Justin Herbert is the NFL version of Steve Sipple….but is that a good thing? Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

-NFL players are right now in the midst of 5 weeks of vacation with no obligations to the team until Training Camp, and most enjoy that…but not Justin Herbert

-Herbert told media that he views too much time off as a “burden,” and he views his job as a QB as his vacation

-We know Sip doesn’t take vacations anymore (although Jake wishes he would once in a while)….does this make you respect Herbert more or think he’s a weirdo?

CBS Sports’ Tom Fornelli has 2 B1G teams among those who are likely headed for step-back year…do Sip and Jake agree? Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

-Fornelli puts Michigan State and Purdue among the likes of Kentucky, Pittsburgh and Oklahoma State for teams that are headed for a worse year than last year

-Pause with Purdue, who Sip is high on and believes will contend for the West. Jake is not as high on them as Sip….does Sip not see a step-back at all without David Bell and George Karlaftis?

What’s your biggest reason to believe that one-score games can swing in Nebraska’s favor this year? Jun 21, 2022

Show notes

-We talk about one-score games all the time because Nebraska was in a lot of them, and lost all of them last year

-If you believe they can win more of those this year…why? Is it Mark Whipple having more say on playcalling that Frost? A different QB? What about the defense?

-The good news is you can’t get worse in one-score games than they were last year…

One bold prediction for the upcoming season has Nebraska starting 5-0—yes, that’s including a win over Oklahoma—how would this state react to that? Jun 20, 2022

Show notes

-After 5 straight years of no bowl game, it kind of feels like the fanbase has forgotten what it’s like to win, even with a tradition of excellence. We’re always waiting for the other shoe to drop when things go well—because it usually does. 247 Sports’ Brad Crawford has a bold pick of Nebraska beginning this season at 5-0.

-How would this state react if Nebraska started 5-0? We’re already worried about the Northwestern game and coming out of Ireland with a win…but this would be a whole different animal

-Is there still a belief that Scott Frost can be a long-term coach here and have big success in the future?
