This behavior is reprehensible. Probably alcohol and bad character mixed together. But bringing this up paints the picture that Nebraska fans are cruel and caustic. I don't think that's true. For every bozo who would say that to a 13 year old, there are hundreds of Nebraska fans who would have...

Nebraska 13, Illinois 17 TO= 349 yards

First and goal at the five, and no points. Game on the line at 4th and 18 and you can't get the stop. If you wrote a fictional story with these kinds of moments, people would say it isn't believeable. And it isn't. I just can't believe we can't make ONE lousy play and win a game.

Rhule could have ended the Penn State speculation (I really doubt he was being seriously considered) with one simple statement. Instead, he chose to play the speculation for all it was worth, even if it was a distraction to the team. He got his extension, and I'm not sure we can say the rumors...

I vote for Kansas. Play them at Arrowhead, week zero.

Washington 17, Nebraska 28 TO=386

I wish no ill will to Dylan Raiola or Scott Frost. Raiola had his big moment in Eugene and doesn't have to look at cornfields anymore. Frost has his big win against #2 BYU. Fine. Can we stop talking about these two already?

I think it looks great. Thanks for your efforts!

I'm not terribly optimistic about the remainder of the season, but I'm willing to sit back and enjoy whatever good things happen. There are bound to be some nice plays coming our way. I'm numb to fourth quarter collapses after experiencing two in a row. I have no playoff illusions. I'm hoping...

I would suspect Kentucky, but they've already stolen a QB from us and he's starting for them. Several SEC powers will need to replace a QB after this season. How much will it take to get AC to leave Lincoln? $4M? $5M? Let the bidding begin. He does have an issue with height that might make him...

One step closer to a Premiere League with maybe 64 teams that play for a championship. One step closer to post-seasons resembling the NFL. Regular season games will have less meaning, so teams will be willing to upgrade their schedules to bring television better matchups to promote. FCS schools...

Nebraska 35, Oregon 28 TO=409 yards

Doc, in addition to Fairbury, we have another thing in common: one of my Dad's many odd jobs to earn his way through the University of Nebraska in the 1940s was to serve as a stadium usher. He claimed he once seated the governor of Kansas (Alf Landon, who lost in a landslide to Roosevelt in the...

I was five years old and had just visited my father's native Nebraska for the first time that summer. The team went undefeated that fall and earned a trip to the Orange Bowl to play Alabama. We lost and they tell me I cried about it, but I don't remember. The next year we lost to Alabama again...

Sarcasm. It's a service I provide.

1. People need to ease up on Cunanan. Remember, it takes a good snap, a good hold, and then a good kick. We're back to having operational problems on these kicks and that must stop. A good kicker is important, but so is making the most of red zone opportunities -- scoring touchdowns. That's one...

I hope I'm wrong, Doc, I really do... but this team is still so mistake-prone. If there is a blizzard of penalties like we saw against the Terps, this game will be another blowout loss to Indiana. I'm thinking they'll cut down on the mental errors and make a game of it. But the window of...

Indiana 31, Nebraska 21 TO=344

I still remember the fun we had when Rozier and Craig were in the backfield at the same time. Roger and his brother Curtis were Iowa imports who added lofty dimensions to the offense. Roger is on the short list of most successful NFL Huskers. Sad to read about his diagnosis. Happy to read he...

^^^^^^ This! Braun and his staff are solid, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Northwestern in a bowl game this year. I still have a lot of doubt about Chiles, but he showed in the second half that he is a capable (but inconsistent) QB. Full disclosure: I have a degree in journalism from...
