Updated Bracketology lists believe Nebraska should be a 6 to 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament in 2027…what, besides injuries, prevents this team from being back in the Dance? Jun 17, 2026

Show notes

-It’s easy to say injuries as a reason why a team disappoints---and that’s certainly always possible. But without living in that

realm….what would cause this team to disappoint?

-ESPN’s Joe Lunardi had Nebraska as a 7-seed yesterday in Bracketology, comfortably in the Dance but obviously not the 4-seed level as

last year…what are fans expecting from the upcoming season?

If you have the top QB in the country (as of now) coming to Nebraska…do you rely on portal WRs or try to load up on high school studs? Jun 17, 2026

Show notes

-Trae Taylor is the future for Nebraska as long as he signs here when all is said and done---some people are grumbling about a lack of

elite WRs committing to Nebraska from the high school ranks right now….

-But if you’re Nebraska---what’s the proper way to recruit the skill position around you? Does that change at all year by year or by what

‘level’ of a QB you have?

Does Nebraska have a top 5 DB in the B1G? Husker Online’s recent rankings say yes indeed… Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

-Before you say Husker Online is trying to be homers---it’s only the 2 nd player listed in any position so far (Justin Evans was a top 5

center)…as Andrew Marshall comes in at No. 5 behind Xavier Scott (Illinois); Jyaire Hill (Michigan); AJ Harris (Indiana); and Jermaine

Mathews, Jr. (Ohio State)

-Marshall, of course, came to Nebraska from Idaho and was very good in his first season in Lincoln, earning Big Ten Honorable Mention

honors…what’s his ceiling in college and next level?

What in the HELL is going on at Michigan State? Tom Izzo is pissed at the turmoil in East Lansing and he’s not wrong Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

-Bizarre things are happening at Michigan State, as President Kevin Guskiewicz departed recently for Clemson after just 2 years, and AD

J Batt left Monday for the same position at Kentucky

-Izzo spoke with reporters Monday and said the departer of Guskiewicz is “ridiculous” after just 2 years…Guskiewicz wrote to the

Michigan State community last month that an “unsustainable situation” created by different perspectives among board members, with

some issues with initiatives used to boost athletic revenue

Are you really a bust if you’re not a first round draft pick and disappoint? / Shut Up Sipple (sponsored by Bagels & Joe) Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

-CBS Sports listed 8 NFL players who are entering ‘bust’ territory if they don’t perform this season. One of the 8 players was Malik

Willis, now the starting QB of the Miami Dolphins. However, he was picked 86 th overall in 2022 and is now on his 3 rd team

-No one is arguing the fact that he could be a disappointment, but where do we cut off the term ‘bust’ at for any player?

A look at the over/under win totals shows the Big 12 isn’t expected to be very good in 2026….especially if Brendan Sorsby doesn’t play Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

-BetMGM put out their over/under totals for the Big 12 yesterday and had Texas Tech leading the way at 10.5 wins…without knowing

for sure if Sorsby will play for them this season. That’s a BIG if and certainly could change their number, even though their schedule

isn’t tough as we discussed last week

-After that? At 8.5 wins: Utah, BYU, Kansas State; at 7.5 wins: Houston and Arizona; and 6.5 wins: TCU, Arizona State, and Baylor
