It pays to have a big leg in the NFL more than ever…Brandon Aubrey just reset the market / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

-We talked in previous months about contract negotiations with Brandon Aubrey and the Dallas Cowboys---now we know he’s coming

back on a 4-year, $28 million deal, including $20 million guaranteed

-The deal surpasses the previous high by Harrison Butker with the Chiefs ($25 million, $15 million guaranteed)….but Aubrey has been

seen as a ‘cheat code’ or sorts, with 6 field goals made of 60+ yards in his career, including 3 last year…

How does Emmett Johnson compare to Ameer Abdullah when it comes to NFL abilities? Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

-Abdullah was picked near the end of the 2 nd round in 2015; at pick 54 to the Detroit Lions, and although his career stats are not

remarkable, he has still played in 11 seasons in the league…which IS remarkable

-Emmett Johnson is seen as the 3 rd or 4 th best running back in the draft…and COULD be picked in the 2 nd round, but more likely in the 3 rd

or 4 th round…can you see him having more success in the league than Ameer has? Why so or why not?

It’s a big night for Husker baseball as they head to Lawrence to seek revenge on Kansas… Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

-Only one team has beaten Nebraska this year at home---the Jayhawks---the only blemish on a 19-1 home record for the Huskers.

Tonight, it’s revenge at 6pm (ESPN+) for yet another ranked-on-ranked matchup

-Nebraska comes off an impressive thrashing of USC…it would be another nice RPI boost in a midweek game vs. a good opponent…

A look inside Dusty May and Michigan shows that the sports calendar is messed up once again---and basking in the glow of a national championship isn’t the same anymore Apr 21, 2026

Show notes

-CBS Sports did a great profile on Dusty May and Michigan, noting that the fact that the transfer portal opened up literally at midnight,

just hours after the Wolverines won the national title…made a celebration really not possible for what it really meant

-The article points out that Michigan had a 2am video call lined up with a high-profile transfer the night of them winning the

championship, as this is 2 weeks of chaos…and it does seem right that the Wolverines’ title really hasn’t been celebrated…kind of sad

Indiana’s defensive coordinator had some words for Ty Simpson on Twitter this weekend…and he was right Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

-Simpson was on a podcast with Caleb Downs and said that Alabama knew what Indiana was going to do on every defensive snap against them,

but just “couldn’t do anything about it” in their 38-3 loss to the Hoosiers in the playoffs

-Bryant Haines, Indiana’s DC, caught wind of the comments on Twitter this weekend and said, “Adorable…we also saw everything they were

doing, every single snap, it’s just that we exploited those cues…and didn’t get frozen or crushed by them.” Beautiful.

CBS Sports’ bold predictions are out for the B1G, and they don’t have a strong outlook for Nebraska Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

-Tom Fornelli put out his bold predictions for each B1G team, and his prediction for Nebraska was no bowl game…which, of course, would be

terrible in Matt Rhule’s 4 th season….he also said if this prediction is true, Nebraska will be searching for a coach this offseason

-Among other predictions, Fornelli said Indiana will lose 3 times and miss the playoffs; Michigan will average more than 35ppg; Greg Schiano

gets fired at Rutgers; and plenty more predictions…

James Franklin’s first Spring Game at Virginia Tech started with a little bit of a disaster….and not from the performance on the field / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

-High winds caused a parachuter carrying an American flag to collide with the scoreboard prior to VA Tech’s Spring Game on Saturday

-The parachuter was jumping in tandem with another skydiver, but wind caused him to miss the top of the north end zone’s scoreboard…where

he landed between the C and H of TECH and had to have a crane pull him down, causing an hour delay before the scrimmage even took place!

renovation of South Stadium is shown, with a massive videoboard and higher seating to match it

-Dannen says future revenues could increase 40% after the proposed renovation is complete, an extra $35-40 million annually, with hopes of

more concerts/events in the stadium to bring in more revenue…what’s the consensus from our listeners?
