Bowling over Badgers: Nebraska finally solves Wisconsin to snap bowl game drought
The Nebraska football program’s long eight-year bowl drought came to an end with a 44-25 win over Wisconsin in a game Nebraska never trailed, instead controlling throughout. The victory secured Nebraska a six-win season and a bowl trip for the first time since the 2016 season. Wisconsin missed two field goals and committed two turnovers, crucial mistakes which Nebraska benefited from. A Black Friday game against Iowa may limit just how long the Nebraska players and coaches can soak in the emotions of finally breaking through and making a bowl game – but they’ll never forget how they felt when snapping the program’s bowl streak. “Everybody who loves Nebraska wanted it, and moments like that come once in a lifetime.”Photos: Nebraska football hosts Wisconsin on senior day — Nov. 23

In “Big Time,” college profs battle to survive amid sports run amok
Mooney and his remaining History Department colleagues were operating concessions at Coors State University’s football stadium for the first time. He was filling another box when a man in battle fatigues leapt over the counter with a piercing howl. “Our esteemed Professor Mooney is prepared for everything except battle.” Braverman sometimes spoke as if a documentary film crew were trailing him. “You should wear a sombrero to promote your book,” Braverman said, crunching over the spilled popcorn. Mooney and Braverman had plenty in common besides being professors at the big state school in Colorado—maybe too much.

Columbia Defeats Football, Clinches Share of Ivy Title for First Time in 63 Years
On a windy day in New York City, Columbia downed football 17-9 to win a share of the Ivy League title for the first time since 1961 and just the second time in Lion history. With the loss, Cornell’s (4-6, 3-4 Ivy League) streak of finishing Ivy play with a .500 record or below continued for an 18th straight season. A loss for the Crimson would allow Columbia and/or Dartmouth to clinch a share of the Ivy League title with a win. Cornell’s defense, which entered the game allowing the second-most yards in the Ivy League, could not hold back the Columbia offense. With that result, Harvard, Columbia and Dartmouth all claimed shares of the Ivy League title with even records of 5-2.

General Daily Insight for November 24, 2024 Overthinking things might be impossible to resist at the moment. Still, as Luna squares brainy Mercury at 3:10 pm EST, falling down a rabbit hole of analysis isn’t healthy either. Aries March 21 – April 19 You may be putting a lot of effort into going somewhere and doing something exciting today. Cancer June 21 – July 22 A crucial conversation risks getting bogged down in details that ultimately won’t matter. You’re probably more interested in their status than they are in yours — this is primarily an internal battle.
