This little guy used to sleep outside our studio, while single parent dad was working. Today a dream becomes reality for Caleb and many others around the state. Congrats to the athletes, families, coaches and supporters along the way.
Mickey made an interesting point on how he had to be show he was a good person before a good coach to gain trust of players. Relationship building 101.
Will Bolt has spent 9 full seasons at Nebraska as a player/assistant/head coach and has been part of 8 regular season or conference champions. The man from Conroe, Texas has a winning DNA.
Hearing from coaches that have met Rhule or his staff today. They were rooting for Rhule to get the Nebraska deal done, they are headstrong about the plan and for the first time since Solich a head coach feels authentic sitting across from me.
Saw this Adrian his first game at Nebraska in ‘18. Tons of confidence, weapons around him and healthy and in a good head space. Been rare to see the kid smile, good for him tonight.
40-0 with no doubts and more belts than a leather factory. Can you remember when Bud looked this good? Where are those that said he was beating nobodies for years? This is what domination looks like.
Things you look up while waiting in line. Nebraska will add 5 "legacy" players tomorrow (Clark, Smith, Benning, Koch, Raiola). Fathers went a combined 178-45 (.798) at Nebraska.
How do you say goodbye to someone that gave you your name? My mom’s journey ended this week. She was a nurse for 51 years from RN to CEO. Twice kicked cancer & still volunteered and tutored ESL nursing students, in her final days. Time well spent adds to life well lived. 🙏
Nebraska has played 23 games, in the last 2 years. 14 have been one-possession games. They are 1-13. I don't care so close, so far or whatever. This is an unreal stat.
Mickey Joseph spending back-2-back Friday’s recruiting in Omaha, is making quite the impression on prospects and coaches. He’s done his homework quickly on what has ailed Nebraska in a metro of nearly a million people.
I am excited to announce I am a Cornhusker! Although there were great things about all of my top three schools, I firmly believe in what is being built by Coach Rhule and his staff. I want to thank everyone who has helped me and made this process special. God bless and GBR!! 🌽🎈
Sitting near 90-year old Starkville native. MSU grad with tickets to multiple sports. Said his health isn’t great, but his neighbor told him he had to be in Omaha so they drove up yesterday. Fan for 80+ years and now 3 outs from witnessing history. Pretty damn cool.
NEWS: Top quarterback recruit Dylan Raiola (
@RaiolaDylan
) told ESPN he’s switching his college commitment to Nebraska from Georgia. He’s the highest-ranked recruit — No. 8 overall in ESPN’s rankings — to pick Nebraska since ESPN began ranking high school players in 2006.
The inability for this program to seize good fortune is beyond words. Nebraska got the ball at their own 45 with :31 left and Iowa wins it on a 38-yard FG with :00 on the clock.
Micheal Jordan sent a fax, I’ll send a tweet. Had to keep this under wraps for awhile, but we’re back

1 seed Nebraska just swept another 1 seed. That performance was all business. The dream scenario of beating either Texas or Wisconsin to hang a banner is alive and well.
Tom Osborne told jokes and stories about Frank, but paused as his voice cracked and his eyes teared up before introducing him. Frank jokingly responds “I always have to follow you.”

Cole Payton, Zane Flores should’ve never been allowed to leave the state, but they are both at or going to places that properly evaluate and develop HS to college QB’s.
Omaha has parted with Derrin Hansen as the Mavs MBB coach. Lots of thoughts that I will share in due time. We’ve become close friends, sharing the highs and lows of life and hoops. As my grandpa used to say “he’s good people.” Huge impact on people and a program. Thank you, DH.
This man knows his sport, sells his sport, wants the sport to continue to grow and be treated fairly. And he’s won 600 matches and could run the NCAA tomorrow.
John Cook is FIRED UP on trying to move the NCAA Volleyball Tournament field from 48 back to the original 64 teams.
"Basketball didn't cut back, why are we cutting back? Football didn't cut back, why are we cutting back?"

Fitting tribute to Omaha Bryan graduate Chris Gradoville, leaving the lights on all night. Gradoville starred on this field, before moving onto Creighton.
It’s nice to hear someone in these settings that isn’t a robot, that can carry a conversation. I genuinely believe he likes talking football. Yes, he’s selling Nebraska and himself, but you can tell he loves the game.
BREAKING: Class of 2024 RB Kewan Lacy tells me he has Committed to Nebraska!
The 5’11 205 RB from Lancaster, TX chose the Cornhuskers over Ole Miss, Arizona State, & Baylor
“Sorry 4 the wait!”
RIP to a staple of Gameday weekends in Lincoln. We knew the Sidetrack favorites by heart and maybe even got to sing on stage. Joyce’s heart was bigger than her familiar voice.
Next week Nebraska goes to East Lansing trying to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2016. Spartans haven't won since September 9th and have lost 6 straight by an average of 22 points.
James Williams, a walk-on, was on the scout team early in the week. Defensive staff thought they could use him in their pass rush package. He got a sack and created havoc in his limited time. Great story and even better job by Knighton using any personel with the goal to win.
Tony White gets all of the deserved praise, but Terrence Knighton is another shining star on this defensive staff. They may have found a natural pass rusher in James Williams.
That type of regional atmosphere needs to be in Lincoln, sooner than later. Fun team with a true identity and bright future. The buzz on weekends at Haymarket returned and it had been awhile.
I’ve suggested for awhile the Nebraska-Creighton baseball series should feature a home game in Lincoln and Omaha. The 3rd game at a unique site. Duncan Field, Sioux City, Brown Park are some that come to mind. Others?
Westside QB Anthony Rezac recently sent 50 letters to schools with his Hudl link, saying he’s been overlooked. PWO interest highest among Notre Dame, Kansas, Utah State, Florida and Northwestern.
