Bracketology keeps giving Nebrasketball fans a reason to stay checked in regarding this team…where do we stand mentally with one regular season game to go? Mar 05, 2025

Show notes

-Before last night’s game, Nebraska was STILL seen by many as an NCAA Tournament team---Joe Lunardi had them as an 11-seed as did Field of 68; Andy Katz had them as a 12-seed…so, in the tournament but Last Four In

-The outcome of the game was not known before this rundown was made, but are we ready for this season to be over or optimistic now that they might find their game at the right time?

Show notes

-Ekeler said coming back here “brings tears to his eyes,” and his motto for special teams is “ABT for ABM…All About Technique for All About Money,” saying the more you can do as a player, the more value you’ll have in the NFL or other pro leagues. Also, another acronym..RLS for “Real Life Shizz”
