Fred Hoiberg will be back next season…has he done enough this year to believe there’s a chance Nebraska could be an upper-half team in the league going forward? Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

-It had to be a very humbling few years for Hoiberg as he endured epic losing and the worst records Nebraska basketball has ever seen. It also had to be nice to see some sort of success this year, despite not being exactly where you want to be---yet -Has Hoiberg’s change of approach this year given you hope he can still be a coach that can get Nebraska somewhat consistently in the upper-half of the conference or is that still far away?

We have a handshake feud in Major League Baseball…welcome to Spring Training! Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

-Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol says umpire C.B. Bucknor has “zero class” after refusing a handshake before a recent Spring Training game. Marmol also told Bucknor last season in an August game that he “should retire” for how bad he was at calling balls and strikes that game. He, of course, was ejected. -Also, SONG OF THE DAY (sponsored by Sartor Hamann Jewelers): Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKING

There are bad starts to seasons….and then there are BADDDDDD starts to seasons Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

-Northwestern baseball is 0-6 to begin the season, but that’s not the worst news: on Monday, their pitching coach, hitting coach AND director of operations all stepped away from the program…what a big steamy mess that is. All that remains on staff is the head coach (Jim Foster) and one volunteer -Imagine if that happened on a football team after a rough start and you just had assistant coaches who quit the program?

It’s Senior Night for Nebrasketball at PBA…can the Huskers extend their win streak to 5 games and continue a postseason push? Feb 28, 2023

Show notes

-It’s Nebraska/Michigan State tonight at 8pm at PBA, in what will surely be a packed house and a loud atmosphere. Tom Izzo said Monday that Nebraska is playing as well right now as anyone in the conference and knows it will be a tough test -It’s also Senior Night, and many people were bummed to see Keisei Tominaga in the group of players who will be walking for Senior Night---though it doesn’t guarantee he’s not back next year. But, if that is the case…it would be a huge bummer for what next year could be -Is Tominaga ready for the NBA? Ultimately, that is his goal, plus his fast-paced game could transition well. In addition, he has his name among Purdue's Zach Edey and Indiana's Trayce Jackson-Davis for a scoring statistic in the month of February -Sip makes another prediction for Nebrasketball tonight Show sponsored by GANA TRUCKING

The stat of the weekend comes from Nebraska high school basketball, specifically Omaha Public Schools and the state tournament / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Feb 27, 2023

-Schools like Omaha Central, Burke, Benson, Bryan, North, Northwest, and South. Girl’s state is this week and boy’s state next week. Metro schools thriving and Lincoln boys having a good year

Alex Smith was in town this weekend for the Team Jack event on Saturday night…where does his story stack up with all the athletes he’s coached? Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

-Smith was the keynote speaker for Team Jack on Saturday, and Bill had the chance to connect with him during the day on Saturday—Bill was on Utah’s staff when Smith was the QB there with Urban Meyer

-Smith had an interesting NFL career where it was long and overall successful but he was beat out for jobs twice after being a starter (49ers, Chiefs) and ended with decent success with Washington before a horrible injury

-He’s a great definition of someone that never gave up through it all.

Shame on us all for panicking too early on Nebraska baseball, as they bounce back with a sweep of South Alabama Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

-Nebraska fans were sickened with an 0-3-1 start at San Diego, and Will Bolt was sick of it, too. The Huskers went down to Mobile and beat the Jaguars in 3 straight games; 5-4, 15-3, and 9-3. The record is now 3-3-1 with a TOUGH 3 games this weekend in Minneapolis against Vanderbilt, Hawaii and Ole Miss

Iowa had a ridiculous comeback against Michigan State on Saturday, but the real story is the weirdo that Fran McCaffery continues to be Feb 27, 2023

Show notes

-With his team down 91-81 with 1:29 to go in regulation, McCaffrey had enough of what he thought were bad calls by the refs, and had an actual, real-life staredown with Kelly Pfeifer in a crazy weird moment

-The moment apparently sparked the Hawkeyes, because they scored 20 points the rest of regulation to get to OT at 101-all, and beat Sparty, 112-106, in OT. McCaffery is a certified weirdo, though
