The fall of Kansas basketball is further proof that you can’t take things for granted in sports anymore Feb 26, 2025

Show notes

-This sports year has been interesting with seeing Alabama football go from the kings to missing out on a 12 team playoff; and now seeing preseason No. 1 Kansas be unranked for the first time since 2021 (and prior to that it had been 250+ weeks of them being in the poll)

-Nebraska football being ranked used to be one of those things taken for granted…what else of note has that kind of shock?

The Packers want the “Tush Push” banned in the NFL, and other coaches discussed it yesterday at the Combine…how can that be a good look for anyone against it? Feb 26, 2025

Show notes

-We all know the “Tush Push” has been done at a high level by the Eagles, and while others have tried it, it’s not as successful as when Philadelphia does it

-It was leaked that the Packers want the play banned, and Falcons’ coach Raheem Morris said yesterday he didn’t want it in football anymore….if all 32 teams are allowed to do it, why should it be banned?

We’ve reached the really annoying part of the college basketball season where mediocre teams like Nebraska are on constant ‘Bubble Watch’ Feb 26, 2025

Show notes

-With 3 regular season games to go, Nebraska stands currently inside Joe Lunardi of ESPN’s Bracketology---unfortunately as a “Last Four In,” which would bring the even more annoying Dayton play-in game to reality

-As we discussed yesterday, since Nebraska can never just do well enough to make the Dance by their own good performances, now we have to actively root against other teams on the bubble---fun in the past, and annoying now when that’s all that Nebraska ever is at.

Matt Rhule and Deion Sanders couldn’t be more different in how they recruit, as CBS Sports laid out last week Feb 25, 2025

Show notes

-CBS Sports reminded readers that Deion Sanders has not had a single in-home visit in the past 2 years, saying “I don’t go to nobody’s school or nobody’s house. I’m not doing that, I’m too old for that”

-Keep in mind, Colorado does have a $200,000 annual budget for recruiting travel. The article points out that Matt Rhule made 486 off-campus visits last year; LSU’s Brian Kelly made 257 off-campus visits
