... otherwise you wouldn't chose to listen. “Tonic” was released in 1977, “Fine Art” in 1979. In 1977, Tom Osborne’s Cornhusker team lost two Big Eight teams, Iowa State 24-21 in Lincoln, and later to Oklahoma 38-7. It was Osborne’s fifth-straight loss to the Sooners and had people wondering if he was the right coach for the job. Osborne would entertain thoughts of taking the head...
AJ, the Husker Hater doesn't think Nebraska will win the Big 12 North this fall. I’m actually stunned that some of you simply brush off the fact that Tom Osborne destroyed your program (and yes..he did it by recommending Frank Solich and Steve Pederson…don't kid yourself) 10 years ago…and yet some of you still fight [...]
The walk-on program has returned under Tom Osborne.. er, Bo Pelini. Not that it ever really left under Bill Callahan, but you got the idea that it was around only as an amusement. Certainly it was de-emphasized - which means it was comparable to when you're a civil servant and they assign you off to some meaningless corner department somewhere. You're still getting paid and they didn't fire...
Bumped from the diaries... Something many fans (including this one) find frustrating is the importance of rankings in college football. The end of the season rankings have determined national championships in college football forever. In 1994, the shaky logic of those rankings (Tom Osborne's a good guy, so let's make sure he gets a championship) cost an undefeated Penn State team a national...
Tom Osborne is many things, but Jerry Jones? The eccentric owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jones, is filling his defense with players who have a troubled past. Jason Whitlock of Fox Sports and the Kansas City Star compares Jones to Osborne, who had a way of rehabbing a once lost soul. Right now, Jones is the Tom Osborne of professional football. [...]
GILLEYLEN TURNS IT ON Nebraska’s annual Red/White spring game developed into something of importance under the Bill Callahan staff. Tom Osborne and Bo Pelini did everything they could to keep the ball rolling in the right direction, while adding a few “Nebraska Ways” along the way. This developed a frenzy that has never been seen in [...]
I couldn't agree more with this assessment by the Virginia Partisans of state Sen. "Ayatollah" Ken Cuccinelli and his bid for attorney general: Tom Osborne, treasurer for the Virginia Partisans, a gay Democratic group, called Cuccinelli a " shrill enemy of LGBT rights" and said the senator would be " a horrendous attorney general." Osborne said Cuccinelli has opposed the gay community...
OMAHA, Neb. | If you came to the Cornhusker State expecting to see exciting, beautifully played basketball, you got exactly what you deserved: a reminder why football is all that matters in Tom Osborne’s stomping grounds.
Nice win over Charlotte last night in the NIT tourney, 66-48. Not many will notice as the Big Dance starts today, but it was a great game to watch. Doc Sadler has turned the Cornhuskers into something reminiscent of Tom Osborne's football teams. Play hard, play tough defense, wear the other team down and win the game at the end. Sadlers' philosophy should keep us in any game we play provided...
Great programs on hard times. - - - Technically, Nebraska is not so far removed from some degree of success since Tom Osborne retired ten years ago, having won two conference titles, played in eight bowl games and appeared in the Big 12 Championship game as recently as 2006. The last six years, though, since 2002, is easily the program's worst stretch since the start of the 1962 season, Bob...
New Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini’s contract is for five years and pays a base salary of $1.1 million annually. Pelini was hired Dec. 2, and worked out general terms of the contract with athletic director Tom Osborne several weeks ago. But it wasn't signed by all parties until this week.

Pelini was hired Dec. 2, and worked out general terms of the contract with athletic director Tom Osborne several weeks ago. But it wasn't signed by all parties until this week. The contract was made public Wednesday. Osborne said the contract includes built-in incentives for performance....
Tom Osborne is a judicious man. He thinks it might take a few years to get things back on track. Bo Pelini on the other hand is a hungry new head coach coming in with all guns blazin'. He wants to win and win BIG, now. Husker Mike, one of Huskerland's top critical thinkers on [...]
Tom Osborne was glued to his tube Monday night, as the man he just hired to lead the Huskers from the horrors of Pederhan did battle against Ohio State in prime time. “I watched the game really closely. Everybody probably cringed a little bit the first couple of series,” Osborne told KETV NewsWatch 7’s Matt [...]
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman removed the word “interim” from Tom Osborne’s title. TO has agreed to serve as Nebraska’s Director of Intercollegiate Athletics until June 30, 2010. “I appreciated Tom's willingness to step in as interim athletic director during a very difficult time for the athletic department,” Perlman said. “It is now beneficial [...]
