It's November 8th B1G basketball fans! Huzzah, if you're reading this it means that we actually made it through the strangest, ugliest and most low brow election cycle in the history of our glorious democracy.

#20 Nebraska Football Game Preview vs Northwestern Wildcats

By

This summer, Nebraska football was definitely at a crossroads; worthy of a Hollywood drama. As I wrote in my B1G preseason predictions and preview for RedEye: The Huskers have the talent to win the division, but they need to watch Al Pacino's "Any Given Sunday" speech: "Either we heal, as a team, or we’re going to crumble, inch by inch, play by play, 'til we’re finished." … [Read more...] about #20 Nebraska Football Game Preview vs Northwestern Wildcats

2016 NFL mock draft 12-8-15

By

This 2016 NFL mock draft order is loosely based off the order derived at SB Nation. They took current record plus strength of schedule into account. We then made a few changes based on how current injuries could impact the team and their final season record. Team needs were sometimes, but not always taken into account.
