    Eliminate bye week

    When will people get married in Nebraska with no bye weeks?

    Frager, Sandfort, Jacobsen and Curtis returning

    It will be interesting to see if B1G teams counter the Michigan recruiting to bring in BIG kids who are physical and can jump, maybe not great shooters but they wear you down. That was our weakness last year, inside power game.

    Frager, Sandfort, Jacobsen and Curtis returning

    Who is sleeping on Curtis? He has a lot to prove and improve in his game. Fred did seem to rely on him much at all, even when we had injuries.

    Portal targets for Hoiberg. Sam Orme is N.

    I like how some of profiles of potential athletes show their PPG, ROG and APG while others show - played in 10 of 30 games averaging 2.8 MPG. Lots of players seemingly couldn’t crack their current teams at all but are hopeful they will make with a second team with no evidence of success. This...

    Portal targets for Hoiberg. Sam Orme is N.

    Assuming money is the issue that has been resolved. IF there was in influx of funds they would likely go to existing players who get a raise first. Then, Fred seems to be the kind who looks for pieces that fit what he wants to do. Look at Michigan, May wants size and lots of it. They can...

    My Early 2026 Husker Football W-L Prediction

    Only foolish people would vote Nebraska in the top 25 much less top 15 with our early season schedule. Perhaps IF we dominate these opponents then maybe but what have we seen recently that would suggest such an outcome? It is very likely we will get destroyed by Indiana whether on not it is on...

    Berke Enters Portal

    NIL will eventually work itself out over time. There isn’t an endless stream of money to be spent on players. When the results don’t show up on the court, either coach or players or both are gone. People that contribute large sums of money often want just a wee bit of say so in the operation...

    Final Four thread

    The officiating in the tournament is much different that regular season. In a regular season game last night would have had many more fouls called. It was physical and the most physical teams, in my opinion, will survive to the end. Michigan was intent on taking the ball to down the lane into...

    How to not be soft …

    The portal a meat market. Seems to be three levels of players that enter. Those who good in lower divisions, those highly recruited who are barely playing at their U, those who have some talent but it may never have peaked in the system or they were passed by a younger kid. Pinning dreams of...

    NCAA is expected to finalize expansion to 76 teams

    Just an opinion, but had we not had the great year this year and high expectations suddenly surfacing for this most years, we may have been more in favor as a bubble team in a strong conference. Maybe

    This says it all. You would have been the type of person I would have hired as a Principal/AD. Congratulations on contributing to their lives.

    Portal targets for Hoiberg. Sam Orme is N.

    I am not of the opinion that the proposed line up and backups is enough. I agree with tuco when you combine all Sam did, it adds up to a lot of points with rebounds, steals, assists and point added together. Who makes up for Frager's 12 points off the bench and then combine his ability to...

    Pay Nate Loesner?

    Like any D it has its weaknesses. It tries to force you into mistakes with passing lanes and take quick shots. All year, the teams that moved the ball and not just a few passes but several to find the open guy learned what it takes. The D is constantly chasing, doubling and trying capitalize on...

    Hoiskers enter Sweet 16 as 1.5 favorites over the Herkeys

    Both teams played well, some great shooting! Iowa stayed patient against our chase D and it did two things in the long run - wore our guys out, they just looked tired and Iowa as able to be patient and move the ball not just settling for the first open shot. Did Mast make any outside shots? They...

    Hoiskers enter Sweet 16 as 1.5 favorites over the Herkeys

    Well, with the youth on their team and their coach, they aren’t going away.
