• 1:54
  Speaker 3: One of your self proclaimed fandom teams that you're.
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: Now, Atta, I will not I will not ever say
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: I'm a Gophers fan.
• 2:03
  Speaker 7: I watched them casually.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Nope, you have said that, You've said you're a Minnesota
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: fan before the Gophers.
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: If they're like, yeah, yes, I'll root for them. They're
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: playing like Purdue or like Rucker or something like that,
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: I'm not going to root for them. They play Nebraska
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: or any like Okay, they play anybody who size Nebraska.
• 2:20
  Speaker 7: And Oklahoma, and that's it. I will root for the Gophers. Yes.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Uh. In the Vikings and if anybody goes to the Vikings.
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: Yep, Max Max Rosmer is there this year. What did
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: you think of him last year?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: He's great?
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he is. Hey.
• 2:41
  Speaker 6: The good part is from uh from our last podcast
• 2:46
  Speaker 6: on Sunday, and now we don't have much talk about
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: There hasn't been much in the news.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: No, and I do want to talk about that. I'd
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: like to wait for get Austin on here, but that
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: we're just going to do it now because I think
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: that's the juice of the week, and the juice we're
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: talking about, obviously is Matt Rule rumored to be a
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: leading candidate at the job at Penn States, which we
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: mentioned at the end of the previous episode that was
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: prior to Rule's press conference on Monday, where he addressed
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: it for about ten or fifteen minutes of the beginning
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: of his press conference, and that's been the main topic
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: of conversation here amongst Husker nation this week. Here's what
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: I don't want to do, Dak. I don't want to
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: sit here and talk about this for every week until
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: the end of the year. I want to get this
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: out of the way. I want to talk about it,
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: express our thoughts on it, and then move on and
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: we'll see what happens. I hope that that is how
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: the rest of Nebraska handles it as well. I just
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: don't know that that will be it. Talk about distractions,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: talk about other things. Of course, when things are going
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: well for US five and one favorable schedule, something like
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: this has to come in and throw a wrench and everything.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: I do think Rule does a good job of keeping
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: people focused and locked in and avoiding outside noise. It's
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: kind of been a message all year, to be honest,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: prior to any of this. But that being said, naturally,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: the conversation and the noise is going to be there
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: for Rule, potentially leaving to going to Penn State.
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: See, that's the way it should be, is with the
• 5:00
  Speaker 6: me and everything. They've already asked them all these questions.
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: Just ask the US one week. Can let it die,
• 5:05
  Speaker 6: Just play the rest season. Don't bring up every which
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: is gonna be brought up a lot the fans and everything,
• 5:10
  Speaker 6: well bring it up. But in a perfect world, we
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: hope that it's done after this week and dead.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: The only week I think that we my mentioning after
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: this is the Penn State game. We we will talk
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: about that week because obviously there's there's a reason there
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: we'll talk about it. But but yeah, it's which we're
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: gonna dive into your second. It's a it's a bad
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: situation just because Nebraska's finally turned the corner and something
• 5:39
  Speaker 6: like this happens, or at least we feel like nebrask
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: fans turned the corner.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we're moving. We're ranked again right for
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: the first time in a long time. And it's not
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: like we play some of the top teams in the
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: Big Ten coming up, like we have very winnable games.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: If we do this right as a program, including everybody involved,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: this should not affect the direction of Nebraska football moving forward.
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: And that's if a rule stays or leaves. I don't
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: want people to think all rule's gone we have to restart, No,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: we don't. No matter what progress we're making now, we
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: can build on that if rule leaves. If he doesn't leave, obviously,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: I think we all are in pretty much agreemance that
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: we're feeling like we're moving in the right direction. Now.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: There's obviously six games left too, it's not like we're back,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: like back back to where we need to be, Like,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: we're still we're moving there.
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: Before before you dive into it, can I are we
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: both in agreement if he is offer the job he
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: taking it?
• 7:00
  Speaker 7: Right?
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Well? Yeah, And I think there's a lot of questions
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: to ask, and we'll ask Austin right when he joins, Like,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: but there's two questions I think, first question, do you
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: think that he gets offered the job? Yes or no?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: And then two, if he gets offered the job, will
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: he take it? So you asked, if he gets offered
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: the job, will he take it? I'm saying yes.
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: To that one hundred percent. Yes.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: I think you're saying yes to that. And then second part,
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: do you think he gets offered the job yes or no.
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: I it was up to the AD. Yes, because it
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: sounds like they're best friends. But you rob up a
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: good point. I completely forgot about it's not up to
• 7:48
  Speaker 6: the AD, it's up to the donors. And I was
• 7:50
  Speaker 6: listening to different podcasts about this, which this throws a
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: little wrink on that Penn State game. Is when he
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: goes to Penn State sant Embraska blows him out? Is
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: that good or bad for Nebraska because the fans there'd
• 8:03
  Speaker 6: be like, holy crap.
• 8:04
  Speaker 7: We might actually want him.
• 8:06
  Speaker 6: So that's like, that's another wrinkle on that game is
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: do you wanna do you want to look fantastic in
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: that game? Because that's like his showing out body for
• 8:14
  Speaker 6: Penn State kind of.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I I'm going with yes. Basically to summarize my thought.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: If I had to make a prediction, I'm gonna say
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: he's coaching at Penn State next year. But yes, that
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: Dak you you made a great point. I do think
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: that it's up to the AD like to make the
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: call and the announcement and basically assume it's his decision.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: But when we talked about it with all of the
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Nebraska coaches that we've hired, in the past and football,
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: but other sports included. It's up to the people that
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: have the money. And all of these people, I mean
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of them, right You're talking about the donors,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: the board of directors that are out there at Penn State.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: You're talking about a ton of different people. I mean,
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: now with nil, there's more than that. Now there's collectives.
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: Everyone that has the money are the ones that are
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: going to be driving the decision on whether Rule is
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: the guy or not. We don't know. We're never going
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: to know the insight to those people. The AD might
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: have his opinions. We know the connection with the AD.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: I even learned a little bit even more about rules
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: connection there and that he went to high school in
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: State College. And if people don't know State College is
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: in the middle of nowhere, Penn State, Like it's not
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: like it's a metro area. So like Rules ties to
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Penn State are like strong and very deep as far
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: as I mean it's home. I'll bet you if you
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: ask him, Matt, where are you from, and he's going
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to answer State College, Pennsylvania like that, that's that's just
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: his answer. So I I do think yes, if he
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: gets offered the job. He's probably gonna take it, and
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: and and and that that's the reality of it. I
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: just think that's that's it. The question is will he
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Austin is here now, Austin. We have two questions. One,
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: if Matt Ruld gets offered the job, will he take it?
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Yes or no? That's what we just did that reaction. No, okay,
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: do you think he gets offered the job? That was
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: the second question. No okay, I said, he asked to both.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: Dak said yes and.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: Leaning yes, but not one hund percent yes on the
• 10:56
  Speaker 7: other one.
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: No, I'll so we said, we're only talking about this
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: now for like half of this episode, and then we're
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: not talking about.
• 11:07
  Speaker 7: It again besides the Penn State preview.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Unless there's like actual news that comes out that he
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: does or doesn't take it. But yes, I understand your statement.
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: And definitely when you watch the the press conference for
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: both Penn State and Matt Rule, it felt like the
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: Penn State guy was laying the groundwork to hire Matt Rules.
• 11:29
  Speaker 8: He's basically repeating a bunch of things Matt Rule always says.
• 11:32
  Speaker 8: And then Matt Rule was like, hey, man, like I
• 11:37
  Speaker 8: think he said, that's where I'm from. You know I
• 11:40
  Speaker 8: I grew. I probably came out of the womb. We're
• 11:42
  Speaker 8: in Penn State, Jersey. It's like, I don't know, those
• 11:46
  Speaker 8: are some weird things to say when you're coaching another team.
• 11:51
  Speaker 3: Rules Rule is going to say it as it is.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: He said to He's going to be transparent and honest
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: with his guys too, Like that's we know, that's Rule's personality.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: So I am not surprised the way it came out
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: and the way he talked Monday that he literally just
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: speaks his mind a lot to the point where all
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: the way to where he can. So yes, I agree
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: that know how it came out.
• 12:15
  Speaker 8: And then yesterday or two days ago where he's talking about,
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: you know, Nebraska needs to spend more money, Like I
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: can't tell if he's just if he's trying to squeeze
• 12:26
  Speaker 8: more money out of the boosters or.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: What.
• 12:31
  Speaker 8: I just if I am a Penn State fan, if
• 12:35
  Speaker 8: I'm Penn State, you fire a guy because he could
• 12:37
  Speaker 8: win the big games.
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I just struggled to be like, we're gonna.
• 12:40
  Speaker 8: Hire this guy, and it really depends on how the
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: year goes, I guess, but Rules one and twenty against
• 12:47
  Speaker 8: Top twenty five teams in his career, Like, I just don't.
• 12:51
  Speaker 8: I can't see you justifying that well, being like, hey,
• 12:56
  Speaker 8: we just fired a guy who was fifteen and twenty
• 12:57
  Speaker 8: six against big teams because he couldn't get done, and
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: we're gonna hire this other guy who has also no
• 13:02
  Speaker 8: proven record. That's something you have to hire someone who's
• 13:05
  Speaker 8: had some some success again strength opponents.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'm being negligent or just you know, in denial,
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: but yep, a couple of things. I'm back there. First
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: with the Penn State wanting him. I we know nothing.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Everything that Husker fans are saying and that you're probably
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: reading and seeing and hearing like is all complete speculation
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: from a Nebraska fans perspective, Like we I know one
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: PI Penn State fan, my uncle, and he wants Rule.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: He thinks he'd be a good coach. He lives out
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: in Maryland, is actually who he visited out there, and
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: he thinks Rule would be a good hire. That's the
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: only person I know. I don't know anything about their boosters.
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: And again the ad we know that situation, we don't know.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: We're just speculating based on what we're hearing now. And
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: of course the people that want Rule to stay, They're
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: going to give reasons why he wouldn't be a he
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: wouldn't be a good hire for Penn State. My question,
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: I guess when you go through that list, and actually
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: kind of when we go through the list of play
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: the what if card if Rule's gone the list for Nebraska, like,
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: who are the other coaches out there that.
• 14:23
  Speaker 8: That's that is a good counterpoint that's.
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: Right now are in candidacy for that job? And and
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: some of the things. You know, there's a whole bunch
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: of names out there. Penn State is a very top
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: tier job in the country.
• 14:35
  Speaker 8: So you can you get a bigger you have a
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: bigger list to pick from when you're Penn State.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Do so? Like who the people are? I mean you
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: could you could throw out a ton of names. How
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: many proven you know, proven successful coaches right now are
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: there in college football?
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: That's not want many?
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Yes, So that's the other caveat to that is, yes,
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: that narrative of Rule has not won big games a lot. Yeah,
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: he hasn't proven that yet. Rule right now is a
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: everywhere he's been what kind of coaches? He's a rebuilder?
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: Penn State doesn't need rebuilt Penn State's built already. They
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: need someone that can win immediately and now they need
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: probably some culture things to change a little bit, and
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: an in game type coach rules. Not an in game
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: coach though, like that was the concern with Penn State
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: was didn't know how to coach in games. They had
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: the players of talent. Culture is pretty good, but they
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: just they just don't know how to win the games correctly.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: What that's not really rule don't win the games correct
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: They just don't know how to win one or two
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: games a year. Right.
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: Here's the thing about him being a rebuilder though he
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: doesn't coached a team that's been already built. Baylor, Temple,
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: and Nebraska all need to rebuilt. So we don't know
• 15:57
  Speaker 6: how he jumped into a team that's already built.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: Right, that's the unknown.
• 16:03
  Speaker 8: No, I definitely see I could see it. I'm not
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: I would not be shocked if it happened.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: And would you be mad if you live for Penn
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: State Austin.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Would I be mad?
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: I'd be mad if he left and then took Dylan
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: Roola and Mike g.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Eckler and Dana Holkerson.
• 16:22
  Speaker 8: Yeah, that would that would be the part it wouldn't
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: be the if he left. It's like, okay, but if
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: he gets the team in the process and takes all
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: of our good players and our best coaches, which is,
• 16:32
  Speaker 8: you know, a real thing that very well could happen,
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: I would be devastated. It'd be like all the last
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: three years didn't matter. We're starting from square one.
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: Okay. I know we're talking in a lot of circles,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: but I want to come back to all that. What
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: you just said, could I do? Actually, you know what,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: we'll just figure I got with that. I don't think
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: that it's going to affect our program much. I don't
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: think Dylan's leaving. I don't know about like Eckler. I
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: don't think Eckler's probably leaving. I don't know that if
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: Rule takes that job, things have to change much for
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: a Rascal football. As far as the momentum that we
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: have currently sitting right now on October sixteenth, we obviously
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: still have a season spiral here. And the question that
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: the point here is our season doesn't have to spiral,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: and it shouldn't spiral if we don't as fans and
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: media and outside forces force it upon the team to
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: make it a big deal and we talk about outside noise. Yes,
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: there's going to be natural spot here and this week's
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: going to be the heavy, heavy one because the news
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: came out and it's going to stay around. I hope,
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: and I think we won't hear stuff here for a while.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: If it's real. It's not Rule because right now it's
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: still the middle of the season and there's probably a
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: lot of discussions and things like that and Penn State
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: to do before naming a head coach. So if we
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: stay out of it and not keep poking the bear
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: and the conversation, regardless whether Rule leaves or stays, we're
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: sitting in a good spot for moving forward. Assuming this
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: year we just we can ignore it and continue to
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: build them where we're at if we don't. If we don't,
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: I think it will be our fans in media's ignorance again.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: I'm glad Thursday. I watch Thursday's press conference. I'm like,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: please God, nobody asked him about Penn State again, and
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: nobody did, and it was I was like, well, okay, okay,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: like this is good. Sorry Wednesday's press conference because today's Thursday.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: So I was like, okay, we didn't. Of course, the
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: first question Monday, though. We talked about it for a
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: while and I was like, oh boy, and Rule handled
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: it like you should. You have to ask on Monday.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: You have to ask, you do. But guess what the
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: leading job and it's a little bit different. Here's another
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: leading candidate right now that you guys have heard say
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Boom Signetti. Guess what Monday's Indiana press conference. Not a
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: single person.
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: Yes, there is a total difference when the GM or
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: the you know, the AD is like your best but
• 19:30
  Speaker 8: you grew up in Penn stage.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: A little bit. Yes there is. Rule is total difference
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: the leading leading candiate. But Signetti is another one and
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: they didn't ask him about it. So what I'm just saying,
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: and I'm glad the Husker media has not brought it
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: up again yet, Like we got his opinion, We know
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: where he sits right now on it all. Whether you
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: like it or not, some people didn't like it or
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: aren't gonna like it. For the future here, we don't
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: have to let it derail our program. Rule is done
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: a pretty damn good job of getting building us. I'm
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: not gonna say complete read, but building us in a
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: positive direction so far. We can keep building on that
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: obviously with him here. But even if he decides to go,
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: we don't have to blow it all up, because if
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: we blow it up and make it a big deal
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: and say why would you leave? Oh, guess what, he
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: probably is going to go to Dylan Rayola. A little
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: more push here, and he probably is gonna go ton
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: Isaiah Hunter, probably is going to go to Rex Guthrie
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: and probably I mean, he's gonna try anyways, but if
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: you really disrupt the situation, he's gonna try even more
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: to say come with me, get get out of this place.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: They're toxic, Mike. I'm not saying he's going to call
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: us toxic puppy. He's not ever gonna say that publicly,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: probably not even ever gonna say it to the players.
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: But the more reason that you give him and negatively
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: have that perception of him leaving, it's going to set
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: us back here further. And Austin what you said, he
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: could take a lot of people, and if that scenario
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: does happen, then we are back, not back to square one,
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: but we take a big step back of having to
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: rebuild again. We don't have to do that. If Rule
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: wants to leave, and it makes sense.
• 21:15
  Speaker 8: I think the most comforting thing that happened was when
• 21:19
  Speaker 8: Roola got asked about it.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: He's like, he's not going anywhere. He's our coach.
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: So that means like rule has addressed in the locker
• 21:24
  Speaker 8: room and he's not gonna want to derail this season.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I do believe on that whole side of things, like I,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: out of any human being to handle it with college
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: kids rules, the best person to do that. He just
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: he's very good at that stuff. And I do think
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: you know, coaches can be the sleeve balls and say no, no, no, no,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: I'm not going anywhere, and they say it publicly and
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: then two days later it's announced and everybody's like, what
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: the fuck, It's not gonna happen with rule.
• 21:59
  Speaker 7: Yep Ah, he did that barely with the Panthers.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen with the rule here.
• 22:07
  Speaker 7: No, I don't.
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: I don't think that he's he wants to leave ne
• 22:10
  Speaker 6: brass if if he does leave a pissy, he won't leave.
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: Nebraska in a good spot.
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: Everybody does. Yeah.
• 22:16
  Speaker 6: Now, like you're saying is if the fans and the
• 22:20
  Speaker 6: media turn on him, he's gonna say at this I'm
• 22:23
  Speaker 6: not gonna leave a good spot hands.
• 22:25
  Speaker 8: The media won't turn on They didn't even turn on
• 22:27
  Speaker 8: Scott Frost and he was terrible. The fans did, but
• 22:31
  Speaker 8: the media did not.
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: And I wouldn't say when I say, when I say
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: turn I don't think any of us are gonna say,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: you're a dumb idiot. Why why would you go like?
• 22:42
  Speaker 7: But more annoy him.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Annoy annoy him, and again pending how the year goes
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: to finish the year out. If we start, if we
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: lose a couple of games, hopefully we don't, hopefully we
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: just keep winning, then things are really good. We're in
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: a good spot. But if we start to lose a
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: couple of games, start throwing that out there as an
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: excuse or a reason for why we're losing. Oh, is
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: you you think this this the loss to Minnesota? Do
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: you think this week? You know, distraction with all of
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: Penn State and everything was a was a big factor
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: here and losing this game and bringing up that a lot.
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: That was my best Seohn Callahan impression, by the way,
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: Uh do you think that?
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: Uh?
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: I think you know that that's gonna be a conversation. Rules.
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: Rule's gonna get sick of hearing that. If we're losing
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: a game or losing games because he won't believe and
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: I don't. I won't either, Like, that's not why we're losing.
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: He's still trying to build, he's trying to leave. If
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: he is leaving, he's trying to leave Nebraska at a good
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: spot because I do think he truly cares about this
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: place and loves it here. So it's not there's obviously
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: no ill will against Nebraska unless we give him ill
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: will against Nebraska.
• 23:54
  Speaker 8: That being said, I do think if he was leaving,
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: he's definitely he's not not gonna be like, hey, you
• 24:00
  Speaker 8: guys want to come play for me in Penn State.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: We can make it happen. If Real is like, hey,
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: I want to you know, if Real.
• 24:07
  Speaker 8: He I don't think he's gonna He's not gonna's gonna
• 24:09
  Speaker 8: be like Nebraska sex just come to Penn State with me.
• 24:13
  Speaker 8: But he's definitely gonna have the conversation of oh yeah,
• 24:16
  Speaker 8: pastors my friend, oh yeah.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: And that leads into Austin what you mentioned earlier too
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: about just Rule's comments on the job itself. And I
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: do think this is kind of my big last thing
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: I want to unpack here before we start talking Minnesota. Sorry,
• 24:36
  Speaker 3: if you're here to listen to Minnesota preview, we have
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: we have we had to give our thoughts on this.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Ever wants to.
• 24:41
  Speaker 7: Hear, yeah, this is this is what they want to
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: hear about.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's it's just what's the big news here?
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: So I have to do this one time. But the
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: job itself and Real talked a lot about that, and
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: and I thought I thought Rule was a master. On
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Monday in his position on how he handled it, he
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: basically laid out his demands on what he thinks Nebraska
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: needs to be an elite program. And I get it.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Nebraska has a lot of resources. Nebraska is very well
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: off from a facility, resource, financial standpoint for where we
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: have performed the last fifteen years. But Rule's goal is
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: to coach for the top of the top, the cream
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: of the crop, the elite programs in college football. And
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: he mentioned some of the things that Nebraska was at
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: the forefront and at the cutting edge of when they
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: were really really good. We're not there, guys. We are
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: not a cutting edge program and a leader in a
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: lot of things right now. And he wants to be
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: all of the number he threw out the thirty to
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: forty million dollars roster thing, and I don't think he's
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: brought that up a few times. He brought it up
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: with the run back thing about needing to have the
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: money to you know, to pay people like that's a
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: real thing obviously in today's world. And we are we're not.
• 26:13
  Speaker 3: We are not an elite program in college football right now.
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: And and yeah, winning comes with a lot of that,
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: and that's part of it. We have not been very good,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: but real wants to coach for an elite team. So
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: if you want to ask me what's the better job,
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: take all the past history out Penn State or Nebraska State.
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: But but I've heard of other fans saying that the
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: brass did better job, which is just they need their
• 26:44
  Speaker 6: rain checks.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: I agree with that. That's and then and that that
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: get people do and and and that's my point is
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: we're naive. We're ni if you don't if you're not
• 26:54
  Speaker 3: ingrained in college football. And I'm not saying we are either,
• 26:59
  Speaker 3: But other schools are way are getting way more advanced
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: than we are. And yeah, we just had a brand
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: new update a facility for our practice facility. That's that's
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: a good step right, the stadium upgrades and all that.
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: Like that's another thing that kinda has gotten mentioned, like
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: we are again, we're good, like we're we're definitely a
• 27:18
  Speaker 3: seven or eight out of ten, but Rule wants to
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: be a ten out of ten. He doesn't want to
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: settle and say we'll get what we get what we're
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: willing to accept. We're okay with being a seven right after.
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: He wants to be a ten out of ten. And
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: those programs there's we could name dak and I did
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: it the other day. We probably named ten or fifteen
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: jobs from a big picture perspective are better than the
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Nebraska job. And that's it's just a truth act.
• 27:45
  Speaker 7: It was like jobs that are you stay for life, right.
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: Like the job that there's probably you're not gonna take
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: much more of a step up.
• 27:54
  Speaker 7: Yeah, Infans State wasn't one of them.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: But no, that's not even one of those. I would
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: say it, So we don't. I don't think people realize
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: there's way more money at some of these other schools.
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: There's more support from finan I mean financially is mainly
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: what I'm talking about. But that's the world we live
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: in because now it's with the players and everything that
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: goes along with college football is now with money. So
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: that being said, I think people have to bin that
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: in Nebraska is not the best job in the country
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: right now. It's just a fact until we get back
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: to the main thing is the winning.
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: The only time it was the best job in the
• 28:35
  Speaker 8: country is when Tom Osborne retired. Yep, when it's it
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: was a national championship in the brand was as big
• 28:43
  Speaker 8: as it'll ever get. It's tough because he's definitely talking nil.
• 28:47
  Speaker 8: I mean, he's saying we need more money, and I understand,
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: but you know, it's like there is a limit. Like
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: Nebraska's a state school. It has half the enrollment of
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: state like those like I just don't know if Nebraska
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: is ever going to be able to spend as much
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: money as p Yeah.
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: And there is a there is a I mean call
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: it a limit. But I guess that's what Rule's kind
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: of saying is is like, I don't he's I don't
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: care where it comes from. I I heard someone else say, people,
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: remember Warren Buffet's not a Nebraska fan, which I thought that.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you didn't know, I didn't know that.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: Whoever those people are, I don't know who those are.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: It's not us like Austin from me. I, I just
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: that it's a big deal, Like we have the eighteen
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: ninety that's great. I heard that was it last year?
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: I heard Texas A and M had it was like
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: twenty something different collectives that they are conglomerates that are
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: raising funds we have won. Yeah, they have an oil country.
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: We're not. We're not back to those bankers. And that's
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: the world we live in. So yeah, he's he's speaking
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: to that all like he is. He is expressing that
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: as the current head coach in Nebraska. So like I thought,
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: I thought, But that's that's the reality of it. If
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: you want to be he's not settling for being. We're
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: gonna be average, and we're gonna be we're good at
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: going eight and four, nine and three, competing for a play.
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: He's he wants to be elite at Penn State. He
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: has the ability to be elite if if things go
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: well at Nebraska. What is our ceiling? What's our ceiling?
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Cant can we can we buy enough players and roster
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: and talent to ever win a national title again? I
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: don't know if we can right now, Like you said,
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Austin is where we're at. It's just that's part of
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: it unless something changes. So that's what he's saying. That's
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: exactly what he's saying. Yeah, I mean, yes, the team
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: can win with less money. Can It's a lot harder.
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: And I think it's either that there's the plea of
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: there needs to be a cap or we need more money.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: Like that's that's basically what he's saying, right because we
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: can't compete and we're not the only school in Minnesota's,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: Wisconsin and Iowa's again we're where I would say we're
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: out or above all those schools. Right It's we're talking,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: we're talking elite, and we're not in any position to
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: compete with the elites right now. We're even put ourselves
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: in the conversation. But for rules sake, like you should
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: want that. That's what you should want as a competitor,
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: as a head coach is to be elite, top of
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: the line and everything that we do. And that's what
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: he's talking about.
• 31:37
  Speaker 6: And it's lots off for now if there's nil era
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: that we're in, like it's wait, which I was gonna
• 31:44
  Speaker 6: I didn't know Warren Buffet was not ambrass fan. I
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: was gonna say, don't we have one of the richest
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: people in the war are in the country, in the
• 31:50
  Speaker 6: state here, throw some money, winkin warn and Buffett at
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: the program.
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: There are plenty of rich people that come through Nebraska.
• 32:00
  Speaker 8: They're Nebraska fans, but we're not. Like I said, a
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: majority of students.
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Are farmers or in state.
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: And it you know, our pool is a lot smaller
• 32:13
  Speaker 8: to squeeze from.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: And the last thing that I heard that I loved
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: this week too. We have to kind of get out
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: of in what we're saying here too. We have to
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: get out of the quote unquote Nebraska way when it
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: comes to spending money. I think Nebraska people have that
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: blue collar, tough nose mindset of no, we can just
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: win on toughness and grits, and we can drive a
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: beat up Chevy. We don't have to day, we don't
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: have to drive the twenty twenty five for f one fifty.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: We can we can drive. We can drive the beat
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: up and still kick your ass like I'm sorry, people
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: like we can't do that right now now, Austin, I agree.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: You get a cap on it on money and we're
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: at that Max along with fifty other schools. Okay, we
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: can go back to that narrative a little bit, but
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: we're not there. It's it is you got to compete
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: with the elite programs. You have to buy them right now,
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: and you have to have the access to that capital
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: to do that. And I'm completely in agrance we don't
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: have the same ability as some of these other schools.
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: Before we dive in Minnesota because it's our last podcast
• 33:31
  Speaker 6: talking about this, you have to think about this down
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: the road, and I a wild name throughout there. Say
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: Rule does leave, Who do you guys want as the
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: next head coach?
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: James Franklin. I don't want him. It won't be a
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: terrible higher No, I think.
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: I don't think. I don't want James Franklin.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: He's he's too he's too he's too uptight for me.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: He's too I don't know. Use USF the University of
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: the Word to head coach. Yeah, Golish would wouldn't be
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: I don't. I don't mind him. I still I still
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: really want Eckler. I don't know that Eckler will happen,
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: but I think that would be awesome. And you do
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: a damn good job.
• 34:13
  Speaker 6: I'm dead serious about the Eckler job or getting the
• 34:17
  Speaker 6: job here.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: I think that he would be a hell of coach here.
• 34:20
  Speaker 7: Like that's serious. Now there's one name. I'm not that serious.
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: Found this is going to be the only podcast you
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: hear about this name thrown out there. What do you
• 34:27
  Speaker 6: guys think about will Compton get out of here just
• 34:32
  Speaker 6: saying effort he has no coaching experience, give him the job?
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Okay, No, I'm the head coach, but being involved with
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: the new coach with some role sure, yes, not the
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: head coach, but on the staff, yes, potentially.
• 34:57
  Speaker 6: So so you want you want to just say we'll
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: just give him the head coaching job. No, I mean
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: that that could either if you get in that Dutch job,
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: if there's none between, it's gonna go absolutely fantastic, or
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: it's gonna a train wreck real quick. And I think
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: you'd lean towards streen wreck. But it'd be it'd be
• 35:14
  Speaker 6: wouldn't be as crazy on it. If he would get
• 35:16
  Speaker 6: the head coach job, would be like a show here basically.
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: Coches Georgia Tech's head coach. I think Nebraska would be
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: an upgrade.
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: Over What do you think about Signette. Do you think
• 35:29
  Speaker 7: he would Maybe he.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Would never, he's not even I don't think Nebraska spot
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: for him. I think a lot of the same coaches
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: that you're hearing right for the Penn State job, you're
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: gonna hear a lot of the same for Nebraska. Probably
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: admit a little bit of a step down, but it's close.
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: Like we're we're not We're We're an attractive job. We're
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: better than Virginia Tackle put like Virginia Tech looking for
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: a coach. We're higher than that. If it were to
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: open up the other one that I all throw out
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: there that I thought was interesting. Now, if Alabama keeps
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: winning and is in the playoffs and everything is not happening,
• 36:09
  Speaker 3: But if things fall off here with Klein de boor
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: at Alabama, I'm not saying he's not going to get fired,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: but he might just get sick of the because yes,
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: comparisons banter and and I want to come back to
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: the middle. I remember he's from South Dakota, so come
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: back close to here. And also remember guess who hired
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: him at Washington, Troy Dannon. That's true, So again, he's
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: he's not leaving. Obviously. Take eleven and one but if
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: things fell off, they don't, they don't make the playoff.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Alabama fans are pissed. They want they want to change.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: They're probably not going to fire him because he's still
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: in year was he year three now right year two,
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: So they're probably gonna fire him. But I could see
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: that being up. But you know, I don't. I shouldn't
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: say this. If I had to say yes or no,
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: will Roll be your head coach? A twenty twenty six
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: My I'm putting my money on no.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: No.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: I don't want you a lean I want you to
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: make a prediction. Nack No, Austin saying.
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: Yes, yes, you guys are a hard no on Dione
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: Sanders meaning.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: The coach hard No, I'm muting you. Okay, okay, let's
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: move on. Minnesota talk here. That was that went longer
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: than I wanted to, but I think it's important give
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: our thoughts on it now. We're not going to talk
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: about it again.
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: Short week.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: We play in less than forty eight hours here from
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: when we're recording this Thursday morning against the Gophers and Minnesota.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: Minnesota's I didn't even look see what their record was,
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: but it's Minnesota.
• 37:58
  Speaker 7: I quorn too.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: Four and two, Dak I think you mentioned to me
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: they are a different Minnesota team than what we're used to.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: My brain has a hard time of me wrapping itself around.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: I think they do have a quarterback that I mean,
• 38:11
  Speaker 3: the red shirt freshman. He's more of a passer than
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: a runner, which is what we've kind of seen now
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: that this guy maybe can't run at all, or the
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: other guys are a little more elusive that we've played
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: the past few games. Darius Taylor would him good running back.
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: Minnesota running backs have seemed to just feast on us
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: in the past several years, maybe not to the extent
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: that Iowa running backs have, but close to it. And
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: PJ Fleck I think has done a pretty good job
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: of just being consistent and consistently good at Minnesota. That's
• 38:52
  Speaker 3: my high level take on Minnesota. And it's hard to
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: win up there. It's been that there's a reason why
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: we've I don't I don't know what the status haven't
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: won there in a while and five years they you know,
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: even just playing them in general, that it just it's
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: a it's a tough team to beat. So I think
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: going up there's gonna be a challenge Obviously there's noise
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: this week. I think that's going to impact the team
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: to some extent. You hope it's very little, But this
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: team's gonna try to go We're gonna try to go
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: up there and win a football game and try to
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: block everything else out. And I do think we have
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: I think we're better than them from a roster standpoint.
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: I'm saying that a little bit of hesitancy, but I
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: do think what we've seen maybe we are. And it
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: reminds me a lot of where I felt on Real's
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: first game going up there, our very first game in
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: year one. Do you guys remember the point spread? No,
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: I don't remember the points spread from.
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: Seven and a half.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: It was. It was seven and a half or seven
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: right now, and that's where it's sitting at now. You know,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: it feels like we should win that game by a touchdown.
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: We went up there with our boy Jeff Simms. We
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: lost by a touchdown, lost by a touchdown. We were learning.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: He was he was like he said, he was learning
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: the big ten. That was the first first game of
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: the year, and we also grown a lot. Yep, we've
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: lost the last five.
• 40:27
  Speaker 8: The last last time we played them, we lost by three,
• 40:29
  Speaker 8: and then we lost by seven seven seven seven, and
• 40:33
  Speaker 8: then we got walloped bye Minnesota one year. But yeah,
• 40:39
  Speaker 8: you're right, they're consistently good Minnesota. Hasn't Quaver made that jump?
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: I don't. Is PJ.
• 40:48
  Speaker 8: Fleck ever on the hot seat? Is this the series
• 40:50
  Speaker 8: on the hot seat? But they are foreign too. They
• 40:55
  Speaker 8: lost to Ohio State, so that one's kind of a
• 40:58
  Speaker 8: negligible law to an extent, because it's fair that they
• 41:03
  Speaker 8: could compete with Ohio State. But they also lost at
• 41:06
  Speaker 8: cal week three. Last week, they beat Purdue at home
• 41:11
  Speaker 8: by seven. They beat Rutgers by four or by three
• 41:15
  Speaker 8: before Ohio State at home, and the other two were there.
• 41:20
  Speaker 8: You know, they're tune up games. So again we're kind
• 41:23
  Speaker 8: of in the spot where they didn't beat Rutgers or
• 41:26
  Speaker 8: Purdue by a lot, but they did beat them at home,
• 41:30
  Speaker 8: and you know, we can read into that that maybe they're, oh,
• 41:39
  Speaker 8: they're probably they're probably worse than us, and we should win.
• 41:42
  Speaker 8: The spread opened at five and a half and has moved.
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: Up, so we got all the way up to the
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: nine and a half.
• 41:47
  Speaker 8: Yeah, but the fact that we're ranked makes me think
• 41:52
  Speaker 8: that we're gonna lose short week we went to Maryland.
• 41:56
  Speaker 8: I mean, honestly, it feels like there is there's there's
• 42:00
  Speaker 8: a fair amount of Penn State.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: I understand that rules probably speaking in the.
• 42:04
  Speaker 8: Locker room, like hey, don't worry about this, guys, But
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: we were at Maryland last week and we come home
• 42:10
  Speaker 8: short week go up to Minneapolis. It feels a little
• 42:14
  Speaker 8: not trap gaming, but I mean it's one of the
• 42:18
  Speaker 8: larger spreads that gets most.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: That we've had. We have not beat them in five years.
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: So if you were and I've said this, I think
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: every week this year going into the season and we
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: were looking at our schedule like this was one of
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: those games that people would they were calling it the
• 42:36
  Speaker 3: trap game, right, But I think every game if you
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: had to predict a spread or put a spread on it,
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: all the stuff the season's kind of been up and
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: down with news and stuff and the way the games
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: have gone, this is about what I expected coming into
• 42:54
  Speaker 3: the year. We'd beat a touchdown or less favorite on
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: the road and this is the trap game for whatever reason.
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: Where we're at in the season like that still is
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: a little bit how I feel. And now there's obviously
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: added elements to it because it is it's Minnesota that
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: we struggle with them. It's Friday night, it's I'm sure
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Husker fans are going to travel, but I don't think
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: you're gonna get as many because it's a Friday night game.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: It's harder to get to road. But people aren't going
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: to be able to leave after work on Friday or
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: travel Saturday morning. Whatever. Like it's it's Friday night, there's
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of Husker fans or I can
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: bet that too, but just maybe not as much as
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: there would be on Saturday.
• 43:38
  Speaker 6: It's gonna be it's gonna be a lot tougher road
• 43:41
  Speaker 6: environment in Maryland, like Minnesota is a good fan base.
• 43:46
  Speaker 6: I mean you're up there. Well is that two or
• 43:48
  Speaker 6: three years ago? And it was it was pretty loud
• 43:50
  Speaker 6: there for for a road game, like they're gonna it's
• 43:53
  Speaker 6: not gonna be Maryland where it's seventy fans, it's gonna
• 43:57
  Speaker 6: be it's gonna be tough.
• 43:58
  Speaker 8: For probably se Minnesota fans. Yeah, probably like thirty fans.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: And I might even venture to go further in that.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, I've been there twice. It's now Actually
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: right that Thursday night game, there weren't really Husker fans there.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, I I I remember that there's a little
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: section that I was kind of we were kind of
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: sitting in. Was not very It was nothing like a
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: lot of the road games I've been to because of
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: it was a weak night. So yes, I'm with you.
• 44:30
  Speaker 6: The thing about p J. Fleck is he just he
• 44:33
  Speaker 6: finds a way to win it. Time reminds me of
• 44:36
  Speaker 6: Farens that I was, which it's not to that extreme,
• 44:38
  Speaker 6: but he just finds a way to scratch out wins.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: It.
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: It talently has like Minnesota always has, seems like lesser talent,
• 44:46
  Speaker 6: but he always gets his teams to seven eight wins
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: and and hangs with likes of Nebraska. They usually get
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: blown out by Ohio State, Pans State, but they always
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: hang around with these mid tier teams, and then they
• 45:01
  Speaker 6: usually come out with the win against Nebrasket, which is
• 45:05
  Speaker 6: which way it's men.
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: It'll it'll be interesting to see which.
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: Which I've never saw this watching the Gophers being a
• 45:15
  Speaker 6: past first team and I don't know, I don't know
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: how that's gone so far, but I don't know, like
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: last week with the to the ball forty five times
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: that that never happens with the gopherst.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, Tanner Worgan's pretty good for his old day.
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: Ye aren't you? Aren't you guys? Glad that Mo evenhineing
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: me isn't back there.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Whoever, I'm glad that they're like four senior offensive linemen
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: graduated finally.
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: Yeah whatever that The last time we played them, it
• 45:43
  Speaker 8: felt like every every offensive linement was like a fourth
• 45:46
  Speaker 8: or fifth year senior who is six foot four and
• 45:48
  Speaker 8: three pounds.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. If flex Flex developed a culture there you mentioned Farence,
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: like the teams that probably don't have as much talent,
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: but they developed culture with them at the top of
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: this this second tier that we're talking about in the
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: Big ten top or towards the top, and that's the
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: one we've been talking about where where where Nebraska is
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: at And we've been at the bottom of that tier,
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: if not fell out of it in recent years and
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: we're back here and trying to climb towards the top
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: of it. And Minnesota is another one of those teams.
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: Maryland was, Michigan State was where if we want to
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: be at the top, we have to win a game
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: like this and where we think we've said that we
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: do have better talent but it's been the program, the culture,
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: the one score losses, the pressure that all this stuff
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: that's lost us these games where Minnesota handles that very
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: very well, Iowa handles that very very well. We look
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: like we are handling that very very well this year.
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: So let's see if we can continue to climb and
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: be the better football team, the better program that where
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: we're at this week amidst all the news, does the
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: fact that we're ranked give you pun another noise? It's
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: another noise thing. I think again, it can be handled,
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: but I am with you. It's another added element. It is.
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: It's another added element in a weird way. The rule
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: stuff maybe is overshadowing that a little bit, which is
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: a good thing. Maybe in a weird way. I don't
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: know exactly, but.
• 47:24
  Speaker 6: It gives it gives the other team more fire too,
• 47:26
  Speaker 6: Like you're you're playing a ranked opponent here.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: And the fans.
• 47:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, there's there's one player from Minnesota. It's a
• 47:38
  Speaker 6: keyon and it's their safety. I have his name here.
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: Hi.
• 47:47
  Speaker 6: He is so freaking good at safety. He's he's a
• 47:52
  Speaker 6: guy I would not even throw the ball towards like that.
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: How do you know that?
• 47:57
  Speaker 6: Because I've watched the Gophers some this year in some
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: last year.
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: He's been there to pick six out of everybody. That's
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: the guy you pulled. I didn't. I didn't know nothing
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 48:09
  Speaker 7: Oh No, he's he's gonna be He's gonna be a bro.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: I running back. Oh boy, fame Easia boy. Yeah. I mean, seriously,
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: isn't say that I would pronounce it, but it feels fake.
• 48:29
  Speaker 6: I have no Yeah, I think Ky plays a little
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: bit of offense too.
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: I might be wrong on that.
• 48:36
  Speaker 8: He has rushed the ball once for minus nine yards
• 48:40
  Speaker 8: and he has caught the ball three times for fifty
• 48:42
  Speaker 8: five yards.
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: He's so he's the next Travis Hunter.
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, he's He's basically Travis h two point. Oh yeah,
• 48:48
  Speaker 7: I will say.
• 48:49
  Speaker 8: I mean they do have six interceptions on the season,
• 48:52
  Speaker 8: six passes deflected, so and like their turnovers are actually
• 48:58
  Speaker 8: pretty good for the year.
• 49:00
  Speaker 6: Yeah, they four against Purdue that that's what they want
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: to do is turn over the ball.
• 49:04
  Speaker 8: Which you know we always question on how good Purdue is.
• 49:09
  Speaker 8: But the fact, I mean we didn't do that against
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: Houston Christians, so.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: They think is a little bit better than past.
• 49:17
  Speaker 8: Yes, their their defense, their secondary is good you're not wrong.
• 49:21
  Speaker 8: I think that that's part of the strength of their defense.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: So here's let's key things here. While when we're on offense,
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: and you just mentioned it, here's what I think is
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: important that we established against Maryland. We got a run game.
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: Now against what we did against Maryland, we actually got
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: a run game going to where going into this week
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: we are now tougher to prepare for a little bit.
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: Like Emma Johnson was really good. So now as a defense,
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: you're going, okay, we got to make a decision on
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: what we're going to try to take away and and
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: that to really pop the thing for gain to holders
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: and in this offense. So yes, their passing defense is strong,
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: and we've said our our passing, our passing offense has
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: been our strength. But our run game kind of got going,
• 50:15
  Speaker 3: and that makes you feel a little bit better about
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: this game that we can run the ball a little bit.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: And Emmett had a damn good game. And also mentioned
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: it's Emma's homecoming. We're actually practicing Friday or Thursday at
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: their high school, so having a walk through there so
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: that that's also neat it's a homecoming game for him. Yeah,
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: that's my big thing to call out here on that side.
• 50:39
  Speaker 8: Of the ball. Yeah, I I mean, I think you're right.
• 50:49
  Speaker 8: I think I'm just a little panicked because things are
• 50:52
  Speaker 8: going well and this is where it always falls apart.
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: Our tissue.
• 50:57
  Speaker 7: Yes, but because it's Minnesota, and to.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: This Minnesota, we haven't beat them in five years, that's
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: a long time.
• 51:05
  Speaker 8: Also scar tissue, scar tissue. But yeah, we're I do
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: think we're the better team. I think we should win.
• 51:12
  Speaker 8: I never would have put money on us when we
• 51:14
  Speaker 8: were plus nine and a half. That's insane. I don't
• 51:16
  Speaker 8: know if I still put money use at seven and
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: a half because we've won every game by three to
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: five points.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: So I think you're right.
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: The run game last week helps I if I had
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: to guess how the game's gonna start, Ema Johnson's gonna
• 51:33
  Speaker 8: start the game with three rushes for you know, eight
• 51:37
  Speaker 8: plus yards every time, because that's what we do every game.
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: And then we're not gonna do that for the two
• 51:43
  Speaker 8: quarters in the middle, and then we'll finish the game
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: in the fourth and Dylan will look Dylan will look
• 51:49
  Speaker 8: a lot better this week. I don't think he's gonna
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: have three interceptions.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: The turnovers are gonna be a big thing, I think
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: on the road again. I don't think we're gonna get
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: away with what happened last week. Correct of the year.
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: It's not gonna happen. That was. I'm gonna call it luck,
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: but it just doesn't happen. Losing the turnover battle by
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: three and winning a game like that.
• 52:07
  Speaker 6: I I already have a Sember Saint chance of winning
• 52:09
  Speaker 6: if you lose a turnover battle by three.
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: Ten percent chance of losing.
• 52:14
  Speaker 7: Or winningember st chance of winning.
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: Seven percent chance of winning. Okay, it's less than that,
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: I think.
• 52:21
  Speaker 6: But yeah, so that's not gonna that's not gonna happen again.
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: And yeah it's I have a bad feeling about this game.
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: But back any offensive notes comments for US.
• 52:39
  Speaker 6: I would think you'll be able to throw Lebrass should
• 52:43
  Speaker 6: be able to throw the ball a good amount on
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: Minnesota as long as they stay away from Kai. Trust me,
• 52:51
  Speaker 6: his name's can.
• 52:51
  Speaker 7: Be brought up a lot.
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: He's gonna have him pick tomorrow.
• 52:55
  Speaker 6: Yeah no, no, trust me, this guy's good and he's
• 52:58
  Speaker 6: he's gonna do something in this game. They just be like, wow,
• 53:01
  Speaker 6: this back was right. But I think I'm still in
• 53:07
  Speaker 6: Minnesotas defense is that strong. What they the thing they
• 53:10
  Speaker 6: like to do is turn over the ball. That's where
• 53:11
  Speaker 6: you got to stay away from. That's the main point.
• 53:14
  Speaker 8: I mean, I'm going to have a battle of the best,
• 53:16
  Speaker 8: like their best, their their pass defenses against our pass offense,
• 53:21
  Speaker 8: which is what we're better at. And there our run
• 53:25
  Speaker 8: offense isn't as good as that, and our run offenses
• 53:29
  Speaker 8: as good and their run defenses as good. So it's
• 53:31
  Speaker 8: just kind of which ones a little bit better than
• 53:32
  Speaker 8: the other.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: What they do best. Yep. And and then flipping over
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: to that side of the ball. I mean it feels
• 53:39
  Speaker 3: like Maryland a little bit.
• 53:42
  Speaker 9: I I think Minnesota and b J Fleck in the
• 53:49
  Speaker 9: program in general, it's going to look like old Minnesota.
• 53:53
  Speaker 3: I don't I know. They're playing a little bit differently
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: this year. They're going to try to play old Minnesota
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: against the Braska because it's worked. J Flex beat us
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: consistently doing it the way that they've done it, and
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: he knows that as a program, and what's that way been.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: It's been let Nebraska beat themselves. Now we haven't beat
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: ourselves a lot this year, so you might put a
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: little hesitation on that. But Fleck is going to run
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: the ball and not be auldra aggressive. He does have
• 54:25
  Speaker 3: a freshman quarterback who's been pretty solid. They're not gonna
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: make mistakes. They're going to try to minimize their penalties
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: and say, all right, Nebraska go out and win this
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: game amidst all the distractions. So yes, well, I think
• 54:39
  Speaker 3: they are going to try to pass it a little bit.
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: I think they're still going to go back to how
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: they know how to beat Nebraska specifically and run the
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: ball and do all that. I gives still probably our
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: weakness of our defense, and it our weakness is a
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: rush defense.
• 54:56
  Speaker 8: Yep.
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 54:58
  Speaker 6: Well, at least you ain't worried about the quarterback taking
• 54:59
  Speaker 6: out for running. Now he probably will turn into Michael Vick.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how it goes, is when you're worried about
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: it that the Greek rifle ethan callag Man has looked
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: like that.
• 55:08
  Speaker 7: Yeah he did. He did take off and runs.
• 55:12
  Speaker 6: So yeah, don't don't come back at us when he's
• 55:14
  Speaker 6: when he has eighty five rushing yards against Nebraska. But
• 55:18
  Speaker 6: he shouldn't take off and run, all right?
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: Score predictions dek go first. I'm stil chewing on it.
• 55:27
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, thirty one twenty seven Nebraska. I think
• 55:31
  Speaker 6: it's going to be similar last game. The Braska wins
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: in the end on a drive.
• 55:39
  Speaker 7: Eight s. Yeah, take the over again.
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: I think I'm gonna be in the same ballpark again
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: of the dak maybe thirty one twenty four. You guys
• 55:58
  Speaker 3: have always been so much higher than me. I've been
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: real freaking last week. I got it right, you were Yeah,
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: you did, you did, didn't you?
• 56:06
  Speaker 7: You nailed it?
• 56:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, put some money on it, the big winner. I'm
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: always thinking lower, but last week wasn't that way. I'll go.
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna go like a weird score. I'm gonna go
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: twenty three to eighteen. How they get there, I don't know.
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: But twenty three to eighteen, let me go. Thirty one
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: twenty seven, I think I don't. I'm I would put
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: money on Minnesota, Minnesota, Minnesota.
• 56:33
  Speaker 8: I'm not patting the most Minnesota wan I'd put them
• 56:35
  Speaker 8: to cover the line over the spread.
• 56:36
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, I would.
• 56:37
  Speaker 6: I would too, if you if if if you had
• 56:39
  Speaker 6: a hundred bucks, I definitely would throw it towards Minnesota here.
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I've actually heard that a lot too of
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: my national podcast. I listened to on betting in college football.
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: A lot of people like Minnesota.
• 56:54
  Speaker 7: It's just PJ flak.
• 56:55
  Speaker 8: He's getting keep the line got bumped up from five
• 56:58
  Speaker 8: and a half to ain't and a half.
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, slam that I'm just playing. I didn't get on it, Ben, But.
• 57:05
  Speaker 6: That tells you that all the smart bat, all the
• 57:07
  Speaker 6: sharps and stuff are taking them right off the bat.
• 57:09
  Speaker 7: So there's something true.
• 57:14
  Speaker 3: All right, good episode. We will be back. It'll be
• 57:19
