Show notes

-Maryland has looked scary for a while now, as has Wisconsin---yet it’s Michigan State who leads the conference standings

-The guys all agree that it’s hard to see Michigan making a run with their offensive issues…but what about Purdue? And what if Indiana gets in the Dance? Could UCLA make a push or is their offense too unreliable?

Remember the odds we brought up yesterday for the CFP national championship? There’s pretty much zero love for the Big 12 Mar 04, 2025

Show notes

-The first Big 12 team to show up on Circa Sports’ odds list to win the title next year was Arizona State at 100-1 odds…the same as Nebraska and Indiana

-Iowa State and Kansas State were next in the B1G at 150-1; then Texas Tech at 175-1; and Baylor at 200-1. Not much respect…

Husker fans don’t want to hear the word ‘reset’ as Matt Rhule enters his 3rd season…so what is it? Mar 03, 2025

Show notes

-Sip wrote this weekend for Husker Online that there are many new pieces on Nebraska’s staff and roster, but the ‘reset’ word is not something that fans really want to hear about after years of patience

-So how do you get everyone on the same page in one offseason and get ready to roll next year? Years like what Curt Cignetti had at Indiana this year don’t help fans have much patience at a program like Nebraska

Could Dane Key be the B1G’s most impactful transfer in 2025? One CBS Sports writer thinks so / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Mar 03, 2025

Show notes

-CBS Sports did a college football ‘Buy or Sell’ article yesterday and one question posed was Oregon’s Isaiah World being the B1G’s most impactful transfer

-One of the writers (Shehan Jeyarajah) said he would ‘sell’ that and said that Dane Key put up 715 yards in a ‘miserable’ Kentucky offense and could blow up with Dylan Raiola…is that over the top?

Fred Hoiberg wasn’t listed on a Hot Seat watch for college basketball in an early look this weekend…how closely is Troy Dannen watching the end of this season, though? Mar 03, 2025

Show notes

-Somehow, Nebraska is still getting mentions in Bracketology---Joe Lunardi still had them yesterday after the Minnesota game as “Last Four In”—but it’s a very weak bubble this year (also, side note---this is a great reason to NOT expand the tournament)

-Nebraska is not safe yet from missing the B1G Tournament—they likely will make it, but if they lose the last 2 games…there is a path to missing it. So what is going through Troy Dannen’s mind right now?

Every game is televised nowadays in sports---but one big SEC game had huge technical difficulties on Saturday that took it off the airwaves for good Mar 03, 2025

Show notes

-Kentucky and Auburn were playing on ABC on Saturday afternoon, when the broadcast went off the air with 12:25 left in the ball game due to a generator at Rupp Arena catching fire---and they never got the video back on for the rest of the game. Auburn won, 94-78, so it wasn’t a big dramatic moment being missed…but what if it had been?

-Also, SONG OF THE DAY (sponsored by Sartor Hamann Jewelers):"Rikki Don't Lose That Number" - Steely Dan (1974)
