- 1:30Speaker 3: sure i'll take Ana up here before then.
- 1:32Speaker 4: Two.
- 1:33Speaker 1: It's gonna be a day. It's one of those things
- 1:36Speaker 1: that you you don't even think about what hurts, because
- 1:39Speaker 1: you just roll through because it is Week one, Day
- 1:43Speaker 1: one in Nebraska Football for twenty twenty five, and what
- 1:47Speaker 1: we're gonna do for our game day tailgate pod previews
- 1:51Speaker 1: this year. We're gonna have a little fun with little
- 1:54Speaker 1: prediction style episodes where things that should happen or shouldn't
- 2:01Speaker 1: happen just based on anything really for the day, for
- 2:06Speaker 1: the game, and then what we actually think will or
- 2:10Speaker 1: won't happen or could happen for our prediction. So we'll
- 2:15Speaker 1: get to that here in a second. The atmosphere today, guys,
- 2:22Speaker 1: is gonna be nuts.
- 2:23Speaker 2: And I woke up.
- 2:26Speaker 4: Just did you sleep last night?
- 2:28Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:28Speaker 1: I did you sleep. I actually took a melatonin do
- 2:34Speaker 1: it so I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep.
- 2:37Speaker 1: I'm pumped for the game, obviously, but the entire day
- 2:40Speaker 1: in itself and the hype that this game has already
- 2:44Speaker 1: brought were gonna bring today that that it's gonna be
- 2:48Speaker 1: pretty neat. It's gonna be pretty special for Husker fans,
- 2:52Speaker 1: especially what we think, you know, ninety ninety five percent
- 2:58Speaker 1: fans in the stadium being Nebraska fans, got to I
- 3:03Speaker 1: saw meet Andy Reid yesterday upon their arrival. As they
- 3:07Speaker 1: got down Here's the one question or the one thought
- 3:13Speaker 1: that I have and has comes with any big game.
- 3:20Speaker 1: Will the hype be too much? And for fans it
- 3:25Speaker 1: can never be too much, like there's there's no limit
- 3:29Speaker 1: and we can we can just run that crazy. But
- 3:33Speaker 1: specifically talking about the game in itself for week one
- 3:38Speaker 1: and hype and pressure whatever you want to call it,
- 3:40Speaker 1: can it be too much?
- 3:45Speaker 3: I mean technically yes, because does the game against Cincinnati
- 3:50Speaker 3: really matter?
- 3:52Speaker 4: Not really, But you're.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Right, I'm a fan, so I'm gonna look at from
- 4:00Speaker 3: perspective of the family. No, it can't be too much.
- 4:03Speaker 3: That's what this is for. That's the whole point. If
- 4:07Speaker 3: you're just going into ladies, you know, just like man,
- 4:11Speaker 3: you know whatever, what's the point.
- 4:15Speaker 5: I'd be very worried if your quarterback was a freshman
- 4:20Speaker 5: because the pregame Jedters and all that. I think you're
- 4:22Speaker 5: totally you're fine with him since he sat a Yarner's belt.
- 4:27Speaker 5: But all those new comers I think to start the
- 4:32Speaker 5: game could be a mess with the hype.
- 4:35Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 4:37Speaker 5: And it's a game that I said was sloppy game wins.
- 4:40Speaker 5: It seems like hyped up games more too. Everyone's more
- 4:42Speaker 5: sloppy at the beginning of games, just because everyone's so
- 4:44Speaker 5: hyped up.
- 4:46Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what I think.
- 4:49Speaker 1: I'm getting towards is can which team and I mean
- 4:54Speaker 1: I think Nebraska with the crowds, going to have a
- 4:57Speaker 1: significant advantage there. Which team can control and not overdo it?
- 5:03Speaker 1: I guess and come out. I mean, you obviously wanted
- 5:06Speaker 1: to come out with high flying energy and all of that,
- 5:09Speaker 1: but you don't want it so much that it leads
- 5:12Speaker 1: to mistakes, leads to stupid fallse starts, leads to taking
- 5:18Speaker 1: too many risks when you don't need to on the field.
- 5:22Speaker 1: I think that'll be a big thing to watch early
- 5:25Speaker 1: on when we get into our little predictions and thoughts.
- 5:27Speaker 1: I have more on this, but here's.
- 5:29Speaker 2: The I got one thing. So I just thought about this.
- 5:33Speaker 2: Do you do you think Cincinnati will come out with
- 5:36Speaker 2: more energy than the rasket? Like the players? No?
- 5:40Speaker 4: Really, what game was it last year where they came out.
- 5:44Speaker 3: It was one of our easy games, easy and they
- 5:49Speaker 3: came out and it's like, oh shit, this team's got
- 5:51Speaker 3: way more energy than us and they absolutely ran out
- 5:54Speaker 3: of juice.
- 5:55Speaker 4: That you know what I'm talking about, h.
- 6:00Speaker 1: I do. I mean, we've seen it. We've seen that
- 6:02Speaker 1: song and dance before and not. I mean, I know
- 6:05Speaker 1: the game last year there was one specifically that I
- 6:09Speaker 1: was like, whoa and and Dak maybe you'll see that
- 6:13Speaker 1: on the sidelines. Like you know, one thing that coach
- 6:17Speaker 1: Sadderfield for Cincinnati is gonna have to.
- 6:19Speaker 4: Do is Nebraska.
- 6:24Speaker 1: He's gonna have to give his players jacked up somehow
- 6:27Speaker 1: because it it's gonna be loud, like, it's gonna be crazy,
- 6:32Speaker 1: and it's it's everybody probably anticipates and knows like Cincinnati
- 6:36Speaker 1: is not gonna walk into it and thinking, oh, this
- 6:38Speaker 1: could be a fifty to fifty crowd. No, they know
- 6:40Speaker 1: it's probably not.
- 6:41Speaker 4: They know it's a road environment.
- 6:43Speaker 1: Yes they maybe they maybe they will visually look jacked up,
- 6:47Speaker 1: but you know, our guys are are internally like ready
- 6:51Speaker 1: to go, and yeah, I guess I just as a
- 6:54Speaker 1: coach and as a player, you got to keep those
- 6:56Speaker 1: emotions in that excitement at and cap it so it
- 7:01Speaker 1: doesn't turn into reckless play.
- 7:06Speaker 2: You know.
- 7:06Speaker 1: I don't know, and maybe this is part of your
- 7:08Speaker 1: guys' predictions, but who knows. There's been talk about celebrities
- 7:12Speaker 1: and people appearing at the game. I don't know. I
- 7:17Speaker 1: think I maybe I heard Travis Kelcey or the Kelsey
- 7:20Speaker 1: brothers potentially appearing in the locker room. You know, there's
- 7:22Speaker 1: mahomes potential rumors. There's the crazy outlier prediction of Taylor
- 7:28Speaker 1: Swift showing up to the game.
- 7:31Speaker 4: Yesterday.
- 7:32Speaker 1: As if Kelsey's there, maybe that means Swift he's there.
- 7:35Speaker 1: I mean, who knows. I think all this, all of
- 7:38Speaker 1: this leads.
- 7:40Speaker 4: To think about Taylor Swift being in there.
- 7:44Speaker 2: Swift, they got engages for the Husker game. That's that's
- 7:48Speaker 2: what happened.
- 7:49Speaker 4: They had to come out.
- 7:49Speaker 3: I was engaged because she was gonna be She's like,
- 7:52Speaker 3: oh well, I want to wear my ring to their
- 7:53Speaker 3: first outing together.
- 7:55Speaker 4: Yeah, that's why I had to announce it.
- 8:00Speaker 3: Oh man, it's gonna be good.
- 8:01Speaker 4: I'm ready, I think.
- 8:03Speaker 3: I mean, I will say like, for the most part,
- 8:06Speaker 3: most of our starters are not They're not upperclassmen necessarily,
- 8:12Speaker 3: but they're experienced. I don't know if we have any
- 8:16Speaker 3: true freshmen starting anywhere, right, I don't think so. On
- 8:21Speaker 3: the defensive side, it's like all seniors, it seems correct.
- 8:25Speaker 5: What you don't want to happen is come out way
- 8:27Speaker 5: too hyped. Up and you don't get personal thousand penalties right.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Which I don't think will happen because the offensive line's
- 8:33Speaker 3: old and the defense is old, which that's where you're
- 8:36Speaker 3: going to see those penalties mostly.
- 8:39Speaker 1: Let's hope. I mean, I think you gotta trust the
- 8:43Speaker 1: culture in the program where we're at now. I think
- 8:45Speaker 1: you know, something like that comes out and you lose
- 8:48Speaker 1: a game because of a couple of stupid things early, Yeah,
- 8:52Speaker 1: that would.
- 8:54Speaker 2: That would not be good.
- 8:55Speaker 1: But I don't want to I don't want to go
- 8:56Speaker 1: negative here right now. Let's let's let's get into some
- 9:02Speaker 1: things and then let's start like right in the middle.
- 9:05Speaker 1: So things that could happen, you know, maybe a fifty
- 9:11Speaker 1: to fifty chance, and then your prediction on whether they
- 9:16Speaker 1: will or they won't. That that's where we're going to start.
- 9:19Speaker 1: So I'll lead off kind of for an example here.
- 9:24Speaker 1: So things that could happen. Nebraska wins the turnover battle.
- 9:33Speaker 3: Oh, I have that as well.
- 9:36Speaker 1: Okay, then you go and then I'll change mine.
- 9:40Speaker 4: So okay, are we doing it by so you know
- 9:43Speaker 4: in our in our show notes, you go where you want.
- 9:47Speaker 3: Okay, So I had I had winning the turnover battle
- 9:52Speaker 3: by two specifically, So I said it should happen, and
- 10:00Speaker 3: there is probably a less than ten percent chance of
- 10:04Speaker 3: us winning it by two, because I think we will
- 10:10Speaker 3: win the turnover battle, but that I would suspect Cincinnati's
- 10:14Speaker 3: probably gonna play it a relatively conservative with their offense.
- 10:17Speaker 3: They're gonna run the ball a lot, try to control
- 10:19Speaker 3: the clock, so it doesn't give our defense a lot
- 10:22Speaker 3: of opportunities to pick the ball off unless the Cincinnati
- 10:27Speaker 3: has a bad case of the fumbles. But we should
- 10:30Speaker 3: win it by more than one. I suspect that our
- 10:33Speaker 3: defense is better than their offense, and so I gave
- 10:37Speaker 3: us ten percent to win by two because I basically
- 10:39Speaker 3: am giving us. I'm basically saying we're gonna have three.
- 10:42Speaker 3: They're gonna have three turnovers, we're gonna have one. That's
- 10:44Speaker 3: how I feel it's gonna shake out.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Okay, I like it because my head was in a
- 10:52Speaker 1: very similar spot there on the turnover side. Here's where
- 10:56Speaker 1: I'm gonna go. Then things that could happen could happen.
- 11:03Speaker 1: We do not miss any field goals or extra points today,
- 11:11Speaker 1: and we're perfect, whether it be where I don't know,
- 11:15Speaker 1: two for two on field goals and make all the
- 11:17Speaker 1: extra points. But things are gonna look smooth, and that
- 11:20Speaker 1: could happen, and I'm gonna say it will happen because
- 11:24Speaker 1: out of anybody in any part of this team that
- 11:28Speaker 1: I have been drinking the kool aid on and blind
- 11:30Speaker 1: faith trusting in is Mike Eckler and the special teams
- 11:32Speaker 1: and figuring this crap out. And I think, you know,
- 11:39Speaker 1: if something does come out and we do muff a
- 11:42Speaker 1: bad snap and whatever, then oh boy. But I trust
- 11:47Speaker 1: the process of Mike Eckler and what he's done.
- 11:49Speaker 4: So are you saying no special team errors or just
- 11:51Speaker 4: no miskicks.
- 11:52Speaker 1: I'm just stocking field goals.
- 11:53Speaker 4: And extra point points, okay, that we.
- 11:56Speaker 1: Will make every one of those, even if we're making
- 11:59Speaker 1: even if we're a something a fifty two yarder, it's
- 12:01Speaker 1: going in.
- 12:03Speaker 3: They did announce the starting kicker was h O. I'm
- 12:07Speaker 3: blaking name, not Kim. It's start of the Sea. I
- 12:11Speaker 3: want to say, can coun Is like, that's.
- 12:13Speaker 1: And that I thought that just because that was the
- 12:15Speaker 1: guy that that Eckler brought in. So that's that's that's
- 12:20Speaker 1: my could happen and will happen.
- 12:24Speaker 3: I think I agree with that one. That's a good one.
- 12:29Speaker 2: I think.
- 12:31Speaker 5: The one that could happen, leaning towards what happens closer,
- 12:37Speaker 5: is that sores he's gonna have like a Lensky Northwestern
- 12:40Speaker 5: game in Ireland where where he just balls out and
- 12:42Speaker 5: then it sucks the rest of the year.
- 12:46Speaker 2: I think, you.
- 12:49Speaker 5: Know, I'm gonna go he's gonna have two or fifty
- 12:52Speaker 5: pasting yards one hundred rushing yards, I think. But I
- 12:59Speaker 5: saw watch some I watched him tape on him. He's
- 13:01Speaker 5: a lot better runner than what we thought.
- 13:05Speaker 1: You saw the clip on social media his like high.
- 13:08Speaker 5: I did, and I started, I started, I started get sold.
- 13:11Speaker 5: I started getting I was like, Okay, this guy's pretty.
- 13:13Speaker 5: Now you can find a high tape. You probably find
- 13:16Speaker 5: a hyph tape of me playing junior high basketball. You
- 13:19Speaker 5: probably make a hypsip of that, but you can't.
- 13:22Speaker 1: That's not true for multiple reasons.
- 13:26Speaker 4: But that would be hilarious.
- 13:28Speaker 3: If your mom was making like hype tapes for like
- 13:30Speaker 3: junior high, they should certain to do that hype tapes
- 13:32Speaker 3: for junior high basketball players, because I know it's gonna
- 13:34Speaker 3: be garbage.
- 13:35Speaker 1: Tina, if you're listening, we want just a youth sports
- 13:38Speaker 1: hype video of Dack. If anything you got.
- 13:42Speaker 4: You could feel it, you can edit it, you could speak.
- 13:44Speaker 3: She could speed it up, you know, make it look
- 13:45Speaker 3: a little more impressive, those juke moves.
- 13:48Speaker 2: Those dunks. So watching that video, I didn't know he
- 13:53Speaker 2: was as good of a runners. That's what I thought.
- 13:57Speaker 2: Co Mand dude.
- 13:59Speaker 5: So I think I think the ground game is gonna
- 14:02Speaker 5: his ground game is going to surprise Nebraska a lot.
- 14:06Speaker 3: I mean, you gave him just four hundred yards right there.
- 14:08Speaker 3: I mean that's like basically say they're gonna.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Be say Dak starting the starting this prediction with a
- 14:14Speaker 1: little bit of a stab in the heart that hurts.
- 14:19Speaker 2: A little scary. Yeah, I I don't know. I'll woke
- 14:24Speaker 2: up this morning thinking.
- 14:27Speaker 5: It's feeling like it's kind of feeling like Nebraska every
- 14:31Speaker 5: big game game one they like to lose. I'm like,
- 14:35Speaker 5: I kind of woke up. I kind of look up
- 14:37Speaker 5: my temperate expectations. I'd say before this coming into today,
- 14:41Speaker 5: I was all hyped up, and I'm like, oh, you know,
- 14:46Speaker 5: a little bit a little bit.
- 14:47Speaker 2: Too much hype. I would say, like we were talking.
- 14:49Speaker 1: About, uh, staying on the things that could happen in
- 14:54Speaker 1: Walt And here's one of my fun ones. I things
- 14:58Speaker 1: that could happen, and I've heard people talk about and
- 15:01Speaker 1: I think there's an estimate out there about the number
- 15:03Speaker 1: of beers that are going to be down there and
- 15:07Speaker 1: at the game, and something that could happen, And I
- 15:14Speaker 1: guess this is also related to Game one and home game.
- 15:18Speaker 1: Something that could happen is Erowhead Stadium runs out of beer.
- 15:22Speaker 1: I don't think it will happen because they were ready
- 15:25Speaker 1: for that, because they're Chiefs fans and they got they
- 15:27Speaker 1: gotta figure it out. So I think they're probably fine
- 15:32Speaker 1: now our first home game, different story.
- 15:36Speaker 3: That there's no way. It's praise too high and there's
- 15:40Speaker 3: too many old people. Think about how many old people
- 15:42Speaker 3: go like, hey.
- 15:43Speaker 1: We'll save that for next week because I it'll be interesting.
- 15:46Speaker 1: But I think Arrowhead Stadium is gonna be fine. People
- 15:49Speaker 1: are gonna be juiced up and fired up. Don't get
- 15:51Speaker 1: me wrong, but they're knotting a out of beer. They're
- 15:53Speaker 1: gonna be fine. Uh, They're used to it. Chiefs fans
- 15:57Speaker 1: are just as crazy as Huscar fans. We're gonna have
- 16:01Speaker 1: a good time drinking some bruce.
- 16:03Speaker 3: That winds up with what should one of my what
- 16:06Speaker 3: should happen. And what's not gonna happen is Dak is
- 16:09Speaker 3: not gonna He should make it to the football game,
- 16:11Speaker 3: but he is not.
- 16:13Speaker 4: Of the tail game. Wow, that's one of them.
- 16:19Speaker 3: That's a death. Feels like a walk, Dak. I mean,
- 16:23Speaker 3: we're talking about having drinking contest shot for shot here, Dak.
- 16:29Speaker 5: See, here's here's the thing that I'm gonna say should happen.
- 16:34Speaker 1: No, no, stop, stop, you're not You're not going to
- 16:38Speaker 1: completely avoid Austin.
- 16:39Speaker 2: Just no, no, it's it goes off that.
- 16:44Speaker 4: Oh okay, okay, I shouldn't.
- 16:50Speaker 2: Remember the whole game, but I'm going to.
- 16:52Speaker 5: I'm gonna be a little tipsy for it, but I'm
- 16:56Speaker 5: going to take it easy today.
- 16:57Speaker 2: Remember the whole game?
- 16:59Speaker 4: Is that because the world hercus squawking a little too
- 17:02Speaker 4: loud last night?
- 17:03Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, I'm in out back today. So just you
- 17:09Speaker 2: want the atmosphere.
- 17:10Speaker 1: You're telling me, just the general public, I should expect
- 17:14Speaker 1: that you shouldn't remember the whole game. That's what That's
- 17:19Speaker 1: what you just said.
- 17:21Speaker 4: Yeah that's probably not inaccurate.
- 17:24Speaker 2: Yeah that's not yeah not.
- 17:28Speaker 5: Oh now, now I'll say that and I'll get to
- 17:30Speaker 5: the atmosphere and everything I'm be jacked up, so that
- 17:33Speaker 5: could change too as I walk in that place, but
- 17:37Speaker 5: my planning is taken easy and just enjoy the atmosphere.
- 17:42Speaker 4: Okay.
- 17:43Speaker 1: I originally was thinking something along the lines of Dak
- 17:50Speaker 1: is going to get drunk or should get drunk, and
- 17:52Speaker 1: he's going to get drunk, But that doesn't even seem
- 17:54Speaker 1: fun anymore based on what what what you guys had,
- 17:59Speaker 1: so well, I'm gonna change that one up, but you're
- 18:03Speaker 1: gonna have to give me a little bit of time
- 18:05Speaker 1: to think.
- 18:05Speaker 3: Okay, you got time to think another one of mine
- 18:09Speaker 3: of what might happen and might what might happen, and
- 18:16Speaker 3: what probably will happen. Like it's like a we're gonna
- 18:20Speaker 3: have three rushing touchdowns, whether that's Dylan or emmittt or Moozy.
- 18:27Speaker 3: I think most of our scores are gonna be on
- 18:29Speaker 3: the ground.
- 18:33Speaker 4: I mean, I don't. I was.
- 18:35Speaker 3: I was thinking about going bold of saying no passing touchdowns,
- 18:38Speaker 3: but that just seemed aggressive for the.
- 18:42Speaker 4: Breach.
- 18:42Speaker 1: But yeah, I I agree. I think that we will
- 18:52Speaker 1: well hopefully I'm hoping, hopefully thinking this that we'll be
- 18:56Speaker 1: running it more and not coming out and just throwing
- 19:01Speaker 1: it everywhere.
- 19:03Speaker 4: But the weather is more favorable for throwing than we
- 19:05Speaker 4: thought it was gonna be.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Correct the rain, let's the rain forecast is down for today,
- 19:11Speaker 1: and there might be a.
- 19:12Speaker 3: Little bit of rain this morning, but maybe a little
- 19:16Speaker 3: bit towards the end of the game, but for the
- 19:18Speaker 3: most I.
- 19:18Speaker 5: Mean, live forecast right now is beautiful out nice, sixty
- 19:24Speaker 5: five degrees, no wind right.
- 19:25Speaker 4: Now, oh right now, yep.
- 19:32Speaker 2: I have one.
- 19:33Speaker 5: I have one that could happen. In another one that
- 19:36Speaker 5: could happen. I think will happen. Is Corey barn is
- 19:39Speaker 5: gonna have a seventy plus yard touchdown. Plus seventy plus
- 19:43Speaker 5: yard touchdown. I'm telling it's gonna be a screen on
- 19:46Speaker 5: the right side, well at the house.
- 19:48Speaker 4: I mean that's specific. I hope this happens.
- 19:51Speaker 1: So dak here here's here's uh, here's how you need
- 19:54Speaker 1: to think through this. That should be a thing that
- 19:56Speaker 1: shouldn't happen, like but real, that's probably not going to happen,
- 20:01Speaker 1: right shit, And like you wouldn't put a fifty to
- 20:03Speaker 1: fifty bed on.
- 20:04Speaker 4: That, right.
- 20:07Speaker 1: No, I don't say yes, But you think it could happen, yeah,
- 20:13Speaker 1: or you think it's going to happen.
- 20:14Speaker 5: I think it's going to happen, yep, calling it screen
- 20:18Speaker 5: right side. He's taking the house and it will be
- 20:22Speaker 5: before halftime.
- 20:23Speaker 3: Wow, you're getting even more specific. If that happens, Dak
- 20:27Speaker 3: and I don't even know, I'd be floored.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Here's or I'll go with My next one is related
- 20:42Speaker 1: to Cincinnati's defensive lineman. I don't have his name pulled up,
- 20:46Speaker 1: but the the NFL prospect defensive tackle, probably the best
- 20:51Speaker 1: defensive tackle in the Big twelve. What I think should
- 20:58Speaker 1: happen is he should have a great game like this
- 21:01Speaker 1: because his talent right and our offensive line has some
- 21:09Speaker 1: confidence and some high hopes coming into the year. I
- 21:15Speaker 1: do think he's gonna give us problems, So I'm having
- 21:18Speaker 1: should give us problems and will give us problems upfront.
- 21:24Speaker 1: And I don't think people should be surprised by that.
- 21:26Speaker 1: This guy's good like he's a he's a very talented,
- 21:30Speaker 1: big dude, and it's talked about across the country too,
- 21:34Speaker 1: So don't be surprised if early on this guy gets
- 21:37Speaker 1: in there and causes some wreck and havoc if we
- 21:42Speaker 1: hold him up. And I'm wrong on this and I
- 21:44Speaker 1: like our chances because I think that means we're gonna
- 21:45Speaker 1: dominate the line of scrimmage. But I think the line
- 21:47Speaker 1: of scrimmage, you guys, it's going to be a big,
- 21:49Speaker 1: big factor And he's a big reason why. In the
- 21:51Speaker 1: Cincinnati defensive side, our defensive line has questions too. So
- 21:57Speaker 1: just throw that in there is maybe if people aren't
- 22:01Speaker 1: familiar to Cincinnati, they got a damn good defensive lineman.
- 22:04Speaker 1: And where he's out on the field and while I'm talking,
- 22:10Speaker 1: I'm gonna find his number here.
- 22:12Speaker 3: Yeah, mine was similar to that, was it shouldn't happen,
- 22:15Speaker 3: but will happen? Is it's it's gonna be basically a
- 22:18Speaker 3: one score game all the way up through the fourth quarter.
- 22:20Speaker 3: I think, I just I think it's gonna be tight
- 22:25Speaker 3: up until the end when we kind of start when
- 22:28Speaker 3: our talent kind of starts to run away with it.
- 22:30Speaker 3: But I think, especially the first half, I expect it
- 22:32Speaker 3: to be a pretty tight game.
- 22:34Speaker 1: Ye Dante cor Leones his name. He's gonna be number two,
- 22:38Speaker 1: So easy to spot the defensive lineman. He's a six
- 22:41Speaker 1: to one, three five pounder, big.
- 22:44Speaker 4: Dude up front.
- 22:45Speaker 3: Probably miss him. That's that's a big dude.
- 22:48Speaker 1: That's a stout dude.
- 22:51Speaker 2: That's a big that's a big fella. That's you know what.
- 22:55Speaker 2: That's the height and weight that I put out.
- 22:56Speaker 5: I was gonna see Austin at today.
- 23:02Speaker 4: Give me twelve hours deck. There's a lot of time
- 23:04Speaker 4: to eat.
- 23:07Speaker 2: So here's my I don't think hasn't happened yet?
- 23:10Speaker 5: What will happen? Hunter is going to bet on since
- 23:14Speaker 5: next before the game.
- 23:20Speaker 4: He probably already has Look at that, look at that
- 23:21Speaker 4: pace here.
- 23:24Speaker 1: I have I have not.
- 23:26Speaker 2: He told me yesterday he hasn't yet. I haven't. So
- 23:29Speaker 2: it has not happened yet, but it will happen.
- 23:33Speaker 3: What is is this spread still six and a half?
- 23:36Speaker 3: Huskers haven't Husker fans haven't moved it yet?
- 23:38Speaker 1: Correct, I it's moved a lot. I bet you it's
- 23:42Speaker 1: pretty locked in now. There could be some late sharp
- 23:44Speaker 1: money that comes in one way or the other, but
- 23:47Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'll bet you it's pretty stable right now
- 23:50Speaker 1: at six and a half.
- 23:52Speaker 4: I'm telling you, I'm what's the over? What's the over under?
- 23:55Speaker 1: Like fifty one and a half?
- 23:58Speaker 2: Fifty and a half?
- 23:58Speaker 4: I think I saw, Oh that's a pretty good number.
- 24:02Speaker 5: Which that's going over? Everybody bet that that's going over?
- 24:05Speaker 3: I think I think I agree. I think I take
- 24:07Speaker 3: the over and I take the Huskers over the spread.
- 24:09Speaker 2: That is my locker. I'm just say right now, it's
- 24:11Speaker 2: my lock of the week right there.
- 24:13Speaker 5: The over, Yeah, the over in this game is going
- 24:16Speaker 5: it's going to be I guess that's another prediction.
- 24:19Speaker 2: It's gonna be a shootout.
- 24:21Speaker 4: God, I mean you.
- 24:24Speaker 5: Guys count would you guys say forty five to twenty
- 24:26Speaker 5: eight is a shootout?
- 24:28Speaker 3: Yes?
- 24:29Speaker 4: Yes, well the shootout. Shootout is a strong word. When
- 24:32Speaker 4: you win by seventeen, there you go.
- 24:42Speaker 2: Yeah, it'll be more. The score I guess will be.
- 24:46Speaker 1: Yeah. I got two more that come to mind. One
- 24:51Speaker 1: and we're going down this road anyways, things that shouldn't happen,
- 24:57Speaker 1: but I think is going to happen. Dylan Ryola throws
- 25:01Speaker 1: an interception on drive number one.
- 25:05Speaker 2: Wow, And I think the.
- 25:07Speaker 1: Hype, all the extracurricular stuff is gonna get in Dylan's head.
- 25:14Speaker 1: And he's shown none of it. He is not proven,
- 25:17Speaker 1: he's not shown that he wants that stuff.
- 25:22Speaker 4: Game Day Hunter, I know, and I started off.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Hot, guys, I'm finishing or I'm finishing here, But I
- 25:29Speaker 1: think the hype's gonna get to him. Drive number one
- 25:32Speaker 1: interception because he tries to force something that's not there, and.
- 25:38Speaker 3: They're not gonna the Drive one, that is the most
- 25:42Speaker 3: manufactured drive they have been practicing Drive one, I know.
- 25:46Speaker 1: And that's why I'm saying it shouldn't happen. It should
- 25:49Speaker 1: be scripted, it should be perfect. And then all of
- 25:51Speaker 1: a sudden, Dylan tries to force one in on first
- 25:54Speaker 1: or on second, and one on a drag across the
- 25:59Speaker 1: middle of the corey and sees everybody and tries to
- 26:01Speaker 1: squeeze it in the hole between the safety and the corner,
- 26:04Speaker 1: and the corner jumps it. Interception.
- 26:07Speaker 3: Now we're scoring drive one. Calling it right now, that's
- 26:10Speaker 3: not a shit and would I'm just calling it right now.
- 26:14Speaker 3: One of my end was what shouldn't happen, but will
- 26:18Speaker 3: maybe happen. It's the old faces. We don't there's low
- 26:25Speaker 3: contributions from any new players on outside of the old line.
- 26:30Speaker 3: So everyone that makes plays is in the secondary that
- 26:33Speaker 3: the senior that's been Nebraska Jacory Emmett Heinrich, you hardly
- 26:38Speaker 3: hear anything from Dane or any of the other new
- 26:41Speaker 3: offensive pieces.
- 26:44Speaker 1: I'm just predicted. I've been high on Dan Key since
- 26:49Speaker 1: for a long time more than probably you guys.
- 26:51Speaker 4: For sure, which I don't understand. You are such a
- 26:55Speaker 4: poo poo. And then they are Banks and Nelson's, Dankey's, Oh,
- 26:58Speaker 4: this guy's from the SEC.
- 26:59Speaker 5: I don't know why, I really really see on her
- 27:03Speaker 5: side here. I think I think Danky is a lot
- 27:05Speaker 5: better prospect than are in Bank guys.
- 27:08Speaker 1: I know why I'm high on him because he's a
- 27:10Speaker 1: freaking dude on the video game. Yeah, I guys, a
- 27:18Speaker 1: month ago, I or two months ago, whenever the game
- 27:20Speaker 1: came out, I had no idea what this guy was
- 27:21Speaker 1: built like or what anything. And then I started playing
- 27:23Speaker 1: with him. Like, this guy is fast, he's tall, he's
- 27:26Speaker 1: a possession guy. He doesn't drop passes, and I love
- 27:30Speaker 1: throwing him to him on the video game.
- 27:31Speaker 3: So that's why that's fair. As long as you know why,
- 27:35Speaker 3: I don't get it. You're such you know, in like
- 27:37Speaker 3: last year, Banks and they or they were like so
- 27:39Speaker 3: the two of like the top I remember five wide
- 27:42Speaker 3: receiver transfers. You know, dan Key is in the same boat.
- 27:47Speaker 3: You're like this dank Key guy last year. Like, I'll
- 27:49Speaker 3: believe it when I see it on the field. Why
- 27:51Speaker 3: are these guys transferring huh.
- 27:53Speaker 1: You know, I'm getting my last one out of the way,
- 27:57Speaker 1: so we don't end on this. But things that shouldn't happen,
- 28:01Speaker 1: and we shouldn't lose this game. Right right now, I'm
- 28:08Speaker 1: just gonna say we shouldn't lose the game. Guys, I'm
- 28:10Speaker 1: going to the game, so maybe you could categorize them
- 28:14Speaker 1: could lose the game because I'm going to it.
- 28:17Speaker 4: But it's like a home game.
- 28:19Speaker 3: It is, but it is.
- 28:20Speaker 1: And I've counted my other Arrowhead neutral set game at
- 28:23Speaker 1: on my record, and we're gonna lose. And I'm telling
- 28:28Speaker 1: you this is why I do. Dak asked me yesterday, well,
- 28:31Speaker 1: I just be what was the word you used, disappointed or.
- 28:37Speaker 4: Distraught?
- 28:39Speaker 2: Distraught?
- 28:40Speaker 1: Distraught if we lose. My answer to that, I mean,
- 28:44Speaker 1: I'll be I'll be upset, but I'm trying not to
- 28:47Speaker 1: be distraught because I'm just expecting a loss because that's
- 28:50Speaker 1: what Nebraska does when I go to road games.
- 28:54Speaker 2: And.
- 28:56Speaker 1: I own that. But guess what this is gonna make
- 28:59Speaker 1: if we happen to somehow win and my predictions wrong,
- 29:02Speaker 1: so much better and so much more excited. Is this
- 29:05Speaker 1: a traditional Husker fan?
- 29:06Speaker 2: No?
- 29:07Speaker 1: Do I sit there in the crowd rooting and hoping
- 29:09Speaker 1: that we lose. No, but I just expect a loss
- 29:13Speaker 1: because that's what we do when I go to road games.
- 29:18Speaker 1: So I hope I'm wrong.
- 29:21Speaker 4: Why didn't you start with that? That is such a
- 29:23Speaker 4: sour way to end this.
- 29:25Speaker 1: That's why we're not ending on it, because you guys
- 29:26Speaker 1: need to turn us back around. So throw tomatoes at
- 29:29Speaker 1: me after my per is wrong. When we win, feel free.
- 29:33Speaker 1: But until I can get in a car after a
- 29:36Speaker 1: game away from Memorial Stadium and be happy, I'm just
- 29:40Speaker 1: not gonna try to because I my heart's been broken
- 29:42Speaker 1: so many times on road means, and it's not gonna
- 29:45Speaker 1: break my heart this time because I'm used to it.
- 29:47Speaker 2: I'm numb doing I don't believe. You don't be complete
- 29:50Speaker 2: mass if they don't lose this.
- 29:51Speaker 4: If they lose this game, I want you so freaking pissed.
- 29:55Speaker 1: I'll be upset, I'll be I'll be frustrated, but I'm
- 29:58Speaker 1: not I'm expecting to lose. That's this is how I
- 30:02Speaker 1: control my mind.
- 30:04Speaker 2: You guys think they'll be involved with you too, You'll
- 30:06Speaker 2: be You'll be a mess around.
- 30:16Speaker 1: Up to you guys to bring us home.
- 30:18Speaker 4: But I'm gonna be.
- 30:20Speaker 2: I'll throw it because its kind of sour here.
- 30:22Speaker 5: Think, oh my gosh, I think things that might happen,
- 30:26Speaker 5: but I don't think will which get your heart is
- 30:30Speaker 5: ready to drop you here. Since Nanny gets the ball
- 30:32Speaker 5: first drives down, the score touchdown Nebraski's three and out
- 30:35Speaker 5: first drives.
- 30:38Speaker 3: I already said we're gonna score the opening drive, so yeah, and.
- 30:42Speaker 1: I said Ryola was throwing a pick, not going three
- 30:44Speaker 1: and out.
- 30:44Speaker 4: So well, that's it could be on the third down
- 30:49Speaker 4: or fourth down.
- 30:52Speaker 5: If that happens, I think, I mean, it would just
- 30:57Speaker 5: replay of every first game.
- 31:03Speaker 4: You guys, suck boo. This is supposed to be our
- 31:05Speaker 4: your all.
- 31:06Speaker 5: Because because because you gotta think of if Cincinnati wins
- 31:09Speaker 5: that coin toss, they're gonna take the ball. Yeah, there's
- 31:13Speaker 5: no way they don't. That's that's that's the only thing
- 31:16Speaker 5: they want to do is get this crowd right away.
- 31:21Speaker 5: I guess, I guess there's another thing that's gonna happen.
- 31:23Speaker 5: Cincinnati wins the coin toss to get the ball.
- 31:27Speaker 4: I feel since a while that's a that's two. There's
- 31:30Speaker 4: a fifty percent chance of the coin toss, and the
- 31:33Speaker 4: chances that's a yep. Oh yeah, it's so bold. Well,
- 31:40Speaker 4: I don't you guys are making me zaggs so hard
- 31:42Speaker 4: on the positive because it's.
- 31:43Speaker 1: Just you gotta you gotta gotta slip the script.
- 31:48Speaker 3: I was gonna say that they gave MVP was gonna
- 31:51Speaker 3: be on the Nebraska defensive side. There's gonna be I
- 31:55Speaker 3: don't know who, if it's Keona Davis or you know,
- 31:57Speaker 3: in the in the back, you know, somebody who was
- 32:00Speaker 3: a couple pull interceptions. But we're gonna walk away being like,
- 32:04Speaker 3: oh shit, our defense is better than we thought it
- 32:07Speaker 3: was gonna be. And this guy is a dude, and
- 32:09Speaker 3: this guy is a dude.
- 32:12Speaker 4: That's not as positive as I need to be after
- 32:14Speaker 4: your two little piss poor performance.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Is there.
- 32:22Speaker 1: Any updates to your guys' core prediction. I'm not changing mine.
- 32:25Speaker 1: I think I had Cincinnati twenty four to twenty one.
- 32:28Speaker 1: Yeah you said twenty eight.
- 32:31Speaker 5: I've know even the first time to put that in
- 32:34Speaker 5: as my prediction.
- 32:36Speaker 4: I think I had this twenty seven to seventeen if
- 32:38Speaker 4: I remember correctly.
- 32:41Speaker 1: Uh here, this all ends a little bit better.
- 32:44Speaker 2: So I.
- 32:46Speaker 1: Maybe we'll do this for every game. I don't know,
- 32:48Speaker 1: but big chat GBT guy, A I have been. I
- 32:53Speaker 1: use that for a lot of a lot of stuff
- 32:55Speaker 1: now and asked us ask them to give me a
- 32:59Speaker 1: pretty detailed the prediction, some key plays for the game.
- 33:04Speaker 1: So and then write me a little newspaper article the
- 33:08Speaker 1: headline the errorhead miracle Huskers stunned Cincinnati twenty eight twenty
- 33:14Speaker 1: four and how this game ends. With three twelve left
- 33:20Speaker 1: in the game, trailing twenty four to twenty one, Nebraska
- 33:23Speaker 1: quarterback Dylan Ryola launches a desperation throw after scrambling on
- 33:28Speaker 1: third and eleven, aim for Dame Key. The ball was
- 33:32Speaker 1: tipped by a Cincinnati defender and coming in from behind
- 33:37Speaker 1: is Jacry Barney, who sprent sixty one yards to the
- 33:40Speaker 1: end zone as the Huskers take the lead twenty eight
- 33:42Speaker 1: to twenty four and get a stop and win the game.
- 33:48Speaker 4: I mean, that'd be pretty sick. I like Frost went
- 33:51Speaker 4: a little closer to than that.
- 33:53Speaker 2: There you go. Did either of you guys have like
- 33:56Speaker 2: Nebraska win more?
- 33:59Speaker 3: I do?
- 34:01Speaker 5: So there's double jinks going. I did bet on Nebraska,
- 34:03Speaker 5: so me Hunter's going a road game. I've been on Nebraska,
- 34:06Speaker 5: so we have a double jinks going.
- 34:07Speaker 3: We're gonna be fine, guys.
- 34:09Speaker 4: This is you are two sour. Did either of you
- 34:13Speaker 4: guys watch.
- 34:14Speaker 1: I'm still excited. I'm not not excited like I'm pop
- 34:18Speaker 1: for today. I'm not trying to be a negative Nelly.
- 34:20Speaker 1: I'm just trying to get my mind right.
- 34:24Speaker 4: And yeah, that's foolish. That's so foolish, Hunter, because you
- 34:27Speaker 4: know you're gonna be pissed regardless, you might as well
- 34:29Speaker 4: be excited about it and just have the come down.
- 34:31Speaker 1: I will be upset. But here's here's here's the thing.
- 34:34Speaker 4: Don't I don't know. Here's the thing. Looks here the
- 34:37Speaker 4: thing you control it to where.
- 34:39Speaker 1: I'm gonna be pissed. But instead of being like pissed
- 34:42Speaker 1: like ten out of ten pists, I'm only like a
- 34:45Speaker 1: eight out of ten piss.
- 34:46Speaker 4: You're native Hunter.
- 34:48Speaker 2: You don't want to know.
- 34:54Speaker 4: We literally went three and six and every loss you
- 34:57Speaker 4: were probably like a ten out of ten.
- 34:59Speaker 1: It's well, I know what I'm saying.
- 35:01Speaker 4: What I'm not going to be like that anymore. You
- 35:03Speaker 4: are you can't.
- 35:04Speaker 3: That's who you are. It's who you are. You literally
- 35:08Speaker 3: sometimes I don't remember going to sleep. We could go
- 35:10Speaker 3: three am tonight.
- 35:11Speaker 2: I know, but that winning, that just has the atmosphere.
- 35:15Speaker 2: You're buying the hype this year for the first time.
- 35:17Speaker 2: You're buying in the hype this year.
- 35:21Speaker 4: I did, but I controlled myself or not there it's naive.
- 35:26Speaker 3: Just allow yourself to have fun beforehand, because what's the
- 35:29Speaker 3: point of being sad before and after?
- 35:32Speaker 4: At least have the you know, at least be happy
- 35:34Speaker 4: before you.
- 35:34Speaker 1: I'm not sad now, I'm not saying you are.
- 35:37Speaker 4: You are, mister Greaves.
- 35:39Speaker 1: I'm excited. I am more excited day than anything, but
- 35:42Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the outcome of the game.
- 35:44Speaker 1: I'm I am more excited for this opening game than
- 35:47Speaker 1: I have been in a lot of times, a lot
- 35:48Speaker 1: of years. I mean maybe any year.
- 35:50Speaker 4: Maybe since Frost's first game that got rained out.
- 35:53Speaker 1: Yeah, maybe, But that that doesn't mean I think we're
- 35:56Speaker 1: gonna win.
- 35:57Speaker 2: I want us to win.
- 36:02Speaker 3: I'm so disappointed in you.
- 36:05Speaker 5: All Right, here's one more and more that will happen.
- 36:09Speaker 5: There will be tears shed when the we're return to
- 36:11Speaker 5: Glory boys meet.
- 36:14Speaker 3: Yes, that's exactly what will happen. I mean, Dak said,
- 36:17Speaker 3: be the one crying right yep, maybe falling was We
- 36:23Speaker 3: never got our call from New Heights and you know,
- 36:26Speaker 3: busting with the boys. I kind of expected us to
- 36:28Speaker 3: be kind of like the third party in that group,
- 36:30Speaker 3: but nothing ever shook out.
- 36:32Speaker 4: Sorry, guys.
- 36:33Speaker 1: Eventually, someday too, we'll have our own little boot at
- 36:35Speaker 1: a tailgate. We can just sit down and yes, podcast
- 36:40Speaker 1: out a tailgate.
- 36:41Speaker 2: Are we doing a tailgate pod?
- 36:44Speaker 4: We'll see how the tailgate goes.
- 36:45Speaker 1: That's that's right now, that's what we're doing. That's exactly
- 36:50Speaker 1: what we're doing right now. The game day tailgate pod.
- 36:55Speaker 2: Well, maybe won't be tears shed then.
- 36:58Speaker 3: Worst case scenario we lose this all game volleyball plays
- 37:01Speaker 3: on Sunday.
- 37:05Speaker 1: Nah my mind, I'll be ready for it, all right, Well,
