Stryker: Shorten NCAA regular season to 11 games, expand playoff to 8 teams

1/1/19 | Tad Stryker
Is four enough? Would eight be enough? Would even 16 be enough? More than any other, major college football is a sport of endless disputes. For its millions of fans, this is an issue that will never disappear. Not if the College Football Playoff field remains at four until its current contract expires at the end of the 2025 season.…

Husker Dan: Best of 2018 Husker season

12/12/18 | Husker Dan
It's hard to believe another year of college football is about to end.  Only the bowl season awaits.  But for the second straight season, Husker fans will have no bowl game to look forward to.  And unfortunately, the Huskers' theme song will once again be "I'll Be Home for Christmas." But even in a 4-8 season, there is still a…

Stryker: How much better will Duval alone make 2019 Huskers?

12/5/18 | Tad Stryker
In Scott Frost’s first season, Nebraska barely missed breaking even with a team significantly lacking in size and strength. It’s just a benchmark — playing .500 football is not something for a Cornhusker team to get excited about — and it shows just how far behind the Nebraska strength and conditioning program fell during three years under Mike Riley.

Big Red Cobcast Preview #237: Offseason Hate Week

11/26/18 | Patrick Janssen
A lot of things about Friday sucked. There were plenty of positives, but the unfortunate truth is that losing to Iowa trumped all of that in the moment. It was a punch to the stomach, the nose and the testicles all at once. But there was something even worse than that: the clear-eyed realization that this thing is truly headed…

Husker Dan: Huskers’ stock is on the rise

11/26/18 | Husker Dan
It's almost December and the cold reality (and the weather, too) is that the Huskers have played their last game of the season. And for the second straight year, there will be no bowl game for Nebraska. Even more painful is that there will be no extra practice time for this year's young Husker program that is on the rise.…

Despite one of my more favorite Husker victories in recent memory, Nebraska was officially eliminated from bowl contention late Saturday night.

With today’s 9-6 victory, Nebraska now leads the all-time series with Michigan State 9-2, including 6-1 in Lincoln.

2018 Nebraska Alternative Uniforms Reviewed

10/22/18 | Patrick Janssen
It's time for a new streak. One of a different stripe. 10-game losing streaks are fun and all (I'm lying), but six-game winning streaks to go to a bowl game? That's where the party's at. Maybe I'm putting the cart ahead of the horse. You'll have to forgive me. It's been a while. I'm bathing in the glory of a…
