Nebraska baseball has been here before, right? The Huskers have built some momentum, only to see it diminish during a weekend Big Ten series, which is why they’re 5-10 in conference play and tied for 13th. Minnesota and Purdue also are 5-10. And remember, only the top...
Oklahoma was 6-4 when it played host to Nebraska football for a Black Friday game, Nov. 25, 1994. As usual, however, Tom Osborne took nothing for granted, even though Nebraska was 11-0 and top-ranked in both major polls — with a chance to win the Big Eight title...
Officially, Luke Broderick was credited with the save. But others were involved in saving the Nebraska baseball team’s 6-4 victory against Iowa in Iowa City Sunday. Riley Silva’s game-ending catch, for instance. Silva, who replaced Robby Bolin in center field after...

Last Sunday’s newsletter was about Nebraska’s sixth-year quarterback Jalyn Gramstad, known to teammates and coaches as “Grandad,” the “old man.” This week’s is another, but first . . . Return to 2019. Among the popular movies were “Knives Out” and “Once Upon a Time...
Will the real Nebraska baseball team please step up? Is it the team that took two-out-of-three against then-fifth-ranked Oregon State over the weekend? Or the team that dropped games to Creighton (9-5 Tuesday at Haymarket Park) and Omaha (11-9 at Tal Anderson Field in...
