  1. I would assume there was reasoning for the move at some point and I know its been there a while now, but moving Volleyball from their own forum to a subforum in Other Sports is disappointing

    1. Loebarth

      Loebarth

      Totally Agree.

      And why the move??

    2. MLB 51

      MLB 51

      I'd like to see softball as a sub-forum of baseball, and the same for WBB as a sub of basketball.

      Very disappointing.  Here it is, the second most popular sport at Nebraska and its relegated to a sub forum.  Meanwhile, we have baseball that is struggling to be a decent program and much lower following with fans have it's own forum.

       

      That should change.

       

      Baseball and Softball can be combined as subforums.  Have Volleyball by itself.

  2. Union Omah does it again! Knocks off another MLS squad and is playing Sporting KC for a chance to be in the final 4 of this national tournament open to teams at every level. Incredible run.

  3. Union Omaha the local pro soccer squad, essentially at a single A minor league baseball level, just knocked off MLS Chicago Fire at Soldier Field.

      Maybe they need to move up to MLS?  Mostly joking.  What would be interesting is that this would be the only "major league" professional sports franchise in the state of Nebraska.....and it's soccer.

       

      It would be interesting to see how many fans in the state would get behind it.

      That's pretty cool!! And to chime in the BRB I've always thought when these other football leagues start up its stupid not having Omaha or Lincoln having a team. It's football and Nebraskans will fill the seats

      Nothing against the Chicago Fire, but they had it coming!!! :woo

  4. Snowing at The Big House for OSU Michigan in a competitive game so far. This is about as good as CFB gets.

      Great seeing Michigan get this one!

      Just an incredible scene from Ann Arbor, this is cool.

  5. This Boise St UCF game took a long time to start, but holy cow did it start with a bang!

      Bang, Bang Nick Lang! :lol:

  6. A little Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC rumor today to spice up the summer sports lull.

      OU and Texas are always going to be looking for greener pastures.  That's why NU going back to the Big 12 hasn't made sense.

    3. commando

      is that before or after nebraska rejoins the big 12?

    4. ladyhawke

      ladyhawke

      Ahh the Texass cancer is moving to the SEC.  This is like their third conference change. I’m sure Arkansas isn’t thrilled. 
      It’s too bad we couldn’t get OU to come to the Big 10. That would’ve been fun. 
      Won’t it be fun to watch Texas get thrashed by Alabama or Clemson every year!  

  7. Wild wind storm tonight in Omaha. Lots of cleanup work this weekend!

      My goodness that came in quick and violent! Hope everyone is OK, our neighborhood was torn up! Trees snapped in half or at the root level, crazy scene!

  8. Just came across The Iron Sheik's twitter account. It is a trip.

      Luka Brasi sleeps with the fishes.

  10. NCAA finally fixed the CWS schedule starting in 2022. Finals games on the second weekend is going to be a ton of fun.

  11. In my humble opinion OSU should have avoided having LBs try to guard the best WR CFB has seen in a while. Just a thought.

  12. Illinois just punted on 4th and Goal. B1G is hot today.

      i believe nebraska has done that before.   was it against Va. tech?    

  13. Mookie Betts is insanely good at baseball.

    1. Toe

      Toe

      Is that like a Mookie Blaylock?

    2. krc1995

      krc1995

      I think in the end, will better than Trout. Just a prediction, but Mookie was slow to get started and really didn’t pick up lots of hype til 2-3 years ago.  But my eyes don’t lie. 

  14. Damn. RIP Bob Gibson. The greatest athlete the state has ever produced.

    1. CheeseHusker

      CheeseHusker

      Yeah, tough days to be a Cardinals fan. Lost Brock and Gibson within a month.... and bombed out of the playoffs too

    2. TonyStalloni

      Its wild that Gale Sayers and Bob Gibson pass in the same week.  Omaha had some world class athletes in the 60's. 

    3. krc1995

      krc1995

      All from the same housing project. Johnny Rogers, too. There’s a book about it. I didn’t know that Gibson was a globetrotter. At least I think I heard that 

  15. '02 Rose Bowl against Miami on ACC Network if anyone wants to watch that beating again.

      I kinda liked watching. Last breath of a legend moment.

       

      I did forget just how stacked that Miami team was. 38 draft picks on the roster, 17 of them were first rounders!

    3. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      All I remember about it is that we didn’t deserve to be in that game in the first place....and we proved it in that game. The debacle in Boulder was just too much for me to get beyond.

    4. knapplc

      That 2001 Miami team was an all-time great. 

       

      You could tell they were just going through the motions. They knew they had that game from the start. They could have hung so many more points on us if they'd have kept the pedal mashed to the floor, but they were there to celebrate more than crank up points. 

  16. John Prine passing has hit me like a ton of bricks. If you haven't heard him, give it a chance. He is a pure American legend. Lake Marie might be my favorite of his, but the whole catalog is special.

      It takes me 2 hours to get out of bed and run a mile in the morning.

  18. Wiscy putting another nail in Michigan's coffin with a fullback dive is a thing of beauty.

  19. Alex Gordon just pitched an inning.  Who says watching the Royals lose 16-3 is a waste of time.

  20. Gordon injured for tonight's Omaha game, bummer.

  21. Carsen Edwards has been incredible in the tournament.

    1. JJ Husker

      JJ Husker

      Yeah, he is fun to watch. Like that kid.

    2. Danny Bateman

      Danny Bateman

      One of the best games I've watched as a casual fan in quite some time.

       

      Unbelievable performance from Edwards. He is incredible. We were raving about how athletic he was - he could turn on the speed and drive to the hole with ease or seemingly effortlessly raise up and nail a deep 3. Matchup nightmare.

  22. Things will get very interesting if this Prohm to Bama smoke is real.  The Mayor going to say no to his constituents if that job is open?

    1. Huskball

      Huskball

      As much as it pains me to say it,  Huskers need to lose on Sunday. ISU needs to keep winning this weekend so Prohm is still involved with the team.

  23. Morant is the real deal.  Looks like Westbrook out there.

    1. FreddyIce

      FreddyIce

      Oh my gosh yes. If I’m running any program and have to choose between Morant and Zion, it would be a really tough call. Ballers.

  24. Tough loss for the Mavs, but a very successful season.  Largest crowd in history, most D1 conference and total wins.  Made the conference title game 2 out of 4 eligible years.  People have figured out they play a fun game, season tickets cost like 10 bucks a game and parking is free.  Program is trending up and if I am Summit league level player I would want to play at Baxter and live in Omaha over all those Dakota schools.  Proud Alum tonight, lets make the tourney next year.

      If UNO and Creighton both would have made the dance, imagine the weeping and gnashing of teeth throughout the rest of the state when UNL doesn't.

    2. funhusker

      funhusker

      I'm really thinking about making it a priority to enjoy the Mavs more next year.  Like you  said, they are relatively inexpensive to watch and makes for a fun family outing.  When I mentioned this to my wife she started to laugh at me because I always make fun of Creighton fans that also cheer for UNL.  I think it's different, she doesn't.  I think I'm right....

    3. hskrfan4life

      hskrfan4life

      We have played Creighton in basketball every season. UNO just became post-season eligible four seasons ago, and it definitely is different. I feel it is too. @funhusker
