Brock Purdy’s year went from incredible to terrible very quickly…how much does it affect his future? / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

-Purdy had an incredible run of success from early December all the way through the playoffs, making it to the NFC Championship game before an injury derailed him and the game…and now it sounds like it might cost him a full YEAR

-Orthopedic surgeon Mark Adickens said Wednesday that Purdy might need Tommy John surgery, which is likely a full year of recovery---not the 6-to-9 months initially reported. What happens with him and San Fran?

There’s a pretty solid feud going on right now in B1G hoops between Iowa and Illinois Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

-The Illini play at Iowa at 1:30pm on Saturday, and the Orange Krush student section put out a complaint on Twitter how Iowa canceled their seats that they bought for the game and claimed it was unfair

-However, Iowa responded saying that the tickets were purchased in bulk with a discount applied for the Boys and Girls Club, which is not who the tickets are for….point: Hawkeyes. Will we see bad blood on Saturday?

Matt Rhule says it’s a “clean slate” for the QBs entering Spring ball for Nebraska…does that make it Jeff Sims’ job to lose? Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

-Rhule met with Sip and the Husker Online team yesterday and said that while he was impressed with Casey Thompson’s film from last year, the spring will be a clean slate for everyone

-Thompson won’t be able to participate in much of Spring due to surgery, but will be able to do some passing drills. Jeff Sims enters the Spring without an injury, and looks like he’ll probably get the main reps…is this kind of what we thought might happen when Nebraska got him?

-More from Sip and Husker Online’s interview with Rhule…

What goes through Tim Miles’ head as he sees Nebrasketball’s struggles from afar? / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Feb 02, 2023

Show notes

-Miles won 22 games and 19 games in his last 2 seasons at Nebraska before he was fired; one NCAA Tournament appearance while here, though they likely would have made it again if Isaac Copeland never got hurt

-The Fred Hoiberg era has never sniffed the postseason, let alone a winning record. Miles is having success at San Jose State; what do you think goes through his head when looking at the current situation?

In the spirit of Groundhog Day (the movie), how difficult is it for a coach to change the way they operate year after year? Feb 02, 2023

Show notes

-Bill Murray lives the same day over and over again in the movie, and there’s nothing he can do about it. There’s been stories about coaches changing their ways in the offseason (“New Kirk” at Iowa a few years ago)…but is it usually the head coach who makes changes or is it on his new assistants/coordinators?

-In Coach Busch’s time as a coach at schools he spent several years at, was it obvious when a head coach was making changes for the program or was that done by the people that he hired to fill roles for assistants who departed or that were fired? How hard is it to give up control to a new assistant?
