Often the target for criticism, Deion Sanders can sit back and laugh at his haters with a massive contract extension / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Mar 31, 2025

Show notes

-Deion Sanders has been doubted his entire time as a coach in college football, and all he’s done in 2 years at Colorado is turn around a program that was 1-11 prior to his arrival to being a 9 win team this past year and the home of a Heisman winner

-Now, Deion’s even wealthier than he was before—signing a 5-year contract extension through 2029 worth $54 million total---$10 million in 2025-26; $11million in 2027-28; and $12 million in 2029

Nebrasketball’s season---for some reason---continues tonight in The Crown in Vegas…will Husker fans be tuned in? Mar 31, 2025

Show notes

-We’ve joked about this tournaments for 3 weeks now---but tonight is the night it begins, with the Huskers facing Arizona State at 7:30pm on FS1 in a tournament filled with under-.500 basketball teams who were left out of any other postseason

-At worst, it’s basketball for diehard fans to watch in a week without hoops as we prepare for the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four…at best, it delivers quality entertainment and a good broadcast that brings in fans to watch and games to gamble on…what kind of showing do we expect from Nebraska?

There are proper ways to leave a job for another job, and then there’s the way that Kevin Willard left for Villanova… Mar 31, 2025

Show notes

-Bill had us play the clip last week of Willard commenting on NIL funding issues at Maryland and not being able to stay a day or 2 longer in NYC for Christmas (still weird)…and then Willard never really committed to being with the Terrapins in media sessions

-Fast forward to this past weekend and Willard is now the Villanova head coach, to no one’s surprise---just a very messy departure from Maryland...who could take his place with a program fresh off a Sweet 16 appearance?

The Final Four is set in the NCAA Tournament…and if you like chalk, this year is for you Mar 31, 2025

Show notes

-Duke was thoroughly impressive in a rout of Alabama to advance to the Final Four, and Florida had a crazy finish to overcome a late deficit to advance as well..

-Yesterday, it was Michigan State/Auburn and Houston/Tennessee…what’s the narrative of the teams left and the tournament overall? Yes, a lack of upsets if disappointing BUT—the teams that have been great all year long are the ones left, so this is how it’s supposed to be and should deliver great drama on Saturday and next Monday…

Dana Holgorsen spoke to media after practice yesterday, as well as a few players…what did the OC have to say? Mar 28, 2025

Show notes

-Holgorsen was very complimentary of Dylan Raiola, saying he hasn’t seen a QB so comfortable operating out of shotgun but also able to go make checks under center

-He also said he’s not sure he’s ever worked harder as he did to end last season and so far to begin 2025…what else did Holgorsen have to say? Also, Jacory Barney spoke…why does it feel like sometime we forget him in the WR group?

Show notes

-Dannen said he asked Fred how he could help out as Nebraska tries to improve the roster next year and not have the disastrous finish that this year had
