After the first month of UNO's hockey season, I figured I was going to be writing a post with this title about this time. I don't believe anything is gained by firing a coach during the season, so I was just watching the season play out.  (Did firing Scott Frost make Nebraska football better in 2022?  I don't believe you can say that with a 4-8 final record.)  UNO opened the season by getting swept by Niagara, a school that went 11-22 the previous season, then split with Alaska-Fairbanks and Lake Superior State. A bad start against bad competition. So no need to jump on the ba ..read more

As sports resumed amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, I've reminded myself of the reality that even though the games are being played, the circumstances are so different that you shouldn't really care about the results. Enjoy the games we get, hope the players develop in spite of the virus and don't take away much from what happens. So many things happened different out of necessity that hopefully won't be the case in future seasons. In many respects, it was merely an exhibition season with trophies awarded.  The games will count in the record book, but the results on paper won't show the gam ..read more

It was a great night for some legacy Huskers as Joe Burrow and his LSU Tigers finished an impressive 15-0 season by demolishing Clemson in the National Championship football game. And, once again, the second guessing of Nebraska's pursuit of Burrow reached frantic levels. You think Joe Burrow would have ever had any interest in playing for Nebraska?— Kevin Kugler (@kevinkugler) January 14, 2020 It would have been a great story; the four-star son and brother of former players leading Nebraska to greatness. But would it have been the same greatness that we saw in New Orleans? Probably not. B ..read more

It's been a tough season for UNO Hockey's players and fans.  The Mavs started the season slowly, to put it most positively. Frankly, they didn't even look competitive much of the time. The Mavs looked unconditioned and weren't ready to play. As the season went on, playing games seemed to force them into shape and they did play better...but playing against the best teams in college hockey, it didn't really help.  Since New Years, UNO finished the second half of the season with a 3-14-1 record for UNO's second worst season in program history. The worst season?  The 2003-04 season where UNO only ..read more
