Corn Nation's Husker CornCast

You thought Homecoming was last week, didn't ya? Well...think again...because coach Bo Pelini is headed home to Columbus for the first time since he played football at Ohio State in the late 1980s. Hosts Jake Sorensen and Will Grubb are joined by Luke Zimmermann of Land-Grant Holy Land, Ohio St.'s SB Nation affiliate to talk Buckeyes.  Can Nebraska gameplan and stop stud sophomore QB Braxton Miller? Will Husker QB Taylor Martinez outshine Miller on the road?  How effective will the Huskers' running backs be against a solid Ohio St. defense?  And just how much of a difference is it for players with Urban Meyer at head coach? Will, Jake and Luke talk that all and more, plus gives us a prediction on the game. If you have a comment for us, feel free to shoot us an email at huskercorncast@gmail.com! Also, we will be traveling to the game on Saturday, so be sure to look for our postgame video recap from the Horseshoe

Husker CornCast: Will Revenge be Bittersweet for the Huskers? (Wisconsin preview)

Another week of Husker football brings an FCS foe to Lincoln, this week in the form of the air show that is the Idaho State Bengals, out of Pocatello, Idaho.  Hosts Jake Sorensen and Will Grubb are joined by Bengals' head coach Mike Kramer as he helps to preview his team and give insight on what to expect on Saturday.  Will the Bengals be able to sustain their high-pass attack? Can Kevin Yost maintain his composure against the Blackshirts Defense?  What can we expect defensively from Idaho State?  Is Bo Pelini going to be OK health-wise for the rest of the season? All that and more, plus game predictions and key player picks. As always, shoot us an email at huskercorncast@gmail.com if you ever want to rant about a topic, or just give us feedback on something you like/don't like, or even a suggestion of what to cover next week and down the road. One more reminder: In case you missed it last week, we are doing a video podcast immediately after the game that can be found on this site!  Last week had much more user interaction that we expected...keep it coming! Thanks

Well how about THAT for a first game, Husker fans! Taylor Martinez's career high 354 yards passing came with 5 TD passes and best of all: no turnovers for the offense! But can it continue this week against a team equally as impressive as Nebraska in Week 1? Hosts Jake Sorensen and Will Grubb are joined by Ryan Rosenblatt of Bruins Nation, UCLA's SBNation affiliate, to preview Saturday's game. Will freshman QB Brett Hundley be able to continue his success from the first game on the ground and through the air? Can Nebraska's D-line and linebackers contain UCLA speedster running back James Franklin? How will the Huskers make it without Rex Burkhead? Tune in for Ryan's responses, plus, Will and Jake can't possibly be picking an upset in this game, can they? As always, if you want to rant about the game or call in and talk to us, send us an email at huskercorncast@gmail.com or call us on our 24/7 phone line (571) 306-CORN. Enjoy the game!

We're back! Hosts Jake Sorensen and Will Grubb are back for another season of Husker CornCast, and they are joined by FanCred.com's Landon Howell to preview Southern Miss.  Remember that 2004 game, Husker fans? Yeah, we do too...and Landon does his best to let us know how things have changed since then.  Who will replace star QB Anthony Davis for the Golden Eagles?  Can Ellis Johnson duplicate former coach Larry Fedora's success?  Plus, Landon gives a game prediction you won't want to miss. Don't worry Husker fans....we have you covered, too.  Will and Jake give their season preview of what to expect for the Huskers, and who will be the breakout players?  Can the defense find replacements for Lavonte David, Jared Crick and Alfonzo Dennard? Will and Jake have differing opinions.  Plus, full game predictions and player of the game picks, too.

It's that time of the year, Husker fans.  Spring Football has arrived, and on Saturday, Memorial Stadium will be filled with the 'Sea of Red' once again in support of the annual  'glorified scrimmage.' Hosts Jake Sorensen and Will Grubb debate who will be this year's breakout star in the Spring Game.  They also duke it out over whether Ameer Abdullah or Aaron Green will become the main back-up to 'Superman' Rex Burkhead.  They also talk about what newcomers to watch out for, and the age-old question on what to expect out of Taylor Martinez and Brion Carnes.  What will be the magic remedy for the defense? Can Mohammed Seisay make the loss of Alfonzo Dennard less painful?  Jake and Will cover all this and more. Look for a post-game reaction CornCast on Saturday night following the Spring Game.

Say goodbye to Doc Sadler, and hello to Tim Miles.  Who, you say? Hosts Jake Sorensen and Will Grubb talk about new Nebraska basketball coach Tim Miles, and what obstacles he has with the program.  They talk about high-profile assistant coach and Chicago recruiter Ronald Coleman, who will be joining Miles' staff, and the influence he could have on getting players to Lincoln.  They also establish a timeline for Miles to build his 5th basketball program. Can Miles make the Huskers respectable? Does he have what it takes to win in the B1G?  All that and more. If you have a thought about the hiring or anything else Huskers, give us a ring at our 24/7 fan line at (571) 306-CORN, or email us at huskercorncast@gmail.com

Hosts Will Grubb and Jake Sorensen recap the Huskers' 2012 football signing class, going in-depth one by one to fill you in on the things you need to know about each player and how Bo and the staff plans to develop them.  Which recruit has the chance to have the most impact right away? Is losing Andrus Peat to Stanford a big deal? Is this Bo's best recruiting class yet?  All those questions answered and more.

Host Jake Sorensen is joined by Brian Rosenthal, Husker basketball beat writer for the Lincoln Journal Star, and our very own Brian Speers, Corn Nation's basketball writer, to talk about Nebraska hoops and their season so far.  Is Doc Sadler gone after this year? Can Nebraska finish above .500 for the cumulative season?  Does Nebraska have a legitimate shot at making a run over the next few weeks in conference play? Is B1G basketball better than Big 12 basketball?  All those questions answered and more.  Both Brians have different opinions in areas, so tune in! As always, if you want to rant about the current state of Nebrasketball (or Husker football, I guess), don't be afraid to send us an email at huskercorncast@gmail.com or call our 24/7 fanline at (571) 306-CORN. 

It's bowl season! While some of you may take that as a bad thing, many of you (including us) enjoy the bowl season, as it allows us to see a bunch of mediocre teams play each other! (just kidding).   In this final episode of Husker CornCast of the year, hosts Jake Sorensen and Will Grubb break down the Nebraska-South Carolina Capitol One Bowl game, and determine if it will be a B1G victory or an SEC triumph.  They also select their Husker players of the year and newcomers of the year.  Finally, they dig into the BCS bowls and select those winners, too. We thank you all for listening this season! Remember, you can still contact us next semester as we dig into Nebrasketball Husker CornCasts! Reach us at (571) 306-CORN, or shoot us an email at huskercorncast@gmail.com .  Happy holidays, folks
