I think it's fair to say that the
tradition of college football spring scrimmages has turned the
corner. What began as an opportunity for teams to knock off the rust and evaluate talent in the off season, has morphed into events that are more about ...

Over 80,000 Husker fans poured into Memorial Stadium
for the 2008 Red-White Game. It was the most
well attended spring scrimmage in the nation. Alabama, Ohio State, Penn State and Florida each had over 60,000 fans in attendance and many schools saw their attendance climb from last year's spring game.
One dirty secret about creating a site with
original daily content is that sometimes you’ve got to
write things ahead of time. Such is the case as I write what this piece. In this case though, it’s probably a good thing. With Nebraska seemingly ...
One of the main items reported during the
first week of NU's spring practices was the level
of energy on defense, particularly the players' pursuit of and to the football. It wasn't just the enthusiasm that comes with Spring and a new coaching staff ...
I am entering this post from Barry's Bar,
immediately following the Spring Game. God bless wireless Internet.
I'm joined by Jason, Tony and our friend Sam Adams in developing some talking points from an afternoon in Lincoln. In a game that had ...

This week marks the beginning of fall practices
for Nebraska. It also marks the unofficial end of
the “bad news season” in college football. That’s the period between the end of spring practices and the beginning of fall practices where the ...
I was enjoying a rare mid-week happy hour
in honor of a retiring friend and ran into
a Wake Forest enthusiast. Much like some of our visitors to this site, he had a lot of confidence that Wake would win. He bet me a beer that Nebraska wouldn’t ...
In today's world of sports media hype and
hyperbole, some may say it is safer for a
team's chances (and healthier to their psyche) to stay out of the hot light of public scrutiny. But, you can also argue that it is worse to be out of the national ...
Due to recent events in Husker Nation, an
emergency session of the Big Red Roundtable was recently
convened. A number of topics were discussed including revised expectations for the season, reaction to the Boo Birds in Memorial Stadium, and of ...

Were Saturday's games a sign that the Big
12 North may be on its way back? It
could be, but at the same time you can't read to much into one weekend. We've seen too many teams around the country already go Jekyll and Hyde. How seriously do we ...
My Saturday started innocently enough. Friends came over
to our house for brunch, mimosas were served. It
was all a pretty pleasant scene. Then...the game started. In the hours that followed, NU set a record for defensive futility, as the 2007 ...
It's time for another Big Red Roundtable. Jump
into the comments and add your two cents. The
2007 season finished with a disappointing 5-7 record. Very few people expected this. What went wrong? Darren Carlson: I contend that this was ...
Bo Pelini's staff is still not entirely complete.
While they still have one spot to fill and
have not made any official announcements, that has not stopped the coach, Athletic director Tom Osborne, and they eight men they have gathered under NU's ...
According to KETV in Omaha, one policy that
new Husker head coach Bo Pelini will implement is
that no player will be allowed to wear earrings around the offices. Which begs the question, why? Perhaps Pelini doesn’t view earrings as professional. ...
The assessment, evaluation, and value of talent is
one of the great enigmas in college football. It
is very difficult to win big without it, though having it does not necessarily assure wins, either. It is a qualifying factor, a prerequisite with ...
Very seldom does much good news come out
during the football off season. Usually it is just
reports about injuries and suspensions. Here at BRN, Steve Hanway dubbed the summer off season " Bad News Season ." Well, I suppose that moniker can also be ...
It is no secret that the Aggies have
some interesting traditions. From the collie graveyard to the
pseudo-military caste system that is enforced among students, you can't spell crazy without A&M.; If you needed more proof, witness this video put ...
Bill Callahan's use of the Red-White Spring Game
as a glorified exhibition intended to entertain crowds and
woo recruits. Top units never squared off against each other, and scores got a bit out of hand. After a year or so of this, hard-core NU ...
Sunny weather, a new coach and a great
crowd made for a fun day in at the
Red-White Spring game in Lincoln. Here are my reactions from the sold-out scrimmage. Celebration of Nebraska Football It was absolutely a day for fans, as more than 80,000 ...
Joe Ganz led the Red team to an
early lead during Saturday's spring scrimmage. Coach Bo Pelini
indicated Ganz as the clear No. 1 quarterback for NU heading into fall ball. Continue reading for more photos from the sideline of the Husker Spring ...
