E.J. Barthel is sticking around at Nebraska despite pursuit from Texas and Penn State…have we undervalued his worth as RB coach in Lincoln? Feb 19, 2025

Show notes

-Barthel had his contract extended through 2027 yesterday, and a raise from $293K to $450K per year…yet many thought the Husker RB room wasn’t overly great last year…how surprising was the intrigue from Penn State and Texas for him?

-Also, Berke Buyuktuncel officially OUT vs. Penn State…we will see about Monday vs. Michigan in Lincoln.

Remember ‘BullyGate’ with Richie Incognito with the Dolphins? It may have all been blown out of proportion Feb 18, 2025

Show notes

-This weekend, an ESPN feature was released after a year of following former Dolphins OT Johnathan Martin, who was the “victim” of bullying in his time with the team in 2013, with former Husker Richie Incognito being named the main culprit

-Martin said in the feature he never believed there was bullying and that while there were derogatory things said by Incognito, that is not uncommon in a locker room and the whole thing got out of control
