An open letter to Colorado. It's fitting that I am writing this on the 22nd Anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on America, the day that hatred manifested itself openly on American soil. I am writing about a now-past football game and the comments made by the showboat coach of the University of Colorado and his son the star quarterback who said to more than one media outlet "We don't like Nebraska." That comment is somewhat toned down from Saturday evening reports that he uttered that he "hated" Neb...
The forest green roof and pair of bronze stags frozen in combat are impossible to miss as you drive down Interstate 80. So are the two corporate buildings – 550,000 square feet of nearly empty office space, long offered for a $1 a year lease. The water tower looms overhead, painted in the same green, heralding what once was: "Cabela's World Headquarters, City of Sidney." For 54 years, Cabela's made its home here, a juggernaut that kept the town humming. But in 2017, the sporting goods store s...
My turn to weigh on the new Husker hire. I’m no football guru, but I’ve been around the program long enough and have plenty of connections with former players (and we talk football a lot), so I feel I have a solid understanding of what it means to be all “N” and lead one of the most storied brands in college football. Initially, Saturday morning, as the news broke that Matt Rhule would be taking over the program, I wasn’t happy. I felt a sense of betrayal because deep down, I hoped interim c...
When one thing goes awry, everything goes awry. At least that’s how it feels today. It’s seven-something Monday evening and technology does not want to cooperate. Excuse me, it’s almost deadline day. Work with me. I cannot accurately describe what I would like to do to this old and worn out MacBook, but patting the computer next to the keypad and coaxing her (yes, my laptop is a her ... and appropriately named Cordelia) is a huge fail. Actually, it’s showing me just how temperamental she has bec...
The University of Nebraska- Lincoln announced Wednesday morning that former Husker All-American Trev Alberts will be its next athletic director. Alberts returns to the Huskers after serving as the athletic director for the University of Nebraska-Omaha since 2009. During his tenure, he helped transition UNO to Division I athletics, cutting the football and wrestling program in the process. Alberts replaces Bill Moos as athletic director after his abrupt retirement last month. Alberts played football at Nebraska from 1990 to 1993. In his senior...
NATHAN HAWKINS UNLimited Sports/ Nebraska News Service Bill Moos' time as Nebraska's athletic director is over. The University of Nebraska announced Friday morning that Moos will retire from the position, effective June 30. Moos was hired in October 2017 and his contract ran through the end of 2022. The announcement is sudden, as Moos had told the Omaha World-Herald in February that he planned to fulfill the entirety of his contract. Moos was at the helm of a major overhaul of Nebraska...
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln conferred 3,478 degrees during a virtual graduation celebration, May 9. Go Big Grad: A Husker Graduation Celebration featured a dream big address from John Cook, head coach of the Nebraska volleyball team, and appearances by special guests, including Husker football coach Scott Frost. Area graduates include Whitney R. Rittscher, Elgin, College of Arts and Sciences, Bachelor of Arts degree, with distinction and Audrey Wilhelm, College of Arts and Sciences,...
I predicted how the latest episode would play out; I didn't know exactly when. Once the prodigal son decided to return home and resurrect a football program clinging to life support, I told Scott - my Scott, not the Frosty version - fans would flip out and sport their badges of negativity proudly, if he didn't win immediately and turn the program around in two years. And, without missing a beat, the bandwagon chanting "Fire Frost," sung by armchair quarterbacks and hidden social media trolls,...
