No. 1 Teams continue to be upset this year / Bill Belichick will be the speaker at this year’s Nebraska Football Xs and Os clinic…how different will he be in that setting vs. in front of media? Feb 21, 2024

Show notes

-Sip points out that there are no "great" teams this year

-Arizona, Purdue (twice), UConn and Kansas are all teams that were No. 1 and have been upset while sitting atop the rankings

-Can Creighton make a run?

-Nebraska women's basketball blew out Northwestern at PBA yesterday!

-Anyone that knows Belichick knows that when he’s at the podium for any sort of press conference setting, it’s short answers, often mumbled, and not much to offer in terms of substance

-For Bill…who has been in many locker rooms over the years and seen how coaches are at both the podium and in the locker room…how different are coaches in those settings?

-Would you be able to get over losing the Super Bowl in 2007 with the Patriots? New England had a chance to be 19-0, but couldn't get past Eli Manning and the New York Giants

Nebrasketball heads on the road tonight against Indiana…will they finally get their first conference road win? Feb 21, 2024

Show notes

-These are 2 teams headed in opposite directions---Nebraska seems destined for the NCAA Tournament, and Indiana would be NIT at best

-The Hoosiers just dropped a game at home this weekend to Northwestern (76-72)…can Nebraska follow the same script for a win? The Wildcats had a big 1^st half lead and held on to win in the 2^nd half

-A win tonight wouldn’t officially clinch a bid to the Big Dance, but it could help you relax a bit more…

-Iowa went into East Lansing and took down Michigan State

-Creighton SMOTHERED No. 1 UConn last night

-Are the "number one" teams not as real as we think they are?

-Nebraska and Creighton have both taken down No. 1 teams this season

Yesterday we talked about college football scoring being down for 3 straight years…what does Bill think about it? / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Feb 20, 2024

Show notes

-We mentioned the CBS Sports article by Dennis Dodd that said that scoring has gone down the last 3 years in college football, and this season was the lowest since 2009...

-Dodd listed 3 possible factors as to why that is the case, but what does Bill think about it from a coach’s perspective?

If Fred Hoiberg wins an NCAA Tournament game this year, how long is his leash going forward? Feb 20, 2024

Show notes

-We’ve joked before that if Hoiberg gets a win in the Dance, he should get a statue outside PBA—which is still amazing considering his overall record---but it would be something that’s never happened before

-Keep in mind, we’ve seen 2 separate 16-seeds (UMBC, Fairleigh Dickinson) beat 1-seeds in the tournament, so it’s not exactly an impossible achievement for Nebraska to win a single game

-Can you imagine what happens if they actually make the Dance and win a game, though?

-We usually like light-hearted stories on this show and this is not a light-hearted story but a serious matter that was national news yesterday

-In a lawsuit filed on Sunday, Scoggin accused former associate head coach Chuck Love of using his position and influence with head coach Amy Williams to groom her into a relationship

-The lawsuit also alleges Williams and AD Trev Alberts failed to ensure the coaching staff maintained appropriate boundaries with student-athletes and of violating her rights
