Early Break – 93.7 The Ticket KNTK

Latest Episodes:

ESPN listed their Top 50 players in college basketball and Nebraska has just one player…another reason people doubt a deep run Jan 29, 2026

Show notes

-It’s also one publication’s own opinion, but it is shared by a lot---Pryce Sandfort shows up as ESPN’s 26 th best player in the

country, right behind Northwestern’s Nick Martinelli

-Rienk Mast may have been on this list back in December, but it was a January to forget for him—except the Michigan State

game—but can any other Husker step up and become a Top 50 type player in the country or is that not necessary?

The Buffalo Bills have a new head coach….and it’s a familiar name who has been there for a while Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

-Out with Sean McDermott, and in with his offensive coordinator---Joe Brady signed a 5-year deal to be the team’s new head coach

-Brady has been with the team for several years now, so this leads to many questions….was McDermott holding Brady back from what

he and the team could be? Why would they promote someone who was on the staff of a man who was fired?

Nebraska’s 2026 football schedule is out…there’s a chance at a great start, but another rough November looks likely Jan 28, 2026

Show notes

-The schedule was released yesterday, and we knew the first 3 games of Ohio, Bowling Green and North Dakota…but then it’s

at Michigan State, vs. Maryland, vs. Indiana, at Oregon, BYE WEEK., vs. Washington, at Illinois, at Rutgers, vs. Ohio State, and at

Iowa

-A 5-0 start isn’t unreasonable…but it’s all about what happens after that. 3 of the 4 games in November are on the road, and

while Rutgers isn’t daunting on paper…it’s never an easy win there, and that could be your last chance at a 6 th win

Arbor…what’s the conversation nationally this morning after last night’s game?
