Nebraska's Spring Game will be televised live by BTN at 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 6th.

Tommie Frazier is on the ballot again for the College Football Hall of Fame. Is this the year, or will the National Football Foundation come up with yet another excuse to leave him out.

Cable & satellite providers are now passing the buck directly to customers by adding a monthly sports surcharge to the bill to pay for these escalating prices.

With attendance likely to top 90,000 this fall for each game, is this upper limits of the market?

Let's assume that the Big Ten is looking to expand beyond 14. What's the target?

Brett Maher heads to the NFL while Ameer Abdullah will likely focus on I-back. So can Nebraska's dismal special teams actually improve in 2013?

Look at that 500 mile radius around Lincoln, and compare it to what other schools can target within 500 miles of their campus, it's obvious that the 500 mile radius is actually a bigger disadvantage for Nebraska football.

Chatelain provides a lot of data, but fails to answer whether Nebraska is missing out regionally, or if the region is failing to produce as many college football players.

Shawn Eichorst says the Nebraska athletic department won't be starting a division 1 ice hockey program. That announcement has no real effect on the Husker Hockey team, though. Yes, that's right. Husker Hockey is very much real.

Some think that adding more conference games will improve football schedules. The financial realities indicate otherwise. If anything, it might mean even worse schedules.

So the question is - is there a first-team All Big Ten player coming up the ranks?

You can get yourself and the school you love in a lot of trouble.

Recruiting is very important for college football. But coverage of recruiting has transformed family decisions on where to go to college into a sideshow.

The rules of the game changed dramatically for Bo Pelini when Nebraska jumped to the Big Ten and needed at least one more linebacker on the field at all times, as opposed to in the spread-happy Big XII.

Can Nebraka be better on the defensive line next season? Maybe, but that's far from a given. Considering the loss in experience, it's also very possible that Nebraska could be even worse.

Spring game tickets go on sale on Wednesday, February 6th. Nebraska is now taking applications for the new seats that are opening up thanks to the East Stadium expansion project that opens this fall.

The pipeline is pretty solid in run blocking, but there are still a few too many kinks in pass protection.

Kyler Reed and Ben Cotton were bigger parts of the Nebraska offense while Shawn Watson was the offensive coordinator than once Tim Beck Took over. So how much will Nebraska really miss Reed and Cotton in 2013?

What's exciting with Beck's offense is what he can do with three, four and even five wide receiver sets considering this talent. If such a thing is possible, you could say that there's almost too much talent at this position.

Superman has left Memorial Stadium, but with three returners plus two highly touted verbal commitments, Nebraska appears to be absolutely loaded at I-back.

Nebraska is now taking deposits for tickets as the Huskers move to the larger Devaney Sports Center.

With an all-Big Ten quarterback returning in Taylor Martinez, this is pretty straightforward, you would think. The big question is who'll back up Martinez, and how much action the backups will receive.

David Ubben thinks Nebraska regrets moving to the Big Ten. I think he's dead wrong.

Certainly there are enough reasons to criticize Bo Pelini for the 2012 season. Comparing 2012 to 2007 is excessive hyperbole.

Tim Beck gets a big boost, as does John Garrison.

Yeah, we have a few other candidates.

Are you still watching? If so, why?

Hutchison CC defensive tackle Ben Bradley spent a whirlwind weekend visiting Auburn and Kentucky the last few days, and planned to announce this morning where he was going to transfer for the...

Pelini says he's "really, really excited" about the players that redshirted this season. Is Pelini blowing sunshine, or is there a reason to be optimistic about the youngsters in the program?

Nebraska didn't get blown out as some feared, so some will proclaim that as a moral victory. That's one way of looking at it. Nebraska gave a good effort, but the bottom line is that Nebraska didn't play well enough to win.
