CBS Sports just provided some bulletin board material for a motivated Nebrasketball team / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

-CBS Sports’ Kyle Boone wrote an article wondering when each undefeated team would suffer their first loss of the season, and said

Nebraska’s will be at Michigan---nothing to be mad about there—BUT….he said this could be a 4-loss team 4 weeks from now with

tough games vs. Michigan, Illinois and Purdue coming up. That is possible, but it’s this part that is bulletin board material:

-“The Cornhuskers are a quality team, but they are the team I think has the highest likelihood of crashing, perhaps hard, back to reality

in the next six weeks.” Post it everywhere and make sure the team sees.

6:00 – The Stool all picked Indiana to win last night’s national championship…did the Hoosiers get it done or did Miami defend its home field? Jan 20, 2026

Show notes

-There were lots of questions going into last night’s game…would it be an Indiana takeover in the crowd, or would Miami fans

show up and support The U? Could the ‘Canes do anything to stop the dominant force that has been Curt Cignetti and Indiana?

-The Stool wanted Indiana to win---whether a close game or not—what did the game look like and was it competitive?

It’s almost a certainty that Nebrasketball will have their official highest ranking in program history when the AP Poll hits today…and they seem to not give a damn about jinxes Jan 19, 2026

Show notes

-Thanks to Iowa State’s loss to Cincinnati and continued wins by Nebraska, the Huskers will have to jump them in the polls and will be

no worse than 7 th in the AP Poll, a new high in the history of the program

-Comparing to other teams…yes, Purdue and Michigan both won games at USC and Oregon, but didn’t look overly strong…
