Retirement for John Cook at Nebraska wasn’t a surprise, but a resignation by Kirsten Berthal Booth at Creighton certainly was…does anything add up about it? Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

-Nebraska has been a dominant force for 30+ years in college volleyball, but Creighton somewhat quietly was a top 10 team in recent years, including an Elite 8 team this year that lost to eventual national champion Penn State

-Booth was at Creighton for 22 years and had 502 wins with 12 conference championships and wasn’t showing signs of slowing down…so what happened?

Sip will be watching Nebraska’s football practice availability today…what should he watch for? Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

-Sip last saw practice in late March, and now will get a chance today…should he be locked in on QB2 and also see how QB1 looks so far?

-Can he confirm Rhule’s high praise for the o-line? How about the potential RB2 after Emmett Johnson?

Matt Rhule spoke this weekend and said again that the o-line has been a bright spot of the Spring…is this the year we see that unit ‘click’? / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

-Rhule spoke to media after practice this weekend and continued his stance on the offensive line being a bright spot…something we’ve pleaded for as a fanbase for a long time…is he telling the truth or just trying to make people happy who know the investment dollar-wise this offseason in players on the line (Rocco Spindler / Elijah Pritchett)?

The value of the Crown title continues to be debated in the Husker fan base…are we any closer to being on the same page? Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

-The Stool called it the moment that Nebraska was announced in the field of The Crown---we said they’d find themselves winning it all in a field that had several under-.500 teams, but also teams that were just left out of the NCAA Tournament (Boise State) that had something to play for

-We can laugh at the first 2 games of wins against Arizona State (a 20 loss team) and Georgetown (without 2 of their best 3 players), but the wins against Boise State and UCF had some significance to them…where do we stand 48 hours later?

Mickey Joseph says there should be buyouts for transfers who go up a level in college sports…could that be put into play? Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

-Joseph---of course a former Husker and interim head coach---is now the head coach at Grambling State and said last week that if a player leaves his school (or any school of that level) to go up level, the school that loses the player should get a buyout

-It’s an interesting premise and something we haven’t really discussed at all…could it happen ever?

We have a new champion in college basketball….did Florida prove the SEC’s dominance with a title or did Houston get their first in school history? Apr 08, 2025

Show notes

-Both teams got to the finals in incredible ways, with the Gators coming back from a halftime deficit to beat Auburn, and with Houston coming back from 6 down with 33 seconds left to beat Duke in regulation

-Kelvin Sampson entered the game with 799 career wins and 299 career wins at Houston…did he hit 2 big milestones and the biggest of all, a national title? Was the game as good as we hoped it would be?
