    Five-for-five: How it can reshape the QB picture ahead for Nebraska football

    The five-for-five rule is here, and Nebraska football is ready for it. How might the Huskers feel about another year of eligibility for all of their players who’ve not redshirted? That group includes Anthony Colandrea, the QB1 who came to Lincoln last winter expecting to play one season. Now he’s got two. How might the change impact Trae Taylor, the Nebraska five-star commit in the 2027 class?  We’re looking, too, at other Nebraska football players who’ve got two years instead of one left in the program. And the impact of five-for-five could be felt even more strongly in women’s sports such as Nebraska’s nationally prominent volleyball program. The CWS is over. We look back. Do you want to golf at Memorial Stadium? It can happen. And Nebraska basketball is dealing with the first preseason injury to a member of its 2026-27 team.

    How – and why – Nebraska football convinced us that a jersey reveal was big news

    In case you missed it over the weekend, Nebraska football is set to wear new jerseys in 2026. The athletic department made a big deal in the lead up to this announcement and in the immediate aftermath of it. But why? Did they simply want to maximize a money-making opportunity? Was it really about tradition? Did Nebraska get tired of its boring offseason? We have some thoughts and theories. Trae Taylor was in the news, too, before his official visit to Lincoln. His Millard South took home a piece of 7-on-7 hardware on Friday. Taylor talked a little on the way to winning the trophy. The Iowa football public noticed. This is how things work between the Huskers and Hawkeyes. Also, we review the final weekend of recruiting visitors at Nebraska. What can the Huskers expect over the days ahead as a dead period arrives? Join us. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

  3. What if… Kirk Ferentz had followed Tom Osborne at Nebraska 30 years ago?!?

    What if… Kirk Ferentz had followed Tom Osborne at Nebraska 30 years ago?!?

    We’re getting funky on this Friday in the Nebraska mailbag. A late-arriving email asked this question: What if Nebraska had hired Kirk Ferentz in the late ‘90s? Isn’t he everything in a coach that the Huskers valued in a post-Tom Osborne world? Well, yes. And no. We explain.  Has Nebraska high school football ever seen the hype that Trae Taylor is set to deliver this spring? Does the Nebraska offense have a “go to?” Now that Brendan Sorsby is gone from Texas Tech, will Nebraska still refuse to schedule the Red Raiders? We’ve got more talk about the Nebraska basketball re-seat and the 2025 College Basketball Crown, of all things. And we offer some final bits of speculation on the announcement coming Saturday at Memorial Stadium. Join us.   Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

  4. Is Nebraska football on track to sign its best group of DB recruits ever?

    Is Nebraska football on track to sign its best group of DB recruits ever?

    The 19th and latest commitment for Nebraska football in the 2027 recruiting class gives the Huskers four in the defensive backfield. All are four-star prospects, a first for Nebraska in one class. We take a historical look at the best groups in the secondary ever to sign with Nebraska – and compare those classes to the work that Addison Williams and the Huskers’ recruiting staff are doing this year. Also, you can see Trae Taylor in a 7-on-7 tournament this week before his official visit to Lincoln. Nebraska basketball is planning a dreaded re-seat of Pinnacle Bank Arena after the 2026-27 season. Nebraska volleyball, as usual, scored very big at the start of recruiting season. And we look at the CWS finals. What does it mean for Nebraska baseball and comparable programs that Oklahoma rolled to the championship series after starting the NCAA postseason as an afterthought?

    It’s Bananas! Nebraska football stays on a recruiting hot streak. What’s left in June?

    What day is it? We’re back to start another week, weary but full of excitement after the opening weekend of the College World Series and all kinds of excitement in the sporting world,  nationally and locally. Nebraska football picked up two more commitments, including a flip. There was a flavor of barbeque with the latest additions. Another big weekend of visits on campus awaits. What can Matt Rhule and the Huskers still accomplish in June?  We are remembering George Darlington, the 30-year Nebraska football assistant who passed away on Sunday. Darlington was one of a kind, in his coaching style and with his connection to the Huskers – even long after his 2002 retirement. Finally, we review the weekend of Savannah Bananas baseball at Memorial Stadium, CWS traffic patterns and food possibilities.

    Nebraska football mailbag: If starting from scratch, what’s the perfect conference?

    We’re here on this glorious College World Series Friday to answer your questions in a mailbag episode. We start with deep thoughts about the proliferation of gambling and its impact on sports as college football grapples with the Brendan Sorsby issue at Texas Tech. Are we part of the problem? What if you could pick the teams for Nebraska’s new, make-believe conference? If the Huskers are doing everything right in NIL, how do things look when a program does it wrong? Could Nebraska have altered the course of its recent football history just by winning a few of the one-score games that it lost over the past decade against ranked opponents? Lots to ponder today.
