Early Break – 93.7 The Ticket KNTK

Latest Episodes:

Matt Rhule addressed media yesterday in the aftermath of Nebraska’s loss at Minnesota…what was the tone of the day as Northwestern comes to town this weekend? Oct 21, 2025

Show notes

Nebraska’s loss at Minnesota is still bizarre today—not the loss itself but how it happened---including giving up 9 sacks. Rhule once again addressed the offensive line’s performance and what can be improved in short time

Rhule also assessed the difficulty of Northwestern this Saturday and that they’ve won 4 straight games…how nervous are fans right now?

We know it’s the Dodgers in the World Series for the NL…is it going 7 games in the ALCS or did the Mariners advance?

Another weekend, another firing---Billy Napier is out at Florida, despite a win vs. Mississippi State….when does Luke Fickell get the axe in Madison? Oct 20, 2025

Show notes

We mentioned the story last week that Napier was set to be fired this weekend, win or lose---and that’s what happened, as the Gators beat the Bulldogs, 23-21, but it didn’t save Napier’s job. He ends his tenure with a 22-23 overall record; and an 8-21 record vs. teams with winning records

Meanwhile, Luke Fickell’s Badgers got shutout for a 2nd straight week—both at home---and it’s certainly going to be the end of his tenure…but when? And…could PJ Fleck be a target for Penn State?

Northwestern comes to Lincoln this weekend as winners of 4 straight games…it seems pretty important to avoid last year’s “déjà vu” and come away with a win Oct 20, 2025

Show notes

The Stool struggles when it comes to the ‘must win’ term….but it’s believable that this team could have visions of last year as their fanbase does of things going bad once they get to a 5th win

We made fun of the Wildcats earlier this season (and rightfully so), but they now sit at 5-2 overall and 3-1 in B1G play…and just shutout Purdue, 19-0, on Saturday, after winning at Penn State the weekend before. They also rushed 50 times for 232 yards in the win, and now face a Husker team who struggles to stop the run. Nebraska early favorites by 7.5 points…hmmm…

On a positive note---Nebrasketball had a home exhibition game on Saturday afternoon and BEAT preseason No. 8 BYU, 90-89 Oct 20, 2025

Show notes

Jake was in the building at PBA on Saturday for what was maybe the most entertaining exhibition basketball game of all time…considering the No. 1 player in the country (AJ Dybantsa), who had 30 points in his debut in a game that didn’t count but he did play 32 minutes

Nebraska hit 16 3-pointers on 34 attempts, including the return of Rienk Mast, who was 7-for-8 on 3s and looked wonderful

Nebraska’s losing streak to PJ Fleck and the Gophers reaches 6 straight, as Minnesota pummels the Huskers, 24-6, in a humiliating Friday night showing Oct 20, 2025

Show notes

What was THAT? Nebraska surrendered 9 sacks and gave up 186 rushing yards to a team that had just 30 yards rushing in their previous game (a win vs. Purdue)…lots of questions to answer and a fan base who witnessed a 5-1 start last year before 4 straight losses now has uncomfortable thoughts

Nebraska played a poor first half and still only trailed, 7-6…a 14-play, 98 yard TD drive that took 8:43 of game time in the 3rd quarter was too much to overcome for an offense (and defense) that had few answers for an average Gophers team…
