World Series is Over… Already? Thursday, October 30, 2008

Some things don’t make sense to me. The Boys of Summer play their most important baseball in the cool of fall, while the hockey guys skate for the Cup on summer’s eve. Baseball should be wrapped up by the beginning of October. There is no reason to have it end [...]

Rivalry Revived? Wednesday, October 29, 2008

It’s official:  Nebraska-Oklahoma has turned into a lovefest.  Hard to believe it was only four years ago that Nebraska’s coach used an expletive in referencing Oklahoma’s fans.  Now, Bob Stoops is crediting Tom Osborne for some of his success, the two head coaches ware waxing poetic about growing up together, and the two programs are [...]

Oklahoma Week Tuesday, October 28, 2008

It’s a special week in college football. Sure, Nebraska-Oklahoma may not have the luster it once had. Meeting only twice every four years will do that. The rivalry was built on mutual respect. Now it may turn somewhat friendly… at least away from the field. This Saturday, Bo Pelini and Bob Stoops meet up for [...]

Open Mike Monday Monday, October 27, 2008

After much critical acclaim (read: one person chuckled) our sports intern Mike is back for another “Open Mike Monday.” 
————————————- 
I’d like to thank everyone for the kind responses on our inaugural run of Open Mike Monday.  It’s really more than one intern can expect.  I can only hope I didn’t set the bar too high for [...]

Huskers and Sooners on the Mothership Sunday, October 26, 2008

Nebraska and Oklahoma will kick-off Saturday night at 7pm. After Texas Tech defeated Kansas, and Texas defeated Oklahoma State, it was a no-brainer that ESPN Gameday would pay a visit to Lubbock this week. And, in the lovely world of cross-promotion, ABC will carry that game Saturday night.
While we at KETV are bummed [...]

Bearly Saturday, October 25, 2008

With a Big 12 road win in their back pocket, and Oklahoma on the horizon, the Huskers seemed vulnerable to a Bear attack. Fortunately, Nebraska’s hunting season opened on Saturday. Not bear season… in fact, there is no bear season. But you get where I’m going with this.
Nebraska rallied past the Bears [...]

This is your place to react to the Nebraska-Baylor game.  Just click on “responses” above, and submit your comments.  The best comments will be used in the Big Red Zone.  Possibly as soon as Saturday night!
Fire away.  I will post my comments later Saturday night.  Keep checking back to join in the discussion.

Keep the Streak Alive Friday, October 24, 2008

The pressure is on this weekend.
A glorious streak is on the line.
In Bill Callahan’s four years as head coach at Nebraska, he never lost to Baylor. A perfect 2-0. Nebraska has won eight straight against the Bears. It’s a streak that speaks to the tradition of the program. Bo Pelini would [...]

A Return to Normalcy Tuesday, October 21, 2008

Okay, “Open Mike Monday” went off with a bang. But our intern received too much positive feedback for me to feel good about my job security. So let’s move on.
Husker News Conference

It was definitely an interesting Tuesday in Lincoln. Usually the media overlooks “Baylor Week.” It still does. Much of [...]

Open Mike Monday Monday, October 20, 2008

Believe it or not, we have interns at KETV. Yes, I know what you’re thinking: who would want to work anywhere for free? Well, let me tell you: KETV is a special place.
Our sports intern this fall is Mike. He’s a dedicated (read: lost) soul, who has definitely lightened our [...]
