Nebraska, I’m excited to announce a project 6 months (and arguably a few decades) in the making. Coming in November, my new book:

SWEET DREAMS: The agonizing struggle and euphoric awakening of Nebraska basketball.

Here’s the preorder link.

Based on 100+ hours of interviews, this 250-page hardcover is the most comprehensive account of Husker basketball ever. But it's not just a history book. It's also a Fred Hoiberg biography. And an in-depth narrative of the 2025-26 season. The book features hundreds of amazing photos. It'll look fantastic.

I’m beyond grateful to have the opportunity. I’ve wanted to tackle this project for years -- just ask Kent Pavelka -- but the timing wasn't right until Nebraska’s breakthrough season, culminating with the epic weekend in OKC.

I’ll have much more to say (and many more thank-yous) as we get closer. But for now, preorder and you can save $10 off the cover price. In November, you'll get the book shipped straight to you.

So if I’m understanding this properly, Nebraska is the No. 1 team in college basketball?

Big Ten meeting

[Rachel JOY Rohe 💍 @RachelBaribeau]

Wonder how many kids or even Americans can answer “Who is Todd Beamer?” He is an American Hero. Not any politician. Todd Beamer. Say his name. Pray for his family. He did something high above the fields over PA I’m not sure anyone would do today. (ps-I didn't write this but I KNOW heroes still exist.)

Freedom isn’t free. And our heroes don’t sit in D.C. Our heroes are regular people like you and me. Thank God they existed on that day.

Todd: Hello… Operator…listen to me…I can’t speak very loud. – This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco.. We have a situation here….Our plane has been hijacked…..can you understand me?

Lisa: (exhaling a deep breath to herself) I understand… Can the hijackers see you talking on the phone?

Todd: No

Lisa: Can you tell me how many hijackers are on the plane?

Todd: There are three that we know of.

Lisa: Can you see any weapons? What kind of weapons do they have?

Todd: Yes…. they don’t have guns….they have knives – they took over the plane with knives.

Lisa: Do you mean…like steak knives?

Todd: No, these are razor knives…like box cutters.

Lisa: Can you tell what country these people are from?

Todd: No…..I don’t know. They sound like they’re from the mid-east.

Lisa: Have they said what they want?

Todd: Someone announced from the cockpit that there was a bomb on board. He said he was the captain and to stay in our seats and stay quiet.
He said that they were meeting these men’s demands and returning to the airport… It was very broken English, and… I’m telling you…it sounded fake!

Lisa: Ok sir, please give me your name.

Todd: My name is Todd Beamer.

Lisa: Ok Todd….my name is Lisa…Do you know your flight number? If you can’t remember, it’s on your ticket.

Todd: It’s United Flight 93.

Lisa: Now Todd, can you try to tell me exactly what happened?

Todd: Two of the hijackers were sitting in first class near the cockpit. A third one was sitting near the back of the coach section. The two up. front got into the cockpit somehow; there was shouting. The third hijacker said he had a bomb. It looks like a bomb. He’s got it tied to his waist with a red belt of some kind.

Lisa: So is the door to the cockpit open?

Todd: No, the hijackers shut it behind them.

Lisa: Has anyone been injured?

Todd: Yes, ..they…they killed one passenger sitting in first class. There’s been lots of shouting. We don’t know if the pilots are dead or alive. A flight attendant told me that the pilot and copilot had been forced from the cockpit and may have been wounded.

Lisa: Where is the 3rd hijacker now Todd?
