Huskers lose another heartbreaker

(espn.com, AP)

This one was tough. Real tough.

For any Husker fan, what happened on Saturday was a punch to the gut. Actually, it was more like an overhand punch to the chin, after a flurry of body shots

The last few years, Nebraska hasn't been able to win these games. For some reason

or or another, Nebraska can't get the victory against a ranked opponent. I'm beginning to think the Universe is trying to even itself out since our amazing run in the 90s. Or maybe we just have mediocre players? I'm not sure.

The good news is that this team still looked good. Things look bright for the Big 12 season.


Three UNO coaches reach career milestones

Over the last week, three head coaches at UNO celebrated victories with career milestones.

Football head coach Pat Behrns reached 150 wins on Sept. 12. Volleyball head coach Rose Shires got her 400th career win on Saturday. Soccer head coach Don Klosterman got his 175th win on Saturday as well.

Congratulations to these coaches for their long years of service to UNO athletics.
