Happy New Year Bay Area Husker Fans! Hope this finds you enjoying the holidays! Its been a pretty eerie December in the Bay Area without any rain or even cold cloudy days. Don’t get me wrong…I love the sunny 60 degree days, but lets hope the rainy season shows up soon or we’ll all be rationing water next summer. As you are all probably aware, Carl Pelini, left for a head coaching position

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! Hard to believe yesterday was the 70th anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor on that fateful Sunday morning. If you know anyone who served in WWII, and especially anyone that survived the attack that brought the U.S. into the war, please take the time to thank them for their service. See the piece below from a local radio station which includes a unique link to the

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! The inaugural Husker/Hawkeye Heroes match was a great game (and not just because we won…although it helps), and the Huskers looked better than they have in several weeks. Now we get to wait until the bowl game shuffle gives us a clue as to where we’re going. Odds makers are betting on either the Capital One or the Outback Bowls, both played in Florida. Guess we’ll

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you and yours have a wonderful holiday, and you get a chance to enjoy leftovers during the “Corn Bowl” (its actually called the Heroes Trophy) on Friday. And watch out for that tryptophan laden turkey sandwich…you don’t want to miss the second half because you are napping ;o) I don’t even want to discuss last Saturday’s game…time to move

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! I’m busting at the seams with pride. Pride in our team, pride in our fans and pride in the values we Nebraskans hold so dear. Call it what you want…(an epiphany, soul searching, memorable, thought provoking etc), the pre-game prayer with both teams huddled and kneeling around Coach Brown was and exceptional moment in college football. Although the Huskers came up

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! Well, that was a real bummer of a game last Saturday. The team had lots of good stats, but not the one that counted. Summary is below for those that can stand the added pain ;o). Events at Penn State have unfortunately come at a bad time for our game this weekend. I’m sure you are all aware of the controversy…lets hope it doesn’t overshadow the game and the

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! Wow! Now THAT was a great game! The Huskers appear to have found their stride and confidence, and as a result they jumped back into the Top 10 spot in the BCS poll. But if you want to get a little insight into why you saw a team that had changed so dramatically, check out the link to the Ohio State post-game locker room speech by Coach Pelini below…awesome and

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! Lets hope the Huskers don’t get too complacent after what appeared to be an easy win at Minnesota. They are going to be playing a very charged up Michigan State team this weekend and they will have to be ready for a true Big 10 battle. According to all the reports (below) the coaches feel they are pretty psyched for the game so it should be a good one! Game time is

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! Sorry for the late delivery this week. It was nice to have a bye week, but now I’ve got more stuff to pass along and what seems like less time to gather it…better get with it! What a comeback! As the announcers said in the game, this was the largest deficit (21 points) comeback in Husker history! We only need one more win to become Bowl Eligible, so this week’

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans, Sorry about the late delivery…crazy week. How many ways can you say “OUCH”? That one really hurt and was painful to watch. Nuff said…on to the next challenge! The Huskers host the Ohio State Buckeyes in the first Big 10 conference game at Memorial Stadium. All kinds of pomp and circumstance for this one. Ceremonies, announcements, special tickets, homecoming…the works!

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! Well here we are….the first conference game for the Huskers in the Big Ten! And it looks like its gonna be a barn burner. The Badgers are ranked just ahead of us in the polls and the game will be the focus of ESPN’s Game Day coverage tomorrow morning http://espn.go.com/college-football/gameday Should be interesting to see which mascot head Corso will pick.

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! First of all let me apologize to anyone who has been added to our list in the last month. I’ve been struggling with a change to a new email server and have finally figured out how to transfer and send emails to the group’s email addresses on this new system. I had been sending previous emails from the old server which didn’t have any changes made since July. You will

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! A quick one this week. We were fortunate to be able to watch the Fresno State game live in Lincoln, but it was a nail biter til the Huskers got a little extra ‘motivation’ at half time and eventually took control of the game for the ‘W’. Halftime was very emotional as the Husker marching band was joined by hundreds of alums who joined in to play a series of tribute

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! Great watching the Husker’s season get off to a good start last Saturday…and this time on the Big Ten Network. Hopefully everyone found the right channels to watch on their cable/satellite provider. Although the Huskers seemed to have an easy time with Chattanooga, this week’s game against Fresno State could be a little tougher. If you got a chance to watch the

Happy New Year Bay Area Husker Fans! Best wishes for a healthy and happy New Year! And its going to be a very special year for the Huskers...moving from the Big 12 to the Big 10 will bring both joy and sorrow (maybe not as much sorrow after the step-child treatment we've received this fall), but I think we're all looking forward to the challenges and benefits of joining a top shelf academic and

Merry Christmas Bay Area Husker Fans! We're only a week away from the Holiday Bowl. The University is having a tough time selling their allotment of tickets for the game (see article below).

Happy Holidays Bay Area Husker Fans! Bummer...the Volleyball Team lost a squeaker to Washington last Friday and the team was eliminated from the NCAA Championship. But three of our players were selected by the AVCA as All-Americans, and still leads the nation with 70 All-Americans! Some good info below from the Alumni Association and the Foundation. There are also articles about the new Big 10

Happy Holidays Bay Area Husker Fans, Ouch...that one will hurt for a long time...or at least until we win the Big 10 crown next year ;o) I have to say that if we had to lose to someone, I guess I'm glad it was Oklahoma and not one of the other southern conference teams. Even though I believe we should have won, I can live with that. If you look at the thin margins for all of our losses this year

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! Isn't "Fate" an interesting thing...whodathunk that after all these years, that our last game in the Big 8/12 Conference would be another match up with our old rivals at Oklahoma. Its truly fitting that this is the way it worked out. It just wouldn't have felt right to play either A&M or OSU again. Hopefully the game will be more about the match-up between two old

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! Happy Thanksgiving! I don't want to spoil everyone's holiday too much by dwelling on the happenings last Saturday, but suffice it to say that I feel like Turkey Day came a few days early for Nebraska, and the Huskers were the main course. Always hard to beat A&M at their "Home of the 12th Man", but its even harder when they have 5 extra folks on the field acting on

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! Not exactly the most exciting offensive game we've seen this year, but the defense was awesome and a win is a win. I was fortunate to be there in person...lots of fun but brrrrr, it was a cold night at Memorial Stadium! Glad the game wasn't played the night before because it was snowing in Lincoln most of Friday evening. Glad to be back in sunny California but it looks

Hey Bay Area Husker Fans! A number of fans told me after the ISU game, "Yikes...that was a nailbiter". Due to the Huskers departure from the conference next year, it appears most of our Big 12 rivals have an extra motivation to try and beat the Huskers this fall. Virtually every game we've been able to watch this fall (especially the away games) had a number of opposing fans wearing special "

Now we just have to make sure the rest of the North Division opponents don't try a sneak attack on us, and we should be set for the Big 12 Championship game on December 4th. The game tomorrow is another regional ABC broadcast, so check the details below in the watch party section. The Volleyball team is back

Happy Halloween Bay Area Husker Fans! Sorry to get this out so late...hope you get it before the game tomorrow. Last Saturday's game was an offensive slug-fest for the Huskers and Cowboys with 92 points scored by both teams. Fortunately the Huskers came out on top. This Saturday's battle against the Mizzou Tigers is probably for all the Big 12 North Division marbles, with the winner eventually
