You know what a Nebraska takeover of OKC brings back? Memories of what once was in the Big 12 Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

-The idea of Nebraska being in OKC was popular with fans for the sake of conveniency and drivability---but also for the fact that

there are lots of memories from days of the past in the Big 12, making the drive to Norman and Stillwater

-Is that part of the intrigue for Sip in going to OKC? The fact that it’s hard to have a takeover of opposing B1G towns because it’s

difficult to get to them?

We are officially on the eve of Nebrasketball’s appearance in the NCAA Tournament…do we feel better or worse today about the chances of making a run or not? Mar 18, 2026

Show notes

-First things first---no run happens without beating Troy. We will have Josh Boutwell on later in the show to preview the Trojans

and see what their feeling is about the potential of knocking off Nebraska and moving on

-As we look at a potential 2 nd round matchup…are we positive Vanderbilt is going to beat McNeese? If we’ve learned anything

the last few years in the NIL world…it doesn’t mean a lot in terms of the madness still happening in the Dance…

Do Wichita State fans know what’s about to hit them the next few days in baseball? Mar 17, 2026

Show notes

-A Nebraska/Wichita State baseball series in Wichita typically isn’t going to get a massive amount of Husker fans at it—especially in a

midweek series---but with all the fans traveling down to Oklahoma City, and a 2pm first pitch on Wednesday…there might be some

‘shocked’ fans

-Jake is not making the pit stop at the ballpark but is curious what Breakers are planning to?

Jamarques Lawrence told media on Friday after the loss to Purdue that Nebraska is going through some serious adversity right now…is that something to read into or just about the fact they’ve lost 6 of the last 12 games? Mar 17, 2026

Show notes

-No one really made a huge deal of the clip that Lawrence said after the loss, but we’ll play it now…how does The Stool and the

Breakers read it?

-Hoiberg said Monday that Rienk Mast, Sam Hoiberg and Lawrence had been “very vocal” in practice the last few days, as they are the

ones with experience in the tournament

A Red Sea Scrolls thread caught Jake’s eye yesterday about a ‘would you rather’ when it comes to Husker football and Husker basketball Mar 17, 2026

Show notes

-Jake NEVER uses forum conversation, but this one seemed fun: a poster asked would you rather have Nebraska basketball win their

first ever game in the NCAA Tournament OR have 15 points to randomly allocate to Husker football throughout the football season

-Example: Nebraska loses 23-20 in football to someone…you use 4 of your 15 points to win that game…15 points could change a 6 win

season to a 9 or 10 win season depending on how close the games are…but a first round win for Nebrasketball is a first ever…
