CBS Sports lists B1G overreactions heading to the offseason, and Nebraska’s is a Jeff Sims comparison to Adrian Martinez May 08, 2023

Show notes

-The premise of the article was what conversations are probably happening on message boards for various B1G teams as we head into summer, and Nebraska’s says “Jeff Sims is who Adrian Martinez was supposed to be” -Is that something that fans think of Sims? Or that this offense is going to be friendlier for the QB than Scott Frost’s? Interesting conversation. -How much running is too much running for a quarterback in a football game? -Can Nebraska put a conventional run game together? Do they have the guys to take the pressure off of the quarterback? -If the program leans on Sims too hard and he goes down, this team will have a lot of problems! -Also, the article says that Illinois might have their best QB since Jeff George, Iowa won’t score points, Minnesota CAN throw the ball…and more -Northwestern is bringing in a very young and inexperienced staff, Sip says they won't win four games Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKING/MIDWEST BANK

The Kentucky Derby is tomorrow…is it something that should be on sports fans’ bucket lists to attend? May 05, 2023

Show notes

-A few years ago, our friend Mike Schaefer went to the Derby and told us about his epic experience there. Well, Bill has been to the Derby, also. Is it something you need to go to once or something he wants to go back to? -For our listeners…does the common non-horse racing fan want to attend the race just to say they experienced it? -The guys and listeners share their favorite horses to win the Kentucky Derby -There has been some tragedy surrounding the Kentucky Derby, as four horses have died -The #1 seeded Milwaukee Bucks lost to the #8 seeded Miami Heat in the first round of the NBA Playoffs this year. The Bucks head coach, Mike Budenholzer, was just fired. Of the last four NBA champions, three of those four teams have fired their head coaches: Nick Nurse (Toronto Raptors, '19), Frank Vogel (Los Angeles Lakers, '20) and now Budenholzer (Milwaukee Bucks, '21). -There is also a tragic story regarding Budenholzer that makes his firing ill-timed Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKING/MIDWEST BANK

In a quest to attract more eyeballs, Big 12 football coaches will soon be REQUIRED to conduct live in-game interviews May 05, 2023

Show notes

-Per SI.com, new Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark’s plan within the 6-year, $2.28 billion deal with ESPN and FOX includes requiring coaches to conduct interviews while games are going on -It’s unclear at the moment if the interviews would be coming out of timeouts or actually within the game itself---can you imagine a coach being forced to do an interview while the game is going on? You see it in MLB but this is a different animal in football… Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKING/MIDWEST BANK
