Early Break – 93.7 The Ticket KNTK

Latest Episodes:

If you thought Nebraska’s strength of schedule wasn’t overly difficult this year, apparently that’s the case for a lot of teams in the B1G Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

CBS Sports went through each team’s schedule yesterday and put Nebraska as the 10th hardest schedule in the B1G---so right in the middle of the pack, as the article points out that Nebraska’s true road games are both in back-to-backs (Maryland/Minnesota, and UCLA/Penn State)

The teams with easier schedules than Nebraska? Iowa, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, Minnesota, Penn State, Indiana and Maryland. Yes, the Terps have the easiest schedule in the conference apparently.

Can you really talk smack on an opponent if you weren’t a huge reason for the victory? / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

Michigan DE Derrick Moore said during B1G Media Days (in a joking form) that if Ohio State didn’t have the motivation to win it all after the loss to Michigan and the fact that the playoff was expanded, they wouldn’t be national champs

He’s not wrong on the playoff expansion item, as the Buckeyes were the 8-seed in the 12-team playoff…but this is a player who had one stat in the win---a pass deflection—and no tackles or anything else. Can he talk smack or not?

Day 1 of Fall Camp is a wrap, and Sip was there to view part of the practice…what caught his attention? Jul 29, 2025

Show notes

For those wondering about Carter Nelson, he was a full participant per several sources which is good news after his procedure this offseason...he had a sleeve on his right leg

One report had Tyler Knaak at left tackle for a drill and Gunnar Gottulla at right tackle---not Elijah Pritchett at starting left tackle—was that a consistent thing or just rotational? Also, thoughts on Dylan Raiola, Jacory Barney, Emmett Johnson…

Rumor season never ends, and one source says Virginia could be B1G bound if the ACC collapses / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Jul 28, 2025

Show notes

-The Post & Courier’s Scott Hamilton told Paul Finebaum on Friday that he’s hearing that North Carolina has a “gentlemen’s agreement” in place with the SEC, and that Virginia could go to the B1G if the conference starts to unfold

-That’s kind of a snoozer for the B1G, right? Yes---they have a somewhat recent baseball and men’s basketball national championship, but the Cavaliers have long been average to bad in football
