The first coaching domino has fallen….and it’s well past time: Mike Locksley is out with the Terrapins….RIP to the Maryland Fade Oct 22, 2026

Show notes

-To absolutely no one’s surprise, Mike Locksley is no longer that head coach at Maryland---we all thought he’d probably be out on

Sunday or Monday following the loss to Rutgers, but he was fired on a Wednesday morning of a bye week

-The Maryland Fade had become a staple of the show, and maybe with a new coach it won’t be that way anymore---Locksley ends his

tenure with the Terps with a 39-54 record---and what really hurts is ending last season on an 8-game losing streak and bringing him

back, while Bob Chesney at nearby James Madison went across the country to have immediate success at UCLA…could have been the

guy at Maryland! The interim head coach is Aazaar Abdul-Rahim for the rest of the year…Locksley is owed $9.75 million.

Want a cheap buzz this weekend? Make the trip to Florida for Rice/FAU on Saturday for a beer drinkers dream Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

-This Saturday, 4-2 FAU hosts 1-6 Rice, and you can probably be drunk for only $20!

-During the game, fans can enjoy $3 draft beers during pregame and 1Q; $2 draft beer during 2Q and halftime; and $1 draft beer

during the 3 rd quarter….compared to one beer at Memorial Stadium costing $12! What a deal!

Sean Callahan (Husker Online) Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

-Most people would have been fine with 5-2 ahead of Nebraska’s bye week before the season, yet the commentary is so negative right

now following 2 straight losses to Indiana and Oregon…where does Sean stand on things through 7 games?

-It was about the worst situation a Husker fan could dream with Dylan Raiola coming off the bench to lead 2 scoring drives and beat

Nebraska this past weekend in Eugene…where does that stand in a long list of gut punches for the program?

-Matt Rhule announced several injuries on Monday from the Oregon game…which one will be the toughest to overcome?

Two separate outlets believe Nebraska football right now has a first-team All-American on its roster…can that hold through the rest of the season? Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

-Both On3 and Sports Illustrated put out their midseason All-American lists yesterday, and both had DB Andrew Marshall as a first-team

All-American….that’s incredible praise as we head to the later part of October….what do his NFL prospects look like at this point?

-Nebraska’s defense has performed very well this year, especially the last 2 weeks (even though both games were losses)…and it does

seem like no one here talks about Marshall because he does very little wrong…circle that game vs. Jeremiah Smith and Ohio State…

How will Nebraska fans fare if teams like UCLA and Kentucky make the College Football Playoff? Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

-Right now, those schools are absolutely on track to make the playoff barring major injuries or a collapse—we do know that UCLA has a

backup QB the rest of the season with the injury to Nico Iamaleava

-Add Indiana into that equation and a College Football Playoff could include the Hoosiers with UCLA and Kentucky…in a year where

Nebraska actually appears to be a pretty good team. Wild.

A lot is weighing on Nebraska's game vs. Washington next week for the rest of the season going forward... Oct 21, 2026

Show notes

-Nebraska is 5-2, and the CFP is technically still very much in front of the big red, but the Huskers' date with the Huskies will be a big tell at how Nebraska responds to two crushing losses to Oregon and Indiana
