- 0:16Speaker 3: For the Glory Podcast Hunters, Arminige, Austin Rose Dakota Free Tag.
- 0:22Speaker 4: Season eight podcast for Austin and I.
- 0:28Speaker 5: That's sobering. We're still living technical difficulties. I haven't figured
- 0:32Speaker 5: it out well.
- 0:33Speaker 4: We're making some adjustments this year.
- 0:36Speaker 5: Uh.
- 0:36Speaker 3: You know, Austin was a little bit late coming to
- 0:40Speaker 3: the show because he couldn't get Gmail to work.
- 0:42Speaker 4: And here's Steady Dack just.
- 0:47Speaker 3: First one on the call, causing the chaos on our
- 0:52Speaker 3: new daily podcast.
- 0:54Speaker 2: We're friendly back boys. We can wait for this moment.
- 0:59Speaker 4: Or paching things up. We are. We're gonna be doing
- 1:02Speaker 4: daily podcasts this year.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Uh. They're gonna be shorter, quicker, and to the point,
- 1:10Speaker 3: we may or may not all be on every podcast.
- 1:14Speaker 3: I'm gonna try to be present at least, but we're
- 1:18Speaker 3: gonna hit on topics more frequently here.
- 1:23Speaker 4: That way you can.
- 1:24Speaker 3: Get your daily dose of Husker sports. There's a few
- 1:27Speaker 3: other podcasts that do this. I think for us, Uh,
- 1:32Speaker 3: it's gonna keep us from going off track and hopefully
- 1:38Speaker 3: keep our interest level to a point where we want
- 1:41Speaker 3: to be for Husker football here this fall and then
- 1:47Speaker 3: Husker basketball. Our interest level is already high that has
- 1:50Speaker 3: not gone away since.
- 1:57Speaker 6: Yeah, we're not We're not even talking about football, are we?
- 1:59Speaker 6: We're only talking about back.
- 2:00Speaker 5: Mister Marcus Lawrence coming back and the scrimmage height Machine.
- 2:07Speaker 4: Are we a basketball podcast?
- 2:09Speaker 3: Should we change the title from return to glory because
- 2:11Speaker 3: now we've made glory for basketball?
- 2:14Speaker 2: Yes?
- 2:18Speaker 7: I mean, I'm pretty sure.
- 2:19Speaker 5: Once you make to see sixteen once, it's guarantee that's
- 2:22Speaker 5: kind of where you go every year. You're just an
- 2:25Speaker 5: annual sixteen contender.
- 2:30Speaker 3: Well, here's what's on the agenda today. There's been a
- 2:34Speaker 3: lot that's happened since April. I want to get a
- 2:38Speaker 3: little bit of a life update from you two and
- 2:42Speaker 3: then get your general take, some thoughts on where your
- 2:48Speaker 3: head's at and Husker football.
- 2:50Speaker 4: I might have a surprising unique take right now. So
- 2:54Speaker 4: I just want to get where your heads at.
- 2:56Speaker 3: Highlight maybe some of the key things that hit that
- 2:59Speaker 3: come to mind over the last couple of months with
- 3:02Speaker 3: the football season.
- 3:04Speaker 4: If you want to go basketball, go basketball. I'm not
- 3:06Speaker 4: stopping you. So awesome. Start with you.
- 3:11Speaker 5: Uh yeah, no, like nothing's changed since April, the last
- 3:16Speaker 5: three months literally the same things. Uh. I would love
- 3:22Speaker 5: to give a spicy life update, but there's nothing as
- 3:27Speaker 5: far as Huskers go. You know, I wrote that Basketball
- 3:34Speaker 5: High the documentary came out great, Watch is a little
- 3:38Speaker 5: you know, it's kind of what you expected to see.
- 3:42Speaker 7: And the offseason hype is not there this year.
- 3:46Speaker 5: You know, there's been some moves, but I mean even
- 3:50Speaker 5: you know, Matt Rule was, have they they did Big
- 3:53Speaker 5: Timmy the days, haven't they?
- 3:57Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, that's that's.
- 3:59Speaker 5: Literally the level of of hype that's going around.
- 4:04Speaker 7: Like the clips are slim view.
- 4:07Speaker 5: We added some running back that was at Penn State
- 4:11Speaker 5: and then at Juco and never played at Jukeco. And
- 4:16Speaker 5: you know then, I mean the grand scheme.
- 4:18Speaker 7: Of college football.
- 4:20Speaker 5: There's jersey patch sales that we weren't gonna do, and
- 4:23Speaker 5: then they released the new uniforms that sucked, and just
- 4:29Speaker 5: no one cares that much.
- 4:32Speaker 7: And I think it'll still come. I think it'll still come.
- 4:35Speaker 7: But boy, even and we had a.
- 4:38Speaker 5: Decent recruiting, like our our sign in class for twenty
- 4:42Speaker 5: twenty seven actually up coming together pretty nicely. So that's
- 4:47Speaker 5: my my my brief Oscar opinion from April to now
- 5:00Speaker 5: a popcorn it.
- 5:01Speaker 2: To dak.
- 5:03Speaker 6: You know what, I'm so as soon as the calendar
- 5:06Speaker 6: hits August, I get really hyped up for college football,
- 5:09Speaker 6: and I'm starting to drink the kool aid a lot
- 5:10Speaker 6: more than most people are. I'm I've been watching which
- 5:16Speaker 6: this always happens, but I've been watching a lot of
- 5:18Speaker 6: Calandra tape lately, and I'm actually pretty high on him.
- 5:22Speaker 2: I think.
- 5:24Speaker 6: As long as he just keeps the turnovers down, which
- 5:28Speaker 6: might not happened, but keeps him down, I think he's
- 5:30Speaker 6: a damn good quarterback.
- 5:32Speaker 4: Can you say our quarterback's name again?
- 5:34Speaker 2: Calandra?
- 5:36Speaker 7: Calandria?
- 5:40Speaker 4: This See this tells you where we're at.
- 5:42Speaker 6: Yeah, there's there's just this is at least amount of
- 5:48Speaker 6: hype coming into a host football season. Price since you
- 5:51Speaker 6: have the you guys have done the podcast like there's
- 5:55Speaker 6: there's no it'll get there, but.
- 5:58Speaker 3: It'll get there. We're less than a month out. You
- 6:01Speaker 3: think it will get there.
- 6:03Speaker 7: I don't think what it was.
- 6:07Speaker 2: I I don't know.
- 6:10Speaker 6: I just read an article last week. I was saying
- 6:12Speaker 6: that Nebraska might have the best defense in the nation,
- 6:15Speaker 6: which that's.
- 6:15Speaker 2: The most.
- 6:18Speaker 6: Who wrote I can't remember who wrote it, but it
- 6:21Speaker 6: was that's just not gonna happen. I think the team
- 6:26Speaker 6: will be a lot better than what a lot of
- 6:29Speaker 6: fans are thinking. Now the schedules, what does that mean?
- 6:38Speaker 6: Six seven wins?
- 6:40Speaker 4: That's better than what people will think.
- 6:42Speaker 6: Yeah, there's there's a lot of people out there thinking
- 6:44Speaker 6: like three or four wins.
- 6:48Speaker 3: I don't know who you're talking to. Here's my thought,
- 6:52Speaker 3: and this is just this is not me drinking the
- 6:55Speaker 3: kool aid.
- 6:57Speaker 2: We have.
- 6:58Speaker 4: We have Dak who's still waking up this morning and
- 7:01Speaker 4: can't figure out to talk. So that's good.
- 7:03Speaker 3: Isn't know our quarterback's name, Austin's got The more general
- 7:07Speaker 3: I think Husker take that I've heard a lot. I
- 7:09Speaker 3: don't think three to four wins is what I've been
- 7:11Speaker 3: hearing from anybody. But I also think that your overall
- 7:17Speaker 3: interest engagement is just generally low. And that's not a
- 7:21Speaker 3: it's not a shock to hear me if you follow
- 7:24Speaker 3: Husker sports or for this offseason not following Husker sports. Uh,
- 7:30Speaker 3: it just it's been it's been quiet for the most part,
- 7:35Speaker 3: and I think that's because of a lot of things. Obviously,
- 7:42Speaker 3: the way last year ended.
- 7:43Speaker 4: Do you guys remember how last year ended?
- 7:46Speaker 5: Yeah, I do have freaking smoked in the ball game
- 7:49Speaker 5: and smoked my Iowa.
- 7:51Speaker 4: It just it just ended ended very.
- 7:57Speaker 3: Compared to the year before, where we came off of
- 8:00Speaker 3: Bowl win against Boston College and had some hype going.
- 8:04Speaker 4: In with Dylan Royola. Now, you know, there's a lot of.
- 8:07Speaker 3: New faces coming in, got a new defensive coordinator. There's
- 8:11Speaker 3: been some talking around that knew a line coach, so
- 8:16Speaker 3: there's a piece. Obviously you mentioned Callandery coming in and
- 8:19Speaker 3: being our starting quarterback. Like, there's been some things, but
- 8:22Speaker 3: there just hasn't quite been the the the juice.
- 8:29Speaker 7: Posting.
- 8:30Speaker 5: You know. I feel like McEwan's tweets are quiet. There's
- 8:34Speaker 5: not a lot going on.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Yeah, And I will say it's not just the media,
- 8:40Speaker 3: it's fans in general just not there's just not much
- 8:46Speaker 3: talk about it. Uh.
- 8:47Speaker 4: And I think that's totally fair.
- 8:51Speaker 3: I think basketball coming off of a very very hyped
- 8:54Speaker 3: season as well, where everybody's like, yeah, who cares about football?
- 8:58Speaker 4: Like we've talked about about basketball now than we ever have.
- 9:04Speaker 7: I had good seasons too there in May and June, so.
- 9:08Speaker 4: It has been that it is just it.
- 9:10Speaker 3: I don't think that, you know, Rules just had big
- 9:12Speaker 3: ten media days, which Austin just found that out too.
- 9:15Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure it happened. But like I honestly, usually
- 9:19Speaker 5: you know, my feet is just full of snippets. But
- 9:22Speaker 5: I because I have seen some clips, I was like,
- 9:24Speaker 5: that was the big TV Like that was it?
- 9:26Speaker 4: Like usually, well, and he's not.
- 9:28Speaker 3: He's not doing the podcast anymore, he's not going on
- 9:31Speaker 3: McAfee's show. There hasn't been the off season like blown
- 9:36Speaker 3: up hype videos and everything that there's been in the past.
- 9:40Speaker 4: Like I said, the word the word that I use
- 9:42Speaker 4: is quiet.
- 9:46Speaker 7: Yeah, which I mean, there's just there's just better things
- 9:50Speaker 7: to do.
- 9:51Speaker 5: It was like if baseball softball did well, I was
- 9:53Speaker 5: honestly more invested in our summer league guys that got
- 9:56Speaker 5: drafted in the NBA, you.
- 9:57Speaker 7: Know, like oh Man Ring put up twenty three and
- 10:00Speaker 7: ten last night. But wow, which is weird?
- 10:05Speaker 6: Is that good that there's no hype coming in? Because
- 10:10Speaker 6: I I know you Hunter, you hate the kool aid
- 10:13Speaker 6: drinking every time it comes around this time of year.
- 10:16Speaker 7: This is one hundred once.
- 10:17Speaker 4: Yeah, and you guys are you guys are hinting at
- 10:22Speaker 4: my thought?
- 10:22Speaker 5: Here.
- 10:23Speaker 3: Again, I'm not drinking the kool aid, but like I
- 10:25Speaker 3: sneakly think this is just where my head's been at
- 10:28Speaker 3: the past couple of weeks. Like I sneakily think this
- 10:33Speaker 3: could be a decent year, and I have nothing to
- 10:36Speaker 3: go off of that. Besides, it's been quiet, and I
- 10:40Speaker 3: think that the hype and all of that I've always
- 10:44Speaker 3: thought that can lead into have negative implications on.
- 10:51Speaker 4: The season.
- 10:52Speaker 3: Hence we've we've hit under underhit expectations. I mean since
- 10:58Speaker 3: we've been doing this podcast for sure. Uh probably I
- 11:02Speaker 3: think from a win total perspective, we haven't hit since
- 11:04Speaker 3: twenty sixteen, maybe one time since twenty sixteen. So here
- 11:09Speaker 3: we are, Like I think, because everybody's so down, maybe
- 11:14Speaker 3: there's going to be.
- 11:15Speaker 4: A chance for some surprise.
- 11:19Speaker 3: And when I say down, I just think for the
- 11:21Speaker 3: from the player and coaches standpoint, that gives you the
- 11:23Speaker 3: opportunity instead of getting so many questions and and and
- 11:30Speaker 3: I'm calling it pressure because I do think that there's
- 11:33Speaker 3: there's a higher amount of pressure and people.
- 11:35Speaker 4: Coaches know that Rule knows that when he took the job.
- 11:37Speaker 3: Players know that when you come to Nebraska, you're gonna
- 11:39Speaker 3: be under the spotlight way more for a mediocre team
- 11:44Speaker 3: at best right now than you are anywhere across the country.
- 11:47Speaker 3: I think that gives you an opportunity to say, all right,
- 11:49Speaker 3: we're gonna work hard, we're gonna we're gonna get our
- 11:51Speaker 3: brains and our minds right, and we're gonna go win
- 11:56Speaker 3: some games. And I'm gonna say, prove some people wrong,
- 12:00Speaker 3: but go out and do something like not saying what
- 12:03Speaker 3: Indiana did the last two years, but they kind of
- 12:06Speaker 3: have the same mentality. Well, nobody believed in them, nobody
- 12:08Speaker 3: thought they could do it, and you just keep using
- 12:10Speaker 3: that as fuel to the fire. I have a weird
- 12:13Speaker 3: feeling that that could be Nebraska this year, not saying
- 12:17Speaker 3: ten wins, but at least potentially hitting our win total
- 12:22Speaker 3: and exceeding Dax for sure, exceeding Dak's three win expectation.
- 12:26Speaker 6: That it was shared.
- 12:29Speaker 4: Six and a half. Okay, that's my general take.
- 12:35Speaker 3: Like that's where I had been that This offseason has
- 12:38Speaker 3: been quiet for me too, from a from a podcast
- 12:41Speaker 3: standpoint like or a football standpoint. I just I haven't
- 12:45Speaker 3: been intrigued by a lot of stuff. I with you
- 12:47Speaker 3: on the summer league stuff, Austin, I'm with you on
- 12:49Speaker 3: the Husker basketball recruits and all that, Like I feel
- 12:54Speaker 3: like I know that team better than our football team
- 12:56Speaker 3: right now. Already bought tickets to the Pentagon for the
- 12:59Speaker 3: boys eight game, have not bought any road game to
- 13:01Speaker 3: it gets to the Oscar football yet, so like, yeah,
- 13:04Speaker 3: my head's still there for football or for basketball, but
- 13:07Speaker 3: for football's been like ey. But then I'm like, maybe
- 13:09Speaker 3: that means we're gonna beat somebody that we shouldn't, which
- 13:13Speaker 3: we've not done. When I say that, I'm not saying Indiana,
- 13:16Speaker 3: Oregon or Ohio State. But maybe maybe maybe we beat
- 13:20Speaker 3: Iowa this year, Maybe we go on the road and
- 13:23Speaker 3: take care of Illinois.
- 13:25Speaker 4: Maybe just maybe. I don't know that that's my that's
- 13:28Speaker 4: my thought.
- 13:31Speaker 5: I mean, I feel like we were texting and I
- 13:35Speaker 5: think we are all kind of having warming up to
- 13:36Speaker 5: the season I think going into going into this year.
- 13:39Speaker 7: I mean, it does help that Tennessee is not on
- 13:41Speaker 7: our schedule this year or non time is.
- 13:45Speaker 5: I don't want to say lock for at least three wins,
- 13:48Speaker 5: but it gets you well over half the way. We
- 13:53Speaker 5: had a text Chamer, It's like, I don't know, eight wins.
- 13:57Speaker 5: You look at the schedule. It couldn't be okay. I
- 14:00Speaker 5: mean we haven't talked about Mkay Nelson, who's supposed to
- 14:03Speaker 5: be all started running back, got arrested in Florida.
- 14:07Speaker 7: I don't know. I think I saw that he's gonna
- 14:09Speaker 7: play this year.
- 14:10Speaker 6: But yeah, yeah, they just announced that last week he's
- 14:12Speaker 6: supposed to play.
- 14:13Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean that's kind of that's a little hairy
- 14:17Speaker 5: thing that normally I feel like we get blown totally
- 14:19Speaker 5: out of proportion.
- 14:20Speaker 3: And so we'll go through some of these topics here
- 14:27Speaker 3: throughout the off season. And awesome you mentioned a couple
- 14:29Speaker 3: of them. I mean since we've been on in.
- 14:33Speaker 2: March for the.
- 14:35Speaker 3: Sleet sixteen run. Here's some of the key things that
- 14:38Speaker 3: have happened. In April for the stadium, we got a new,
- 14:44Speaker 3: big reveal of the stadium. I think we're going to
- 14:51Speaker 3: figure out.
- 14:52Speaker 4: What what truly is going to come out of that.
- 14:54Speaker 3: But there's some changes coming with how they're moving people
- 14:59Speaker 3: around the state and redoing the South side and fixing
- 15:03Speaker 3: all of that up. There'll be something and I remember
- 15:07Speaker 3: it a lot more back then, but that that came out.
- 15:10Speaker 3: You know, we mentioned the basketball draft players, but Emma
- 15:13Speaker 3: Johnson went to the Chiefs in an NFL draft. Well,
- 15:17Speaker 3: we'll talk running backs and and you mentioned Makai Nelson,
- 15:21Speaker 3: the Penn State transfer coming in. There's a lot of
- 15:24Speaker 3: moving parts there, which we'll get to that here. Before
- 15:29Speaker 3: the season, the obviously schedule got released and all that,
- 15:39Speaker 3: so we were playing another Friday night game at Illinois.
- 15:44Speaker 3: And when we get to our schedule, I think it,
- 15:47Speaker 3: like you said, three three games at the beginning that
- 15:51Speaker 3: by all means are should wins, and then I think
- 15:55Speaker 3: there's three games to me that are probably losses, and
- 16:00Speaker 3: then there's six games in between that are going to
- 16:02Speaker 3: obviously define our season. I think in previous years we've
- 16:05Speaker 3: had maybe a couple for sure win, maybe one for
- 16:10Speaker 3: sure win and one for sure loss, and then some others.
- 16:13Speaker 3: To me, it's a little bit different this year, just
- 16:15Speaker 3: given what it looks like. It's tougher is what we've
- 16:18Speaker 3: been hearing. But I think there's there's pieces there to
- 16:21Speaker 3: talk about. The uniforms, Austin, you're a big fan.
- 16:24Speaker 7: I thought they're so lamb, so lamb.
- 16:29Speaker 5: Oh, my guys, I don't we don't need to read
- 16:32Speaker 5: design uniforms so frequently.
- 16:35Speaker 7: I feel, you know, we have some good uniforms.
- 16:37Speaker 5: Let's not we should always do a Black Shirts altered
- 16:41Speaker 5: alt uniform that's got the skull crossbones on the helmet.
- 16:46Speaker 5: We've never you know, we just why do we get
- 16:50Speaker 5: so cute? I know why, because we get sell more stuff,
- 16:52Speaker 5: but disappointment whereas our rectors block in and the end zone.
- 17:00Speaker 5: It's gonna be really cool.
- 17:01Speaker 7: I can't wait. It's gonna look sharp at home.
- 17:04Speaker 4: Dak What do you think about the uniforms?
- 17:07Speaker 6: I'm be honest with you, did not even I've not
- 17:09Speaker 6: even saw anything about that.
- 17:12Speaker 4: Do you have any thoughts this morning, like about anything?
- 17:15Speaker 7: What a big tree Taylor guy?
- 17:17Speaker 5: Yeah?
- 17:19Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, this this is the last season they're ever
- 17:21Speaker 6: gonna lose Iowa. You want to elaborate on that, I
- 17:27Speaker 6: guess I guess straight to which is which he was saying. Basically,
- 17:30Speaker 6: they're gonna lose the season Iowa. But he was saying
- 17:34Speaker 6: that once once he steps in the last time ever
- 17:37Speaker 6: they lose Iowa game, which which I just don't see happening.
- 17:41Speaker 7: But something else, Yeah, you gotta he's a five star quarterback.
- 17:47Speaker 2: Now, yeah, I mean, I just.
- 17:56Speaker 6: I just don't see which I was gonna say this earlier.
- 18:00Speaker 6: I think seriously, probably since you guys have done this podcast,
- 18:05Speaker 6: I don't think that there is a tougher three game stretch.
- 18:10Speaker 2: Than Indiana, Oregon, and Washington.
- 18:12Speaker 6: This season, like It's gonna which which I think going
- 18:15Speaker 6: into that they will be four and one, five and zero.
- 18:19Speaker 6: But ship's can hit the fan during that three game stretch,
- 18:22Speaker 6: and I don't I don't know how that might be
- 18:27Speaker 6: rules like see a moment.
- 18:31Speaker 2: M hm, really.
- 18:36Speaker 7: Hmmm interesting.
- 18:38Speaker 5: Okay, to the other large thing that we'll probably have
- 18:43Speaker 5: to get to at some point this week to fight
- 18:45Speaker 5: your eligibility shake up. I mean that just you know, Clamber,
- 18:50Speaker 5: you're gonna leave next year, you know, I mean that's
- 18:54Speaker 5: that's the next year problem. But I mean that that
- 18:56Speaker 5: kind of changes the whole landscape. But who can play,
- 19:02Speaker 5: how you're playing players? You know, there's no reason to bench,
- 19:06Speaker 5: you know, these freshmen that are coming in that you
- 19:09Speaker 5: think are really highly of, so transfers that are like,
- 19:13Speaker 5: oh we're seniors, but now we're you know, we might
- 19:15Speaker 5: have two years of eligibility. That's something that at some
- 19:19Speaker 5: point we'll have to do the map of who can
- 19:21Speaker 5: keep playing and what they thought they were getting on
- 19:25Speaker 5: their rue time rental and now do we have to
- 19:26Speaker 5: pay them for a whole other year because now they're
- 19:28Speaker 5: going to stay, and now we don't have money to
- 19:29Speaker 5: pay these guys, and that's gonna get haired.
- 19:33Speaker 3: There continues to be a lot of movement on the
- 19:36Speaker 3: national level for college football in college sports in general.
- 19:42Speaker 3: I don't think that's going to stop. And some people
- 19:47Speaker 3: are going to comment and say that it's ruining college sports.
- 19:50Speaker 5: And all of that.
- 19:52Speaker 4: It's just reality, whether you like it or not.
- 19:54Speaker 3: Like, it's just going to continue to evolve and change,
- 19:57Speaker 3: and laws that are going to be going to to
- 20:00Speaker 3: Congress and the Senate floor and in back and forth,
- 20:04Speaker 3: and then you're gonna get the playoff talk on how
- 20:06Speaker 3: many teams should be in there and whether that's right
- 20:08Speaker 3: or wrong, and some people want to stay at twelve
- 20:11Speaker 3: Now obviously all of the n I L and transfer like,
- 20:15Speaker 3: it's just going to continue to evolve and and it's
- 20:17Speaker 3: hard to keep up with all the news and the
- 20:19Speaker 3: and the rules.
- 20:19Speaker 4: So Austin, you are glad you mentioned.
- 20:21Speaker 3: The five for five that is now in place where yeah,
- 20:26Speaker 3: you you get five years in college. Is there is
- 20:31Speaker 3: the reality of it and all these red shirts that
- 20:33Speaker 3: you've been used to hearing about whether it be medical
- 20:36Speaker 3: or a playing red shirt, those are gone. You get
- 20:41Speaker 3: five years and that's that. So it is, it's it's
- 20:47Speaker 3: just it's it's a it's a moving part that if
- 20:49Speaker 3: you're an a d if you're a coach, if if
- 20:52Speaker 3: you're an administrator, if you're a player, it impacts you
- 20:55Speaker 3: very heavily and how you how you manage your your
- 20:58Speaker 3: program at the at the collegiate level, and you have
- 21:02Speaker 3: to understand it's inside it out to be really good
- 21:05Speaker 3: at it. And that's that's not that's not an easy
- 21:07Speaker 3: thing to do when all these things are going on.
- 21:09Speaker 3: I would say it being an administrator, it's one of
- 21:13Speaker 3: the most challenging times ever.
- 21:16Speaker 4: At the division.
- 21:17Speaker 3: And that's why they're hiring general managers. It's why they're
- 21:20Speaker 3: hiring other people to help them make decisions outside.
- 21:25Speaker 4: Of just the x's and o's on the field. And
- 21:27Speaker 4: it makes it I don't know, to me, it's just
- 21:29Speaker 4: making it more like the NFL.
- 21:32Speaker 3: It's making it more like the professional levels, which we
- 21:35Speaker 3: all think it's a point. It's getting there like that,
- 21:38Speaker 3: that's the path that's going down when it comes to
- 21:41Speaker 3: paying players. So a lot to unpack there as well,
- 21:46Speaker 3: whether it's for the good or for the bad, and
- 21:48Speaker 3: your thoughts on that. And the lastly, guys, Nebraska basketball,
- 21:56Speaker 3: I just give me, give me your quick one minute
- 22:00Speaker 3: take on where we're at with the hype train there.
- 22:04Speaker 5: We're gonna have the best five man white guy lineup
- 22:08Speaker 5: in the nation right now.
- 22:11Speaker 6: You think we were white last year, Hunter, this is
- 22:14Speaker 6: we are white white this year.
- 22:17Speaker 7: When JaMarcus Lawrence might not leave, so that might might be.
- 22:20Speaker 2: Yeah, Saw, I saw something about that this weekend. Is
- 22:24Speaker 2: he coming back or not?
- 22:25Speaker 7: I don't know. I think they don't know plays eligible
- 22:29Speaker 7: to now with the five year.
- 22:31Speaker 3: So the five for five thing passed as expected, and
- 22:36Speaker 3: this is not just for Nebraska basketballs for everywhere.
- 22:39Speaker 4: The ones that graduated this year, there was a ruling or.
- 22:44Speaker 3: Appeal that basically because it was the initial one was
- 22:47Speaker 3: effective for people like the last year was clanderas the
- 22:50Speaker 3: current seniors, they can play one more year. Well, then
- 22:53Speaker 3: there's people that came back and said, what about the
- 22:55Speaker 3: ones that just graduated, which would be JaMarcus Lawrence and
- 23:00Speaker 3: that group that hasn't played five years?
- 23:02Speaker 4: You will play four years in college? They said, yes,
- 23:07Speaker 4: under certain circumstances. They can play a fifth year, so
- 23:10Speaker 4: that's that we'll see.
- 23:15Speaker 2: I'm well then, yeah, Dak bring him back.
- 23:18Speaker 4: I what about basketball in general, I.
- 23:23Speaker 6: Think they're going to be like top ten team all
- 23:27Speaker 6: season long. Like I'm so high on the basketball team.
- 23:30Speaker 5: I had a moment literally last week, not unprovoked, and
- 23:36Speaker 5: I just had the moment. We were a top five
- 23:38Speaker 5: team at one point last year like that is yeah, insane,
- 23:44Speaker 5: And I mean we lost rank mass to the second
- 23:47Speaker 5: half the season, didn't even played that great.
- 23:49Speaker 7: And granted, do your top five when he was playing great.
- 23:51Speaker 3: But Austin you Yren too thrilled about the documentary when
- 23:57Speaker 3: you mentioned it earlier, I was like, so, I just
- 24:01Speaker 3: watched it probably three weeks ago.
- 24:04Speaker 4: I was I loved every bit of it. I was good,
- 24:07Speaker 4: pumped for it, and I what was great about it
- 24:11Speaker 4: is it allowed.
- 24:12Speaker 3: Me to go back and remember all the really fun
- 24:14Speaker 3: moments because there were so many of them and you
- 24:16Speaker 3: forgot them, like because it ended where it ended, not
- 24:20Speaker 3: saying losing to Iowa, but just the sweet the NCAA
- 24:22Speaker 3: tournament wins, Like you forgot all of the moments throughout
- 24:26Speaker 3: the year and then seeing them, I thought everything about
- 24:28Speaker 3: it was awesome and I'm glad they did it. And
- 24:30Speaker 3: I also think it was a good way of wrapping
- 24:32Speaker 3: the season up and some people don't have if if
- 24:35Speaker 3: you want to go back and relive.
- 24:36Speaker 4: Those moments, go do it. But now it's like on YouTube,
- 24:39Speaker 4: so go.
- 24:39Speaker 3: Do it there and don't like, let's let's turn the
- 24:41Speaker 3: page to next season and and do bigger and better things.
- 24:45Speaker 3: I think it was a great way of doing that
- 24:47Speaker 3: as well, because otherwise you would be hearing in November
- 24:52Speaker 3: how great the buzzer beater, which we probably still will
- 24:55Speaker 3: of JaMarcus Lawrence, like, that's great.
- 24:57Speaker 4: If you want to go watch it, go watch it
- 24:58Speaker 4: because it's out there. But let's beat Illinois this year.
- 25:01Speaker 4: That was That's how my brain process is it all too.
- 25:04Speaker 4: I thought it was awesome.
- 25:05Speaker 5: I thought it was great, good recap. No, No, I'm
- 25:11Speaker 5: excited for the season and volleyball is going to be great.
