Nebraska Football Recruiting 2012: We're Getting Closer...
Uneasy. I think that's the word that best describes the faction of Husker Nation that closely follows it's university's legal pursuit of high school boys. It's not too hard to figure out why either - combine a small class (somewhere in the neighborhood of 16-19) with the fact that we have only one...
The Best and Worst Of The 2011 Husker Football Season
It was the best of times, It was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness.... You know how it goes, Charles Dickens' opening line in a Tale of Two Cities. It fits the 2011 Husker football season pretty well. The best of times - Nebraska joined a whole new...
The Huskers' Big Loss in the Big House to Michigan
Take your choice between Nebraska's offensive line and special teams play; which was worse? Frankly, I can't as both were horrible against the Michigan Wolverines. Michigan's defensive line had their way at the line of scrimmage, especially defensive tackle Mike Martin, who pretty much ate...

2012 Nebraska Commit #3: Cotton Eyed Sam
In a development that should shock absolutely no one, Lincoln Southeast tight end Sam Cotton verbally committed to the Huskers after Barney menaced him with fireplace toolson Monday. The Huskers won out in months-long bitter recruiting war with Tulsa and The OTHER Ohio University for the 6'4" 240...
2011 Nebraska Football Spring Preview: Offensive Line
The Husker offense looked exceptional early 2010, but bogged down as the season went on. Most of the blame was placed on Taylor Martinez and the injury he suffered in the Missouri game, allowing the offensive line to face the same level of scrutiny. Yet the 2010 team suffered from the same problem...
Potential Nebraska Staff Changes Steal Spotlight From Bo Pelini's Best Recruiting Class
What does Kevin Wilson have against Bo Pelini? That's what you should be asking yourself right now. This afternoon, Pelini was all set to announce the best recruiting class that Nebraska has seen in quite a while when Nebraska media persons caught wind that Indiana Head Coach Kevin Wilson...
Nebraska Football - Offensive Staff Changes? (Or No?)
It's two days before National Signing Day. Shawn Watson is still Nebraska's offensive coordinator. Barney Cotton is still the offensive line coach. I imagine that many of you are of the mind that Bo Pelini will wait until after the recruits are all in to make any changes to his offensive staff. I...
