Latest Episodes:

Michigan continues to be viewed as a Top 15 team for the upcoming season…is The Stool as high on them as other pundits are? Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

-Michigan comes to Lincoln on September 20^th, and if the preseason polls coming out are right---that will be a game Nebraska is an underdog in. On3’s Brett McMurphy has Michigan 11^th in his poll, and FOX’s Joel Klatt has them at 10^th

-Reminder: this is a team that was 8-5 last year, and has potentially a true freshman QB starting or Mikey Keene from Fresno State…are they really worthy of the preseason accolades?

For those who roll their eyes at comments about the Joe Moore Award from Rocco Spindler…doesn’t it mean more from a guy who was just part of 2 straight years of teams that were finalists for the award? Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

-Spindler, the Notre Dame transfer, made waves this week when he said this Nebraska offensive line has the potential to win the Joe Moore Award for the nation’s best o-line

-Lots of fans rolled their eyes at the comment, but he’s from a school that had great o-line play for 2 straight years…why would he not portray what he actually thinks is possible from what he’s seen?

The SEC always says “It Just Means More,” and one transfer RB in the conference proves that could be the case Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

-Jadyn Ott transferred to Oklahoma from California this offseason, and last week said to media about comparing the schools---at Oklahoma, “I don’t know how to put it nicely, the biggest difference is these guys care…not saying my former teammates at Cal didn’t care, but there are levels and it shows.”

-Not a great look for Cal, but a good look for Oklahoma. Is it obvious on care level at different schools?

John Butler speaks to media after practice today….what gives you confidence about Nebraska’s defense this season? Aug 05, 2025

Show notes

-There’s reason for skepticism at DL, but you wonder how Butler feels about the newcomers on the team that can start in the LB group and also in the secondary

-For those who saw practice, Andrew Marshall (from Idaho) looked good at DB and looks like a starter…will Butler go as far to say that today?

Matt Rhule spoke to media ahead of the practice on Saturday…what resonated from his appearance? Aug 04, 2025

Show notes

Rhule was complimentary of the team for a good week of practice, and mentioned players like Elijah Pritchett who is still in a battle for starting LT but looked the part; he also said he doesn’t view the new LBs as newcomers anymore

He said in general that position battles are a bigger thing in Week 2, so watch out for that…what else?

Rich Rodriguez wants you to know this generation of athletes is SOFT / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Aug 04, 2025

Show notes

The West Virginia head coach is constant entertainment at the podium, going from one time talking about only 2 RBs who made it through practice to then talking about how this generation has it better than anyone else

He discussed how people in the past in the state would work 24/7, even after their shift at work ended, and now said there’s a brand new ice cream machine for the players…quite the commentary from the head coach
