Latest Episodes:

Sip wrote this weekend that he appreciates Matt Rhule’s ways of building a program…will it be clear when the bullets start flying in 17 days? Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

-As we mentioned earlier in the show, Rhule spoke to media after the scrimmage---and he addressed that it’s been 7 years since Nebraska finished positive in turnover margin….good to note that

-Rhule also keeps emphasizing the importance of great line play on both sides of the ball, and you’re seeing that in recruiting, too…maybe his vision for the future is what gives fans the most hope

-Also, that rumored 4-game suspension for Jim Harbaugh this year? Not happening.

It was only the first week of the NFL preseason, but it was a pretty good opening weekend for former Huskers… Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

-Trey Palmer caught a TD from Baker Mayfield for the Bucs; Garrett Nelson had a sack with the Dolphins in a loss to the Falcons; Adrian Martinez scored the game-winning TD for the Lions, and Devine Ozigbo led the Lions in rushing yards…any of these guys have a good chance at making the 53-man roster?

-What else stood out from the action this weekend in the NFL?

We’re officially 17 days away from Nebraska’s first football game, and a potential key contributor has left the program Aug 14, 2023

Show notes

-Matt Rhule spoke with media on Saturday after Nebraska’s scrimmage, and broke the news that Zavier Betts is no longer with the football team and won’t be back; a big blow to the depth in that unit

-Also, Rhule said the defense was much better than the offense in the scrimmage, and there were a concerning amount of missed kicks by the kickers.

-What else did we learn from the post-practice media session? Sip was there…

There’s some animosity between Nebraska and Iowa right now, and it’s not even involving the upcoming football season Aug 11, 2023

Show notes

-19 days from now, Nebraska volleyball will play inside Memorial Stadium, in front of 90,000+ fans, with a concert to follow (Scott McCreery)

-Yesterday, Iowa women’s basketball announced they’ll have an exhibition scrimmage against DePaul on October 15^th at Kinnick Stadium, with proceeds going to the Children’s Hospital. As one might expect, Nebraska fans jumped on this to say that Iowa is a copycat school---the rivalry is strong!!

-Also, Iowa State unveiled the ‘official vodka of the Cyclones’ yesterday, called 1858 Vodka. Will Nebraska do something like that?
