  Speaker 1: It's officially weak zero boys Kansas State, Iowa State kicking

  Speaker 2: How do you guys feel about Week zero games?

  Speaker 3: I love it.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I like him because football is here.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's not much to it, and honestly, iron
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the Ireland game has been good every time except for
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: one game was bad. But I think been great games
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: all right, maybe not maybe not the very first one, but.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I could tell you who played last year.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Who was it? Oh, it was great. Georgia Tech, Florida State.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: That's right, the fall of Florida State.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I have other games on two, but that's that's the
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: main headliner right there. There's nothing.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: You have one big one.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: It's Case State Iowa State this year.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I mean a little bit close to home, so have
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a little bit of interest there watching that. And then
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: we get to game week next week, and we'll have
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a full preview on Cincinnati next Monday. We're gonna bring
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: on a Okay State fan here on Thursday to preview
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: k State is upcoming week, and then we're we are go.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Time for the undefeated twelve to zero Huskers.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: A little bit of Husker hype in the national media
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: this week. MF you guys followed, but there were a
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: couple of I saw pet I can't even his first
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: name is, Josh Bate.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Josh Pate, have us go to the college football playoffs?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: And Bruce Feldman, how will Nebraska take as well? So
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: you know, the classic even Joel Klatt talked about as
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: a potential Indiana like season.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Joel, Joel just loves us, and of course you do
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: it because all of us.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: Fans, we just eat it and eat it and eat it.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: We love it and drink it and drink it. And
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: especially when we get closer to the years, it feels
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: like we're just talking. There. Maybe not a whole lot
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of news this week, like we did. We're just waiting
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: for some actual action on the field. The big news,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I guess over the last few days was a couple
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: of things. One see, digit jerseys have been finalized same
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: ratio as last year on the defensive offensive ratio, which
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: as I started looking at it, I was, I guess
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: that makes sense. Well, you can't put offensive linement on
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: there because of numbers. To keep that in mind and
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: that probably makes sense. But then yeah, the three wide
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: receivers on the offensive side of the ball, and then
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: the rest are defensive players. What do we think of
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the single digit jerseys? It's year three of doing it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: How do we feel about it?
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: So one, I guess first comment, I'm assuming Dylan turned
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: it down because he wants number fifteen.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: Probably I.
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: Think that's good for the team, that he his.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Opinion or his thought is above the pro the team
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: and what they want to do that or.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: It could be you know, like, hey, I know I'm
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a leader, but I want other people to recognize as
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: a leader so that you know they're I.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Mean, that's how he probably framed it, which is the
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: best way of framing it. But it's supposed to be
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the toughest I think is what they initially said, like
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the toughest people on the field basically, which makes sense
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: why a lot of them are defenders. Offative lineman can't
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: be on there, so that piece kind of makes sense.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I will say this, it's resonating more this year than
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the old black Shirts kind of have.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: So I don't know how some of the old timers
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: feel about that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Are the black shirt stuff is it is still around
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and it's still going to be there, which we'll get
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to that here in a second on true black shirts.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: But I don't know, I think it's good. I think
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: it's something different. It's I don't know. I guess you're
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: rewarding guys for their leadership, but slash guys that would
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: just want to fly with their heads cut off, Like you,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: you want those kind of guys, especially on the defensive
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: side and offensively to get one of those, you know,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I think it means something. We got.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: We got three receivers on it.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: Archie Wilson did not get a single digit, so not
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: yet give it a year.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: I will say, I don't know. I mean, I never
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: played a number of sport in high school. Like I'm
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: assuming that the single digits are the most desirable numbers
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: to have.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, not really, I kind of, but not really.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I mean.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: I think as you're a kid, you probably want those.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I think they're just that's what they
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: classified as their thing. Dak you like.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Them, Yeah, I guess it's it just basically highlights the
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: impact players like supposed to be during the year. And
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: it feels like to me at least that it's like
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: you're your motivators. I guess on the team basically, Yeah,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: is the way I pick it up. It's like you're
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: say someone's not doing their job whatever, these guys will
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: get after you. That's that's the way I think.
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, most of them are seniors except for Bernie
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and shavers Am.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I right, yeah, pretty close. Bonner's not a senior, I
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: don't think, is right, he's a junior.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: You're right.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I do think a lot of them like it's motivators.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: It's also a kind of a way to name captains
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: without naming them captains, like in a way of that
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: like it's kind of allowing more people to do that.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: And I think, if I remember right, rule has rotated
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: the actual captain spots at times that for the game.
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I think, you know, you can have four or whatever
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: that come out. You know, you expect Dylan to be
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: probably one of those, and maybe consistently Dylan be one
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: of those. I'm not sure, but that to means another
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: way of looking at it, I agree.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know. It's it's fine if that's what
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: works for them, great. Eventually, if you were to do
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: this as a program for the entirety of your existence,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you run out of numbers because they'd be.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Retired the actould Oklahoma do it?
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: No? Okay, no, they first off, first time, you can
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: get better on the field before you start doing that.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, Nebraska's good enough to do it.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Recently for there. I mean, they just made a bowl games.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: That's the big news right there.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Second big news that came out was the blackout that's
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: happening on November first, I believe against USC big old
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: promo video jersey release. Couldn't we put the black shirt
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: logo on the helmet swelling crossbone instead of the end.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I think that then people probably would complain about the
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: offense and not getting who gana probably wouldn't like it.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: Who cares the black end was dumb?
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: I hope. I mean, I think everybody hopes that that
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: becomes a night game, but Big Ten can probably really
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I mean at the Big Ten as any sort of
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: appreciation for Nebraska with all this announcement, they will make
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: it a night game regardless of some records. Yes, but.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: Just watch it be an eleven am game.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: But it won't happen.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: It won't not even look as near as close as game.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Now, the question is is how good are people going
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to be at the blackout. I have little faith in
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the older generation, who are mostly the season ticket holders.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: It will be good this year because they announced it
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: now and early. That's that's why we've tried to do blackouts,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and basketball has tried to do whatever else. They don't
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: announce it and get it out and publicized to everybody
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: with their generation. Now we're talking about it. We haven't
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: played a game yet, and throughout the year people will
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: just say, like especially the game could be a bigger game,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: implications for the end of the year. But at the
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: same time, it's out there now. That's why I think
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: it'll be good. And I think if it's not, and
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: they have a feeling about it, they are going to
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: do some sort of T shirts something, and there'll be
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: T shirts anyways, but on the chairs, like, I don't
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: think I do it for ninety eighty five thousand fans,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: but like I think they, I think it will be
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: good this time, and that game will only make it better.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: See. My one concern is it's a November game, so
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: when it gets cold, people start it's like, well, I
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: don't have a black coat. I guess I'll just wear.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Well I will say this, what's kind of funny. As
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: it gets colder, there becomes less red because people don't
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: have red coats. That's true, not the prior, more that black.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: But you're right, if you don't have a black coat,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: you're probably not gonna go buy a black coat just
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: for the game. Like the Iowa games have a lot
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: more black speckled and gray speckled in there then in
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: your early red game.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, we we all know why they're wearing black
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: right for that game, Lincoln Right's last game, the Funeral. Yeah,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: that's a funeral. No. I saw one take about it.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: Someone was mad about it that it was this is
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: like a classic helmet match up up and they're pissed
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: about changing jury's. After that, I was like, I don't.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: I don't see Nebraska versus US as a classic classic
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: matchup Jersey wise.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I will say I think both programs are two that
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: probably do the least alternate type of like yeah, everybody,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: we we don't. We don't vary much from even our
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: alternates in the past have just been like a little change.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: We're like, oh that's cool, Like.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: Except for those one I can't rememb it how long
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: ago it was Oh, they're they're horrible. It was like
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: the I can't even I think it was trying to
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: drive dress up as like old the old time football.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: Players like Stream and the Yeah, yeah, I didn't mind those.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: I did not like them.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, here's where we got planned for you today. Oh
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: of aall scrimmage to better mention that. But the cool
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: idea like the current Huskers won three to one. Played
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: some alumni I put in, they were a little feisty early,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: and they I mean they should I feel like they
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: should be like they add they have a lot of
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: talent there. But I thought it was a really good idea,
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Like volleyball is once for I guess baseball you could
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: do it. I feel like basketball football like it would
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: be kind of tough because you've got to be in
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: pretty I mean volleyball two, you got to be in
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: good athletic shape. But especially like basketball and football, even
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: soccer like you are, you're needing to be able to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: physically hold your one. And so I have a good idea.
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: Whoever came up with that drew some attention, drew a
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: good crowd.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: To be honest, you wouldn't have enough players to play
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: on that football game the other side, they'd be out
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: by half.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know. You can get some nineteen ninety five
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: guys in there right now.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: Okay, So yeah, Osbourne, I think was that practice the
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: other day? He is looking tough.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Every every bit at age ninety two or whatever he is.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: I didn't look at his age. I didn't know he
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: was ninety two, but he.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Looks ninety two. He's probably eighty nine. Yeah, he made
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Frank look young. And Frank's not young.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: He's eighty eight.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Jeez man, why does he look like it? Okay, here's
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: what we're doing rest of the episode. Our first official
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: fan mail bag question. So, Alice is gonna work. I'm
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: gonna we have fifteen questions submitted by random listeners from
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: around the the actress area, and we are going to
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: ask the question and we're going to discuss it. Pretty
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: simple topic we have. There's some there's some good submissions,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: some some fun ones, there's some serious ones, there's some
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: frustrating ones. So we'll start with Brad from Why More
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: and he says, Dylan Royola gonna live up to the
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: hype or are we about to crown another freshman before
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: he's even taken a snap, which Brad, you're you're you're
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: a year off. But if if we want to go,
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: you know about sophomore season, Okay, the hype is still there,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: and probably even more on Dylan where we've seen Heisman hype,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: we've seen just the leadership in general for Dylan from Dylan,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: like the expectations there. What do we think Dylan Royol hype?
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: Yes or no? Is he gonna?
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Is he gonna do it this year?
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean if he performs like you did last year,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: we would all be disappointed. But I think we all
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: last year that it was an okay season.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: Hmm. Do I think what?
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: I guess?
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: I don't really know what the Delanaril hype is this year.
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the expectations are.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: I don't think anyone has him like. I think the
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: hype is that he could be really damn good if
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: he breaks out and could be a Heisman guy and
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: take us to eleven and one.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but the hype is he could I don't like
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: this anyways, Like Dylan, this is your Delanaril breaks out,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: but they're like, oh, this could be the your Delanil
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: it breaks out.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: I think there's already kind of a butt built into
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the hype. The hype with Dana's offense and clicking got
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: some receivers.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's what I was gonna say, was the hype.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's coming from another or year. At
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: least enter Dana. You at least have a set offense now.
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: And quarterbacks. I feel like quarterbacks get you're a good
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: quarterback get a lot better after you have a year
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: under the oh see it helps out a lot that part.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: And and he's lost weight, like Hungerson begging him.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Too, damn right, we didn't want him to dick.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: Nope, I know, I'm kidding. He needed to lose weight bad.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: You do like fat people.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Whatever his heisman odds.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm guessing the probably a little bit inflated here.
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: I I think it's I think the hype. And here's what.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I think with Dylan.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: If Dylan pops and goes above the expectations this year,
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: and maybe maybe I'm wrong on this take, I don't
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: think that directly means we are ten and two, eleven
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: and one, Like I now, it's a big piece of it,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: don't get me wrong, but I think our defense still
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: has to come around with it. I also think that
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: the offensive line has to which if he pops, I
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: means their offensive line is probably doing their job well enough.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I do think there's other factors there. Special teams has
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: to improve for us to record wise be really really good.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: But I think that's the hype, right.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: If everything pieces together and it starts with Dylan being
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: the five star recruit, that could be. Yeah, the season
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: could go really well. I don't know that it's all
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: dependent on that though.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: He's sixty to one Heisman odds, which is, you know,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: still behind Archie Wilson at fifty to one.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: So okay, next question we're going to We're gonna do
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: a quick one here. Derek from Courtland, who's actually getting
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: the first carry against Nat.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: Do we do we? Okay?
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: He said, do we do that thing where we're gonna
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: rotate five guys and nobody ever finds the rhythm at
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: running back?
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: Emma Johnson?
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think we all can answer that.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: On three, Emma Johnson get the first carry. But let's
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: go to the second part of the question. I think,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: what do we think the running back situation is going
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: to be like this year?
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be fifty to be chopped up
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: by the other three Quentin Moozie and oh the guy
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: from training camp, Baron Parker.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: There you go, Yes, yeah, it won't be. It won't
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: be running back as committee this year. I think I
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: think it's more it's for sure got starting John and
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: the other three are gonna fight for that backup number
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: two spot.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I tend to agree. I I don't think it's gonna
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: be completely split, you know. I think some people think
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be ninety em Like he might just be
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: a bell cow. I I just think that's trend is
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: going away in all football. I just you see it
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: less and less because you have one other commitments or
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: other other guys that are that are good enough to play,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: and you want to keep your running backs fresh and
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: healthy to get the extra yardage. I think a lot
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: of it is going to come down to guys. We've
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: said it before. Who can who can make three year
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: yards turn into seven? Who can make a nine yard
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: game turn into forty?
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: Who?
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Who are Who's going to do that? And if Emmitt's
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: that guy that can and nobody else can, He's probably
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: gonna play a lot more. I think that's what they're
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: looking for this year from a running back standpoint on
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: the offensive side, easy question. Next, All right, let's go
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: stay on the offenses. Go Meghan in Adams, She asked,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: which receiver stepping up is Ryola's guy? Is it gonna
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: be somebody better? Because I'm tired of watching his complete
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: three yard outs on third and twelve.
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: I think he Scott rust Uh, Dame Key is the
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: obvious answer.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: Do we wanna? Do we wanna?
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Is it that obvious?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Is it? That's where I would go?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: He's got he has a whole other year of reps
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: with Jacory.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll see you bring on Jakory.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: I just I don't know. I just really like Jacory.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: I think where he falls in Dana's offense.
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: You know, kind of the middle of the field guy.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: I think I just think Dylan's gonna find him a lot.
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think he's gonna have those big downfield passes,
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: but as far as frequency of targets, I feel pretty
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: good about Jacory.
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I was thinking more to Cory too, just because
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: I think you can use him different in a lot
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: of different ways too. Jet sweeps and.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I guess in my mind. I for one, for the
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: first time in a long time, I'm I'm and this
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: is maybe whole aid drinking. I think Dame Key could
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: be a guy that gets eight to ten targets a
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: game and be like you. And maybe it's because he's
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the only senior everybody else is so young, but basically
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: be the guy that no, he's go to, Like third down,
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: We're going to Dame Key because he's both physically and
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: quickness wise able to get open. He's a target you
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: can throw the ball to and go op and get
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: it like. I think that's how I'm picturing him more
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: more so. And then Ja Corey is still your slot guy.
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: He's still gonna a lot of touches too. And then
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: you know Isaiah Hunters there's I think, probably more of
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: a speed guy. He's still young, bonners, impressed people so
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: and tight ends like who knows.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Who knows he could be the guy?
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: Hey, yeah, I don't know if Corey might be might
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: be the right answer. I would.
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: I would go dating Key.
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: I feel like those only two.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: That you're really this year. Hunter, your line is gonna rock.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: What you're really bringing the kool aid this year? You're
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: big on the old line, you're huge.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Hey, I'm I'm I'm I'm closetly drinking the kool aid.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I don't want to say it. I don't want to
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: actually say those words. But let's see here we go.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: Going back to the last week's episode, Mike from Blue
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Springs Special Teams dot dot dot dot dot. Is this
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: finally the year? Are we gonna once again miss chip
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: shotfield goals and muff punts? I'm sick of losing games
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: on this stuff that even high school teams get.
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I like that last comic because it's true, Like some
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: of the stuff that we do, your your your bad
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: snaps like that we've had over the past several years.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: The catching punts inside the five yard line or kicks
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: inside the five yard line and running out of bounds. Yeah, like,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: come on, We're Nebraska. Why why are we doing that stuff?
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: We talked about it before that. Yes, another kool Aid.
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: Just trust in Eckler, trust in trust in the longest
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Special Teams Coach interview of the year, as Dak said,
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: like trusting that guy. I think it can get worse,
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: but don't be surprised. In my mind if there are
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: still some bumps and bruises along the way. I really
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: don't think.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: I don't think Special Team is gonna lose his games
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: this year, though, I'm gonna say it's gonna lose us
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: one somewhere and we're all gonna throw a fit.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know where.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: It just requires so many things to go wrong for
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: Special Teams to lose you a game, and we I mean,
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: and we've done it so many times. There's no way
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: with the emphasis put on it this year that it
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: happens right.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: I feel like the punning game you have a lot
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: of comments in but when Drew when not Drew Brown?
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: When whenever your kicker runs out there?
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Why did you say Drew Brown?
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know why I'm dead saying your kick Is're
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: gonna ask you last week? Is he anyway?
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: That was like that wasn't even like a couple of
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: years ago, last several years, John Hole.
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when he runs out there, there's I feel like
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: there's not still on recent commenty he's gonna make a kick.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: I feel like by the end of the year though,
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I feel like he really started to click. And then
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: you have a whole other year and he came in
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: as see a true person.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: That a hoss's I think it's gonna be in and
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be our kicker.
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: But oh, okay, I just think.
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: It's Eckler coming in and it's it's it was an
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: open battle and Eckler's not going to play zero zero
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: emphasim last year. And I don't think reals touching it.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: I don't. I think it's Elers Eckler's baby, and I
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: think he brought in a guy that he wanted to
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: kick for him. That's why I think it'll be Kyle kenated.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: But hm hmm, okay, I think it's healthy competition. I
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: I yeah, I think special teams hope hopefully doesn't. But
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: I think it still could cause us a game. I
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: think it shouldn't win us a game too well, and
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: maybe it could win us the game. How about how
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: abouthitting the game winning field goal? Way we I guess
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: we did that against Northwestern?
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: Exciting game. Yeah, I don't think. Do you like, do
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: you have three kickers battling right now? Is that is
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: that a good sign you think?
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: Or I'm really too.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Chris Nevadas, I mean he's.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Still there, probably, But I I kicker is one of
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: those things I mean, it's a battle, right who gets
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: the first kick, but like, whoever it is goes in
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: and they if they missed two of their first three, like,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: you're probably moving on to the other guy, and then
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: the other guy, the guy that just got booted probably
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: is gonna get another chance at some point too.
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: I think that's okay. It's from kicking standpoint.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Now, there is a rhythm thing, and obviously if John
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: hole starting and gets in a rhythm, he's gonna keep rolling.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: And if he just misses one, I don't think that
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Eckler's gonna say you suck, You're out.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: I don't think that's the case.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: Now. If it's like the one he misses as a
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: game winner early in the year, that could be tough.
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: But John did hit the fifty some year ear last year.
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I think kickers it's good to dry.
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: As a Vikings fan, I have learned this from experience,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: it's good to have multiple that you can pull because
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: they go mentally shot real quick and then you're screwed.
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: Let's go to Travis from de Witt mentioned the old line.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: He says, are we finally gonna have an O line
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: that doesn't get shoved around like folding chairs. Every year
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: it's the same promise, we're stronger, we're deeper, and then
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: we get bullied in week one.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: I feel I don't know. I didn't feel like we
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: got pushed around last year. I pheel I feel like
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: the answer would be no, we will not have a
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: line gon push around like bolding chairs. I think there
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: will be games where it struggles, but I expect the
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: offense might be a net positive.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Which your game, first game on the schedule, you think
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: that will come out of the out of the season.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: If any going, damn our line did not look as
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: good as we thought.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say Michigan because I remember a couple of
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: years ago when we played Michigan. It's like, oh shit,
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: like we are not Michigan level athletes there because they
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: got destroyed.
• 28:06
  Speaker 3: I always feel like game one for every team, the
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: online struggles the most because I don't know what. There's
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: just a lot of holding penalties and fall starts. Your
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: first game of the year, I feel like, So I
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: don't think it'll be game one. Yeah, by that Michigan game,
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: that's a good one because then you have two.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: Wait, so it's game one. We are going to struggle.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: We're not going to struggle.
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: Struggle. I think the holding of false like penalty dumb penalties.
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you're you're saying game one, yep, Okay. I
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: don't know, hopefully never. I do think depth wise, we
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: talked about that on the op Intive preview episode, could
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: be deeper this year, just more guys with maybe some experience.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: But I also think we said that every year, but
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: the guys with experience have all been the same guys
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: we've had, which that have all been very average, below
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: average offensive lineman.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: And a couple of those guys first year.
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: I mean a lot of these guys are you're you know,
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: this is Donnie's fourth year, so this is this is
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: the the seniors have been all four years with Donnie,
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: and they're kind of Donnie's guys.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: And some of those guys are taking a back seat
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: to incoming people. So I did hear. I thought this
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: was an interesting On one of the national podcasts I
• 29:28
  Speaker 1: listened to when they were talking about Alabama specifically, they're
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: mentioning the people that left and came in, and they
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: mentioned Elijah Purchett leaving and they basically said he sucks
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: don't know why Nebraska even wanted him. They said, I
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: don't even think he will help Nebraska. I thought that
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: was interesting from a national side. I don't know anything
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: about Elijah Purchett, right, no, nothing. He didn't watch him
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: play the Alabama last year. No, no, nothing. Right for
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: a national guy to say that, what all we've heard
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: is he's an Alabama guy. This is great, we got
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: an Alabama transfer. That's the perception that we have on it. Now.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Might make sense that there's a chance he doesn't roll
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: out we want as a starter. Like then that might
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: be kind of what the word is.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: He's not gonna be. He might not might probably not
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: be a weak one starter.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: We paid him.
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: But also say, you know how many national guys that
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: are actual national guys are watching the Alabama offensive lineman
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: who is not like a backup lineman at offense at Alabama.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't know. I just trust that they
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: probably do that. I mean, they do it for a
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: full time job, so maybe they know a little bit
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: about it. But I don't know.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: That's pretty presumptuous to be like, ah, yeah, I know
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: this this guy, the backup left tackle at Alabama. He
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: sucks I'm not saying they're wrong, but I've only skeptical
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: when someone's like this guy sucks, don't know I one,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: and when it's yeah, but he's like, I mean he
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: has played at Alabama. That's the thing.
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: So here's one from Holly and Steel Silly Steel City. Well,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: the big ten ever schedule. It's a Friday night game
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: at home. She would love to skip work, drink bush
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: lattes all day and making mortals stadium allows has been
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: since two thousand and one.
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: Did we had one at home?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: A couple last year? We did have one last year,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: So Holly, yeah, Illinois at home, you got that.
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: I hope you enjoyed your bush lattes.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: It was not the loudest stadium all year. It was
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: the three hundred and fifty or four hundred consecutive sell
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: I don't remember what the number was.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: It was in there, and I don't want to talk
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: about that game that went to overtime once again.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: Not good.
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll stay bond from that because we had
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: one last year. Rick from Diller. Why is beer I
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: Memorial Stadium price like it's imported from Paris?
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: Hey, it's terrors ten dollars for a bud.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: Light twelve for a Michelobe. That's what it is.
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: It might even more.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: I thought it was more than ten. I thought it
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: was twelve. I thought it was eleven and twelve. Eleven
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: for a bud Light, twelve for a Mikeelobe.
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: I could be wrong.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: What do we think. We haven't talked much about the
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: beer beer in the in the stadium, and.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: I mean since at that point, because people have paid
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: for it one then two. You don't want people getting
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: absolutely ship based.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if it was dollars, you want, you want, you
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: want adult, you want one game back destinated this dollar
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: beer night.
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think it invailed in the stadium.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: I really don't.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: Mean.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean sweet to go to, but I don't think.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: I don't think you can do that.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: I get it, but I also do well, like I said,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: it's mostly for mitigation against people getting absolutely trashed. You
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: could sell one beer and it's the equivalent of selling
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: two normal price beers, but they're only consuming one.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: But this is this is what I thought about it too.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: They weren't selling beer, so people just get absolutely shit
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: gained before the game.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: So that's that's the question. Obviously, I think you need
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: to do it for sale, like you're making revenue off that.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: You're gonna make a ton of money, Like there's no
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: no question on it, because people are gonna buy it.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: The amount of alcohol consumed before the game, Like I
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: actually think that this might maybe, I mean some people
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: like myself for example, it's not gonna change probably a
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: lot of the tailgating in what I do.
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: I think that's probably for a lot of people.
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: But some people might now say that just go to
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: the game, right that don't do a whole lot of tailgating,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Say all enjoy a beer during the game. Now, Like
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: I think that will happen more than we could probably think.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: I think they'll help the crowd stay lubricated later in
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the game. Two, I think the biggest positive is because
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: of the alcohol sales, there is no re entry, so
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: that's kind of a bad thing. But you're not going
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: to have those games where they, you know, the student
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: section leaves at half to go drink and then they
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: you know, correct, only a eighth of them trickle back.
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: In because students sections tough because what junior seniors maybe
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: you're twenty one.
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: Right, no, but you know, in generally at halftime there's
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of times where people would leave to go
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: back to tailgates over half and they come back, but
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: they never all came back, so the second half could
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: be a little bit flatter than the first.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: That will help a ton.
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: I agree with that too.
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if it's gonna be like basketball,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: but tens full of bucks. I mean, it's a big
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: beer you get the basketball games. It's so I don't
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: think it's like a horrible deal.
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: Dak. Let me ask you. You're going to You're probably
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: gonna go at.
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: Least a one game this year.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: I'm going to. Yeah, yep.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: What would the price of beer have to be for
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: you not to buy one in the stadium? Buy?
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Uh p twenty five dollars?
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Wow, that was good.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: I bet you would give a twenty dollars bill for
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I would what's your price, Hunter, it's raight up far off.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: I would pay tent dollars here.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: Here's my big thing too, And I think like drinking
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: before the game when there was not beer being sold
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: in the game, regardless of how much you have. I mean,
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: I never was one to drink so much, Like I
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: wanted enough to where I get to the game and
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: I have a little bit of a buzz, but I
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: can still focus in the game the whole time. Like
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: that's I have to watch about every snap and sit
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: there and be pissed most of the game. I think
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: having one beer then during the game keeps that just
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: flow going. By the time the end of the game
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: got over without a beer, I was, you're right that
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: third and fourth quarter, you're kind of just roggy. You're
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: the headache starts to kick in. You don't really you're
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: ready to go home. Even after some of the wins.
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: It was like, especially after you lose in a heartbreak,
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: You're like, get me out of this freaking town, Like
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I don't want to be here anymore now. Even just
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: having one tall beer or one or two throughout the
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: whole game. And and I to me, that's as a
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: game changer. Uh so, yeah, I would. I mean, I'd
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: pay a decent amount for just having one.
• 36:35
  Speaker 3: But I mean I'm in the game.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: Telve dollars isn't matter. Already be above my limits, Like
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: that's it. I can get a picture, but heavy at
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: the neighborhood bar for eleven, So it's.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Uh so, have to beat that runs a deal though.
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: The runs and the beer all priced the exact set.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: Let's move to the defense here, Corey for Beatrice cs
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: this defense? Are we talking good good or just what
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: we call Nebraska good? Top half of the Big Ten's cute,
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: but one a black Shirts level unit that actually scares somebody? Defensively,
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: last year we were pretty good. You know, Tony White's
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: been pretty good, like they've been solid. I think this
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: year most people are thinking maybe a little step down
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: the same level. You know, your optimistics are going to say, oh,
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: it'll be better. Uh, I agree, like having give us
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: that and I don't know what the black shirt true
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: black Shirts because I don't remember watching them because I
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: wasn't old enough, but like, give me that twenty ten defense,
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: a bow pliny defense, and that that guy was that
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: defense was so freaking good in our offense was us
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: trash and we we've seen things like that the past
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: few years too, where our defense has been very good.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: In our offense literally can't just do it, just do
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: something and we win a game. Defenses can't take us
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: take a huge step back. For me, and I think
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: we'll be fine. I don't think that we will be
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: back to black Shirts level this year. I honestly don't
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: have faith, not all faith in John Butler, but I
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: maybe he'll surprise us. I don't know that we'll ever
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: get back to that level in re upcoming years because
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: that defense was really really good, like out of ten
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: if you're putting numbers on it, but you know, get it.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: Get us to a seven this year, gets to a
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: six or seven, and I think we're going to be
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: in a good spot.
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: But right if we're gonna be in top fourth of defenses,
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: that's all we need.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, the last two seasons, I thought your defense free,
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: damn good, the top twenty. Yeah, I get coaching everyone
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: a lot of Yeah, I thought, and I thought the
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: year I thought they were I don't know what stats
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: to say, but I thought they were better the year
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: before when at Harberg and all those guys at quarterback,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: just to even keep you in games with how bad
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: your offense.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Was, you said, and that's how you judge a defense, right,
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: you mentioned the scoring defense, the yards against defense. However
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: you want to judge it, it's complementary to your offense.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: So if you are slow, longer time of possession, which
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: is good for the offense, but you know, taking more
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: time up to play clock. All of that, your defensive
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: stats are going to look better. Naturally. I think this
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: year what and we talked about last year too, what
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: could elevate the defense is forcing more turnovers. We did
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: more of that last year?
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Was it?
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Were we the turnover creating machine on defense? No, there's
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: some big thunder. We had a bit of storm going on,
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: and the Actress and Lincoln right now, ohas getting some rain.
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: But yeah, so as we're talking about the defense.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Throw the b a rule.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: One.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: I can't believe that we led the big ten time
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: possession last year. That stat still blows my mind. We
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: hardly scored like seventeen points a game. It's really real
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: credit to the offense. Yeah, but I mean yeah, I
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: probably agree. We'll probably be more like a seven and
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: a half defense. I think we'll be We'll be good,
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: but we're I don't think we're gonna have one an
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: Iowa game or not Iowa sorry Indiana game where we
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: just get their doors absolutely blown off. I don't think
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: that's happening this year.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: So here's I was thinking about this. Are you guys
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: rooting against Tony White like yours? Scott Frost.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: No, no, probably not already rooting against Scott Frost.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, I mean it's just because he's an idiot and
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: what you said.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Let's go to an interesting one from Jake in Barnston, Nebraska.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: I take time to retire serious for the toun of walk.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Love the tradition, but I swear my twelve year old
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: calls it dad music. Time for an upgrade. Uh, yeah,
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: not the first time I've heard this.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: No, I agree this. This is a pretty heavy topic
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: conversation last year, maybe even more so of the year before.
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: It's rules first year. I think it's fine, Like why
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: do we need Like, I don't know. I know it's
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: been changed before, and it hasn't always been that way,
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: so I'm fine with the change. But like it's ten minutes,
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: five minutes of a game, Like is it that big
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: of an impact If it's I don't know, do people
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: really care that much about it? Either way?
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Now, I would Frost changed it right his first year.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: He ain't got changed for a little bit.
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I mean it was horrible the one
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: I did not I like that one, But like you said,
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: it's not it's not the biggest deal out there. I don't.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: I will say when I was a kid, it matters
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: for kids more. Yeah, when I was a twelve year old,
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: like I looked forward to that part of the game.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Do you play the song at home and get hyped up?
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Yep?
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: That and I still get hyped up the Husker power
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: chant like that kind of stuff is cool for twelve
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: year olds. And but if.
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: They put a different song in there, it'd still be
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: cool for you.
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: If you can make into a tradition, I think that's
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: the big.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Thing, right.
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: You don't want to change it every year. You can't,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: And I think it takes the right hit to change
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: a long, long tradition to have it stick and everybody go, yep,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: this is this is good, Like we want this to stay,
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: kind of like they did for the end of the
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: third quarter with Thunderstruck, Like I think that's stuck now, right.
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: You have to do it a couple of years for
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: a job.
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: And people have to enjoy it, and they have to
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: think this is worth it. And I think all of it,
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: whether whatever tradition it is, I don't care what it is.
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: If you're winning while you're doing it, it becomes cool.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: If you lose and continue to lose while that tradition
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: is happening, you think is stupid. So like again, Scott Frost,
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: your documentary, you change a ton of walk we weren't winning.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: It goes well, that was dumb, Like what's the point
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: in that? So I I vote keep I wanted. I
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: still think it's it's unique and enough. It's something that
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: I still think people enjoy. If we start winning games
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: and and get back to national relevance, kids are gonna
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: think it's cool too. That's what I think. Speaking of
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: national relevance, Doug from Philly says, what's it gonna take
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: for us to.
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: Say Nebraska is back? Beating Cincinnati.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Nine wins head wins?
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Like? What? What?
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: What is that Bowl game after the first of the year.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: At some point we got to stop settling for quote
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: unquote progress.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: I'd say before I say that they're back, I'd say
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: three years of nine plus wins in a row.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, if we win nine games this year,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: the word Nebraska's back, it's going to be a lot
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: of places. Now if people are saying that that sarcastic like.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: Joke, Yeah, that'll be part of it.
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: But then there'll be something that I actually believe it
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: and think it's actually true.
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: But what's that number, Dak, I think playoffs eleven ten
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: eleven wins.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: So you're saying we are back.
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, to say yeah, I don't think nine wins is enough.
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: That's I mean, schedule wise, that's that's probably what you
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: are shooting for. This year's nine wins.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: I'm just looking big future. If we say that we're back,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: and we will if we get to the playoffs, God damn,
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: next year's expectations are going to be off the charts. Yeah,
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: but I agree often for to officially feel that way,
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: I agree, it's it's it's it's nine er, it's ten
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: wins and and ten wins is going to get you
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs a lot of times in the Big ten.
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: And it's consistently being there every year. And I think
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: it was it was after the it's a bopoline a
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: year when after we won a bowl game and he
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: makes the common Nebraska's back and we're here to stay,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: like after he won his tenth game one of those years.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Because he did it every year, I don't think that's
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: calling us back. That's the thing. That's what's tricky now.
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe in today's college football environment, when that ten wins
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: does get you playoff birth potentially or at least in
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: that conversation, that probably feels good. You know, you're older,
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: the older fans you get. I bet you a lot
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: of them go you got to be getting to the
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: semi finals because that's the expectation for us. It's definitely
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: not the case. I mean, what what what what would
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: we say? Nebraska basketball is back, but we've never been there,
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: so we can't be back.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: Makes the winning a tournament game in yeah, arrived you
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: I have.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: I'm with you there.
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: I think that's awesome.
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: I think that's a good way of measure And it's
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: got to be consistent. Now people are going to just
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: assume that if rule can do it one year, he's
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: going to keep doing it.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Consistent successful seasons. I'm not saying they need to make
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: the playoffs every year, but if you win nine games
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: three years in a row, it's like, okay, you can
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: be nationally relevant. You might make the playoffs two of
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: those three years.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: You might.
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: You know, you're making good bowl games outside that. Once
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: they bump into sixteen teams, like you're probably in.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: Having three years in a row where we are basically
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: in the top twenty five from start to finish. Yes, yeah,
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: maybe you know, maybe maybe falling out, but you know,
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: but we're in the top twenty five and this year
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: I think is set up perfect for us to at
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: least start that and then see where we end by
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: the end of the year. This is the way our
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: schedule plays out. I do think, you know the Cincinnati,
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: but disregard that missioning game. Even slipping that one up,
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: good chance that you still your schedule set up to
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: become five and one, six and one or that that's
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: probably gonna put you no matter who you play, if
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: you're if you're a power five school, six and one,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: you're probably in that conversation of being ranked. So I
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: think we're in a position to do that. But then
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: we'll see the other season ends.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: So you're you're telling me make it the main strap
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: bl then make you say you brass's back.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: You can put them in the Hall of Fame. Best
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: three and nine team ever.
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: Come on, yeah, think yeah, So what what number wins?
• 48:38
  Speaker 3: Will you guys be disappointed with?
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: Seven?
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say seven or last, Yet.
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: Depending how the seven goes, it could be seven. I think, yeah,
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: it'd be hard if we only win seven games with
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: this schedule, like it's pretty good some of these other
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: games like in the past. Yeah, it would that seven,
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: seven would be tough. It would be.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I'd say seven, like you said, depends on
• 49:13
  Speaker 3: how it goes.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Some people might be disappointed with eight.
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those people are fools.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: Like what what? But but what are the those four
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: if you're looking at our schedule, we lose four games like.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Eight Pens Michigan L s U or l C U
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: c l A, U C.
• 49:34
  Speaker 1: L A don't think is very good, but yeah we
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: lost them last year Iowa. I guess, like I think
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: people be disappointed if we lost to u C l
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: A Iowa, like basically saying, man, we shouldn't have lot,
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: like like we should have beat those teams, especially if
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: those games, I mean, those games are gonna be one
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: score games, like in my mind they should be.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: Now now the sky can easily falling after week one
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: you lose that game, yea.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: I don't want to talk about it, but.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: Someone's getting a little bit nervous if we get closer.
• 50:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, last couple here, uh, let's see great from Cladonia
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: when it was the last time A little Red did
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: something cool. It could be some meme machine now he
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: since they're bouncing around like an inflatable car a lot guy. Mascots,
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: any thoughts on mascots.
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: They're fine. They're for the kids. If we had the
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: little Red blimp, that would have been sick. That never
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: came to fruition. But I don't know what what do
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: they need to do?
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: They're just there, they're mascots. Yeah, this is yeah, give
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: us a hot taker, just fire one out here.
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the topic that just fired me up. I
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: maybe maybe start dancing doing some red Panda tricks during halftime.
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: I don't know, red Panda.
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you get a little Red up there on a cycle.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Incredible little Red pandad one more.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: It just kind of goes along with our last one.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: But Shannon from Plymouth says, real talk, what's the win total?
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: We should actually expect? Eight? Feels nice? It's only seven.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Don't start talking about hard questions.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: In year three. Wow, Like you read that question sooner.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: Should have Like, yeah, that's basically what we just talked about.
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: I think eight. I don't know. Again, this is where
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: you look at our schedule and you go, you win
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: eight games and you lose four, like, are we still?
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: Are we satisfied? Are we? Are we okay? If we
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: dropped at UCLA, we lose to Iowa again at home? Like,
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: is that okay? If we win eight games and those
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: are a couple of our losses, maybe, I mean, I
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: think I think it'll be hard if we win eight
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: games for us not to go, Man, what what could
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: have this season been? We got the schedule, it could
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: have been a ten win season. Are we being greedy?
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: Then that's a lot think about going, Think about ending
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: that you're going eight and four, knowing what those losses
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: could have been and where your mind's gonna be at.
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Are you gonna sit back and go, Okay, eight wins
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: better better than seven, better than six? Like we're making progress?
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Is that what we're gonna think?
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: Well? I feel like there are two reasonable losses. I
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: think if you lose to Michigan and you lose to
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: Penn State, it's.
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: Like, okay, South though too, Like that's that's a two
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: and a half point spread. I mean, that's it's at home.
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: Like it's almost a fifty to fifty coin flip game
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: if you're looking at it from a betting odd standpoint,
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: so it's another one there. You lose that game by
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: a touchdown or a field goal, and you play well
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: and you lose twenty seven to twenty four, and you
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: end the year eight and four. You're gonna look back
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: at that game and go, damn, like the season could
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: have been win that game or a people just gonna
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: go Nope, eight and four is good enough.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: I guess it just depends on the losses. If the
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: losses are all close, it's like, okay, we were right there.
• 53:25
  Speaker 4: And why shouldn't they be like or you point?
• 53:28
  Speaker 3: Are you flip?
• 53:28
  Speaker 1: Don't get out? We have it recent here.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: Iowa could end up being hella good this year. You
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: know they got their new you know, you just don't
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: know what the other teams look like. If i would
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: ends up making the playoffs and we lose to Iowa,
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: you see LA ends up winning nine wins or eight wins,
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: it's like, oh, okay, we we misjudged. Like last year,
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: we thought it was an easier schedule than all of
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: a sudden, Indiana was a playoff team.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, flip it. If say you go ten and two,
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: but you just get absolutely throttled in that Penn State
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: Mission game. You guys still happy.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Yep, yes, unless Penn State's like seven and five, right,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: but I think they will be.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: I got I got a question off of this, what's
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: what's the number where you seriously consider firing that rule?
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: Six for sure? For me?
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: Wow, that's that's how I was gonna say four or five.
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: It's five or six probably, I think.
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: I don't think with this schedule.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: I don't think going back to the pen Strike Bowl
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: at six and six is gonna make a lot of
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: people happy. It's gonna be very frustrating again, depending on
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: how it goes. Well, No, I shouldn't. You're not saying
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: fire though they're saying consider, which.
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: I think you're like, like you, I.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Shouldn't even say, depending how the season goes, because if
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: we go six and six and we are losing close
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: one score games again, that that might it's not, it's
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: probably not, but that's gonna piss so many people off
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: again because we've done it. Oh your ear now worse
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: than that. You get beat at UCLA by ten more
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: than a one score game. You get beat by Iowa
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: by fourteen, Like, that's really bad too. That's why it's
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: not even really dependent upon how the season goes. If
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: you go six and six, people are gonna be pissed
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: because no matter how you lose. Now, maybe you know,
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: you you almost beat ten State, or you almost beat
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: Michigan and they're both eleven and one, like, maybe that's
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: a scenario that you go, Okay, well we're there. But
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: I think for the most part, you go six and six,
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: no matter how you're losing those games, it's not gonna
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: be good. We're just we're impatient. We're not and I
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: think rightfully, so.
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: We've paid, We've paid well enough to be impatient. Yeah,
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: as far as.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: You go six and six, you would want Matt Rule fired.
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: No, I think you start the discussion. I think the
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: clock starts. I probably will say I want him fired.
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: You just let's be real. I probably will say that
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: for six and six. I will is that if the
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: discussions talked about. Yeah, and I'll probably be on that
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: side because I'll be tired of it, like I'll I
• 56:12
  Speaker 1: just I'm under the believer there's more young coaches that
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: we don't got to freaking pay what we're paying all
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: these don't. Yeah, what we don't got to pay him
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: a ship ton of money to get someone that has
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: motivation to come in here and freaking right now. I
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: think the rules could be that guy still like, but
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: if we're six and six, I'm there's no reason for
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: me to say yep. And if we're six and six, also,
• 56:34
  Speaker 1: the other thing is not going to be a pleasant
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: six and six. From a team oriented standpoint, Dylan Ryol
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: is not going to sit here and go, well, we
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: have we have, we were close in a lot of
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: these games, and and I think that you know, next
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: year is going to be the year. Well, I think
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: we go six and six or some stuff going on
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: that He's not happy either. And we're also talking a
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: lot bigger picture of transfers and all this stuff too.
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: So I do think six and is not gonna be
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: acceptable for a lot of reasons.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, let's be really here, We're sitting in the
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: car after the Internet game. You lose that game, you're
• 57:09
  Speaker 3: gonna fire.
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: Then I'll be very frustrated. But I won't be there
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: after game one unless it's like five, three, three, I
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: won't be there because I do think we're gonna be
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: two and one at the worst case scenario. And yeah,
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: you have a chance to win that sucker back you
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: go three and one in your first four games, you're
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of people happy, Like people are
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: gonna be thrilled, but people are gonna be pissed. You
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: go three and one through the Mision game, heading into
• 57:40
  Speaker 1: that first by a week, like you're gonna say, okay,
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: like that's probably what's expected somewhere between three and one
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: and four.
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: No, So.
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't want to have to talk
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: about that because I don't. Hope we don't, but we
• 57:54
  Speaker 1: won't have to.
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: Don't worry.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: Gosh, dang it, guys, I started off so optimist. That's
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: such a positive kool Aid drinking note. Yeah, he brought
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: me back down.
• 58:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we're gonna talk about three v here hans Hana
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: was getting more and more nervous. We get close to
• 58:11
  Speaker 3: that kickoff.
• 58:12
  Speaker 2: He always does.
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: I don't like it.
• 58:16
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: I don't like it. I don't think Cincinnati is great
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: and nobody's really high on them. That makes me like it.
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: I just yeah, everyone's just down talking them down playing
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: they might be right.
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: Mhm, it'll be fine, it'll be good. I think I
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: think we're all gonna be pleasantly surprised this year. That's
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: my gut reaction, my gut instinct, which is new. It's
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: a new new instinct really.
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: I mean either way, I'm absolutely jacked up for that
• 58:48
  Speaker 3: first game of the year.
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: Yes, thanks, the first time I gotta beat back in person. Yeah,
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: you know he's six foot four. Absolutely jacked.
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: No, no, don't get any of those up. Like everything
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: you just said opposite.
• 59:06
  Speaker 2: Never meet your heroes in person.
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm really nervous about. Not even nurse about
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 59:12
