Who had a better basketball season in 2025-26: Nebraska or Iowa? Apr 01, 2026

Show notes

-We always say that it all comes down to the NCAA Tournament, and if that’s the case---Iowa went one more game than

Nebraska, beating the Huskers in the Sweet 16 before falling in the Elite 8 to Illinois

-However, Nebraska finished 2 nd in the B1G standings (15-5) and 28-7 overall, while Iowa finished 9 th (10-10) and 24-13

overall…so does Iowa’s one more win in the NCAA Tournament surpass all the regular season success Nebraska had?

baseball was 19 th ---and it was a chance last night for both teams to get nice midweek wins

Emmett Johnson isn’t at Nebraska anymore, but are we feeling OK about the Huskers’ run game now? Apr 01, 2026

Show notes

-Jamal Rule looked solid in the Spring Game, and Mekhi Nelson has looked good in limited time last year and also in the

Spring…does EJ Barthel have enough clout at this time for people to trust what he’s doing with the RBs?

-Husker QB commit Trae Taylor quote tweeted Sip’s column from this weekend about the run game and said he wasn’t laughing

at Sip’s comments, but rather the idea that the running back room wasn’t great when coaches already said it was…

A long-standing college basketball coach is on the move to Utah State…with no buyout to be paid at all Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

-Ben Jacobson has been at Northern Iowa for 20 years, and made 5 NCAA Tournaments among his 397 wins with the school…and it was

announced yesterday that he’d be taking the job at Utah State, replacing Jerrod Calhoun, who was hired at Cincinnati

-Jacobson’s contract at Northern Iowa states that no buyout is owed if he were to terminate the contract as long as it was known

ahead of time…so a 5-year deal it is for the new head man with the Aggies

The pressure of winning the first ever NCAA Tournament game is over for Fred Hoiberg and Nebrasketball….can consistently being in the Dance be the expectation going forward? Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

-There’s a reason why Fred Hoiberg is a finalist for National Coach of the Year—his Husker basketball team finished the year at 28-7,

and 2 nd in the B1G---in a league that has 2 Final Four teams (Illinois, Michigan)

-Cohesiveness and chemistry is never a given in any year, but Nebraska SHOULD have some back next year with Pryce Sandfort, Braden

Frager, and Berke Buyuktencel…but is it possible in the current NIL way of the sport for Nebraska to consistently be in the Dance?

It’s the last day of March, and we already have a deep dive and PREDICTIONS for Week 1 of the college football season / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

-The end of the college basketball season and beginning of the offseason reminds us that things get a tad boring now---but have no

fear, CBS Sports’ Brad Crawford already has his predictions out for Week 1 of the regular season…which, of course, is 5 months away

-Among his picks is an Oregon blowout win over Boise State (52-24), blowout win of Notre Dame over Wisconsin (41-10), and

more…this is not a conversation to attack those picks but more the thought of how are we already picking games?!

Nebraska football started their season last year with a neutral-site game….do you want that to happen again in the future? Mar 31, 2026

Show notes

-We ask this while bringing up the news earlier about volleyball playing in Wrigley Stadium in September. Last year, Nebraska beat

Cincinnati, 20-17, in Kansas City to start their year…in front of a mostly Husker crowd which was LOUD

-We also saw this in Dublin, which of course was a terrible loss to Northwestern in the 2022 season….have we seen enough openers on

neutral sites or do you want to see them somewhere fun again? And where would that be?
