and make a run at the playoffs---and no B1G teams were listed

Roger Goodell says there’s “no doubt” that the NFL will have teams located outside the country in the future….does anyone want that? Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

-And a bigger question yet---is that indicating teams moving locations to foreign spots or expansion of the league? Do we really want more

teams?

-32 has been the number for a long time, and it just feels weird to think about the league expanding more than that AND out of the country…

Brett Maher, Corey Brown and Geep Wade met with media yesterday after practice…what’s the update on Nebraska’s o-line and special teams? Aug 19, 2026

Show notes

-We mentioned earlier in the show that Gunnar Gottula is making a push at right tackle in a battle with Tree Babalade—he also mentioned that

Anthony Colandrea brings out the best in the o-line…is that because of scrambling ability or quick decision-making as a passer?

-Maher mentioned that his goal has been to help build habits that lead to consistent special teams play---and Brown says it’s a healthy

competition on the D-line at the moment
