After the ending we witnessed on Saturday night, a part of me is wishing that Bo Pelini will pull a "Mack Brown" and put an asterisk on the 2009 football season. Regardless of the outcome, the attitude that we belong...

Inspired by Darren's beautifully titled, highly specific "Screen!" post yesterday, today we're going to tackle one thing Nebraska needs to do defensively to beat Texas. It's simple in theory: Intercept Colt McCoy. It's far more difficult in practice....

For about the tenth time in three days, somebody asked me how I thought Nebraska would do against Texas on Saturday night. I rattled off my tried and true answer of "they need to play mistake-free football, block and tackle...

Admit it, you've watched an infomercial or two. Maybe you have even ordered something. It all looks great and sounds great. But, you probably didn't notice the tiny little disclaimer at the bottom of the screen or the margin of...

There's some thought that the outcome of the Big 12 title game is entirely in the hands of the Texas Longhorns. While there's no doubt that the Longhorns have been the superior team over twelve games, it's still largely about...

There are a number of reasons to be disappointed with the Husker's performance on Saturday. Perhaps the biggest disappointment is all of the missed opportunities. Consider: NU's offense ran 71 total plays. OU ran 63. Of NU's 71 plays, 42...

The Cotton Bowl is surely the best bowl the Huskers have been invited to in five seasons. But a Fiesta (Spanish word for party) would have been so much more fun. The SEC team the Huskers face will likely be...

A Classic In the Making?
Saturday night's Big 12 title game continues to weigh heavily on the minds of NU and OU fans alike. I imagine an economic study would point to lost productivity in both states this week, as zealots in Scarlet or Crimson...
