sort things out year in, year out

Robin Washut (Husker Online) Feb 17, 2026

Show notes

-There was a lot of grumbling in the fanbase on Saturday despite a 19-point win for the Huskers over Northwestern…are you seeing

some troubling things or was it just a bad first half?

-Pryce Sandfort heads back to Iowa tonight fresh off a 29-point performance vs. Northwestern…do you expect him to play well or any

concern of getting too ‘amped’ up to play his former team?

-What concerns you about Iowa? Anything besides Bennett Stirtz? How do you slow him down?

A lot of people were chirping at Jake yesterday about cuts made with the Dolphins, but he is unaffected / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Feb 17, 2026

Show notes

-Yesterday, news broke that Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb were being released by Miami, and that the Dolphins were hoping to find a

trade partner for Tua Tagovailoa if possible

-None of this is surprising for a team in cap hell and going nowhere….it’s just another rebuild, which is all that ever happens in Miami

Minnesota/Oregon (9:30pm, FS1)….can Purdue knock off the Wolverines and make things interesting at the top of standings?

It’s a BIG night for Nebrasketball….a trip to Carver-Hawkeye Arena to face Iowa is a tone-setter for how the regular season will finish for the Huskers Feb 17, 2026

Show notes

-Nebraska heads to Iowa tonight to play Iowa at 8pm…a place that Fred Hoiberg has had some success with some previous teams…can

the Huskers hand the Hawkeyes a 3 rd straight loss in B1G play? We have audio from Fred AND Ben McCollum…

-Also, we have a disconnect from the AP Poll and ESPN’s Joe Lunardi---Nebraska remains in the Top 10 at No. 9 after the week they

had, but Lunardi dropped the Huskers to a 4-seed in his updated Bracketology yesterday…you can imagine how THAT went with Husker

fans…and there was one Top 10 matchup yesterday with Houston at Iowa State….

The B1G wants a 24-team playoff with no conference title games…is this really what the sport needs? Feb 16, 2026

Show notes

-It’s hard to say ‘no’ to more football, but doesn’t 24 teams in the playoff make it way-too-watered down?
