Huskers in the 2008 NFL Draft
New Era Scouting has released a NFL draft guide that includes their own mock draft. Given all the talent that Bill Callahan was supposed to have brought in, there isn't a whole lot going on for the Huskers. I have the feeling that Husker defensive players are going to pay a steep price for what was...
Corn Flakes - Is Bo Pelini "Hovering"?
Can Alex Gordon and Joba Chamberlain save baseball? It's probably a stretch since baseball seems to be doing fine, but as hometown heroes they can give hope to some fans. The Green Bay Packers are paying a lot of attention to Maurice Purify: When asked about which teams he interviewed with at the...
Nebraska NFL Pro Day - Winners, Whiners And Losers
Brian Christopherson from Husker Extra gives us a low down on Nebraska's NFL Pro Day, which was attended by a number of pro scouts.

2007 - Good Bye And Good Riddance To A Sucky Year
2007, I take great pleasure in burying thee, you year of great suckage. If ever there is a time machine invented, you're one of the last dead years I'm coming back to see. It wasn't a great personal year for me. The year started with my older brother Jim suffering a massive heart attack at the...

Big 12 Roundtable - The End Is Near
This week's Big 12 roundtable is being hosted by Texas blog Gabriel's Horn. Pretty appropriate title - The End Is Near. You suppose we'll see at least one guy dressed as an apocalyptic monk outside Memorial with a sandwich-board sign this weekend?1. With only two or three games left, how are you...
Morning Coffee Blahs - Desroy Texas!
The Cornhusker football team will go into Texas as a 21-point dog. When was the last time we gave up 21 points to anyone? I vividly the 17-point spread against Florida State in the '94 Orange Bowl, but I don't recall being down by more than that. Ever. Perhaps by now we shouldn't be shocked and...
