The Time Eric Crouch Asked His Lineman To Spit In His Mouth
A reader alerted us to this story, which was written by former Nebraska quarterback and Heisman winner Eric Crouch for HuddlePass.com, a website featuring various first-person accounts from former college football stars about their playing days. Crouch's story is a pretty standard one about Week 1 j...
Brazilian Soccer Player Injures Self Celebrating First-Ever Pro Goal

The 10 Films I'm Most Excited To See At The Cannes Film Festival
The Cannes Film Festival, which kicks off on Wednesday, is the year's premier film festival, the launching pad in recent years for celebrated movies like The Tree of Life, No Country for Old Men, The Artist, Amour, Holy Motors and Inglourious Basterds. It's funny that Cannes takes place just as summ...
Huskers Nation Flips Its Shit After Someone Thumbs-Downs Cute Video
In the Nebraska spring game, Red inserted an undersized but plucky tailback by the name of Jack Hoffman for a crucial fourth-down carry. It's worth mentioning that Jack is 7 years old and has suffered from brain cancer, and because the good folks at Nebraska realize what a bullshit deal it is to be ...
Nebraska Stormed The Court After Beating Unranked Minnesota
It's been a "meh" season for the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Tubby Smith's squad jumped out to a fantastic 12-1 out-of-conference record only to shit the bed in B1G matchups against teams like Northwestern and Iowa....
Struggling Wisconsin Player Resorts To Jumpshot Free Throws
There was a time when Wisconsin guard/forward Ryan Evans wasn't the sort of shooter who'd have trouble standing on a dock and tossing a ball into Lake Mendota. He shot 73 percent from the line last year, 81 percent in conference play. But the yips overtook him this season, and going into last nigh...
Jim Harbaugh Wanted A Holding Call On The 49ers' Last Play, And He May Have Had A Point
Here's Jim Harbaugh's response to the 49ers' failed fourth-down play in the end zone, and for once, it's tough to really say he's overreacting. Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith probably held Michael Crabtree in the middle of his route, and when Crabtree laid out for the catch, he couldn't quite reach ...
Potential Nebraska Transfer Pulled Over By State Trooper, Let Off With 15-Minute Talking-To About How Great The Huskers Are
Pat Smith has spent three seasons kicking for Western Illinois, but he's been weighing a transfer for his senior year. Last weekend he drove to Nebraska to visit campus, but as he tells the Quincy Herald-Whig, he was pulled over by a state trooper soon after crossing the border....
Justin Tucker's Practice Kicks Before His Game-Winner Were Not Allowed, But They Were Also Not Not Allowed
Before Justin Tucker made the field goal that ended the the fifth longest game in NFL history yesterday, he jogged onto the field between the two overtimes and had an assistant coach hold the ball for him while he practiced his kicks. Champ Bailey was dismayed, as you can see in the video above, b...
New Browns Head Coach Rob Chudzinski May Have The Clevelandest Surname In The NFL
As strange as it was to see the Browns fire Pat Shurmur after a 5-11 season—after all, isn't that merely upholding The Browns Way?—it seemed even more peculiar for them to hire in his place a 44-year-old without a lick of NFL head-coaching experience....
The Nebraska Sideline Reaction To A Missed Georgia Field Goal Was Ridiculous
Today's Capital One Bowl (one of only a handful of bowls that are still on broadcast television) has been an exciting barnburner, tied at 31 as of this writing and featuring loads of offensive action. It was a failure to score points, though, that might be the most memorable moment of the game. He...
Tennis Ref Accused Of Killing Husband With A Coffee Mug Did Not Kill Husband With A Coffee Mug Or Anything Else
This summer we told you the odd tale of Lois Goodman, a 70-year old tennis official that had been on her way to officiate a day of matches at the U.S. Open when police re-routed her to jail, arrested on suspicion of bludgeoning her husband to death with a coffee mug. Today, Goodman is a free woman,...
The Bulls-Knicks Game Went To Complete Shit Last Night, And Produced This Beautiful GIF Of A Dismayed Spike Lee
When you're not particularly used to losing, any downturn in your fortunes seems like it must be the result of some malevolent scheme from outsiders that bear you ill will. Such was the case for the Knicks last night when they fell down big in an ugly game against the Bulls and decided they didn't ...
Nebraska's Kenny Bell Delivered The Best Legal Block In College Football This Season, So Of Course He Was Flagged For It
Last night's Big Ten championship game victory for Wisconsin was a blowout snoozer, complete with malfunctioning t-shirt cannon and with a final score of 70-31. Nebraska did have one highlight play, and they should have had two—this legal, fair block by receiver Kenny Bell ended up being flagged a...
Nebraska Quarterback Taylor Martinez Engineered One Of The Most Outstanding Plays This College Football Season
This year's Big Ten championship game is lacking some shine, what with the best team in the conference going undefeated but being ineligible and another, Penn State, being out of the running for the next several years. But that doesn't mean it's not worth watching, as Nebraska angles to seize its ...
To Buy Out Failed Coach, Southern Miss Sold Home-Field Advantage Back To Nebraska for $2.1 Million
What's the market price for an easy home win in college football? The Southern Miss Golden Eagles have made a deal to move next season's opener—a long-anticipated matchup against Nebraska in Hattiesburg—to Nebraska instead. In a letter between the schools' athletic directors dated last week, which w...
Beer Of The Week: Cerveza Cucapa's Chupacabras Pale Ale
The weather is dimming, the days shrinking, and the bottle of Mexican-made English-style pale ale starts looking more seductive. It's called Chupacabras, by a craft brewer in Baja California called Cerveza Cucapa. (Twitter bio: "The only Mexican Beer that Doesn't need a lime to taste better, The Bes...

USC's Marqise Lee Has Shattered The PAC-12 Single-Game Receiving Record [UPDATE]
There have been some great quarterbacks, great receivers and great passing offenses in the history of the Pac-12. Until today, no one had racked up more single-game receiving yards than Oregon State's Mike Hass, who careened for 293 on 12 catches against Boise State in 2004....
Al Capone Once Got A Motorcade Escort Into The Northwestern-Nebraska Game
Today Nebraska and Northwestern play their sixth game in a rivalry that began in 1902. As the Huskers are a recent refugee to the Big Ten, this will be the first trip for Nebraska to Evanston since October 1931. Among the spectators in that game, according to this delightful clipping the Northwester...
