Husker fans have not only over taken Oklahoma City’s hotels, bars and restaurants, they also just overtook St. Joseph’s Old Cathedral for 4 pm mass. The priest couldn’t believe how much red was there. The church sat 700 people and was 85 percent Husker fans.
@HuskerTapes was just having this discussion about late night Husker games. We came up with ‘83 Hawaii kicked at 11:30 LNK time, NU-KSU Tokyo at 10 in the states and the odd 9:40 at Fresno State. Thought you might know of any we missed.
Sam Hoiberg continues to emerge as one of the top Glue Guys in the Big Ten.
And Nebraska continues to look the part of a potential NCAA Tournament team.
Huskers win a classic over Kansas State in KC.
Nebraska turns a 16-point deficit into a tremendous come from behind win over Oklahoma in Sioux Falls. Huskers go 15-27 from 3. A bubble team once again?
Nebraska's Rienk Mast tallied a triple-double --- 18, 12, and 10 assists --- in the Huskers' win today over FIU.
The return of Mast --- who missed last season due to injury --- greatly enhances the chances of Fred Hoiberg's squad playing its way onto the bubble in 2026.
@jdp1073@CBYTrackFlack@FonnerRacing No turf courses in Nebraska. Fonner is a 5/8 mile track, Legacy Downs in Lincoln has a brand new track (7/8 mile) as does Harrah’s Columbus (first mile track in Nebraska since Aksarben). Racing is hopefully making a resurgence!
The new casino @FonnerRacing is well done. Machines, table games, craps, poker room, sports book and horse gambling. Track, casino and new hotel all connected. And they get a healthy crowd for live racing. Intriguing isn’t it?
@jdp1073@CBYTrackFlack@FonnerRacing Fonner has been getting 9 and 10 horse fields this spring. Some horses move on to PRM and CBY when they open. Nebraska has a continuous circuit this year (Fonner, Legacy Downs Lincoln, Harrahs’s Columbus, Omaha) and has been getting bigger Nebaska bred only fields.
@SwiftHitter What about all the smaller tracks around the country? Some have nice meets. Possibly some rise up a few notches? Nebraska opened a new track and a new one is being built in Wyoming.
@EJXD2@TwinSpires Great story about AkSarBen! Do you think Nebraska racing can make a resurgence? New tracks in Columbus and Lincoln…get the Nebraska circuit back? 🤞🏻
Of the top 10 tracks by total handle, 9 were down on an average handle/race basis with only @HSIndyRacing bucking that trend. @mtrgaming & @CanterburyPark both had good weeks.
@DailyRacingForm@DRFHegarty Harrah’s Columbus is running 15 days this year (over 5 weekends). It was not built on the site of the former fairgrounds but rather on a new site on the northwest side of Columbus.
