According to “Endymion,” the John Keats poem: “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Tom Osborne’s 200th career victory with Nebraska football would be a joy forever, you could say. But it “wasn’t a thing of beauty,” Osborne said, following 7th-ranked Nebraska’s 27-13...
It was fun while it lasted, Nebraska baseball’s three consecutive victories at the MLB Desert Invitational in Arizona to start the season that is. But the fourth game Monday, against Stanford, wasn’t fun. The Cardinal scored six runs in the first inning on the way to...
Take your pick. Pitching or hitting? Either would be an appropriate beginning for a recap of Nebraska baseball’s third victory in the MLB Desert Invitational Sunday in Mesa, Ariz. This time the Huskers defeated Grand Canyon 9-1. So let’s begin with pitching,...

Elation. And a sigh of relief. That was my immediate response to reports Nebraska football great Roger Craig was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, in his 28th season of eligibility. Though eligibility never runs out, inclusion on the ballot can. For reasons...
It certainly wasn’t easy, but ninth-ranked Nebraska football managed a win against UCLA in the third game of the 1993 season, defeating the 0-1 Bruins 14-13 at the Rose Bowl. Maybe fan support made a difference. An estimated 12,000 in the crowd of 50,299 were Husker...
