Nebraska Will Not Fire Bo Pelini For Saying "Fuck" A Lot
That settles that: Bo Pelini's not going anywhere. Nebraska officials issued a statement today that said the school is "prepared to put the matter to rest." The school also acknowledged that then-AD Tom Osborne "became aware of these comments and the existence of a recording more than a year ago, an...

The Petty, Thin-Skinned Bravado Of Bo Pelini: 125 FBS Teams, Ranked
Each week during college football season we put the conventional polls to shame by ranking every FBS team from 1-125, by whatever standard we see fit. Last week's rankings were not consulted. ...
How We Acquired That Bo Pelini Audio Recording
That audio of Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini venting and cursing (and cursing and cursing) about fans and some members of the media has existed for two years now. But it was made public yesterday because that's when we first learned of it. In fact, the source who gave us the recording reached out...
Bo Pelini On Nebraska Fans: "Fuck You, Fans. Fuck All Of You."
This is fun. Here we have an audiotape of Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini flipping his shit about both the media and the Cornhuskers' fans after a 2011 game. Why are we getting this now? Well, our tipster was particularly exercised by Nebraska's flameout against UCLA on Saturday, which has led to ...
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.

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.

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...
Potential Nebraska Transfer Pulled Over By State Trooper, Let Off With 15-Minute Talking-To About How Great The Huskers Are

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...
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 ...
