Back when I was a kid in the 1980s, living in Midwest City, OK(north of Norman and suberb of Oklahoma City), this was the game everyone talked about in the neighborhood I lived in. I think Huskers fans would agree that they probably did the same thing in Nebraska back in the 70s and 80s. I know this from talking to people who lived in Oklahoma, before or since then, that people used to dream and live for college football and the rivalry game between Oklahoma and Nebraska. Yes, Texas has...Read Full Story

so the song goes.  It is certainly true from the point of view of this lifelong Husker fan.  I was born here in Lincoln, attended the University of Nebraska and graduated in 1998.  My father had all daughters, so I became the surrogate boy and watched sports with him a lot growing up.  So I ended up becoming a huge sports fan in general, but especially a very loyal Nebraska Cornhusker Fan.  Football is my favorite sport, with basketball a close second.  Every year I fill in my brackets for...Read Full Story

It's amazing what coaching leadership can do to a team. Bo Pellini comes to Nebraska, instills his brand of discipline, and all of a sudden the Cornhuskers are playing in a New Year's Day Bowl.Same goes for the Clemson Tigers who got rid of the younger Bowden during the season. They've gone 4 and 1 straight-up since then including beating the hell out of the South Carolina Gamecocks who are playing in the Outback Bowl.I love what Pellini is doing in Nebraska, but I have to be honest, I just...Read Full Story

They completed an undefeated season by beating Florida, the #2 team in the country, in convincing fashion in the Fiesta Bowl to win their 2nd straight national championship. Nebraska completed a season filled with off-the-field issues that never compromised their on-the-field performance. You can show your love of the Huskers in a number of ways, maybe you'd like a piece of wall art from Fathead featuring a Nebraska Cornhuskers HelmetRead Full Story

Andrew is getting bigger every day and weighs about 23 lbs....much too heavy for me to try to carry around. Andrew's dad is a BIG Nebraska Cornhusker fan and can't wait to start tossing around a football with the little guy. But for now, Bubba will have to settle for wearing a Cornhusker ball cap.He's starting to crawl and can sit up himself....talented kid! Why do we (and all parents) get so happy when their child starts to crawl or walk? Its downhill from there....they are mobile, they can...Read Full Story

Whew! It is getting hectic here. For the past couple of weeks I’ve been getting up for basketball at about 5:30-6:00 in the morning. The team starts individuals, a small version of practice with about four players, or conditions, then I go back to my room about 7:30. On Monday, Wensday, and Friday, I get to sleep for about an hour, but a lot of times its hard to go back to sleep since I’m already awake, then I’m in my Marketing class at 9:00. That class is so fun. I guess its also a little...Read Full Story

Well, the year is just about half over and its been interesting. I started the year off by getting to school early for Orientation Assistant. That was a lot of fun. I got to meet a lot of freshman, and have made long-term friendships with a lot of those. Then came the start of classes. I had a great schedule filled with fun and interesting teachers. Then came the start of basketball. Basketball has been great, except the fact that we have lost three straight, but I have a good feeling about...Read Full Story

Most of you are probably wondering what I do as the head manager of Lynn’s Men’s Basketball Team. Well, there is a lot that goes on. During practice, I will get involved in drills, wether this be taking a pad and hitting players while they are trying to score at the rim or passing the ball to them or rebounding, its hard work. Its not uncommon to see me break a sweat during practice. I have to be at morning individuals in pre-season, which we start between 6:15-6:30 in the morning. I also...Read Full Story
