Some of my questions about UNO's funding plans for the proposed hockey arena for Maverick hockey and other sports were answered by Henry Cordes in Sunday's World-Herald.  But a previous concern is becoming magnified.Where will that extra $4.7 million in annual rev... read more...

Omaha's CenturyLink Center beats out domes in St. Louis and San Antonio to host the 2016 Olympic Swim Trials.  Exact dates are still being determined. That's likely a negotiation with NBC and potentially the NCAA. The 2016 Olympics in Rio will be held a week later than the 2012 Olympics in London, so there's less opportunity for a conflict.  More than likely, it... read more...

The safeties for Nebraska were sure to get a lot of attention from fans at this year's spring game.  Not only do the Huskers have to replace two starters, but the safety position was repeatedly exposed in every loss last season.  Corey Cooper, a likely starter, is listed at 210 lbs. which is not unusual for a safety.  On Saturday, Cooper appeared bigger ... read more...

I've long been a critic of some of Dirk Chatelain's "analysis" work in the World-Herald, but his Sunday profile of Howell's Matthew Gooch shows that he's a talented writer. Something that I've long been guilty of forgetting at times. It's e... read more...

I've never completely understood the impatience by some fans to fire the coach of their favorite program. Sometimes it's a no-brainer, such as when Bill Callahan was fired after posting the only two losing seasons in the last fifty years at Nebraska. Sometimes it's inevitable, such as Doc Sadler who was simply spinning his wheels of the Nebraska basketball program.... read more...

Friday brought seemingly great news to Nebraska when it was announced that Alex Lewis, son of former Husker All-American center Bill Lewis, would be transferring from Colorado to Nebraska.  Now the word is he's been charged with second-degree assault, which is a felony.  ... read more...

Nebraska has taken the two Big Ten meetings against Penn State since the Huskers joined the conference and last year they reached the Big Ten championship game. This season the Huskers continue to look for answers on defense in an attempt to silence some of the criticism of the program's apparent shortcomings on a path back to true national prominence. What does the 2013... read more...

If we're going to spend a day talking about Corey Cooper's spring day, it seems only fair to give the same consideration to Nebraska's other likely starter at safety, Harvey Jackson.   Jackson had seven tackles in the spring game.  He might have truly had eight.  Instant replay, which was not in use for the spring game, might have taken away... read more...

If there's one position on the field where you want to better than your opponent, it's quarterback.  If you believe Athlon's ranking of Big Ten quarterbacks, then the Huskers should take the field with the better quarterback in every conference game this season.&nb... read more...

Braylon Heard is a 5’11” 185 lb. running back from Youngstown, Ohio. Coming out of high school, he was very highly recruited and wound up signing with the Nebraska Cornhuskers. After becoming unhappy with his lack of playing time, Heard decided he wanted a transfer, and Mark Stoops wanted him in Lexington. Stoops and Heard both share the same high school and hometown. Toda... read more...

Today is the anniversary of the plane crash that took former Nebraska quarterback Brook Berringer's life.  It came just two days before the NFL draft.  It was believed that Berringer would have been selected and perhaps found his way onto the field.  A review of the 1996 draft shows a fairly undistinguished group of quarterbacks, so he should have had op... read more...

NHL fans have to be the best professional fans in this country. Sure, fans of NFL and Major League Baseball teams outnumber them in quantity, but hockey fans outclass them all in terms of their passion.  That was proven tonight, where the Bruins took to the ice for the first professional sporting event in Boston since Monday's terrorist attack at the Boston Marathon.... read more...

Nebraska has had recruiting success in the state of Ohio under head coach Bo Pelini. The Huskers were back in the state of Ohio last week when this offensive lineman picked up an offer from Nebraska. read more...

After a day off to enjoy some great weather and a little Sunday Funday activities it's back to the countdown here at The B1G Time. For the 2nd straight time on our list we've got a first entrant for a team, this time from the Nebraska Cornhuskers.  However, we are sticking with the same position after we left you with a look at No. 17 Cody Latimer of the Indiana Hoo... read more...

The 2013 Big Ten Baseball Tournament starts this Wednesday at Target Field in Minneapolis, home of the Minnesota Twins. Indiana won the Big Ten regular season title, their first since 1949, and with that they earn the #1 se... read more...

When the topic of Nebraska sports comes up, the national perception isn't about volleyball, basketball, softball, tennis, gymnastics or bowling. That's a shame, because every one of those sports is played under the Big Red banner, all... read more...

The Nebraska Cornhuskers have provided more than a few unforgettable plays over the years.There have been long touchdowns that have brought the crowd to their feet, unthinkable mistakes that haunt the memory of even the most optimistic fans and one-of-a-kind plays that no one could have predicted.No matter whether the memory induces a cringe or a reminiscent g... read more...

It seems wholly implausible that the new schedules for the Big Ten occurred as a product of a chance and the matchups simply fell out as they did after some coin-flipping.  As surely as the deck was stacked against Nebraska in their initial two years in the league, the schedule makers appear to similarly wish to punish newcomers Rutgers and Maryland. ... read more...
