Huskers return to the court as a 21 point favorite tonight against Southern. Game 4 of 4 on BTN. Probably even odds the prior game goes to OT.

Are we where we want to be? No.

Did we make progress? Yes.

Try to enjoy the progress and the journey. I have no idea what that means next year.

What I do look forward to....

Dylan a year older. He struggled but he's still young. I think he can be pretty damn good sooner than people think.

Barney is a bad ass as they say....Lloyd should be much better next year. I feel like he should have gotten more looks this year.

Can't wait to see Carter Nelson and HH play next year at whatever position they end up at.

Hope Fidone comes back and proves people wrong. Markway is intriguing.

Shavers and McGahee are electric..looking forward to seeing more. Lenhardt played well yesterday...he has a chance to be pretty good.

Thank gawd for Ceyair Wright....I hope J Wright gets another year.

Mekhi Nelson will be fun to see what he can do.

Excited for Donavan Jones.

Goodbye Robinson and NUTMASHER, hello Van Poppel, Davis and Juedy. We can hope...

I think people under estimate how the young talent we have will step up next year. Yes, we lose KEY Sr's but the team overall is young.

Let's go win the off-season..Can't wait.

Good discussion with Steve on what the Pinstripe Bowl victory means for the 2024 season and beyond

Oklahoma State is having a disastrous season and Gundy had to apologize for what he said about fans who are criticizing him.

The Sporting News

all regular season over/unders:

Passing Yards - 2669.5
Passing TDs - 20.5
Rushing Yards - 199.5
Rushing TDs - 5.5

keep in mind sack yardage lost counts against rushing totals in college, unlike in the NFL

Say you want about the guy . I say a lot . But I have to respect him for l
Playing Shedeur and Hunter the entire game . Easily could have took them out down by 4 scores with 8 -10 minutes left in the game.

For Nebraska, you'll all remember that 2024 began with NU Hoops knocking off #1 Purdue at PBA. That teed up a great run to a top 3 finish in the B1G, reaching the semi-finals of the B1G Tournament, and the first NCAA appearance in a decade. NU Hoops also finished this year with a good start to their season, with a win at Creighton and winning the Hawaii tournament. Hoiberg's crew gave us a lot to like in 2024.

NU Baseball picked up in early Spring and finished tied for the league title, then won the B1G tournament. The NCAA Tournament was a downer, but they still hoisted a trophy.

Of course, NU Football checked a few important boxes this year. They definitely left a few out there, but dominating wins over Colorado and Wisconsin provided more joy than this program had seen in nearly a decade. They finished with a pretty cool bowl victory at Yankee Stadium, and have us all more optimistic than we have been in a LONG time.

Not all of you are with me being fans of the Chiefs and Royals...so stop reading if you are not. The Chiefs began the year with a somewhat unexpected run to the Super Bowl in early February, then locked up the top seed in the AFC this Fall. They are literally 20-1 in 2024! And the Royals - of course - second only to the Huskers in my fan hierarchy, played great baseball all season long; being in a playoff spot all but a few days of the season; then winning a series before losing a tough one to the Yankees.

All in all, there was never a dull moment all year!

Happy New Year!

Watching the Texas and Georgia game......fvxk the bong horns but damn they are fast......Quinn Evers throws a beautiful pass...
My cornhuskers have a tall hill to climb.

You heard it here first. Nebraska will win the B1G in 2025 and be in the CFP final 4. This team just has too much returning not to blow the doors off of everyone

Appalachian state DT Joshua Donald will visit the 6th

I think it’s a really cool move (but I’m sure someone will disagree and be offended).

oops… got beat to it by seconds… mods delete

South Dakota State wide receiver Griffin Wilde. Entered with DNC. Had 71 catches for 1,154 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2024. 6'2" 200 lbs and just completed his sophomore season.

Was listening to Cbrew and another kid do a season wrap up plus forward look and Chancellor casually mentioned Javin Wright in a discussion of the Rover position next year. Said Javin was brought up in that context on Farley and Jackson's show. Have the incoming kid from OU slide into Wright's spot at LB and have two athletic 6-5 kids operating at the second and third level. Wright's second year and this year qualify as hardship exceptions, so I would think it a no brainer for him to get a 7th year. Given his health history, I doubt the NFL is in the cards. Does he even want to play a 7th season? What's mind blowing is that he didn't play half the season, but finished ninth in tackles this year.

Nebraska took care of business against Southern in the last non-con game of the season. Up next? A big one Saturday against No. 15 UCLA inside Pinnacle Bank Arena.

Just read Sharpe will not be calling the game tonight due to a procedure he needs to have done in his battle against cancer.
Prayers your way Mr. Sharpe. Husker nation will miss you. Get well and hopefully you will be back on the air next week.

My opinion is if people don’t like the rule they should petition to change it.

I’m off to a great start with Henry yesterday….my question is about QB choice. I have both Allen and Purdy. Normally Allen is a no-brainer. But his game weather forecast is sounding pretty bad, and Pudys is much better. What say you Huskerland? $750 on the line.

Nebraska finishes up its non-conference schedule tonight with Southern (5-7). Tipoff is slated for 8 p.m. and the game will be shown on BTN with Kevin Kugler and Nick Bahe on the call.

Here's quick preview:

Per the fong. Auburn transfer DL TJ Lindsey will visit Purdue on Jan. 1 and then Nebraska on Jan. 3. 4 star out of high school, played in 1 game, 4 yrs eligibility.

A lot of people hate on Deion but good golly all he does is win. Wish we would’ve had sheduer and hunter in a huskers jersey.
