Big Ten Countdown: 8 - Nebraska's George Flippin And A History of Black Football Players in the Big Ten
We're coming near the end of Nebraska's time in the Big 12. Our countdown to the Big Ten has featured quite a variety of topics. It wouldn't be complete, however, with an examination of the history of black football players - at least those involving Big Ten teams that now includes Nebraska. This...
Big Ten Countdown 29: Mike Rozier's Potential Rushing Record And the 2011 NFL Draft
29 is so good we're going to do it twice, in honor of.... well. June. Or Mike Rozier. It's June and there's less than one month left until Nebraska officially joins the Big Ten on July 1st, 2011! So, what are you planning to do on June 30th? Maybe have a "Big Ten Eve" party (which sounds rather...
Big Ten Countdown: 29 - Mike Rozier. Nebraska's Second Heisman Winner
In 1983, Nebraska scored a lot of points. 654 to be exact. In 13 games this averaged out to be just over 50 points per game. Leading the way was Mike Rozier. With Nebraska's offense humming, Rozier amassed 29 touchdowns in 1983. This is still a Nebraska single season rushing record. In addition to...
Big Ten Countdown - #83: The Scoring Explosion
Yesterday, we looked at how the Huskers hung 84 on Minnesota...and it wasn't in basketball. Today, we gas up the Way Back Machine and go to 1983. You never forget your first team. You remember the names, the jersey numbers, and - if you're lucky - the first time you got to see them play in...
Where I Come From: All-Time Favorite Husker Players
This post is sponsored by EA Sports NCAA Football 2011. A couple of years ago I did an article for "Home Game" Magazine in which I picked the Top 25 Huskers of the past 25 years. Tommie Frazier is at the top of that list, but I wonder - how many of you would pick Tommie Frazier as your favorite...
Where I Come From: How I Became A Husker Fan
This post is sponsored by EA Sports NCAA Football 2011. Husker Mike: To put it simply, I was born that way. My parents have held season tickets since before I was born, and Saturdays in the fall revolved around the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Home game Saturdays began with a mad rush for them to get...
Best of Nebraska: Nominations for Best I-Back
The summer time is the slow time for a college sports blog traditionally. (Though this week looks like the exception with conference realignment on the frontburner.) With that in mind, CornNation will be sponsoring a series of threads to determine the "Best of Nebraska". We'll look at things both...
Countdown to Husker Football Season: #11 - Consecutive 100 Yard Games Rushing Record
Like #15, there are a number of options for #11, including one I nearly chose: - Matt "The Turmaninator" Turman - the once student-equipment manager turned walk-on who started at quarterback after Brook Berringer and Tommie Frazier went down to injury. For more on Turman, go back and look at the...
Recruiting Tuesday: Much Ado About Quarterbacks
UPDATE: Markeith Ambles is now updated to a Tennessee COMMIT! Boy, it felt good to delete the "appears to be leaning toward the Gators" phrase out of his description. -hooper Does it seem to you like it's only been 5 days since Jesse Scroggins went domestic and committed to his hometown...
Robert Marve chooses Purdue: where does Tennessee go from here?
No one should have been shocked that former Miami QB Robert Marve chose a free college education at Purdue over a Tennessee program that NCAA rules prohibited him from investigating. That's not meant to demean the Boilermaker program, which has produced some excellent quarterbacks over the years,...
