Husker Mike's Blasphemy

It wasn't the prettiest victory in the world, but style points simply don't matter.  Second game in a row in Lincoln not allowing a touchdown; that's championship defense.  Yes, the offense is still inconsistent, but you do see some periodic signs of life.  Here are some positives:I think this wa...

Husker fans seem to have let up on the gas on the "Suh for Heisman" campaign, allowing Clemson's C.J...

Tom Shatel reported today that the Huskers are in talks to play Boise State, though perhaps not in 2011.  Boise State is searching for a BCS conference opponent to visit in 2011 on the condition that the game pay the Broncos $1 million for traveling, but haven't found a taker yet.In my mind, the ...

When New England lined up last night to go for fourth and two against Indianapolis, all I could think about was the Big XII Championship game in 1996.  The national sports media are all over Bill Belichick for his decision, and they have their reasons.  You fail to execute, and you practically g...

I caught a little bit of yesterday's Missouri/Kansas State game, and I'm not sure that Husker fans should take too much solace in Missouri's margin of victory over the Wildcats.  If it wasn't for Danario Alexander, that game would have been quite a bit different...and I don't think Nebraska has an ...

In what seems to be becoming a regular occurance, I got ripped by BlogPoll Administrator Brian Cook for voting for Oklahoma.  I'm sticking to my guns here; I still think Oklahoma is one of the better teams in the country.  Yes, I know the reason why nobody else is ranking Oklahoma:  4 losses.  But...

After last week's big victory over Oklahoma, I was somewhat fearful of a letdown against Kansas this week.  A big victory over Missouri a month ago led to two disappointing losses against Texas Tech and Iowa State.  And letdown the defense did after an outstanding first quarter where the Jayhawks w...

A whole lot of shakeups this weekend require an awful lot of use of "smell testing" to ask the question, who just had a bad week and who was over/underrated.  Sometimes I wanted to move teams down more...but then struggled to find someone that I thought was better.  As always, your feedback is w...

What a night in Lincoln, what a game by the Blackshirts, and what a game by Matt O'Hanlon!Husker Mike's PostGame Oklahoma Podcast

If you love defense, you had to love tonight's Nebraska-Oklahoma game.  Some might point to the 10-3 final and announce boring, mediocre, or just plain bad.  But from the south end zone perspective, it was one hell of a night of football as two great defenses took the field tonight.Matt O'Hanlon t...

Many Husker fans are surprised by the line setting up with Oklahoma being a six point favorite over the Huskers...
