  Speaker 2: Hunter's Arburn at Austin rose To kinda Free tag will
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: be joining shortly.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: It's bull week. We have not said that.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: Wow, what a treat.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: We've never said it on this podcast five six years
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: and here we are for the first time, Nebraska playing
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: in a bowl game.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Who did we last day? Who did we last playing
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: the ball? Who was in Tennessee? Was it?
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: It might have been U. C.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: L A.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: I think potentially, you're right, yep, yeah, you're right. That
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: is what can I remember? We absolutely ran it down
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: their throat.
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: It's been a while, and especially around the holidays here
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: normally we're checked in or not really on much football talk.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: It's basketball season, which we'll get to that here in
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Huskers play tonight against Hawaii on Monday
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: evening in the semi finals of the Diamond Headed Classic.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: But this year we have like a lot of stuff.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I feel like, I'm not gonna call it the off season,
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: but with this portal, it's just it's a lot and
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: we've updated you every week. We have some now incoming
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: players since we last spoke, and I don't know. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: don't want to spend a ton of time on this
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: because I feel like we could do this every episode
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and it's just blah blah blah. And I'm not big
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: into the portal or recruiting until I.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: See him play, Like That's kind of how my mind
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: is now. It is fun to get excited about him,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I guess, but that's my opinion on the portal.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Like great add some players we see like, oh, former
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: four star, I'm like, well, it doesn't mean anything to
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: me right now.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Now down the road we'll see.
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, to an extent. I mean, it is still talent
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: that most of the people though that are transferring that
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: we're getting our people who have like four years of
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: eligibility or three years of eligibility, so we've only seen
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: them for a year. It's not like this person that
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: we've seen for three years and you're like, oh, this
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: guy's good, and we feel good about saying that because
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: there's actual film on him. It's not you know, like
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: the five star defensive end from Missouri. It's like you
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: didn't even play really last year.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: So you're right, yeah, and you don't know why, Like
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: you don't we don't know anything about the schools. We
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: can read stuff and say, oh, well, here's why because
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: we read this, this, and this from Missouri and it
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: doesn't to me.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: At a whole lot of value, I guess, but it is.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: It's fun to still talk about. It makes it busy
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: during this time of the year. And then we're adding
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: a bowl game this year, so it's very different than
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: the year's pass on the podcast. So I think last
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Monday we just heard of Dante Daldell since he has
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: signed at was it Kentucky? I think I've heard the Wildcats,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: So there goes Dowdall. I heard there's probably a lot
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: of money offered there. That's what we're saying. Maybe true,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure. And then here's what we've gotten since
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: last Monday edition of the defensive line transfer from Tennessee
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: State Jalen George. I mean he's got two years left.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: He is a second defensive lineman after the Missouri transfer
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: that that you mentioned, and then we added a punter,
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Jack McAllister.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Uh and he has been a Washington the past few years.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: So if you watch National Championship last year, he had
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a fifty six yard boot. So he will most likely
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: be our punter next year, replacing Boushini since Bushini is
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: is a senior. And then on Thursday, we added Isaiah Hunter,
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: who was the cow number one receiver for this year.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: He had forty catches for five and seventy eight yards
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: and five touchdowns, leading the Golden Bears this year. He
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: was a former four star. He still has three years left.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: That was a big get. I think that was one
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: of the big targets on the offensive side of the
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: ball that will immediately make an impact on in data
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: holders since offense and then defensive linemen gave more for
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State. He was a three star cruit but didn't play.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: He's got four years left. A couple other defensive guys,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: Justin Rhett from Georgia safety four star Kurt twenty three
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: class two didn't play much past couple of years. He
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: has three years left. And then a big one from
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma and Dak's not on here to add his commentary.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: He told me he was not very good, but.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: To say that leaves hey, Yeah.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: The Saan mccola from Oklahoma linebacker sounds like he might
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: be playing some safety for us. He had seventeen tackles
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: this last season. And he has one year left as well.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: He was a freshman All American twenty two twenty three.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Probably will replace Isaac Gifford. I'm in the rover and
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: then quarterback. We got a quarterback in the headline. I
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: saw when I saw this was talented, I'm like, great.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: We'll never see him touch the ball.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Hopefully produced third stringer Marco's de Villa red shirted during
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: his freshman year. He's got four years left. Coming from Midland,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: Texas top fifty year crew in last year's class. He
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: probably won't be Dylan's backup, hope. Like you said, hopefully.
• 6:13
  Speaker 4: Never probably never see him.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: But I just laughed. I heard the headline was added
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: a talented quarterback. I'm like, man, this guy must be talented.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Backing up produced two quarterbacks ahead of him.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah and yeah, I know, I know exactly. Yeah. Not
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: that Purdue had a great passing game this year, but
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: you know he was really good. He backed up the backup.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: I mean that's important to have that kind of depth
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: on such a past heavy offense. Traditional gikes, he'll be fine.
• 6:48
  Speaker 4: Like I said, hopefully we never see him. Glad we
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: have him, Hopefully we never see him.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: It's just a lot of new names that we're going
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: to continue to hear, not just now, but continued on
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: when the portal opens back up or I'm not even
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: sure when when this period is.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: I know it shuts down for a little bit and
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: then opens back up.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: So we're getting guys now, is what I think is
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the good news. Again, don't know what they're going to
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: be like, but you hear the name, you know where
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: they're coming from. I think, just like Nebraska basketball every year,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: and we've seen this the past four or five years
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: where we're just like, oh, don't know who this guy is,
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Let's watch him.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: It takes a few games to get to.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Get to know them. That's what football is going to
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: be more like it really is. It's just the reality
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: of it. And it's fun to see the names. It's
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: fun to see what pieces we can put together.
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: One of the strengths as we talked about this coaching
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: staff and now adding Dana, is potentially selling these players
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: and and and the nil funds that we have in
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Nebraska to get some top notch recruits here even though
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: we have not been really producing on the field. And
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: one of the hust Girl Line podcasts recently just talked
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: about how you know there's still hype, there's still fans
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: going to games, there's still everybody wanting brass Gon to
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: be back. Now, that's why we can still land some
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: of these guys from these big schools.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: I think that time is limited.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: In the next ten to fifteen years, It's not always
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: going to be like this if we don't flip the switch.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Ten talked about that.
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: Ten to fifteen might even be along. I'm curious because
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: for me, this is definitely how I feel. But when
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: you like this last season, did you do you feel
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: differently about the players that transfer in, Like when you're
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: watching them, you're like, yeah, I hope they do well,
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: but do you just do you feel different about them?
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: It's strange, right, I don't really think of them.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: I guess as.
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: Same level is the recruits to say to say, but
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: at the same time, it's like they're still now your
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: team for this year, so.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: You want him to produce.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: But I yeah, I agree, Like Jamal Banks and Isaya Nayor,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: I wasn't like you just didn't.
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know how to describe it, but like you're like,
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: I'm happy that they're doing well, but like when Barney's
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: going off, you're like, man, that guy's a you know,
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: like oh or even you know, the running back room,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: it's like, man, and I really like that what Evan
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: Johnson's doing. But even though Dad Dell's doing really well,
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: it's just I don't know, I don't know if it's
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: some weird.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: And maybe a little bit subconsciously as a product of
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: the youth, and you want guy young guys to do
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: well because you know they're going to be here longer,
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: likenyor and Banks, Like I just thought they were one
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: one hit wonders, like if they work great, they don't
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: like they're only going to be here for a year,
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: which is.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: I felt that way about Ben Scott, like I was like, man,
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: he's a good center. But there's still like this bit
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: of like, yeah, he came here, like you know, like
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: he I don't want to I'm trying to figure out
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: how can I phrase this, but it just it feels
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: like a transplant. You know. It's like you're not you're
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: not from here. That's not how to describe it, are.
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: You you know, what do you say?
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: What do you say? I just want to know if
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: you were drinking.
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: Nope, Oh all right, I just want.
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: Okay, we just got done talking about how we're super
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: excited about the Oklahoma transfer and now we think he's
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: going to change our defense.
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm be honest you. I don't know anything about him.
• 10:38
  Speaker 5: I texted Hunter. He sucks. I really don't know anything
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: about that guy.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: You don't know anything because you're not a fan. You
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: don't actually know the players. You can't even deny it
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: at this point.
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: I know, Oh my got a heck of a transfer. QB.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: That's true, Jeometur.
• 10:57
  Speaker 4: Apparently Baker Mayfield sold him on that one.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: Yep, he did. He went and talked him into it.
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: So they're back there.
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: You go.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: You guys, tell me about the Christmas hats tonight.
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: Well, it wasn't planned. We just happened to both have
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: them on.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: And where's yours?
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: Actually? I lost it? I then you go find it.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: You're the only one at a Christmas party right now too.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: Now we're not. It's not a party.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: Just to get together, yep, just to get together, all right.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: Nebraska Boston College the bad Boy Mower's Pin Stripe Bull
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium this Saturday, December twenty eighth I saw the
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: line move again.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: It's up to three and a half.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: It's hard to know with players playing the only ones
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: right now. I think from Nebraska's standpoint that we haven't
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: heard anything but that were still up in the air
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: on is how much is Tye and Nash gonna play?
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: We would assume they're gonna play the whole game. They're
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: both most likely going to get drafted or at least
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: be looked at by NFL teams, and you know there's
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: obvious people that opt out.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: I think they're gonna play.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: I just don't see how they're gonna sit there in
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: the sideline and watch this Bowl game their entire career. Yeah,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna play. Other than that, I think
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: we know who's playing from from our depth chart standpoint,
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: we know Heinert got moved to tight end. So our
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: quarterback room now, Jalen Grahamstead is the number two backing
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: up Dylan Rayola. We know the running back room is
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: going to be Emmett and Ramiir. Hopefully Ramire can get
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: on the field it sounds like he can, and then
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: Quinn and Ives is gonna probably get some heavy workload
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: there as well. You know, a wide receiver room doesn't
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: look much different from the year. Offensive line doesn't look
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: much different. On the defense the side, we got some
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: change change of names, but still a lot of guys
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: that played a lot of snaps this year. It's not
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: like all the guys that left. They played every snap
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: right every game. So you know you're you're here gonna
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: hear a lot of the same names. It's just at
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: the depth behind them. If we still sub and rotate
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: as much as we have, you're gonna see some guys
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: like Vincent Shavers and Willis mcgahey, Bly Hill and on
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: the outside, Ramir Stewart, Mario Bufford. Those guys are gonna
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: get some chances to show what they can do on
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: the defensive side of the ball. You know, on the
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: defensive endside, Cameron Lenhard and Riley Van Poppol like, those
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: guys are going to play a lot of minutes on Saturday.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: And and I think those are guys that I don't
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: feel like it's gonna be a huge step off, but
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: we're gonna find out against Boston College who.
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: They're not.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: They're not the flashiest of offenses, but there they're more
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: run heavy. They would fit in pretty well with the
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: Big Ten based on the style that they.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Run well former head coach Well, current head coach, former
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: Big Ten head coach Boston College. But yeah, I think
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: our depth chart seems fine. I agree. You look on
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: the defensive side, there's no surprises I don't like. I mean,
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: what is the biggest surprise on the depth chart that
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: doesn't seem like it could be a regular season game?
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: Maybe just a couple of the red shirt freshmen popping
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: up as second second stringers.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Yep, I mean that's what it is.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Which, honestly, I'm more excited to see some of
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: those guys, Like, obviously I want to win the ball game,
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: but it'd be you know, I can kind of see
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: with Graham Bricks looks like he was, you know, a
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: highly touted offensive line recruit. Like what does he looked
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: like after a year of sitting.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: A lot a lot about these ball games. They've seen
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: what you got coming in next year too, Like, I mean,
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: the good part about it is, like you said, BOSCN
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: just does not have my high playing offense at all.
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: And I who's in playing quarterback for them because Castiano
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: is transferred.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: It's the guy who started the last couple of games
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: for them.
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: You didn't do your research for the podcast, did you know?
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: I did not.
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: That's all I looked at.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Games. Will be the starting quarterback for him.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: He's thrown for about a thousand yards on the year,
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: sixty four completion percent, six touchdowns, two picks, so he's
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: only started the past couple of games. He's not the
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: running threat that Thomas Castillanos was when he was starting
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: at quarterback. But they do have four guys that have
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: all rushed for over two hundred yards at running back.
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: They they've rotated these guys a lot. The leader is
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Kyle Robashik. He's rushed for seven hundred yards in the year,
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: ten touchdowns. He's going to be the guy to key
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: in on on the defensive side of the ball, but
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: they do they want to establish the run early and
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: and it's gonna be led by by Robochick there at
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: the running back position. Grayson James is going to be
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: your typical Big ten quarterback's He's he's not gonna be flashy,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: but our defenses make these guys look a lot better than.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: They typically are.
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Their offense scores twenty nine point three points a game,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: that ranks them about right smack dab in the middle,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: sixtieth in the country. They pass for one hundred and
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: ninety one yards one hundred and sixth and then one
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: hundred and seventy six rushing yards per game, which puts
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: him at forty seventh.
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: So that gives you a high.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Level overview of what they what they want to do
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: on offense. But it's a ball game, you have. I
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: feel like we've had an eternity to prepare for a
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: game like this. I guess we don't really know because
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: we've never been in a game like this, but it
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: just feels like it's been a long time without playing
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: a game, and you're gonna see wrinkles and different things
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: that both teams are gonna try to do.
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: I just don't know how good of a team Boston
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: College was this year. I mean they're seven to five,
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: but you look at there, it's like they beat Florida State.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: But this is before we do. Florida State sucked. They
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: hung Missouri, They almost beat Missouri. Yeah, like they were
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: right there against Missouri. They beat Michigan State, which I
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: mean big ten t none that they were good. Yeah,
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: they hung with us. You only lost by ten beat
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: North Carolina, beat Pitt beat Syracuse. Like those aren't bad wins,
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: but so.
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: They'll they'll be a really good test here. I can't
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: believe that line is moving in that direction. I figured
• 17:35
  Speaker 5: it moved down because it was moving down because what
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: it started out four and a half when it first
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: when the ball game first got announced, I think, and
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: then then dropped down two and a half. I thought,
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: didn't keep on moving towards Boston College.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: But the only loss that they had to a team
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: that didn't make a bull game was the Virginia. Yeah,
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: so their schedule, it's not like it's the flashiest, but
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: they do have some decent wins there as well. It
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: let's be real, you get what you're gonna get when
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: you're six and six and you're seven and five, like
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: this is the bowl game. You get two teams never
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: played each other from Power five conferences. You know, first
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: year head coach Bill O'Brien. You mentioned a guy that
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: we looked at as a candidate before we were wanted.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: We were we were excited about and I've always liked
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Bill O'Brien teams, and and you know this offense is
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: that he coached Alabama. I just I think he's a
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: tough minded has the right style of of a football
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: coach that I tend to agree with, so he it's
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: gonna be. I don't expect this game to be a blowout,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: and either way, I actually expected to be kind of
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: a low scoring, grinded game for the most part.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: Do we know what the weather is supposed to be?
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Like I heard grain, I heard some rain changed, so
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure that benefits anybody.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: It says thirty nine and cloudy right now. Okay, so
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: nothing nothing too crazy, but you can get in right
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: now forty five bucks.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Forty five bucks, get in the stadium.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: Do you think there'll be a lot of Husker fans
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: going to this I would imagine because it's been so long, but.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: It's also not like a place that old people want
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: to go to. No, I think it's I think there's
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: a lot of Husker fans in New York. I think
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: just from old regime. There's just probably a good Fari show.
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: I don't I don't think Boston call, I mean Boscotch
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: is up the road. I don't think they're gonna bring
• 19:39
  Speaker 5: that many people there though, Like it'll be probably eighty
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: twenty Husker fans there.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll see. I'll be I'll be curious what who
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: shows up.
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: I think there will be a lot, just because we
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: haven't been in a while and New York City is
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: a place that you can make a extra few days.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: And I know, like the team went out early and
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: to get prepared. I think they're practicing in Central Park today,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: which is kind of cool. I know there's gonna be
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of things for fans to do that want
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: to go out there, so I would expect there to
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: be some things. I know people are complaining about the weather,
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: but it's not like it's that much different than what
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: we're used to in the Midwest.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: I just don't want to burn vacation in December to
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: go to a colder place, you know.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Flipping over other side of the ball.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: Boston College very average defensively too, right in the middle
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: on all of their passing rushing points. The big thing
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: to note here is Donovan as a ROKU. He's the
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: leading sack player in the country, has the most sacks
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: in the country of any other player. He's their leading
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: tackler as well, with eighty total tackles. He is not
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: playing to prepare for the NFL.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: It's yeah, player of the year, not playing great, thank you, Yes.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: Like we'll take it.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Yeah, more than half their sacks, yeah, I mean.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: He has like almost yeah, he has half of their
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: sacks here, I say.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: The next highest guy in sacks is is Quintavious Hutcheons
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: with three and a half.
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: So like.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: That's a big breath of the year when it comes
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: to what we're gonna do on offense. A lot of
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: talk with Dana this week and last week just about
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: the future, mainly with the transfer portal. I'll be curious
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: with now more weeks of practice, we're not all game week,
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: game week, game week, And Dana mentioned it, like we
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: had nine basically camp type practices before we had to
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: get the game week. And he said that is not
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: anything he's used to either. When you play in a
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: bowl game, normally you're out recruiting, you're on the road.
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: It just doesn't happen as much anymore. With the portal
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: and now obviously being able to do everything virtually, so
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: he's had a lot more time now to install some
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: of the things that he probably sees that will be
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: good for this game but also for the future. And
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: he said it he doesn't. He doesn't want to go
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: four or five wide. I think that kind of tells
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: and some of that might be playing to the fans
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: emotions too, but I think that's also talking about what
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: style and personnel identity that he wants to show as
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: not that's coordinator in with Dylan. I'll say this with Dylan,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: he needs to be more mobile, at least a little bit,
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: and probably lose a little weight. And I'm sure we'll
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: hear it come August that he's looking better and slimmer
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: and able to move like that's just that's what all happened.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: But I think that's probably a direction that we need
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: to go. Might maybe we'll see some of this game,
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: maybe we won't, but I think that's one big enhancement
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: that needs to be made before next year.
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess, I don't know. I feel like there
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: are other enhancements to be made before then, but I
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: guess I don't know if the mobility is the I mean,
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: it's definitely a rinkle. I understand what you're saying, and
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: I agreed we needed that so for certain games, I
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: don't know if this is one of those games.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying run for ten ten times a game.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying in the pocket to be able to
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: be elusive a little bit.
• 23:26
  Speaker 5: Like make the defense worry about it a little bit.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: Yep, last thing on the offense, and actually we'll do that.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: We can do this now before we do our score predictions.
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: Any any Christmas wish list gifts for the Huskers.
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Give me a good, big old left tackle man.
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: That was that's on top of my list is offensive lineman.
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: It does frustrate me because until Rule said it the
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: other day, no one wants to talking about how we
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: offensive lineman, how we need to get Now now he said.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Everybody's like, yeah, that's right, we need an offensive lineman.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: We are still the most important position on the field
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: in my mind, maybe outside of quarterback, but I still
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: think we've seen you have a good quarterback.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: If your offensive line shitty, it ain't gonna be good.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: So let's let's let's find a couple of offensive linemen
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: in the portals. Let's pay him some dollars and get
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: them here. And they're not as prevalent.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: In the transfort. I don't know if that's just the
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: type of individual who's an offensive lineman, but there's just
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: not a lot of Yeah, like big name offensive lineman
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: who entered the portal. I don't know if that's a
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: factor of like they work in a line so like
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: it's a team of five, so you feel a little
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: more connected to your team and your development and your coach.
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: I don't know that's an observation. I was gonna mention too.
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: It's just and when there is a really good when
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: it comes out, everybody goes after him like it's it's
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: you just won't find a alid offensive lineman. That often
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: the portal that will come to Amasize, Obama, Georgia and
• 25:04
  Speaker 5: all those schools, like it's hard to find recruiting is
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: where you get your offensive lineman. More.
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: That's the rule of saying. You said the best way
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: to develop to get an offensive lineman is you want
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: to get them, redshirt them a year and then by
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: year three have them started.
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: Which is do you guys think in the portal why
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: it's harder. It's because they those linemen get developed with
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: the same coaches and they just want to stay there
• 25:27
  Speaker 5: since they've been a freshman or wivenan I mean and
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: them leaving.
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: I mean they're in a ton of offensive linemen that
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: get a few snaps, you know, like your starters start.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: You don't really rotate your offensive lineman during the game
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: like you do the defensive line. So if you're not
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: seeing any any like oh, this guy showed some flashes,
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: unless someone gets hurt.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a lot of what you said, Austin.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: In the mindset the type of players and offensive lineman are.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I just think they're they're very just the good ones.
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: You know they're they're they're tough minded, they want to
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: and also offensive lineman. You don't talk about development as
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: far as your body and your physique when you get
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: to college, Like these kids are still growing by the
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: time they get to college, and that's why you'll see
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: players put on someone much muscle and change their bodies
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: from when they come in as freshmen to when they
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: leave as seniors. When you're skill players, a lot of times,
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: I think it's a very different type of sculpting your
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: body for that position. I don't think you're wanting, obviously
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: to put on twenty pounds as a wide receiver or
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the offensive linemen. You see guys that are built their
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: mindset's built more for the long term process of this
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: is what we're.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Doing with you.
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: You're coming in as a freshman sophomore. By the time
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: you're a junior, this is when you're going to be
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: at your peak.
• 26:54
  Speaker 4: I think that's kind of the message you're in the
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: program at that point, like you're like, I've admitted to
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: this pro We're gonna like if I stop now, I
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: might mess up my whole trajectory.
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: That that's that's my thought on it. When when when
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: when you're receiver, you're just like, well, I'm gonna get used.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: If I don't get us, I'm gonna get pissed, and
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna leave ja.
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: Corey is probably gonna look pretty similar physically his senior
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: year as he is this year. It might be a
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: little taller and a little bit thicker, but it's gonna
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: be pretty close.
• 27:26
  Speaker 5: Isn't that one more thing that I really need is
• 27:29
  Speaker 5: a big wide receiver. I feel like like a guy
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: that possession wide receiver. Basically, I feel like there's just
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: not that much height on the wide receiver depth chart.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: And and that's what we talked about this before you
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: got on back because you're late and couldn't figure how
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: to get your own time with some of the receivers.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: That we're getting the Hunter kid, and there's another one
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: that coming from Kentucky that we think were potentially the
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: top top target for dan Key I think is his name.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: So I think those are two guys that you know,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: will hopefully help impact that room. But I think there's
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: still a lot of guys there that are are going
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: to still help us young guys. I mean, you want
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: to look at the well Dak's guy, Isaiah Garcia cast
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: today is gone.
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: He's probably come back. He once he got five more
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: years left.
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: But I mean we're gonna get guys like uh, you know,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: Jayleen Lloyd's coming back to someone that didn't see a
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: lot of snaps potentially, and we got Alex Follock. It
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: feels like he's been here forever, but he's still around.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: Not that we want him starting, but I agree getting
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: a couple of playmakers guys that we can get excited
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: for there.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: That'll help.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: Well, you thought you thought you have that nair this
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: year and that didn't work out. I don't like, I
• 28:48
  Speaker 5: thought it was gonna be a lot better than he did.
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: He was okay, not they.
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Were good, not over the top.
• 28:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, well that's that's what we thought. He would be like,
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: and I he is not.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: I just don't think he was used properly the first
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: games of the year.
• 29:08
  Speaker 5: To me a little drop an eye when I heard
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: a little bit.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: But yeah, uh score predictions before we do that ull
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: trivia question. Nebraska has played in fifty three bowl games
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: in its history. What is our bowl game? You gotta
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: be like thirty nine fourteen?
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: Said that up?
• 29:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's fifty three, thirty five and what okay, I
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: thirty five, give me fifty three?
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: Keep going Nope, you got it, you got.
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: It, thirty five, thirty five and twenty eight close. You're
• 30:05
  Speaker 5: about ten of thirty five eighteen.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: Uh, my guess would have been around there too. We
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: are twenty six and twenty seven.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Wow, we are sub five hundred. I would not have
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: thought that. Another fun note is last time we played
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: in a bowl game in New York City nineteen sixty
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: two in the Gotham ball that's a cool bull name.
• 30:31
  Speaker 5: Yeah, see that they messed up. That's what this one
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: should be called. What was the last ball game? Huskars
• 30:37
  Speaker 5: are we're in? I can't even remember what it was.
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: Music were saying it was U E c LA.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: Was it a music city? Bowl in CLA.
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
• 30:49
  Speaker 5: For some reason, I was thinking Georgia wasn't it.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: We played Tennessee at some point and Georgia, It, guys,
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: is bad that we can't even like figure this out.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: It was Tennessee in the twenty sixteen Music City Bowl
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: against we lost thirty eight twenty four in twenty fifteens
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: when we played UCLA and the Foster Farms Bowl.
• 31:15
  Speaker 6: That's what I'm as our last Okay, yeah, that's.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: So losing to Rocky top back in twenty sixteen. Score
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: predictions for the game.
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: Friends, three and a half. Don't take it, don't take Nebraska.
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: I guess I would definitely I'm gonna go twenty for
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: twenty one. Ne Brass, Oh boy, I don't like that. Though.
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: It is worth pointing out that Boston College has only
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: attempted attempted four field goals the entire season. That's how
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: bad they're really.
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: They don't trust it, that's they.
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: Just I apparently it's the bad kicking unit.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, I've heard both teams struggle with the kicking game.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: That being said, we lose in a walkoff field goal
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: seventeen to sixteen.
• 32:15
  Speaker 5: I've got to go high scoring right at the end
• 32:16
  Speaker 5: of the year I've done every other game.
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: You know, it's very possible, like Bill O'Brien could put
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: together a good game plan and kill us.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'd be more worried if Castis is the quarterback.
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: But screw it. I'll go thirty eight, thirty eight, thirty
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: one Huskers. Every other game I've been out for like
• 32:38
  Speaker 5: fifty points, so we'll keep going.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Back.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: Before we move on, I'll give you a little bit
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: of time for Oklahoma's game against Navy that you probably
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: know nothing about.
• 32:51
  Speaker 5: Well, they're fair by three right now, prosing no spread.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Just like Nebraska game.
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: A bunch of transfers. We are playing our frekman quarterback.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: I like to see what he looks like because the
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: first game play I thought it was awesome, and they
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: came in against South Carolina through three straight pick sixes
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: and that was the end of him. It never saw
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: him since. But yeah, you always are worried about playing
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: triple option. The good part is though, you get three weeks,
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: two or three weeks to pay for it. So I
• 33:22
  Speaker 5: think take Okahma spread on that thirty eight to twenty
• 33:25
  Speaker 5: Oklahoma and he's beat name, he's beat down after that
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: lost Army, I'm surprised. I'm surprised the freshman quarterback stand
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: though with a bringing in transfer. Maybe I'll go to Nebraska.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Any thoughts comments from the week one of the college
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: football playoffs, four blowouts, that's been the top of the town.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: But people were, I guess, hoping that maybe that last
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: game would be closer and it wasn't.
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: That.
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: What what is your weekend reaction to the first round
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: in the college football Playoffs in general?
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: Well, I did end up taking every single underdog, not
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: even close on any of those, Like the one on
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: the one I was most confident in was Tennessee and
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: that was the worst one yet. Like so I lost
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: all three of them and then going to Tennessee, I'm like, guys,
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: this is the one and it just was worse. That was.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: I don't know, I they all were. They all are
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: ass kickings, and I don't know, do you think home
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: Field had a lot to do with it or just
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: those teams are just that much better than what.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: Do you think?
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: I think? God, I think the turnovers had a lot
• 34:55
  Speaker 5: to do in the SMU game, Like they they're moving
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: the ball on stake quite a bit, but they turned
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: over too much. Tennessee. I just don't think they're that good. Honestly,
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: their offense is a disaster, and I should have known
• 35:09
  Speaker 5: that going into it. They were not. Their offense has
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: not been great besides when they played nobody, So I
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: don't know. I think I think Ohio State haslready come
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: out and kill somebody after the Michigan lost, which is
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: which is either the way I thought it was gonna go,
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: either they weren't coming like that or just completely give
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: up on the air. Then the other two Indiana I
• 35:27
  Speaker 5: think it was turnovers too was the problem. And then
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: Clemson Texas. I think Texas just better than Clemson.
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: So you don't think it was on field advantage, no,
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: I mean the better teams won. I wasn't shocked because
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: twelve teams is just a lot of teams, Like we've
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: only been having four. Is it that surprising that after
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: the top eight there's a drop off and talent? I
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: didn't think so. I think we all kind of thought
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: this year had a little bit more parody. But I
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: mean outside of like, what other team do you think
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: would have been consistently done well against any of those
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: other teams?
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Like that's my big thing, like, what what's the overall
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: goal of the playoff?
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: Right?
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: What's the goal?
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: What is it?
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: It's to make sure the best team wins national championship.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Like that is what you want from whatever format you're getting.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: I don't care if that means adding more games in
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: the beginning of it, Like, who cares? I think those
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: teams deserve a shot, right, Like, give SMU a shot.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: Through the regular season, and that is their shot. They
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: got blown out. We move on next week. It'll be
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: they'll be better games. All four games.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: Well, I was listening. I was listening to podcasts and
• 36:53
  Speaker 5: they were saying, would you rather because people are complain
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: about how how crappy the games work, would you rather
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: then play that playoff game? Or or them asking you
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: go with the Peach Bowl, like you have a shot
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: to play it out.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: I saw it was the first time that Clemson hasn't
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: made a ball game in so many years or something.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: I thought that was kind of funny because they're technically
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: not counting in a ball game streaks.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: I thought.
• 37:19
  Speaker 5: I thought they were the one that hung in the
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: most out of all those four games.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean they tried.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: It would have been hilarious if Nebraska was a top
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: twelve seed and we didn't make it to a ball
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: game and extended our ball game drought just to lose
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: in the twelve five matchup, that would have been ideal.
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: I think it's good for college football. I think.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: The home crowds, the environments were just awesome. Yep, YEAHD
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: four Stadium. We talked about this last week. I mean,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: you can't get a whole lot better than that as
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: far as home games. And yeah, like the better teams
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: won and they proved that they won. I think people
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: could have doubted all four of those teams some sense
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: to act out at all.
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: Four of them.
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: So just them going out there and saying no, like
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: we're one of the top eight. Now where it gets
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: maybe a little bit hairy and people are a little
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: bit upset is now with the seeding and how it
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: worked out with one through four. A team like Ohio
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: or Oregon now is to play Ohio State versus playing
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: somebody else, which for this year, you know what it is,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: what it is like.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: Let's yeah, Like but you say that in Ohio State
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: lost to Michigan, they almost got beat by Nebraska, Like
• 38:33
  Speaker 4: you know, Ohio State looks.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: Beautible like correct, and and there you're saying now that well,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: if you're Oregon, you'd rather play who I guess I
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: mean on any of those teams are in a state
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: Arizona State or Boys State?
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: Who are.
• 38:48
  Speaker 5: They in? Big Boys State? By three? So it's not like, yeah,
• 38:53
  Speaker 5: you hear all these organ fans can plain in like
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: that they should be playing Boys State, that they've already
• 38:59
  Speaker 5: played it and they play in my home three point game, Like,
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: it's not like it's that much different.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: So one one, like, I do think it'll it's gonna change,
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: maybe not next year but the year after soon.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure what they're gonna do.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I did like this concept though, and the NFL kind
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: of does something like this, but not quite. Take these
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: eight teams now, now it still give the buys to
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: to but now reseed it one through eight. Now, now
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: take your playoff rankings and reset it one through eight.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: You still you still got to buy if you want
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: airs in the state Boise State, congrats, but now reset
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: it and now it's an eighteen bracket and and you're
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: going from here. I kind of like that idea, but
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: again it's not like it it makes it.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: To me any less intriguing, right, It.
• 39:50
  Speaker 4: Just you want to be a championship when your games. Yeah,
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: you know, like I just hope that they don't learn
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: the wrong lesson and be like, you're right, we should
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: have put Alabama in, you know, like s m U
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: it should have been in Alabama.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: Oh, we're gonna hear that though we've already heard it.
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but there's one more so the fourteen playoff. Yeah,
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: it's not like those games are great either. You guys,
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: remember how many blowouts have been. Yep, there's there's been
• 40:22
  Speaker 5: like a handful of good games on the fourteen playoffs.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: You're right, And I think in past years we've we
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: have had them gonna say, elite team, but a great team.
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: You know that they have been up there.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: But like this year, I don't know that if it
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: was a fourteen playoff we would have gotten any blowouts.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you're right as far as what it has
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: been historically, it's just funny now I think instead of
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: there being one or two like teams that could win
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: it in previous years, now there's like eight and I
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: think we've probably got the eight maybe not even eight,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: set seven or six, but I think we got those
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: now where we're at, and they in the twelve team
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: playoff bracket.
• 41:02
  Speaker 5: I mean OLPAOL LSC is one of the best games
• 41:04
  Speaker 5: they ever played, right mm hmm.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 41:09
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Nebraska volleyball, Yeah, heartbreaker, heartbreaker, it was it hurt reverse
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: swept by Penn State on Thursday. Then Penn State went
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: on to be Louisville, who had their best player banged
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: up and out on Sunday.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I I it did hurt.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: It sucked.
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: It's hard.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: It's hard to point fingers or say, you know, be
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: mad at anything. But because we made another final four.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: Just listen to pregame podcast, it's like, oh hu, I'm Nebraska.
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: Another Final four.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: But man, it would be nice to win a couple
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: more now that we're here. And it's not a lot
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: of talent when you you know, I still hate talking
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: about recruits and and the and the stars, especially in
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: a sport like volleyball that gets a lot less coverage,
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: but we do. We've had the most the highest rating
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: recruiting recruiting class for how many years in a row now.
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: But yeah, we still won't win the national title, but
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: we're still competing for one every year. It'd just be
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: nice to get one done and bring this up with
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: John Cook and and he's a he's one of the
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: greatest ever to do it, if not the greatest volleyball
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: coach in college volleyball. And Sam McEwan had an interesting
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: comment and take that just got blown out of everywhere
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: and basically said, well, yeah, when you say when you
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: have all that talent, you sit on a chair.
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: You don't have to do anything.
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: That was that was the high level of comment.
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: And I bring this up just because of the fact
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: that I have a couple of friends and people that
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: strongly agree with this take. There's also people that throw
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: it under the water and just think it's absurd.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not there. I'm not on either end of it.
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: I'm in the middle. But just wanted to hear your
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: guys' reactions to that.
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: And I guess the end of the volleyball season not
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: winning an international title, which, like you said, heartbroken but.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: Didn't get it done.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: Again, like where your heads are at, our thoughts are
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: in the brasket volleyball deck, let's.
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: Go with you. You're just gonna be pretty quick.
• 43:31
  Speaker 5: I imagine that's just in insane take. I mean, you
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: got to there's no way that he just sits there
• 43:42
  Speaker 5: and does nothing, like no game plan on nothing, just
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: sits there and claps like what I like best, the
• 43:50
  Speaker 5: best coach of all time, And you're gonna say that's
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: way he does. I can't believe, you know, people that
• 43:54
  Speaker 5: agree with that, Like he obviously has to drop game plans,
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: you scouting all this stuff, and plus get the recruits,
• 44:01
  Speaker 5: which is what he's kind of saying. But yeah, that's
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: I think that's one of the dumbest takes overheard my life.
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: I think the game nothing.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, when I first heard it, I thought it was
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: taken because I read the title and I was like,
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: that's clearly taken out of context, Like there's no way.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Sam came out and said that definitely listen to it.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: He not only double he like triples down on it.
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: And he's like no, like yeah, you sure, like you
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: really don't have to do this, Like we're you don't
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: have to do this. He's like no, And I think
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: it's a bad take. I think, one, what the fuck, Sam,
• 44:44
  Speaker 4: We've had Scott Brost as a freaking head coach and
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: you said jack shit about that guy and the volleyball
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: coach losenes to the final core and you're like, that
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: guy's not a good coach. Dude, what the hell like
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: be a reporter for all the sports? Okay, that was he.
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: Said that before the final four of those. Ay it
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: might have been. Yeah, you're right, like like it wasn't
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: after the loss, it was going into the final Agree,
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: I guess.
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like, okay, dude, like this off two, I
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: think you're undervaluing the structure that Cook puts into the
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: program and his coaching staff, and yes, the game plan
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: and yes he does have a lot of talent and yes,
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: but did anyone ever be like, man Saban's not a
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: good coach because he has a bunch of five star
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: players on his team. No, because that's freaking insane, even
• 45:31
  Speaker 4: though you have your coordinators probably doing most of the work. Anyways,
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: I mean that's kind of the gist of coaching, is
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: at that, at the head coach level, you're more than
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: just x's and o's bad take tough loss. Yeah, I
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: feel like you had it locked up when we're up
• 45:54
  Speaker 4: to Oh he really did?
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if I did, I wrote it off in my
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: head already.
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: I'm like, it's over over.
• 46:02
  Speaker 4: I agree. I had the same thought which is good
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: to have. I agree, it'd be nice to win another one,
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: but it's hard. I mean, single elimination tournaments. It's just
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: a lot of games that I understand. It's difficult. And
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: we've lost our last three title games and haven't been
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: there since. I haven't won since twenty seventeen, so I
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: mean that's been seven years. But seven years be national
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: titles is not. I mean, it's not unheard of, especially
• 46:31
  Speaker 4: when we're competitive in all of them. But yeah, it'd
• 46:33
  Speaker 4: be nice to win one. And this was the team
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: you felt like we had we could do it. I
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: think that's why it stings the most. It wasn't like
• 46:38
  Speaker 4: we overachieved this year. It's like our team's fucking good.
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: Let's see Rodriguez as a senior, and we're just you
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: just I just really wanted it and we didn't get it.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: So here's the.
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: Negative, pessimistic Sam McEwan and type people. What they would
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: say is that we did have all the talent, and
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: we've had very talented teams and this maybe was one
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: of the most talented teams when you want to look
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: at what we had. Have also laughed and heard that,
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: you know, the most unsafe spot to be as a
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: starter for Nebraska volleyball because think about some of these
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: players that come in and like I mean, it is
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: we bring in talent year after year, and in the
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: sophomores like Lindsey Crowsey didn't play a single.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: Play at all, So it is we do have so
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: much talent.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: And that's where you say, well, man, if we have
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: the number one recruiting class for how many years in
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: a row, but yeah, we can't win one? What does
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: that say? Like, what does that say about John Cook?
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: What does that say about the program? I get that
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: side of it. But here's the thing. Just because you
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: have the number one recruiting class doesn't guarantee a national title.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: And I've said that for years. I guess what else
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: could you want? Yes, I agree you could. We should
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: maybe win a couple, and you know, you win this year,
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: you're probably feeling. Okay, Alabama and like you mentioned before, Austin,
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: you know, had the number one recruiting class. And I
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: put this up a year ago because I people were
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: making these same kind of comments and I'm like, Okay,
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: Alabama had the number one recruiting class, number one or
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: two for like twelve years in a row. And they
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: ended up with I believe three national titles from like
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: eight to ninety it was something like that.
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: That's in a system where you don't have to win
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: a tournament, that is a you've been selected to play
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: in a national title game.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I mean that's a comparison there.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: We're like, okay, yeah, I get like Alabama's called a
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: hit record, a winning a national title record.
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: Maybe it was four national tech titles. I don't remember.
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: The exact stat is a little higher than what Nebraska's
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: hit record for winning national title it is. And so yeah,
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: you could argue we should be winning more that that.
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: That's fair. That's a fair statement that we probably.
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: Should be six and twenty four years is that right?
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know the exact ext.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: It's almost the exact same hit record.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: So I get that with talented teams, you want you
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: want to say that, But at the same time, I
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: that's not a to me, that's not a.
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: Maybe it is an in game coaching thing. I don't know.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: But as far as John Cook and the comments made
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: about that, I will this is this is the extent
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: I'm agreeing with Sam Volleyball in game coaching and scheming,
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: and I don't know much about volleyball. I can't imagine
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: is as intricate and in depth as the sports that
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: more common sports.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: We talk about basketball, football, now baseball. I don't know.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: He gives up on a play by play. You are
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: in a system.
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: It's a very different style of in game coaching. It's
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: a very different level of adjustments. When it comes to
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: the sport of substitutions, it is different. I don't think
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: it is as much as these other sports. So to
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: that point, yeah, Sam, maybe is a little bit right
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: where you do sit on a chair a lot of
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: times because you're not actively adjusting.
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: But it's not like it.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: It's not the extreme that he made it sound like,
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: and that was the impression it came off of it.
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: It's not that extreme. At the same time, too, behind
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: the scenes and you guys have both touched on it.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Your recruiting is a product of the program and the
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: head coach. Some people say the assistant coaches do all
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: the work for John Cook. Maybe they do, but it's
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: John Cook that's the one in charge and assigning and
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: hiring the assistant coaches, keeping them here, keeping them a
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: part of the culture. The players respecting these assistant coaches.
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: And it all stems to the entire word you said,
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: Austin's system, entire culture. That's where as far as the
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: one of the greatest coaches of all time, that's where
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: that all stems from. In game coaching, I get it there.
• 50:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a whole a lot to
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: do when you when you get to a game. There
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: is definitely scheming, but you're not you're not adjusting, constantly involved,
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: at least from my knowledge, I don't.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. I think you're just implementing different systems
• 51:12
  Speaker 4: to counteract to their current system. But you aren't like, hey,
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: you need to do this. It's like, hey, we're going
• 51:18
  Speaker 4: to do this, and you all know what to do
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: because you're smart, talented volleyball players.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: So then you say it comes down to a mindset,
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: it comes down to the toughness or whatever. And I
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: will say, the fifth set against Penn State, we did
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: not look good, like we look bad, And so I
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: guess could you say, well that falls on coaching, Yeah
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: you could, you definitely could. You're also playing another team
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: that's very talented, and also, like people were saying, well
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: we have four all Americans Yep, guess who else and
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: four all Americans Penn State or Pittsburgh. Penn State had three,
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: So it's not like we're playing bogo teams. They're all
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: the one seeds. Penn State also had a coach, you know,
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: for cancer. There's there's just there's a lot. The other
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: teams have stuff too, and you're playing another damn good
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: volleyball team. Yeah, maybe we had the number one recruiting
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: class last year, but Penn State still had a top
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: ten recruiting class.
• 52:09
  Speaker 5: Like it.
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: That's people are always like, man, recruiting grades are kind
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: of bs like, I mean, that's a pretty and.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: That is what I think too.
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: It is a developed I've always but it's just it's
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: just funny to hear everybody's reactions about volleyball, and I
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: think when it comes to volleyball in the state, being
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: a girls basketball coach, volleyball has a very negative impact
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: for multiple reasons. So if I separate my mind from
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: the girls basketball standpoint and just look at it from
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: a Husker fans standpoint, it's different. But I do think
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: everything that goes on with with club volleyball and volleyball
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: in the state it hurts basketball and we're seeing it
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: in numbers. That part of me gets me a little
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: bit less discouraged or not saying I ever hope for
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: us to lose. But it's like, man, like all those
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: momentum the Husker volleyball gets you just you're drawing girls
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: away from basketball. So I have a little personal bias
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: there when it comes to that. But as far as
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: just Husker sports in general and being a fan of that,
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: you can't argue with the success that they've had year
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: in and year out.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: I just sometimes Nebraska media, man, just we had Scott Frost,
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: you know, and all the stories, any reporting from Sam
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: that was any negative stuff, No, we got nothing. It's
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: like everything's okay, we couldn't prove this, but boy, John Cook,
• 53:37
  Speaker 4: that guy, It's just it didn't need to be said.
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: And when you have an opportunity to like clarify, like
• 53:44
  Speaker 4: and I agree, like in game it looks like he's
• 53:47
  Speaker 4: not doing a whole lot, But when you have an
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: opportunity to clarify, be like, yes, I'm sure he's doing
• 53:51
  Speaker 4: a lot behind the scenes, He's like, nah, he just
• 53:53
  Speaker 4: freaking just kept doubly down. It's like you are just
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: a freaking idiot.
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: I don't I don't know lick about blackball. This is
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: what it reminds me of John cal Perry and basketball
• 54:05
  Speaker 5: with get all these five stars on his team, and
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: it's just like woball to win or go home situation
• 54:09
  Speaker 5: from the tournaments and he he won a couple of
• 54:13
  Speaker 5: times with him too, but he would always fail out
• 54:15
  Speaker 5: the end. I guess he got fired for it. But
• 54:18
  Speaker 5: he made that that's.
• 54:20
  Speaker 4: Just coming. That's true. Cal Perry did not make it
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: as far as John Cook did. Any don't know rest
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: of me.
• 54:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't guy, you can complain about going the
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: Planal four either, like you fire him, We're going to
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: get this better right now, like.
• 54:33
  Speaker 3: And I'm not. I don't think anybody really is saying
• 54:36
  Speaker 3: fire him.
• 54:37
  Speaker 5: Well, but why say that, like as a medium, it's
• 54:41
  Speaker 5: just it's because it's not it's not even constructive.
• 54:44
  Speaker 4: Like if you were like actually upset at something he
• 54:46
  Speaker 4: was doing that you felt was negatively impacting the program,
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: you are more like, but that was just a poor,
• 54:54
  Speaker 4: poor criticism.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm curious if anything will come out of it.
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: I haven't heard any reaction to it from the actual team.
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: I know there's social media reaction to saying that Sam
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: should get fired for this and YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 55:08
  Speaker 4: No, but I mean you gotta be smarter than that. Yeah,
• 55:13
  Speaker 4: Like what a dumb take for in the volleyball state.
• 55:16
  Speaker 4: What a dumb tape for.
• 55:18
  Speaker 5: Someone trippling down to Dick Because I was like, maybe
• 55:22
  Speaker 5: he didn't mean what? Actually?
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: No? He?
• 55:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: All right, last topic here, Nebraska basketball, Uh doing well,
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: playing well. We played Hawaii here in a couple hours
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: dip off from Honolulu. We played the if we win,
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: we played the winner of I believe it's Oakland and
• 55:47
  Speaker 2: Oregon State, and then we lose played a loser of that.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: We played Murray State last night and I believe it
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: was at twenty two to four or one point early on. Defensively,
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: played very very well, won the game in sixty six
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: forty nine low scoring. We did have a lot of turnovers,
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: but Connor season hits five threes, Andrew Morgan looks very
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: very good in the post against the undersized Murray State team,
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: and we get out of there at about a.
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: Twenty point wins.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: So two more non conference games well, I guess a
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: third against Southern University here next week. But you know,
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: I think if you come out of with wins and
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: all these games, you're sitting pretty good here. I'm heading
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: into conference play. Somebody asked me the other day, you know,
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: what does Nebraska need to do from here on till
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: the end to make the NCAA tournament, And I said,
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: I said, first thing is is get out of here,
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: you know, finish the non conference undefeated. But I don't
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: think Oregon State said a gimme, and I don't think
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Hawaii's a gimme tonight in Oakland either, So I think
• 56:56
  Speaker 2: there's still two tough games here that we got to
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: finish out. And then I agree, go five hundred and
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: the Big Ten, and you're sitting good with the non
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: conference schedule, you slip up one of these, I think
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: you got to.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: You gotta may prove yourself a little more in the
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: Big Ten.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: But I think we're sitting in a good spot right
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: now with this team that we really didn't know and
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: still are figuring out the different pieces and what works
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: what's not. What's been encouraging for me is how we defend,
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: and two, how multiple we can be on offense. And
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: that second part, the first part I kind of thought
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: would we'd be pretty solid at the second part was
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: very concerning. Early on in the year, We've shown to
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: have multiple guys be able to be the bucket getters,
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: and I think that's very important when we get to
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: Big ten play, and even when Andrew Morgan can shine
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: in a couple of games, I think that's that's huge
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: for how teams are going to defend us and scout
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: us in Connor season. Shooting the ball well, that was
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: also one thing we didn't know how that would end up.
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: So again, very very positive outlook here for the rest
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: of the year or so far into the year, and
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: then going into the rest of this tournament for the Oscars.
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: I've been impressed. I I honestly had lower expectations, and
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: again we're not beating great teams, but we're right. We
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: look good, like we look competent. It looks like we
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: can scale up to our opponents. We can scale and
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: we have scaled down to our opponents as well. But
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: it feels like a game plan that we could go
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: five hundred and the Big Ten to be a tournament team.
• 58:45
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're not. We're not going to crack a
• 58:48
  Speaker 4: top twelve seed by any means, but.
• 58:53
  Speaker 5: I feel all right, Yeah, season has been the real
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: key to this team because all those you need one
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: more score because Bryce is your main one. You need
• 59:03
  Speaker 5: one more score to get the shine off of him
• 59:05
  Speaker 5: and have people go defend other players. Because this team
• 59:08
  Speaker 5: I always going the year I thought was gonna be
• 59:11
  Speaker 5: a damn good defensive team. I just didn't know where
• 59:13
  Speaker 5: your scoring is gonna come from.
• 59:14
  Speaker 7: Well, you have him and then then you always get
• 59:18
  Speaker 7: your chip in from, like, oh you can joke and
• 59:23
  Speaker 7: sometimes get you something Morgan last night, like you have
• 59:26
  Speaker 7: some guys that that's all you need is those guys
• 59:28
  Speaker 7: chip in.
• 59:28
  Speaker 5: Then you need bryceon uh connor to go off. So
• 59:33
  Speaker 5: I think it's a really solid team. I I think
• 59:37
  Speaker 5: what's gonna hurt him though, is come like say they
• 59:40
  Speaker 5: make a tournament game, they're like, all your round's gonna
• 59:43
  Speaker 5: kill this team is they do have terrible scoring droughts,
• 59:46
  Speaker 5: Like if Bryson and Sagan aren't doing anything, they are
• 59:49
  Speaker 5: kind of screwed.
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: Like we can go four men without putting it, putting
• 59:52
  Speaker 4: it in a bucket.
• 59:54
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah easily with me Asa and you you're playing
• 59:58
  Speaker 5: four and five on offense. He doesn't do anything offense
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 5: but but yeah, tonight's game I read does count the
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 5: true road game. So here you go get the roll Bowls.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: Government Squad three road win tonight. That's that's the that's
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 3: the goal.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 5: It's gonna be rocking. What is it nine thirty two.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 4: Something like that.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 3: It's late.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 2: I think it's nine thirty it's the last one. I
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: think it's approximate. It just follows, you know, the previous
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 2: game and more than the last one tonight. So it's
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: five hour difference between here and Hawaii. But our time
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: is it's gonna start late. Dak's got to take some
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: caffeine here to stay up for it.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 5: I'll try to watch it all. We'll see. You've got
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 5: yourself a big game though, Hunter coming up here. Yeah,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 5: oh that's already going.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: Yep, touchdown Packers just as we speak.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 5: Seven No way, no way?
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: Who scored Wicks? Oh? Good?
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 5: Huh?
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: I heard I saw the other day that the Saints
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 3: are still in the hunt technically out yet?
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 5: Is it rat dog? And I to go back to han.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: It's rat dog?
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's right, yeah, he said, He said he doesn't
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: care about the cold.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 3: Weather doesn't affect him.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 5: He's honestly not like awful. Hater is just the worst
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 5: quarterback I ever saw in my life. Rattler is at
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 5: least confident.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 3: Which not huh, just because he went to.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 5: I mean you you've watch ye. He's not awful. He's
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 5: not awful, So I don't know how he was not great.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: At least he met him at the bar though the
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: night before the game.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 5: We did true story right there, and then Sadurfield changed
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 5: him at South Carolina.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: All right, well we'll be back next week after the
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 3: ball game. See if we can finish the year hot.
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 3: Don't really know what that feels like. You hang a banner,
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 3: I'm not going so I think that give us a
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 3: chance to win.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: Do we hang a banner?
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that's what we do in Yankee Stadium. Good
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: luck back here sooner's against the Navy Midshipman would be
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: a great one, all right. Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: New Year, Go big red, Merry Christmas.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 6: GBR, go big red Merry Christmas.

  Speaker 1: T
