A lot has changed since the Nebraska Cornhuskers played their last college baseball game. On March 11, 2020, the Huskers beat Northern Colorado 8-1, their third straight win. However, it would be the final game the Huskers played in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic cancelled the remainder of the season, the Big Ten tournament, and the College World Series. Even though…
On Thursday, Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports posted a column entitled "Nebraska's messy marriage with Big Ten getting uglier every day". While the impetus for the column was the news of Nebraska's proposal to play Tennessee-Chattanooga this weekend (filling a hole created when Wisconsin cancelled) being rejected, it quickly turned into a rehash of the same over-inflated talking points…
With the 2020 season kicking off tomorrow, there are many lingering questions that will shape the course of the season. Here are five that I am very curious about: 1. How long is Martinez's leash? For the purposes of this question, we are going to assume that the QB competition in camp was as competitive as advertised and Luke…
This week has seen a month's worth of drama after the Big Ten announced they are postponing the fall sports season until the spring. Here is a quick - and by no means complete - timeline of events: Wednesday, August 5: The Big Ten releases the 2020 conference football schedule, along with a five page "executive summary" of COVID-19…
Nebraska sophomore running back Maurice Washington is facing charges in California - one of which is a felony - for possessing and sharing a video of a minor engaged in a sexual act. Maurice Washington is presumed innocent until he is proven guilty. His case is still ongoing, and has been subject to multiple delays and continuations - the latest…
Nebraska and Adidas released the alternate uniform the Huskers will wear at some point in the 2019 season. I can't help but feel like I've seen it before - and no, I'm not talking about the photo* that leaked out from the hype video shoot a few weeks ago. *How mad do you think the Adidas folks were about this…
On Saturday, Nebraska will wear special "Memorial Tribute"* uniforms, which draw strong design influence from the uniforms the 1923 Huskers wore. Why 1923? That was the first season NU played at Memorial Stadium. *Let's take a second to address Adidas's ridiculous name for this uniform. At best, "memorial tribute" sounds similarly synonymous and slightly redundant. At worst, it describes an…
Let's talk for a minute about "moral victories". Scott Frost doesn't want to acknowledge moral victories, and I don't blame him. Most competitors would rather punch their mother than celebrate a moral victory. You either win or you lose...and unfortunately this Nebraska team will end the season with more losses than wins. Nobody wants to be a part of team that…
Change is coming to Nebraska's beloved Tunnel Walk. It appears that "Sirius" by the Alan Parsons Project (by way of the Chicago Bulls) is on its way out and something new will be pumped over the speakers Saturday night. But what is that new song? Athletic Director Bill Moos wouldn't say, only hinting that it goes with NU's theme of "Honor…
It's time once again for the Big Ten Power Rankings, where we rank the fourteen Big Ten teams using a proprietary formula of expert analysis, biased opinions, and blind guesses. For another look at how I predicted the division races, click here. Penn State. They won the game of the week, and looked good doing it. Saquon Barkley showed…
How do you sum up one of the most shocking losses in school history? How do you accurately account for all of the things that went wrong? How does a loss like this impact the big picture - for Mike Riley, Shawn Eichorst, and the program as a whole? Frankly, I don't know. I'm still processing it. So I'm going…
