardice and sadness that is domestic abuse aside, I'm struck by how predictable this case was. Furthermore, my respect for the major media conglomerates continues to take a dive as they hire, promote, and throw money at these undeserving "experts".
Let's take the current pathetic example:
Here we have a man who, from the jump, has branded himself as a brash and loudmouthed hooligan. I attended the Husker Football 202 camp in Lincoln last summer, at which Husker legend Tommie Frazier told the now famous joke about an encounter with Sapp. You all know the story: (more after jump)

Husker Hardwood: Kansas
by Mr. Corn on Feb 6, 2010 9:26 AM CST
in Basketball
31 comments
Can we blow a whistle? Is there a white flag out there somewhere that we can waive? Can anyone stop the bludgeoning of this basketball team? Nebraska needs a pause, something to happen that gives us a small break. Kansas State brought their own "hurt locker" to Lincoln on Tuesday night, and after showing a glimpse of hope against the Sooners...things are looking ugly from here on out.
This is the point in the season where visiting a blog like this starts to get comical. No, not to imply that it's a joke to follow Husker basketball....the true fans will continue to stay abreast of what happening to the mens team. But comical as in, there isn't much of a point in writing some serious stat-driven analysis of the upcoming games. All that's left is humor. I mean, let's be honest now, it can't get much worse for this mens team. And the funny part? (Funny in a sadistic way) The road only gets tougher from here. Time for sarcasm and witty analogies.
I'd be surprised if there was anything left that resembles a basketball team by the time March 1st rolls around. Trips to Kansas, Texas, and Kansas State..along with a home game versus Baylor should drive this team to a 1-10 conference record by Feb. 20th. I'm now predicting a 3 win conference schedule, with our only real chances coming at home versus Texas Tech, and in Ames versus the "Cy-Clowns" (Sorry, but with Hawkeye fans abound in my circle...I can't help but borrow the moniker.)
I'm a big fan of analogy and comparison. I had a grandfather who spoke almost entirely in analogy. You couldn't just ask a question and get a response. Everything in life would be compared to a football game, cleaning your house, or some other random event. It always amused me to see how something like "searching for a new career" - is just like "finding a good fishing hole." In keeping with that inherited talent, while also trying to add entertainment value to this section, I will be posting in such a manner until the Husker men start providing some of entertainment on their own. (More after the jump..)

Nebraska's Theme For 2010 - No "Second" Chances
by Jon Johnston on Feb 5, 2010 1:39 PM CST
in CN News
5 comments
I had planned a little better setup for this, but between a huge project starting on Monday at one customer (and me having to have the infrastructure built for it) and another customer with a severe server crash and recovery, I ain't gotten to perfection yet. That's how it goes sometimes.
Corn Nation is proud to introduce our own line of apparel. SB Nation has partnered with Webstores Corp to provide us the ability to get you fine (and maybe obnoxious) Nebraska-related items such as t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, hats, yada yada.
CN community member Section 37 came up with a phrase I like that sounds like a good theme for the 2010 season:
"No 00:01 Chances"
so we've gone ahead and created some designs based around that theme.
The coolest thing about having your own line of apparel (and somebody that knows what they're doing behind you) is that designs are virtually limitless. We can come up with our own phrases, or better yet, just like Section 37, our community can come up with designs. Our existing t-shirts will still be for sale until they're gone.
Maybe we can come up with a theme for the spring game. Come to think of it, maybe we should have CN members gather at some place, some place that serves beer, and talk about what's going to happen next season even though we know 90% of all conversations will revolve around the quarterback position. Maybe there's a t-shirt design in that!
As an aside, Ralphie Report has taken the apparel opportunity to hold a t-shirt design contest. Husker fans will get a kick out of some of the proposed designs.

Corn Flakes: Part of the Evil Blogging Empire

Well that ends another signing day. While disappointed that Owa didn't chose NU, I think that getting Cooper is a better deal. The D-Line looks pretty good for a while, and NU needed a safety.
The cats head up our evil organization.
Anyway on to the links-
Maybe a raw ratio of 1-in-15 -- or even 1-in-12, or 1-in-10, or whatever it is after accounting for the early departures, injuries and academics that these numbers make no attempt to reflect -- isn't all that impressive by itself. After all, that means far more elite recruits are falling short of their star-studded birthright than are reaching it. Across the board, failure is the norm.
I like statistics. People are always blaming them for lying or making up things. They don't, stats tell you exactly was you ask of them. It's not their fault that you can't interpret them correctly. Anyway this is a good break down of recruiting rankings, and why they do in fact matter. No they are not the end all, but they do matter.
Pelini not surprised by what transpired Wednesday
He knew already that quarterback Brion Carnes, who most outside the program thought was headed to Western Kentucky, would sign with Nebraska the next day. "I knew yesterday that he was coming," Pelini said about the assumption Carnes was off the table for Nebraska. "I don’t know. That’s probably some blogger, or whatever you guys call those people that really aren’t informed but believe they are. You should have called me. I would have told you different."
Why do the blogger always get blamed? I'm pretty sure I read all those rumors on reputable news organization's sites. If you want to blame someone, blame the pay sites for exploiting the recruits.
Huskers fall at home to Kansas State
The No. 10 Wildcats had an emphatic response to Nebraska’s quick run to start the second half and ran away with a 76-57 victory. "They came in, and I don’t know an area that they weren’t the best basketball team, plus, by far, the best-coached basketball team tonight," Nebraska coach Doc Sadler said. "They were much better coached than we were."
Just not a good year...
NU women blow out No. 10 Oklahoma State
"I didn’t see that coming." OK, so all 10,227 fans who left the Devaney Sports Center on Wednesday night following the fourth-ranked Huskers’ 88-67 thrashing of No. 10 Oklahoma State had the same thought.
So how good is the woman's team? Wow what a statement.
Sports Biz Blog — Nike Inks Ex-Nebraska Defensive Lineman Ndamukong Suh - CNBC
Intent on locking up one of the odds-on favorites to be an NFL superstar, Nike has signed former Nebraska defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh to a contract. Suh is expected to be used in furthering Nike's lead in the training category. Over the last couple of years, the company has invested heavily in associating training with football players at the grassroots level by utilizing standardized SPARQ ratings. Suh, the 2009 AP National Player of the Year and the likely No. 1 overall draft pick in the upcoming NFL draft, beat the odds to become a Heisman finalist. Suh, who is represented in marketing deals by The Agency in New York, joins other Nike football athletes including Adrian Peterson, Troy Polamalu and Brian Urlacher.
I don't know why, but I guess I'm still sometimes shocked how big Suh has gotten.
Hey Jenny Slater.: The 50 Most Loathsome People in College Football: 50-41.
Proof that it is the offseason is the arrival of lists and you'd be remiss, miss, if you missed Doug Gillett's list of the 50 Most Loathsome People in College Football. So far, no one from Nebraska. In some ways, I think that's a bad thing. - JJ

Corn Nation Off Season Recipes - Baked Beans
by sd.husker on Feb 4, 2010 12:03 AM CST
0 comments
Well, it’s the end of the football season! One more game. The "Big One". I’m planning on having 15 or 20 people over for the game, and trying to get the menu ready. One thing for sure, it’s all going to be cooked in the smoker. Some of the things that are being smoked are Tri Tips, Salmon, Baby back ribs, Boudin, Wings, of course, and Pork butt. My mind is going crazy just thinking about the explosion of flavor awaiting!
It’s easy to figure out what main course to cook for the game, but what about the side dishes? One of my favorites is baked beans. This recipe isn’t just a "dump a can of pork and beans in a pan and heat it up" recipe. This is so much better! Of course keep in mind this is a recipe that my family and friends just love. It may not be your favorite but try it and see how others like it.
To begin, I start out with 2- 22oz. cans of Bush’s Grillin’ beans, Steak House Recipe. There’s a lot of different flavors and they all taste great. Then I use 2-15oz. cans of Ranch Style beans with Jalapenos. Mix these together in a crock pot and add 1lb. cooked Jimmy Deans hot pork sausage. The last ingredient is the brown sugar. I usually use about 2 cups but add to what you think taste good. Simmer for about an hour and they’re ready to serve. That’s the great thing about these recipes. You can change it and make it yours. We all have different tastes. My family likes spicy foods, yours may not. You can substitute the Ranch Style beans with Jalapenos with the beans without Jalapenos or the hot sausage with mild. If you like a little kick in your food, stick with the original recipe. Even my 8yr old loves these beans. This recipe will feed about 6 people so you can adjust accordingly.
I just wanted to throw something different out there for your Super Bowl party. Try it out and let us know how it turns out. GBR!!!

Zac Lee Out for Spring Practice?
The biggest news of the day is that QB Zac Lee will miss the start of spring practice...maybe all of it. Good opportunity perhaps for Kody Spano and Cody Green, but bad news for a Husker offense in dire need of something to build on.
Also, Rickey Thenarse has been granted a sixth year of eligibility after tearing his ACL last fall.

Husker Women's Basketball to Face Oklahoma State In Nebraska's First Top Ten Matchup
by Jon Johnston on Feb 3, 2010 6:37 PM CST
in Basketball
30 comments
Tonight, the fourth-ranked Husker women's basketball team will face the tenth-ranked Oklahoma State Cowgirls in the first-ever meeting between two top ten-ranked basketball teams. That includes men, women, and not just the University of Nebraska, but NCAA tourney match-ups and Creighton as well.
Nebraska comes in unbeaten at 19-0, while Oklahoma State is at 18-3. The game is pivotal in the Big 12 race as the Huskers have a 6-0 conference record with the Cowgirls just a half-game behind at 6-1. The winner of tonight's game will take the lead in the conference, potentially important for NCAA seedings in a few weeks.
Consider this an open thread for the game. Television and radio availability after the jump.
