ESPN says Nebraska football’s villain that still bothers the program is Miami…are they sure it’s not Texas? / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Aug 10, 2026

Show notes

-Last week, ESPN did a feature of the top 10 villains in the history of college football---they went further by listing each B1G program’s current

or long-term villain and chose Miami for the answer for Nebraska

-If you were at Memorial Stadium in 2014 when Miami came to town, you could definitely feel the disdain in the crowd…but is it enough to top

Texas as the program’s villain?

National media is starting to agree that Nebraska might truly be better off without Dylan Raiola for success this season Aug 10, 2026

Show notes

-CBS Sports’ Cody Nagel wrote about the Raiola/Nebraska situation this weekend, and mentioned all the things Raiola had talked about last

week in comparing the programs….and after assessing it further and what Matt Rhule said at Media Days, he thinks Nebraska truly might be in

a better spot to win without Raiola than with him

-This might be a question about QB play going forward---is a true pure passer something Nebraska should try to recruit or should it always be a

dual-threat QB who has the ability to run, like Trae Taylor is and what Anthony Colandrea will be this year?

in Georgia

ESPN ranked the top 10 villains in the history of college football yesterday…what are Nebraska’s top villains? Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

-The list from 10 to 1 of villains historically on a national level were: Caleb Williams; Deion Sanders; Tim Tebow; ESPN; Notre Dame;

1990 Miami Hurricanes; Brian Bosworth; Johnny Manziel; Coach Lane Kiffin; and Coach Steve Spurrier took the top spot

-Any issues with those mentioned or someone who should have been? Who would make the list for Nebraska’s top villains against the

program? Texas probably is number 1 as a whole…Barry Switzer? Who else?

Bill Belichick announced his son, Steve---the defensive coordinator—is on medical leave from the program…what does Fall camp look like for that program? Aug 07, 2026

Show notes

camp gets underway. That’s never something you want to see and we obviously hope things are OK with Steve. But in the meantime…

-What does Fall camp look like without a key part of your team---the defensive coordinator? It’s one thing to have injuries and such but

you have to think things would be odd without the DC around….what would that be like at Nebraska? Has Bill ever seen that in his

different jobs across the country in college football?
