ME: two of my most hated enemies are going to drag each other down YOU: right, the Trump-Musk thing ME: the what

I picked quite the afternoon to log off and turn my phone on Do Not Disturb. My goodness.

One of the longest interview transcripts of my career? Done. Now... to write. It'll be worth the read, I promise.

NEW | “Reseating is the most contentious thing that happens.” The Devaney Center will be reseated ahead of the 2026 season. Why? There are three big factors playing into it. What Troy Dannen had to say: journalstar.com/sports/huske...

NEW | While in Knoxville, Tenn., I caught up with Nebraska AD Troy Dannen for a 2+ hour conversation. The transcript of that interview? 11,470 words. To save y'all's sanity, and mine, we're breaking it up into multiple stories that will publish over the next few weeks.

INBOX | Nebraska's Jordy Bahl is the national player of the year, as voted on by the NFCA. She's Nebraska's first-ever NFCA Player of the Year.

ICYMI | Nebraska softball fell inches short of advancing to the program's first WCWS in over a decade. But that doesn't mean this season was a failure. Far from it, actually. My column on Nebraska's record-breaking season: journalstar.com/sports/huske...

The amount of times I’ve seen/heard “Happy Memorial Day” today is driving me nuts. Memorial Day is not a happy holiday.

NEW | “Let it burn as bad as it can.” Nebraska was painfully close to advancing to the Women’s College World Series, but lost a 1-0 nail biter. But they didn’t retreat after the final out. They intentionally watched Tennessee party. Gamer: journalstar.com/sports/huske...
