Good morning and welcome to our first 11am kickoff of 2025 after two straight night games. The heat is here and the uniforms are red and this should be mercifully – okay, maybe not that mercifully – over without roasting in the worst of the heat for all 3 1/2 or 4 hours of the game.
So let’s get this trolley rolling, then we can sneak home, grab a quick nap, and oil up for the Bud Crawford fight!
Onward…
- Javin Wright, Malcom Hartzog Jr. and Grant Brix are all listed as questionable. When we know, we’ll know.

- Here are the results from this week’s survey questions. We asked you to rank from 1 to 4 (#1 being the best – just like college football) the importance of the Huskers scoring explosion, and then which backup running back impressed the most after all three got long looks.


- Here’s a few Huskers players/Terence Crawford fans pre-game.
- I’m sensing a theme – and, yes, the Crawford fight was a motivational focal point of this week’s preparations.
- If you think I’m good with dropping shade on Colorado, you are correct. The Buffs fall to 1-2 and Deion is trying to scramble and say the attention means he’s really winning. Oh, Deion.
- Look at Luke Mullin, a genuinely good dude, with this tweet and what I’m pretty sure is an evil glint in his eye. 😈 Hey, they’ve white unis – fair trade.
- Well, as I tweeted, the guys are looking might dapper in all scarlet:

- Here’s a “We haven’t done ‘X’ in “‘ X number of years’” moment to look for post-game:
- And finally – let’s do this. The lunchtime blowout. The late night upset. 3-0 with Michigan on deck. And the first ever 3- weight-class unified champ in the 4-belt era.
GO BIG RED!
