David Eickholt (Hawkeye Insider – 247 Sports) Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

-Here we are…Nebraska/Iowa for a trip to the Elite 8, just as we thought would be the case 2.5 weeks ago when these teams

played in Lincoln…can you believe this situation?

-Do Iowa fans know how much Nebraska fans are bothered that they are the ones standing in the way of the continuation of

this dream season? What’s the response from Hawkeyes fans to the draw?

-We can’t hide from it---Sip’s criticism of Bennett Stirtz went viral after the loss in Lincoln…where does David stand in defense

of the Iowa star point guard?

We are officially on the eve of Nebrasketball’s appearance in the Sweet 16…do we feel better or worse today about beating Iowa to move on to the Elite 8? Mar 25, 2026

Show notes

-Nebraska continues to be one of the great stories in college sports---yes, everyone is making the obvious comparison of

Indiana football to Nebraska basketball---which probably isn’t completely fair to both sides, but it’s fun to be in that

conversation…

-Also, how many fans are making the trip to Houston? How many went to OKC and also are going to Houston and how many

DIDN’T go to OKC but ARE going to Houston? Let’s ask the Breakers…

Arizona is the up-to-date favorites to win the NCAA Tournament, and if they do---it will end a remarkable streak Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

-Remember when Lute Olsen and Arizona won the national title in 1997? That’s still the last time the Wildcats have won it all---and also

the last time a team from the West Coast has won it all

-They’ll be by themselves again in the quest to end a 29 year drought for the West Coast, as no one else remains in the Dance besides

Arizona…will they do it?

Now that it’s officially a problem, we have to ask---are fans OK with the Spring Game being during a (potential) Nebrasketball Elite 8 gameday? Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

-We addressed it briefly yesterday but now it just is getting more awkward---Sip won’t even be at the Spring Game and no one is

talking about it at all now because it’s all about Nebrasketball as it should be

-For those who say it’s OK and that the Spring Game isn’t what it used to be—that’s correct—but it also is a day for people to come to

Lincoln to watch a practice and boost the economy for one day (usually in April)….and that’s not happening. What do the bars say?

Jeff Smith: Part 2 / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Mar 24, 2026

being on the broadcast brought back memories of the past?

-Jeff is on the broadcast team of what is undoubtedly now the greatest team in Nebraska basketball history….has that hit him yet?

Jeff Smith (Nebraska Basketball Radio Analyst) Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

-Jeff’s first year as color analyst started with a 20-0 record off the bat, a 2 nd place finish in the B1G regular season standings, and a

Sweet 16 appearance…has anyone considered if he’s the good luck charm? (Just kidding, Jake Muhleisen)

-What has this ride been like as a former coach? And to sit next to Kent Pavelka as he continues to get national attention for the dream

season he’s waited 41 years for as the main broadcaster?
