or not that’s true or happens, Riley told On3 that the title window is now open for the Trojans under his leadership

-USC hasn’t had a 10-win season since 2017, but Riley says this roster this season is the best he’s had in his tenure…

– Nebraska fans have moved on from Scott Frost, but the story never dies about his time in Lincoln Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

-On3’s Brett McMurphy wrote yesterday about Frost and his second tenure at UCF, and naturally the conversation came back to

Nebraska, even though Frost claims he didn’t want to talk about Nebraska

-Frost mentions that he and his wife can go out and about freely without being noticed in Orlando, but that’s not the case in

Lincoln—which he surely knew when coming back here….now he can be back in freedom

The NFL Draft starts tomorrow night in Pittsburgh…how much different would the buzz be in Lincoln with a chance at having first round picks? Apr 22, 2026

Show notes

-Nebraskans are very proud of their school and those who have attended here, and we will continue to say it until it changes---it’s been

since 2011 that Nebraska had a first round pick. That’s just one…think about the schools with several first round picks…can you imagine

the buzz around the draft if Nebraska had several first rounders possibly? Think about the buzz when Suh was getting drafted in 2010..

-Also, Ugnius Jarusevicius to the transfer portal…a back injury derailed his time at Nebraska…will they replace him?

You probably didn’t know about Stanford winning the men’s national gymnastics championship this weekend, but what it means will blow you away Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

-Stanford men’s gymnastics won the national title on Saturday night, which is not a massive story nationwide---however, it means that

is 50 straight years where Stanford athletics has won a national title in at least one sport

-That’s a national championship of some capacity in every single year dating back to 1976-77….amazing.

The ‘Five for Five’ conversation is going to get really weird and interesting based on the timing of its approval… Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

-As Sean Callahan wrote yesterday for Husker Online, there’s a chance that current Huskers that you see as in their last years could be

back in 2027 if the 5 for 5 rule is passed….such as Anthony Colandrea, Brendan Black, Andrew Marshall, and others like additional years

for Jacory Barney and others who will be juniors next year

-You know what else could be affected? Basketball. There’s a world where guys like Braden Smith at Purdue could be back next

year…talk about a tough situation on deciding to declare for the NBA Draft or not with this hanging over your head…what about a guy

like Jamarques Lawrence and Nebraska?
