Show notes

-The 2 areas we have the most questions about Nebraska’s starters are at RB and a 2 nd CB opposite of Andrew Marshall.

-RB could be a 4-player battle; and the 2 nd CB position could be similar (Jeremiah Charles, Victor Evans, Danny Odem)…

Sip wonders if Dana Holgorsen can scratch his ‘elusive itch’ for Nebraska’s offense…how can he do so? Aug 04, 2026

Show notes

-Matt Rhule mentioned at Big Ten Media Days that when Nebraska’s o-line was able to move the ball up front, good things happened;

when they didn’t, bad things happened. That’s obviously football in a nutshell

-Holgorsen is at his best with a good running game and when the o-line can protect the QB well---which is the case for most OCs, to be

fair---but is Nebraska in a place to help him succeed this season?

Are we in an era where what is truly most important about a new coaching hire is what players he can bring with? Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

-We’ve discussed this a lot recently, but it was a comment from B1G Media Days, too, where comments were made about ADs view

the importance of who a possible coach could bring with them as a main reason for them being considered to be hired

-This is where we look at the concept of Matt Rhule, who came in without any players with him…is his type of hire already a thing of

the past?

Now that the Stool is all back together---we must all address Curt Cignetti’s appearance from Big Ten Media Days / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Aug 03, 2026

Show notes

-Cignetti said the B1G doesn’t run the “hype machine” that others---the SEC—run, and also said the Big Ten is the best conference in

college football…which he definitely should say

-Cigs also said Iowa was the most underrated football team in the country last year, and that he’s sick of vacation and ready to go boss

some people around
