TWIS Notes 5/14/26: Lincoln Regional Edition – The Journey’s End Is Just Beginning

Now, the fun begins. The Huskers are hosting their first regional in 13 years and their goals only begin there. Will they reach Oklahoma City?

We will see, but the final stage of that journey begins with a win in the 4-team double-elimination match-up in Lincoln at 5:30pm Friday. 2026 Has Already Been a Season To Remember – Now Begins the Road To Making It One for the Ages In the land of grain silos and two-lane highways, folks sitting in small-town and roadside diners would drink coffee while waiting for chicken-fried steaks & eggs, read the paper and perhaps chat with others about Husker sports. And they would joke years ago that the Huskers had only two – football and spring football.

Those days appear to be over. This spring has been flush with success. Men’s hoops – first NCAA victory and the Sweet 16 (yes, I know, technically a winter sport, but no one’s thinking winter in the post-season).

Women – an NCAA tourney bid and play-in victory. Wrestling – a #3 national finish a year after finishing #2. Track & Field – Men and women both ranked in the top 10 with multiple conference and national leaders.
