Nebrasketball appears to be close to getting another transfer portal addition, 7-footer Braxton Meah from Washington May 01, 2024

Show notes

-Nebraska missed out on Charlotte transfer Igor Milicic, who chose Tennessee over the Huskers; but yesterday they were on the way to landing 7’1” center Braxton Meah from Washington as their rim protector

-Meah’s stats aren’t amazing---5.3ppg and 5.3rpg—but we’ve seen transfers in the past (Terran Petteway, Walter Pitchford) whose stats at their previous schools were poor before coming here…maybe he can thrive in Fred Hoiberg’s offense

-Also, Nebraska baseball played Creighton last night…did they finally get a win this year against the Jays or fall to 0-3 against them? Kansas State tonight for Will Bolt’s squad…

The price to pay for one franchise to have success in the playoffs is apparently their coach tearing his patellar tendon / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Apr 30, 2024

Show notes

-We mentioned it on the show yesterday that the Timberwolves swept the Suns to move on to the Western Conference semifinals

-What we didn’t mention is the fact that head coach Chris Finch was collided with late in the game and tore his patellar tendon in doing so…the cost of a team usually in the cellar to succeed, apparently!

We’ve seen Nebraska QBs of the past work with QB coaches in the offseason, but Dylan Raiola has the opportunity to work with an attachment to Patrick Mahomes Apr 30, 2024

Show notes

-We’ve heard the name Steve Calhoun in years past for QBs like Tommy Armstrong and Taylor Martinez; on Saturday, Dylan Raiola mentioned he’d be spending some time in Kansas City working with Mahomes and his trainer, Bobby Stroupe

-Stroupe also works with WR Chris Godwin and 30 different MLB players, but the Mahomes connection is one that will only make the buzz grow more…

A CBS Sports writer says Matt Rhule has 4 things he must do to get Nebraska back to relevancy…which seems most important and feasible? Apr 30, 2024

Show notes

-CBS’ Tom Fornelli wrote about Nebraska and Rhule prior to the Spring Game, and said Nebraska’s road back to relevancy starts with:

-1) Take care of the damn football 2) The forward pass exists, so use it 3) Make some field goals, and 4) Keep the defensive momentum

-Regarding FGs, per CBS Sports, Nebraska is 120^th in the country since 2018 in field goal percentage, at 67%...yeah, that needs to improve to win close games

Deion Sanders says he’s not leaving Colorado after his sons following the upcoming season…do you believe him? / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Apr 29, 2024

Show notes

-Colorado got laughed at for a small crowd for their Spring Game, but the weather was truly cold and snowy, so you can’t criticize them THAT much…

-After the Spring Game, Sanders said he has work to do in Boulder and isn’t bolting after his sons go to the NFL…you buying that?

What’s the most important things facing the Huskers now as we head into the summer? Apr 29, 2024

Show notes

-The transfer portal closes on Wednesday, and even though Matt Rhule says everyone in the country is coming after Nebraska’s players (and that they’re transparent about it), continuity is still pretty impressive with this roster

-Will there be an any activity in adding players the next few days or not before the portal closes? Dylan Edwards ended up choosing Kansas State yesterday after choosing to leave Colorado…so he’s not an option
