Sean Callahan (Husker Online) Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

-Troy Dannen talked several times the last few days and said on radio Monday night that the sellout streak will not be ending thanks to a strong

marketing push…will it continue to be a battle every game to keep it alive—and at what point is it not worth it?

-The Big Ten is passing a rule that doesn’t allow NFL players to return to play college football in their conference…can you believe those are

even words that need to be said in this bizarre era of college football?

-4 years ago, we were in Dublin for Nebraska/Northwestern to kick off the college football season…do you hope to be part of something like

that again with Nebraska?

Bret Bielema offers up a look at how Illinois is getting creative with the money gap to try and stay competitive with the more ‘monied’ teams in the league…is Nebraska doing that? Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

-Illinois head football coach Bret Bielema said on the podium in Chicago last month at B1G Media Days that he hired a new DC (Bobby Hauck) in

February to install a scheme that might catch the rest of the league by surprise

-He then said on the side podium that he is changing the way his defense is schemed because Illinois can’t afford to pay the numbers needed to

get what he wanted otherwise---they had committed a lot of their money to the offensive line, and D-line players were going for “ungodly”

amounts of money…so he’s patching together a defense that doesn’t need a bunch of ‘big’ players. Will that work and keep Illinois competitive?

Who knows…but what is Nebraska doing to try and keep up in the era of the money gap?

Manning Mania is upon us---and this time, we’re NOT talking about Arch Aug 26, 2026

Show notes

-Peyton Manning’s son, Marshall, is a 15-year-old freshman at Chattanooga Baylor High School in Tennessee---and his debut was nationally

televised as they beat Brentwood (Tennessee) Academy, 38-20

-Here’s the deal, though---Manning isn’t the starter, and in fact played just 2 snaps in the game---and his head coach said he’ll play in every

game this year, even if it’s just 2 snaps a game---to be ready to go next year. Manning Mania….it’s back again
