Nebraska football keeps getting commits, but it’s a 7-footer for basketball on campus that is getting some attention Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

-Nebraska landed their 14^th commit for the 2024 football class yesterday with Landen Davidson, which is great. But what about the 7-footer on campus from Washington State?

-Also, update on the College World Series after yesterday’s 2 games…who went home?

The Atlanta Braves turned the best Father’s Day for a dad…into the worst Father’s Day / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

-The Braves are rolling on top of the NL East, but made an unfortunate business decision on Sunday.

-Infielder Charlie Culberson was designated for assignment on Sunday morning….the same day his DAD was scheduled to throw out the first pitch at the Braves game on Father’s Day. Talk about a low blow.

Nebraska just landed their 8th commit from Iowa over the past 21 years…should we be surprised at the lack of players coming from across the border? Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

-Jake Peters, an offensive lineman from Cedar Falls, committed to Nebraska over the weekend, just the 8^th commit from the state of Iowa to commit to Nebraska since 2001.

-The other 7 players who came to Nebraska didn’t exactly stack up to be much…why has it been so hard for the Huskers in getting players from Iowa? If Thomas Fidone pans out, it would be really helpful…

Imagine having a chance to be in the Hall of Fame for a particular team and turning down the opportunity….it’s happening in Major League Baseball Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

-Remember David Freese? His home run in Game 6 of the World Series against the Texas Rangers helped the Cardinals advance to Game 7, where they won and clinched the title in 2011

-Despite being a legend for that postseason run and the hit that helped them stay alive….Freese says the entirety of his tenure is not Hall of Fame worthy within the Cardinals organization. What the hell.

A local sportswriter says it would be a ‘work of magic’ for Nebraska to win anywhere between 6-8 games this season…is that how fans feel? Jun 20, 2023

Show notes

-The World-Herald’s Sam McKewon wrote this week that as he looks at Nebraska’s roster ahead of Fall camp, with all the dependence on newcomers and inheriting a team that won only 4 games last year, it’d be a sort of magic to get to 6+ wins

-Bill has said on our show a few times that this team could win 8-9 games this year…without magic. Why so?

-Also, update from yesterday at the CWS….did the high drama continue? And Jake’s back from Utah…
