How much NIL money is going to Basketball players at Nebraska? I have not really seen anything on this.

In the lineup this year. What does everyone think of this year's team. Know its early but

At the Royals/ Angels game….

With baseball overlapping a home WBB postseason game today, I’ll be out at PBA covering WBB taking on Northern Iowa in the second round of the WNIT. That means no coverage for baseball from me today. I’ll be back Tuesday in Omaha for Creighton.

Doesn’t mean I won’t be paying attention. Huskers going for the series sweep today at 2 p.m. vs. Nicholls.

Will be heading up to Lincoln for a buddy’s birthday. Where’s the best places to eat and what do I need to try???? I haven’t been there since we played y’all last in like 2008 or something like that so I’m sure it’s changed quite a bit.

PS, thanks for Zane Flores 😉

Good day for the Husker women - but it came with a price. Hit the link.

2023 Outlook​

March and April will be all about building depth, as Luke Reimer should see a limited snap share while Nick Henrich is on the shelf nursing a prior injury. While this isn't optimal for building on-field chemistry, it affords those lower in the current pecking order a chance to improve their standing.

That news should provide a thrill with several incoming additions touting a laundry list of impressive skills. MJ Sherman and Chief Borders have already received a great deal of fanfare, while Eric Fields' name has been floated as a potential steal of the 2023 recruiting class. Dylan Rogers steps onto campus in the fall when the Cypress, Texas, native gets his own chance to impress.


Matt Rhule has been especially complimentary of Borders as winter conditioning wrapped up. "He's elite in the community, and he gives back to people. Here's one thing I know — wherever Chief ends up on a given day, that place will be better for him having been there."

Arguably the most curious edge rusher this spring is Jimari Butler. After briefly testing the early transfer portal waters, he withdrew his name two days after Rhule was hired. Nebraska's new head coach made a concerted effort to get to know Butler, including sitting down for a meal with both him and tight end Thomas Fidone.— Written by Brandon Cavanaugh, part of the Athlon Contributor

Let's go Huskers....make your own luck!

We're getting set for the second round of the WNIT here at PBA as Nebraska (17-14, 8-10 B1G) takes on Northern Iowa (23-9, 16-4). Second straight Missouri Valley Conference foe for the Huskers in the postseason as they beat Missouri State 74-65 on Thursday. On Friday, the Panthers came away with an 88-76 victory over Colorado State to earn their trip to Lincoln.

PBA is filling out nice right now on this Sunday afternoon. Nebraska has never won two home postseason games in program history. Here's the recap from Missouri State on Thursday in case you want to catch up.:

USA vs Venezuela

Big GS by Trea Turner to put the Americans back on top in the 8th

Most exciting game on TV right now.

Actually watched a decent amount of wrestling this year for the first time. Always somewhat followed but never watched much. Admittedly know very little about the sport.

First off did S Lee really not wrestle in the medal round? Was it injury related? If not can anyone play devils advocate for why that’s not a total b**ch move?

Obviously an underwhelming NU performance today. So was it bad match ups, bad luck? Or is it something with Mark Manning and his guys performing at the highest level?

Someone in the know fill me in please.

The Huskers are expecting to have prospects in town for the first spring practice under Matt Rhule.

McGahee is excited to meet everyone.

“I‘ve talked to all of the coaches a bunch of times over the phone but I haven’t met most them in person so I’m looking forward to that. I’m looking forward to seeing the coaches in action and how they run their practices. Coach Coop told me they just finished a bunch of new facilities so I want to see those as well.”

Massey told me what he is looking forward to about the visit too.

“Meeting face to face with coaches. Talking with the O-line and observing how practices are at Nebraska.”

There could be more guys that pop up as well. Rhule really wants to get aggressive with these practice visits.

would you like to see Trev go after given the choice? Who would Nebraska have a serious shot at? Would Bobby Hurley even consider coming to Nebraska to get a seat in the Big?

I know Fred is safe for another year but I believe Trev will be looking a year from today. It’s truly maddening how bad our men’s basketball program is.

Creighton gets a very generous - in my opinion - 6 seed, and only has to travel to Denver. Most talking heads had them on the #7 line, and I thought that was a bit too kind.

Hawkeyes have to play Auburn in Birmingham. I don’t see that going well.

This is a must listen. What a great kid and great ambassador for the university. I just wish we had 4 years of him. And the Bandomel story makes me wish we had more time with him too. And I love the question Gary put to him about recruiting kids to NU.

For winning an ncaa tournament game and accomplishing what no other major league college basketball teams in the state of Nebraska has ever done. No other Nebraska team has won a game in the tournament whether in the state of Nebraska or outside the state in our country. Not in this country or in our hemisphere. Not in our hemisphere or the other earth's hemisphere. In fact, all known hemispheres and spheres in our solar system and to the best of our knowledge in the known universe and possibly unknown universes (and their spheres). And it stands to reason that any parallel universes with parallel Nebraska universities would equally not have won an ncaa bracket game. Not other than Creighton.
Although, a parallel universe may have slight differences so, even though remote, it's possible that a university not named Creighton, in that parallel universe, may have won a first round game. Second round probably not. Then it's really stretching to say it's parallel.

So Creighton, today, accomplished more clout than any other major Nebraska education unit since man crawled out of his cave in amazement at the orb in the sky.

One more thing. You fulfilled my bracket expectation so kudos to that (another single point of light in the history of Nebraska) but you'll need to beat it Sunday because I don't have you going any further.

‘I like it’

Or

‘OMG Make it STOP’

Rhule, Alberts and Osborne sat down for a 48-minute conversation about football.
