On the whole, Matt Davison would have rather been sitting courtside with Kent Pavelka at Pinnacle Bank Arena to watch the Husker basketball team open its season. Instead, the Husker Sports Network’s color commentator, who knows what a cohesive, well-led team looks and feels like, had to witness a Nebraska football team which has become convinced it belongs in the…

The sad part of last night's 31-24 OT loss to Northwestern was that this was a game Nebraska could have and should have won. The play selection late in regulation was absurd. And in the OT? More of the same. In short, Nebraska deserved to lose the game. It's that simple. It's a shame, because the players were trying…

Mike Riley’s last stand in Lincoln ended just the way you might have predicted it would. When one last push would have clinched a victory, when the Cornhuskers could have given themselves and their embattled head coach some late-season momentum, they could not deliver the blow. At crunch time, with shadows lengthening and the game — and Riley’s last realistic…

This week’s Pregame Perspective reveals a Nebraska fan base that clearly was looking for something better than a .500 football season. Three-quarters of those surveyed said they are not satisfied with NU’s 4-4 start.

Are Husker fans that different from other college football fan bases? Sure they are "nice," but they are also vicious to their own when it comes expectations of the program and living up to those lofty goals. Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka discuss this passion that at times borders on the lunatic fringe. Also, commentary on the win at…

There were two good things to come out of Nebraska's game Saturday night at Purdue: 1.) It was a win and 2.) It wasn't a loss. Well duh, Husker Dan. It's true, that for the better part of the game, the Boilermakers and Cornhuskers looked liked two bear cubs trying to romance a football. Forty yards rushing by Nebraska? Husker…

Can you beat a sub-.500 Big Ten team on the road without a rushing attack? It turns out you can — at least this time, anyway. In a game that typified the Mike Riley era as much as any, Nebraska got pushed around much of the night by the Purdue Boilermakers, but hung around thanks to four field goals by…

Tell me it ain't so. Tell me I'm having a really, really bad dream. What am I talking about? The odds makers have established Nebraska as a (are you ready for this?) 6 point dog going into this Saturday's game with Purdue. That's not Minnesota, Iowa or Northwestern, but PURDUE!!!! That's right-the same 3-4 Purdue team that last week lost…
