Nebraska football was in the bottom-half of the conference in recruiting spending in 2022 / Aging Gracefully (sponsored by Novotny Nutrition & Wellness) / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

-CBS Sports reported the spending of Division 1 football teams last year and their overall spending from the 5 years prior to it (on average), and Nebraska was 8th of 13 (Northwestern didn’t report) in the B1G -Is it a shock that Nebraska isn't higher on this list? -Michigan was the biggest spender, and Ohio State really didn’t spend a ton more than Nebraska...but look at the money that Georgia spent last year in recruiting…$4.5 million!! Nebraska was at $1.02 million! -With recruiting, there is a certain culture that surrounds a program, like Coach Busch has referred to with Ed Orgeron and LSU. There is not settling with recruiting in programs like LSU and Georgia. There is a constant hunger for more! -What’s on Sip’s mind today in how to properly age gracefully?

The transfer portal can be great, and it can be terrible for teams…yesterday was not good for Creighton Apr 07, 2023

Show notes

-We know Jake’s stance on Creighton and their NCAA Tournament, and we’ve moved on. Yet, yesterday was a tough day for the Jays, as their starting PG Ryan Nembhard announced he’d be transferring, likely to Arizona with Tommy Lloyd -Why are Creighton fans shocked by Nembhard's decision? -Nebraska hasn’t really been hit hard by the portal, and that might be in part because it’s not an overly talented team this year. But Creighton is in early projections as a Top 10 team next year and that stings for them -Would Chucky Hepburn be a good fit for Creighton? Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKING
