Mount Rushmore of Nebraska’s Legendary Blackshirts
Nebraska football fans and pundits teamed up via the Common Fans podcast to craft the ultimate Mount Rushmore of Blackshirts. Ndamukong Suh locks down one spot after a mind-boggling 2009 campaign highlighted by seven tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks in a single game. Grant Wistrom follows with three national titles, a Lombardi Award, and his relentless motor defining the Osborne era. Rich Glover, the ’70s defensive pioneer, boasts Outland and Lombardi trophies and a Heisman Heisman-voter top-three finish. The final corner goes to modern star Lavonte David, whose game-changing plays and leadership sealed the quartet.
Nebraska fans can now sleep at night knowing they’ve honored every defensive trench warrior from the golden age of leather helmets to today’s padded gladiators—unless you disagree with the pick and prefer Jerry Murtaugh or Wayne Meylan, in which case you can start your own podcast. Fortunately, there’s no such thing as too many hot takes when evaluating guys who spent their careers chasing quarterbacks and hitting each other like malfunctioning pinball machines. Tune in, settle the debate, and then immediately overturn it when that next all-star linebacker emerges.
Nebraska’s Fantasy Football Matchups: Dare to Dream
With College Football Playoff expansion on the horizon, Nebraska could swap easy wins for headline-grabbing non-conference slugfests. The Huskers’ current 2026 slate reads like a Mid-American Conference sampler—Ohio, Bowling Green, North Dakota—while 2025 and 2027 feature similarly safe picks. Instead, imagine annual classics against Oklahoma, Colorado, Notre Dame or SEC foes, delivering prime-time drama and giving fans more than another tailgate-friendly blowout. It’s a call for Power 4 programs to risk a loss for national payoff.
Yes, dear alumni, we can’t all have that warm fuzzy feeling of a 59-7 dethroning of Houston Christian while sipping craft brews on the quad. Instead, picture us chasing Sooners under the stadium lights, only to crawl off the field with dignity intact—or star in the next ESPN “Miracle Game” montage. Who doesn’t crave the thrill of risking bragging rights in exchange for national street cred? But keep your barbecue grills on standby just in case reality bites harder than a goal-line stand.
Nebraska Softball Star Announces Baby Liberty to Debut
Former Cornhuskers two-way phenom and current assistant Jordy Frahm revealed she and husband Trey are expecting a baby girl named Liberty, due this December. Frahm announced the news with a patriotic onesie post over the July 4 weekend, celebrating “250 years of America with little baby Liberty on the way.” Remarkably, she competed through much of the 2026 season three months pregnant, earning NFCA Player of the Year honors, a Gold Glove, and four-time All-American status before opting out of pro softball to focus on motherhood.
Nothing says “dedication” like pitching a no-hitter while growing a tiny human—talk about multitasking. Frahm’s baby reveal instantly topped every dugout agenda: will Liberty’s first pitch be a change-up or fastball? Will she slump at the plate, blaming it on her cramped in utero training facility? Regardless, free stickers, tots-size Blackshirts, and miniature cleats await. The real question: can this kid out-homer her mom before kindergarten? Bullying the basketball team’s future phenoms, no doubt.
