Tis the season!  Nebraska Soccer started their season tonight @ Kansas.  Speaking of which, for you hardcore Hockey fans,  just an FYI.  'The Great One' Wayne Gretzky's niece, Mila Gretzky (her dad Brent Gretzky briefly played in the NHL) is a Freshman on the Nebraska Soccer team. 

Nebraska's winningest women's tennis player, Mary Weatherholt is playing for a national title today @ noon (CDT). You can view it live via webstream here ---> http://www.ncaa.com/championship/liveplayer/player?gameId=305193&date=2013/05/27

Well wishes to all those going through this tumultuous storm system. Prepare accordingly and stay safe wherever you are.

Congrats to former Husker Volleyball player, Julie Hermann. New A.D. @ Rutgers. http://sports.omaha.com/2013/05/15/ex-husker-historic-hire-at-rutgers/

Congrats to Lady Huskers Tennis. Qualified for NCAA Championships for the first time in school history. #GBR

Manti Te'o's imaginary girlfriend lands @ #69 on Maxim's 'Hot 100' list. http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/manti-te-imaginary-girlfriend-lands-maxim-hot-100-list-article-1.1339507

Free admission tomorrow @ Bowlin Stadium for #16 NU vs #9 Michigan. NU has a nation leading 22 home game winning streak. Lots of pre-game tailgating activities planned. Jack Hoffman throwing the honorary first pitch + members from numerous Husker sports (football, softball, bowling, soccer, basketball, rifle) will be signing autographs. See link for more info. http://goo.gl/twZwx

R.I.P. Storm Thorgerson. I'll see you on The Dark Side of the Moon.

Congrats to Women's Gymnastics for winning their 3rd consecutive conference title.

Lady Huskers Softball team upset #1 Oklahoma @ Norman yesterday in 2nd game of doubleheader. It's the 2nd time in program history they've beaten a #1 team. Florida was first in 2011.

So we've all been Punk'd?

The Bluth family returns in May. http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-207_162-57563151/arrested-development-confirmed-to-return-in-may/

#25 Lady Huskers vs #14 Lady Boilermakers @ 1pm CST today on CBS.

Since the formation of the BCS in 1998, the Big East is 25-23 overall vs SEC. 7-2 in bowl games and 3-2 in BCS bowl games.

Wishing HBers a safe New Years Eve. Be careful out there tonight.

Have a safe holiday, HB'ers.

Lots of single season NFL records on the line these next two weeks. Aside from Calvin Johnson breaking Jerry Rice's record last night, Adrian Peterson is 294 yds. shy of breaking Eric Dickerson's record while J.J. Watt and Aldon Smith are 4 sacks away from breaking Michael Strahan's record.

Nirvana reunion with Paul McCartney standing in for Kurt Cobain @ the Hurricane Sandy Benefit Concert tonight in NYC. I'm intrigued by this news. I love Nirvana and The Beatles.

Mack Brown is 2-7 vs. KSU. 0-2 vs Ron Prince-led KSU and 2-5 vs. Bill Snyder-led KSU. The last time Mack beat KSU was in consecutive years of 2002-2003. KSU owns Texas the same way Texas owns Nebraska. It baffles the mind, doesn't it?

As UGLY as that loss was, salute to the Badgers for that dominating display. They simply outcoached and outplayed us from start to finish. Best of luck in the Rose Bowl.

Shannon Barbara, a spokeswoman for ticket re-seller Stubhub, said Friday that 21 percent of its sales were going to Nebraska, more than any other state. Wisconsin was next with 17 percent. She said Nebraskans were paying on average about $100 per ticket. -- http://www.omaha.com/article/20121123/NEWS/711249934

Have a safe Thanksgiving, HB'ers.

Terry Joseph woke up this morning feeling fortunate that he still has a job to go to.

Tough year for schools that wear Black & Gold/Yellow. Of the 9 FBS schools with those colors, only 2 have qualified for a bowl game: Vanderbilt & Central Florida. Another two have to win next weekend to qualify: Mizzou and Wake Forest. Five did not qualify: Colorado, Iowa, Army, Southern Miss, Western Michigan.

It's surprising that Michigan has not scored an offensive TD since Oct. 13th.
