True NFL Pedigree | WUW 517 May 06, 2024

Show notes

Football talk starts at 26:00
In todays episode we recap the NFL Draft for the guys in Black and Gold. An exciting weekend for a handful of now former Hawkeyes as 4 guys heard their name called, and several more signed FA deals around the country. We discuss the landing spots for each drafted guy, how they fit into their new organizations/cities/cultures and more. In the conversation that opens the episode we discuss the reality of post college life, as Grant closes out his school career, how that looked for Kevin and Kluver after football ended, how often we get to see our true friends, and how adult life can become quite lonely in many ways. Really a sad vibe to be honest, but something very relatable with some quality advice and resolve at the end of the conversation.

Jeremiah Sirles | WUW 514 Apr 22, 2024

Show notes

Sirles joins the show once more to further his Title as most frequent Walkon guest. His appearances on the show are nearing double digits and this episode solidifies why that is, as he is not only a former guy in the locker room at Nebraska and in the NFL with vast knowledge and experience as a player, but also provides great insight into NIL, the draft process, and much more from his current venture as an NFL agent. We discuss what his draft class looks like, the 'recruiting' process that a player goes through as they near a career in the NFL, what kind of financial incentives are tossed at guys who are going to get drafted, and how the relationships between training facilities, agents, and athletes get complicated. We also discuss what the future of College Football's structure might look like as a whole, the issues that the developing scene is going to cause with Title IX, workers comp, pay to play etc., and what control the NCAA actually has. We get a short report on how the Huskers are looking in Spring as well and if they could be a .500 ball club this fall for the first time in ages.
