Show notes

-Coach Busch has been around a few schools in the B1G and knows the conversations about the conference and teams in it…is the general consensus that Ohio State is uncatchable or not?

-How much did Michigan’s rise the past 2 years change the narrative for other schools in the B1G? USC won’t be scared of Ohio State when they enter the league in 2024…

-What should Nebraska’s belief be in where they stand in the conference long-term?

We don’t like excuses in sports, but injuries can wreck seasons and their potentials….how do the great teams and coaches survive them? Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

-Nebrasketball’s Emmanuel Bandoumel will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, joining Juwan Gary as players out for the season. That’s problematic for a Nebraska team that’s trying to continue to make strides under Fred Hoiberg

-At this point, if the team struggles the rest of the way…how much will you accept injuries as an excuse? How does Coach Busch handle that when he’s in-season?

Bill Busch joins us again for the full show….is it really possible to ‘flip’ a roster in one season? Jan 24, 2023

Show notes

-Matt Rhule’s staff added it’s 34th new addition to the 2023 class yesterday, the 24th high school commit in Ismael Smith Flores from Texas---a tight end who is an Iowa legacy athlete

-In Busch’s experience with a variety of programs, how do you go about changing the roster in the first year? Success stories like Sonny Dykes going to the national championship at TCU in his first year there following a 5-7 year the previous year might cause people to think it can happen more often

-Nebraska isn’t done yet either, and they’re going to be well over the scholarship limit…how do you handle that as a coaching staff and seeding players out?

Nebrasketball’s season got a lot more dire with the likely loss of Emmanuel Bandoumel on Saturday / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

-Nebraska lost at Penn State, 76-65, on Saturday to fall to 10-10 overall and 3-6 in conference play, but that wasn’t the biggest story of the game

-Emmanuel Bandoumel suffered a leg injury in the first half that took him out of the game, and Fred Hoiberg said in postgame that “it doesn’t look good” regarding the season for him. Without Bandoumel and Juwan Gary, it’s going to be tough to get much momentum going. Also, Tuesday’s game against Northwestern is now…on Wednesday

Sip and Jake view the Nebraska job under Matt Rhule as a reset, not a rebuild…does Coach Busch agree with that mindset? Jan 23, 2023

Show notes

-Bill was obviously on the staff last year and wasn’t retained, but he knows a lot of the players who are returning and also that Nebraska wasn’t a terrible team last year, they just struggled to close games and had injuries at the QB spot

-If it’s not a rebuild but more of a reset, what’s the difference in time expected to be competitive and get to a bowl game? You could argue that Purdue was a rebuild under Jeff Brohm, and he made a bowl game in his first year there…what is fair to expect next season?

Show notes

-We saw Michigan State in the B1G have great success going transfer portal heavy with Mel Tucker 2 years ago…can Matt Rhule do the same at Nebraska?

Show notes

-Coach Busch fills Sip and Jake in on what he’s been up to since the season ended and what the future holds for him
