  Speaker 1: But yeah, we uh like Creighton both men and women
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on Friday. So we'll hit that here on today's episode
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: at the end as well. But there's still a lot
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to talk about here in November. That is actual, real news.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: That good effort.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Now now it comes out tomorrow's real.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Great men, then we'll give you a credit.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah mhm.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: First off, I started with the Dylan Ryola comet. What
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: do you guys make of that?
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: Like, I know the comment you're talking about, and yes,
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: he guaranteed it, but it's also like it's also the
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: same thing as listening to it player like Yep, we're
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: gonna go out there, We're gonna win that next game,
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: and you know.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: Like what do you like? What do you want them?
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: The saving cameras is like, yeah, I hope we can
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: win one of these next two games and make it
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: to a bowl.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I like it. I like I like it all. I
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: like the confidence that it sends to everybody. And if
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: we don't, everyone's gonna be pissed anyways, and it's all
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: gonna blow up and it's gonna be a disaster anyway.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: So it's not like this common as any effect. I
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: like the confidence so that it sends to the team.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I don't care what the fans think about it and
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: what they think. He is saying, we're gonna get this done.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: The seniors have said that before, the older players. It's
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: a group effort, though, and we can do it. We're
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: favored two and a half points. The line's actually moved
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: in our favor. Wisconsin's in a whole lot of turmoil themselves.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: We can do it. We just have to find a
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: way to win. That's kind of the message, Dak. What
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: do you think guarantee a bowl game or what?
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Ho's actually saying a thing exactly honest said you can't.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: What do you expect them to say, like, I.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Mean, not not say anything else. I mean I'm saying
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: he said the line. Obviously the other side is not
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: saying it.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean basically comes down this week because I
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: don't think you're beating Iola. So yeah, he's basically just
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: guaranteeing you're gonna win this game. That's I think that's
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: what he was saying. I think I think your season
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: comes down to this game. I don't. I think Wisconsin
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: is your best shot because they're, like you said, they're
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: in a lot of turmoil right now. They don't they
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: don't have a do they name an OC.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: They did, I believe, I mean it's obviously someone.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: So they don't even have an offense that they don't
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: even know what offense they're running. But it doesn't matter.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Offense sucks. I don't know. I think I don't think
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: any shock in Isola. Like I said, this is your
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: best shot, so here you go.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: So yeah, we're here in Wisconsin. It's funny college football.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Everybody's in their own set of issues right now, it seems,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: and it is just a year that we've had. No
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: matter if you have eight wins right now or five
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: or two, everybody's had a different plate. But there seems
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: just to be a lot of moving parts. And you're
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: able to have moving parts because of the fast paced
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: environment that we've talked about a lot. So yeah, Wisconsonant
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you mentioned Yerroc. They lost their starting quarterback earlier in
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: the year. Now they have Braden lock Chess Mulucy, they're
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: running back. One of the projected top running backs in
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the Big Ten, just decided to walk away from football
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: early on in the year, and now they're left with
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: we don't know, I guess, and rules comment was, we're
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: gonna focus a lot on ourselves when it comes to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: game planning because it's gonna be tough to know what
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: they want to do. Here's my prediction or what I envision.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: We're gonna see a lot of run heavy, more power
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: stuff the old Wisconsin because I think the air grade
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that they were trying to employ at Wisconsin the long
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: ago and Luke Fickle coming in, I just don't think
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: that mesh as well. When you're not winning games. It's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: like we've seen it before. Transferring from a very run
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: heavy option to a West Coast type of offense sounds
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: pretty familiar.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Well, they also didn't. They didn't factor in or they
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: didn't change offense when they got their back quarterback in
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: who is worse than a lot worse than their starter
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, you gotta change your offense up when you
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: because time and Dak. I feel like I could what
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: I rank him this.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you were high on Tyler Vandyck. I I wasn't
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: as much as you were, but you loved him.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I wasn't saying he's amazing, but he could he can
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: throw the ball. This dude they have now sucks. He's off.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: They would have been organed, they had a comptant quarterback
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: at all. So I don't know that's that's what scared
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: you is last week's game with Wisconsin just they should
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: have beat them. One team in the nation. But I
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: don't know. I think I think this offense they're not
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: they're maxing out at sixteen points. I don't think they
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: can score Highering that, I hope you're right.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: You're just jinks that I just saw.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: That was shot back their quarterback is the worst.
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: And forty two on Rutgers, which we did not.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: I saw a fun, fun little tweet that said basically
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: went through these things that we listed and then they
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: said and this one's gonna hurt, basically saying that yep,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: they have all the reasons to lose and we're gonna
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: find to lose, didn't there.
• 7:51
  Speaker 4: DC also leave a couple of weeks ago because he.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was some former NFL guy, wasn't it.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: And he left like the next morning he said, yeah,
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: I'm done.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I kind of remember what you're talking about.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I feel like that was maybe earlier in the year.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: I don't remember. I'll be honest, I have not watched
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of Wisconsin. I don't and exactly I watched
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that game a little bit on Saturday night, and I
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: guess it makes you a little more concerned. But I
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: don't think that Wisconsin, how they played against Oregon, like
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: is any different than how our game was with Ohio State.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: And you can read into it all you want, but
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I still just think it comes down to what we've
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: talked about and what rules mentioned too. Every game in
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the Big Ten is going to be a battle. It's
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: going to be tough. There's gonna be very few blowouts anymore.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Now it's happened. We've been on the wrong side of that.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: But there's gonna be There're gonna be games you can win,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: and that's true for these last two, but especially this one.
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: And just because Wisconsin hung with Oregon doesn't change my mind,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: anything of them really, And in fact, I think people
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: were surprised that we were the favorite when the line
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: came out, but it's actually moved in our direction after
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the news of Phil long Ago getting fired. So, uh,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: it'll be, it'll be. It'll be a battle, it'll be
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: a tough game to win, and we're gonna need everything
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: we can to come out on top.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: I mean ESPN's matchup predictor has Wisconsin winning mm hmmm,
• 9:40
  Speaker 5: which is interesting.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Dak hasn't scored in less than sixteen.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: I don't think that. I don't know.
• 9:47
  Speaker 5: It's it is. It's senior night. We have a lot
• 9:51
  Speaker 5: of seniors on defense. You expect us to come out
• 9:55
  Speaker 5: with a little more zip, kind of like we did
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: against Colorado. And you're right, they do have a new
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: play caller, so I can see our defense playing with
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: their hair on fire a little bit more.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: Of this game in the past.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: The Well, the thing with the spread is I think
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: it's basically you got because home team, you get three points.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: It's basically just even spread. So I don't yeah, it's
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: basically pick them. Yeah, But like you said last podcast,
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: I like the crowd for this game is gonna be
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: rocking the beginning. As soon as with like scores on
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: the first drive, Yeah, as soon as stuff starts going south,
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: the crowd's gonna die. Like it's it's that's what I
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: don't disagree.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I I that's unfortunate that that probably will happen. But
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: I think that's the state of where a lot of
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: the fan bases right now. It's it's not really knowing
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: or I mean, i'll say it starting to lose hope
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that this thing can ever get turned around. So that's
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: a good transitional possim Wisconsin for a second, because I
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: want to jump into this. Mitt Sherman from The Athletic
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: wrote an article after the USC game basically, and I
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: don't know if you guys got a chance to read
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: it or see it, the gist of it, the summary
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: cliff notes at the end was that basically, there's nothing
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: else left for Husker fans to really do besides give up.
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: It was pretty dark, it was bleak, like he basically
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: just said it's not gonna happen, Like, just give up faith,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: give up hope, quit loving Husker football. That's something we
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: really haven't heard before, but it may hit home for
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: some people when you think about what's happened over the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: past few years and where things are potentially headed one
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: way or the other. What the has made me do,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: which I think is interesting. Is it kind of like reavent.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Like hearing that I'm like, oh gosh, Like that's tough
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: made me reevaluate where I've been at as a fan
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: as far as how much I care or invest time
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: emotional energy into Husker football. And I kind of went
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: back through my I guess lifetime as an perst in
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: my upper twenties and where I sat because it was
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: kind of fun just to see, like how your emotions
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: changed over time. So like, if you're listening, it'd be
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: fun to do it yourself. Here's how I did it.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: That Kars is gonna look extremely hilarious. Basically at a
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: scale one to one hundred, one hundred being the most invested,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: the most emotional effort that you ever put into Husker football.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: That's your hundred at some point in your life, and
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: at some point you hit a peak, right, maybe maybe
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: hit a peak multiple times, but at some point you
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: hit your eddpeak. One being you are just disinterested, almost
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: to the point that you're apathetic. You don't care about
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Huscar football. You're not You're you're not invested in it.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: You're putting, you're spending very little time thinking about it,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: talking about it, researching it. It has nothing to do
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: with being disappointed, because if you're disappointed, guess what, you
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: still care quite a bit. Actually you got care a lot.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: If you're disappointed and hurt, your care level is up there.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: So it is all about I guess your emotional investment
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: and care. Call it love with Husker football over your lifetime.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: We don't need to, we can just kind of go
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: through it at summary. But it was fun to think.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: I can think everybody can probably say, and if you don't,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: I think you're probably lying. Maybe not. When Scott Frost
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: got hired and leading up to that year, there was
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: a very It was very high, very very high. Maybe
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: the highest of my life maybe if you're gonna look
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: at it on a graph, It took a pretty quick
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: fall because I would say maybe one of the lowest
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: cares that I was really invested in. Besides when I
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: was young and really didn't understand what was going on.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Was Scott Frost years like three and four where for
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: a week week we were doing the podcast. But I
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: was like, I don't care what happens, Like I did
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the podcast and I didn't really listen to anything else.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: It's funny this year, how I've found myself a lot
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: more interested than I thought I would. I don't know
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: why that is. There's something about it that it's kept
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: me engaged even though it's going poorly. I'm caring a
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: lot more this year.
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: Is the star quarterback?
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Yep, it probably is. I think that has a lot
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to do with it. And I think the environment of
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: college football has a lot to do with it too,
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: because I think it gives you a little bit of
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: like reassurance that these teams can come in and do
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: it so quickly, and there's not so much these power
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: power powerhouses anymore, like Georgia is not. People might have
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: thought they could have just dominated everybody this year. They didn't,
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: and so now there's a bunch of teams this year
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: that can win it. It kind of gives you a thought
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: of like, Okay, this stuff matters. The decisions were making
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: now matters for the next year or two. My last
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: kind of thought on where I was at when I
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: was young and my you know, teams and leading into
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: high school. I cared a lot about it, but I
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: didn't know there wasn't one the resources to invest as
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: much besides reading the paper. But I cared a lot,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: Like I couldn't wait for the Sunday paper to read
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: the articles of and read the grades that the sports
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: writers were giving, and read about it that morning. I
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: would go to bed on a Friday night, or try
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: to go to bed, but I wouldn't be able to
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: sleep because that next day I knew there was a game.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: When I was in high school, Dak, your face is like,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: what is wrong with you?
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: See?
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: You don't see, Dak. You don't understand some of the
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: commitment that Husker fans have. So I remember as a
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: kid too, they always used to do the player of
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: the game in the back of the newspaper.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: They had.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: A full picture of like the player of the game
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: of the week, and I would cut those out and
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: hang them on my door as a as an elementary
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: kid every game and I'd have them lined up like that.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. I was very invested. That was
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: also probably one of the higher times that would have
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: been I guess Callahan and Bopolini probably more Callahan than anything,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: which is kind of sad to say, but I think
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: at that time, nobody thought we were ever going to
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: not make a bowl game for eight consecutive years. That
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: wasn't that that we that was never a thought. It
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: happened one year and we were all like it was.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: It was a disaster. It's we're so far away from
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: that now, and it's kind of funny to think back.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: So anyways, I don't know if you have any comments
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: on that to think about, but it was kind of
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: fun to think about how your graph and your emotion
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: has changed.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, honestly.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: So.
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: I I mean, I've watched the games and I cared
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: and I enjoyed them, but I did not elementary high school.
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: I did not work my life at all around the
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: games I watched.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: If I was at my grandparents' house on Saturday, i'd
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: watch it, you know, it might be on, but I
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: was usually napping during it. It wasn't really until college when
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: I got super interested. But I I think that's regarding
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: the article, it's a little bit of a outsiders like
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: what fan base. That's not why you watch the sport,
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: And obviously you want to win, but you're not gonna
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: watch something you don't care about so these basically saying,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: don't be fans in Nebraska football because they're not gonna
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: be good. But that's also not why sports exist, like
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: you don't.
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think his argument was become apathetic, like basically
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: stop caring what. I heard this on the Nick Bob podcast.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: Like they made a good point in countering it. It's
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: like care is not something you can necessarily control. It's
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: an emotion. You can't just say I'm going to stop
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: caring about X. Like you can't get your body or
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: your mind to do that unless there's something else that
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: comes along, Like maybe you're trying to like what do
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: you what are you in Nebraska? What are you gonna do?
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: Like are you on Saturday.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: I've tried to do I've tried the case State thing
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and I still kind of I've tried it, but that
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: has not subtracted anything away from Nebraska football anything. But
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: I tried, like saying I want to get into this
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: team to try to take my mind off of all
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: this other crap.
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: I can't do it. Like we live in just you
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: watching the game. It's the social aspect. You know, your
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: tailgate and you're talking about it. You're watching that bars
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: you're going on to our friend's house.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's his point, is that so you
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: don't get depressed and disappointed and and emotionally distraught over it, Like,
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: don't do that anymore, Like just basically go back to
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: don't worry about what's going on Saturday if you fall.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: And I think some people do that. I think there's
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: all levels of people, and I think where people are
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: probably starting to go that way. I mean that that's
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: the argument, is that you care less now than you
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: do ten years ago. Like it's hard for us when
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: we're growing up and developing.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: But I think that's a product of just the older
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: generation getting older. I do think that, you know, when
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: this younger generation becomes our age, it's probably gonna be
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: closer to that. But that's more of a product of everything,
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: you know, like just the the pace of which people
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: consume content and how you're consuming content. Here's probably not
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: gonna you're you're not lingering on those feelings as long.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Right at that, I can almost make your graph out
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: for you, but I want you to try to explain it.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: This is his peak. This year's been his peak.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no, I was gonna say my hundred care
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: was the Colorado game this year? Easily, That's that's the
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: most I've cared about host game ever by a mile.
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: I would even, I would even argue that you're you
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: care more about it the last couple of weeks in
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: the Colorado game. No, I No, I'm not saying excited.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying excited. I'm saying caring for the program,
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the amount of time you're thinking about it, putting an effort,
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: doing your what you call it, you call it studying
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: for the podcast. You do more of that now because
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: you're more invested in it now than you were the
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Colorado game. That's I don't think that's a question. I'm
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: not saying excited you.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Maybe yeah, I'll agree with you there, but excited wise
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: most I've ever been excited for Husking with the Cardo
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: game unless they're playing O Pome. But anyway, So back
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: when FROSCT hired, I was not really a Husky when
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: I was younger, I was all in a phone fan
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: and give a crap on Nebraska, like yep, one bit.
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: And I know you didn't. And and maybe when like,
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: was there any coach, maybe it was Frost when they
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: got hired that kind of peaked you a little bit wary.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: That started started looking at the scores a little bit
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: more over time.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: I actually did, I actually hate Nebraska because that's when
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: when I was younger, because that's embrass in the Big twelve.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: So then problem Frost got hired, I got a little invested,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: and I I was out like on him pretty quickly.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: So I I was invested watching that shit show go down.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: It was pretty funny to watch from the side. And
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: then I joined your podcast and now look at me
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: full look at me.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah, the hate what I'm describing hates as still caring, right,
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: Like I will say I care more about Iowa football
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: since we joined the Big Ten than I cared about
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: him in the Big Twelve. I didn't care about him. No,
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: I care about him now. It's not not in a
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: positive way, but I I care about it. Same thing
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: with Oklahoma. I care less about them now, but if
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: I did the graphic of Oklahoma, I probably care about
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: him a little bit more now, dak just because you
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: have joined and so now I will like check the
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma score just for the sense I can give you
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a crap when they lose, Like I do care a
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: little more about Oklahoma than I did five years ago. Yeah,
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: it's fun to think about your emotions and how it's
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: gone over time on your sports teams, your favorite teams,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Nebraska football, and it is. It's we've said this analogy before.
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: It's like you're married to it, but you can't divorce them.
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: You want to divorce them, You've tried to divorce it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: You've you've tried to get away, but they just keep
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: crawling back and just keep doing something to keep your
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: crawling back. Yeah, it's abusive. They just keep they keep
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: slapping your while you're down, and and they do it
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: over and over, and you can't get out of it
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: because if you try to get out of it, they'll
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: whatever will happen. And it's it's not good, but you
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: can't get out of it. And and that's just the
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: state we live in. I think the apathy out of
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: anybody out of us three, Dak has the most experience
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: with it in regards to Nebraska football because he was
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: there at some point. I can't say I ever had
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: apathy towards Husker football and didn't care. That word is
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: going to be used a lot if things don't get
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: turned around. Over the next ten years, and you're gonna
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: see it, and you're gonna see it happen. I'm not
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: sure if we'll be podcasting in ten years, will probably
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: a new.
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: They tried to or maybe the Big ten network.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: You know, that word is gonna get thrown around a lot,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: and that is that is what Mitt Sherman is referring
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: to in that article, is that word apathy, And that's
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: what everybody needs to go to. I just don't think
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: you can control that. I think it's hard to do.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: I think that's just a natural thing that happens and
• 23:30
  Speaker 1: you don't here's the thing with the apathy, you don't
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: even know because you don't know what you don't know.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: It's just God. Like I would say, I'm very apathetic
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: towards most college football programs, Like I don't care.
• 23:41
  Speaker 5: I really don't, honestly, like even like the big teams.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: Like I was looking at the football playoff rankings and
• 23:50
  Speaker 5: I was like, oh shit, I didn't.
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: I honestly forgot Georgia last two games. I had no idea.
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: It's like, oh, yeah, you guys, don't get excited for Indiana,
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: say this, any Ohio State this weekend, Like not one bit.
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I do like I do, I would say I care
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: about college football, so like big games get me excited.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: But as far as like individual teams go, like there's
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: certain teams that, like for example, Alabama care a little
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: more about just because I I'm a big saving guy,
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: so I have some care towards them, But Ole Miss
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I have zero. I could. I could care less whether
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: they go eleven and two or they go two and nine.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: I don't care like so every team. I think you
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: just have a little bit of different everybody does. It's
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: your opinion on what you think of the team Indiana,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm I kind of like like, it's been fun
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: to follow Signetty's story so which I don't know if
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: anything else to talk about here, but I just thought
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: that was fun because it it challenges you a little bit.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Obviously we have a podcast, so we all care about
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: it more than the average fan. Yeah, for sure, and
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: a lot of my friends and people that we talked to,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: it's it's you can you can see the apathy set
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: in over time as things don't go well with certain
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: people that I would say on our scales are like
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: in the middle to below where we would where we
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: would have ourselves. They're they're lower. I think you can
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: you can start to see that a little bit. And
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: like you said, Austin, it's it's the generation kind of
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: right below us, and that you're really going to see
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: a drop off fast because it hasn't been good unless
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: things change and turn around and there's a new reason
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: to dive back in. I don't know where my head's
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: gonna go. I don't know, like you don't. You can't
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: control it. I have no idea in five years what
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be like. But I think getting a new
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: coach always helps. Every time they kind of pique you
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: get your back going, because once you get towards the
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: end of a bad coach, that's where you'd be like,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: this is a stupid and ultimately guess what. That's what
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: leads to someone getting fired is the fans, but more
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: importantly the players and the donors and all of the
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: people that impact the program directly. They stop caring and
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: they start stop start losing bad that's what get to
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: coach fired right there. So we've seen that obviously a
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: lot here at Nebraska, and not saying rule is there,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: but there's there's signs, there's some signs starting already in
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: year two that that we just need to be making
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: note of. Okay, next topic. We heard from mister Dana
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: Holgerson this week a lot there. He uh, I'll say it,
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: and I saw it to the point, straight to the point,
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: straight shooter. That's my biggest takeaway, and that is something
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: that I'm a big fan of. And we have seen
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: coaches beat around the bush, and the more pressure, the
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: more turmoil that starts to go on, you start to
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: just really be cautious and what you're trying to say
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: and real Steven stopped himself several times. Now you're starting
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: to see it with him. Dana right now, he doesn't care.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: He just it's I'm gonna say what i'm gonna say,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: and it's gonna be what it's gonna be. I like that.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: I think that's what needs to get set people, just
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: to really call people out for stuff that's not good,
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: and Dana does that. That was my initial takeaway overall
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: about getting into specific comments. I was like, hell, yeah, like,
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: this guy is gonna come in and not It doesn't
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: guarantee fixing anything or getting anything great, but he's at
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: least coming in and identifying the problems and calling out
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: the problems. The next step is figuring out what the
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: solutions are and how to figure that out. That's to
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: be determined.
• 27:51
  Speaker 5: I agree to an extent, but I will admit there
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: was part of me when I listened to his interview
• 27:59
  Speaker 5: that I just I got a little bit of the ick.
• 28:01
  Speaker 5: Like I was like, it just it. I don't know
• 28:06
  Speaker 5: if it's a product of he's coming in mid season
• 28:08
  Speaker 5: and he just.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: The way it. I don't want to explain it. He
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: just felt like an outsider who didn't care that much.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: He's like, yeah, this is what I'm doing. I'm here
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: because but I was bored.
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 28:24
  Speaker 5: It's just like I get used to being a street shooter.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: But also there's that part of me that's like, okay,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: so like you know, and he's like, yeah, you know,
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: likew's that TCU.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: I was.
• 28:38
  Speaker 5: I was there, but I just didn't like not haveing control,
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: so I just did other things on the weekend. It's like, okay,
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: so you really weren't invested in TCU. I don't know,
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: I just got this weird like he doesn't care. He's
• 28:49
  Speaker 5: just here doing a job. He listed off players by
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: number and I understand it's been there two weeks. We'd like, yeah,
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: you know, like number four, he's got to get this done.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: At number seventeen, he's pretty quick out there, but he's
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: not really too big of blocks.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: And I was like, I don't know, initial thoughts. I liked.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: I like a lot of what you said there.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I've always loved Danie Holme Seen's personality, Like he like
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: I said, straight shooter, he will not he's a wild card.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Hes gonna say there. I liked what he said about
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: calling out players right there, about not blocking. I mean
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: he comes in and tells him right away, like, hey,
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: what you guys are just not gonna block.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Up there or what like you use the word embarrassing.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, players call the players what they do. I guarantee, Sadly,
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: wasn't I guarantee say good job.
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: But but I will say this We've talked about with
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Rule a lot. Rule never did that because he's always
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: very cautious to make sure what the players hear from
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: his press conferences had a positive impact on his team.
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: This is a very different approach. We saw the negative
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: impact of it when Frost started to do it too.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: Street shooters often used for asshole. Just throwing that out there.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: That's a good way of putting it. I've also thought
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: that assholes can sometimes make great coaches if you have
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: the right pieces around you. Now he's obviously the offensive coordinator,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: he's not the head coach. Rules in his personality, I
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: think are they probably butt heads a little bit. I
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: feel like rules a little bit of a I'm not
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: saying he's not tough, like not a straight shooter, but
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: he has more of a.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: There's a little good cop bad cop going.
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: On, calculated approach, I would say very much. Yeah, good
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: cup backups a good way of putting it. I want
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: to go through Dana's timeline because you mentioned the TCU thing,
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: which I think is important. I think this all again,
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: we're just speculating and trying to predict what's going to
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: happen with this thing, and because that's what we do. Uh.
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: Dana was at Houston, had a lot of success there.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: West Virginia is where he got fired at and then
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: if you look and kind of see why he got fired,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: it's a lot of the attitude Austin that you were
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: talking about that I'm here, this is what I'm gonna do.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: I I'm gonna put in the work that I think
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: needs to get put in, which it sounds like he's
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: putting in sixteen plus hours. It was a comment he
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: made here. But I'm gonna do what I gonna do,
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: and I really don't give a ratsass about anybody else.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: And ultimately that attitude, when you lose your players and
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: you think that way and you have very little relation
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: to it all, that can that can end things very quick.
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: It can go down south south quick when you're not
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: winning games. That's what happened. And fans didn't like him,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: players didn't like him, the media didn't like him, administration
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: didn't like him. He just was a He was an asshole, right,
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: that might work as a coordinator, that that was the word.
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe not a head coach, maybe a coordinator. So that happens.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: He goes to TCU. He has to get employment because
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: because of his buyout contract, so he gets employment at TCU,
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: but basically described the situation as didn't have an impact
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: on the game to game was consulting, showed up with
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: a couple of games, didn't like they didn't have he
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: couldn't have any say, so he just stopped going to
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: the games. Really didn't care, was really doing it on
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: his own time, his own terms. And then in December
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: is I guess that was the start of this year.
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: Backtrack to December of twenty twenty three is when Rule
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: and him spoke for the first time. I think this
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: whole plan, maybe not so much him now, but his
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: plan of getting involved in Nebraska was always on the horizon.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: After last year him getting fired, there was talk, but
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: he said it wasn't the right fit. It wasn't He
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: needed some time off, he needed to breathe a little bit. Also,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: at the same time, we knew our offense wasn't good
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: last year. I think that's why we didn't go higher
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: a new offensive coordinator. I really do. Because Rule was
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: hoping this would happen sooner than later. He wanted he
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: wanted Dana to help, but he dow Dana wasn't ready.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: He didn't want to force somebody into somebody that wasn't ready,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: so he waited. Now we're here, he picks up the phone,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: calls in and says, hey, come help. As he said,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: he said he was bored. But then he also talked
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: about the respect he had for the program. Uh and
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: grew up an Iowa fan, which that's going to be
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: interesting for next week. He just is very there's pros
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and very much pros and cons to that kind of attitude.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: I liked it for the situation that we're in. It
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: easily could fall off a cliff. It easily could and
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: maybe even predict that's what could happen. Here's the thing
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: that is what we need to give ourselves a chance
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: for this year, for the future. I don't think anybody knows.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: I think everybody has thought about it. I think Rules
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: thought about I think danis thought about it. I don't
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: think anybody has even communicated though the plan because of
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: the focus that everybody knows that we need to make
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: a game this year, and I think that's good. I
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: don't know, though, I there's a million directions this thing
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: could go after the season gets over, So I'd like
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: that what he came in and how he said it
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: is what we need for this week and next week,
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: and his game plan for how he's working at it
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: is very good. Day by day he's talking about his
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: film watching like yet practice. I go home because I
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: watched a couple hours of film after that, and then
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: it's right away and wisconstantly blah blah blah, gotta work
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: on this. Obviously, I'm working sixteen plus hour days. There's
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: a little bit of me me I I talk in there, which.
• 34:37
  Speaker 5: I was waiting to hear what you were gonna say,
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: as I was gonna bring it up.
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: We've we've flagged that with Mark Whipple before, like we
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: we did that from the get go. Again, I think
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: I'm not saying bring back Mark Whipple, but bringing in
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: somebody like that. Though I don't, I like at this
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: time of the year, it's still a good decision. Like I,
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: Whipple and him have a lot of similarities. I think
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: they do. I would say Dana's success in his resume
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: is a lot better than Whipples, just because he has
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: a head coach experience. They're different people, but it's very similar.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I think that's what this team needed. Though right now,
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know about the future. I really don't. I don't.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I have I tried to myself not to think about
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: where that's gonna go. The biggest pro that gives me
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: reassurance and all the negatives is that he used we
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: and our when talking about the team already over and
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: over and over and over and over. I was waiting
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: for him to slip up and say the players this
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: team Nebraska, you guys. I never heard that. That to
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: me is a sign of like loyalty and that he
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: wants to be here and he wants to work hard. So,
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: like Austin to your points of like, oh, he's just
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: coming here an outsider, he hasn't made himself at least
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: believe that I'm not an outsider. I'm a part of
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: this program in such a short time. Otherwise, I think
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: if there's a part of him didn't believe that, he
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: would have slipped up because he just says it as
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: it is. He kept saying we our our team, like
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: all of those things, which to me was very encouraging
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: for where we're at now. That's not caring seeing anything
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: that's gonna look better or fix anything. I'm just saying
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: it was a positive to me that that was what
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: I heard.
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: He also said he made the joke of he asked
• 36:30
  Speaker 5: for the playbook and he said he got the first hat,
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: or he got it and he said, well where's the
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: other half? Is this just the screenplays or something like that,
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: And I was like, I thought it was. When I
• 36:40
  Speaker 5: first heard I thought it was funny. And then I
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: watched the clip and I was like, oh, I don't know,
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: maybe it was.
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: Just being an ass. I don't know. I have mixed
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: feelings about it. I'm excited for it.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: We need to comment on.
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: That, ah, I mean straight sure, I mean that's probably
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: the truth. That's the truth.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Well, I I have sent stuff in full, both of you,
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: because that was an AI generated clip that I sent
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: to you, guys.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: So I'm just gonna I saw. I was gonna ask
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: was that real?
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know if Dak picked that up. Austin clearly didn't.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I sent it to some other people too, and they
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: didn't pick it up. They thought it was real. But
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: that was gonna ask you that playbook, the screen passes
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: and the singing around and run the comments, those are
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: all that's a I generated.
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: I didn't even see that that's what you sent me.
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: I saw that on something else.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Guys. We we gotta be careful. We gotta be careful
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: with with a video clip.
• 37:32
  Speaker 5: That's the reason why I was wild. I was like,
• 37:37
  Speaker 5: there's no way that's a real quote. And then I
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: saw the video.
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: I was like, all right, I started picking up when
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: he's this might fake when he start talking about the
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: runs and I was like, okay, this, I mean I
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: could see him seeing them staying a part about the screenplays,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: like I don't I don't think he cares at all.
• 37:51
  Speaker 5: Right, Well, when I saw that after I watched the
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: Orgerson interview and I was like, it definitely.
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: Seems like something you would say.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, why didn't say what hold Gerson is though?
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: The only thing you worry about is within within me
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: and asked is coming right away? And these players like, well,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: who the hell is this guy right just walking in
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: like that? And then they like, yes, screw him, but
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: why which is why mount that Coleman just left? Yeah?
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Where the hope is that the players knew themselves. And
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: it's so I mean, it's funny when every time Saderfield
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: gets brought up in any conversation in the media with Rules,
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: Dana anybody, it's like it's like he's just I don't know,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: you just got the motive and out, like they're trying
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: to still talk him up, like he's this really good dude,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: but like no one has respect anymore because he I mean,
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: did he got fired from the office the coordinator position.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: I think that all of the impressions from the players
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: has to be Okay, what we were doing was not working,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: so we got to give this a shot. With anything new, though,
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: if you don't find success with it, this is why
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: I wrote this down. This is either gonna work or
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: it's gonna massively fail and blow up. When you have
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: that kind of mindset and that approach to things, the
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: straight shooter, you're either it's either gonna work, and then
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: that comes with wins. But this mindset is very hard.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: If you're not winning or you're not having success with
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: what you're trying to do, you get turned against very
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: very quickly, especially these kids in today's world where there's
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: massive opportunities that are very easily accessible to just walk
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: away and say I'm gonna try this now, like that's
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: the world we live in with the transfer portal nil that.
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: So if it doesn't work and it's not a quick work,
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: it's gonna blow up. And that's just the reality of it.
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: It's how kids are programmed these days when it comes
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: to persistency and trying to be determined on something. I'm
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: not saying they're soft, but at the same time, there's
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: they have some any more alternative options to choose from
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: if what they're doing is not working. So that's that's
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: that's that's the red flag that you got to be
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: careful with with that kind of approach. But again for
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: right now, with what we're trying to do for the
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: last two weeks, I love it. Like what we were
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: currently doing was not going to get us two wins
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: or a win. I don't think it wasn't going to
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: give us success. This is something different that's going to
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: give us a chance. Could blow up in our face,
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: I don't know, but it gives us hope that work,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: hope for the last two games of something different.
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: I'd love to hear his thoughts on the NIL and
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: transfer portal right now. I see he.
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: Coaches like that. Probably don't like it, No.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: I don't, because I would think that he would think
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: people are quitting on the team.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Name some other coaches that remind you of him, Like
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: of him, I got a few that come to mind
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: thinking about how they correlate with today's environment. Mike yep
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: Dabbo Dabo, the recent one in the news, Brian Kellyes.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: To be he tries to be like that. I don't
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: think it's I think he has a fake personality anyway, I'm.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: Gonna say it Ni Nick and Nick Nick Saban. He's like,
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: I'm getting out before this all gets really messy. It's
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: it's interesting how this all works at it is. But
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: I would say, on the flip side of that, I
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: think Kurt Signetti has it in him, a lot of it,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: and look what he's doing. So this is what I'm saying,
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: this approach. It can go this way or this way,
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: but there's not much in between on where you go.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: It's it can work, and it can work really well
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: if it turns into wins, but if it fails, it's
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: gonna like look at some of these I'm not saying
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Clemson Els you have fallen off, but they're not getting
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: to where they want to be. I have Lincoln in
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: the middle.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: I have one coach that's stuck in the middle whole time.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: B J. Fleck. Yeah, that's about the long coach. I
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: can't think of that. It's not falling off or going
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: any higher.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: You're right, He's he's one that's like that, but he
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: has just stayed stayed very.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: It's about the same every year, which is top not
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: for a minute like yet.
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: Yep, you're right. That'd be. That'd be a good one
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: to call out. It's different. Last day of thought here,
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: interesting comment. We can make some predictions on it. He
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: talked about he found a young guy that can make
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: an impact on Saturday.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: It's gotta be. Originally, if I was getting Malacha Coleman,
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: and then all this stuff came out.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: That it is, it's Malachi. I'm telling you it's Malachi.
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: I think so too.
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think this stuffs true. I think it's completely fake.
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: It's Malachi. In my mind, it's either that or Carter Nelson.
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: It's not notedge of blindman quarterback. It's not a running back.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Maybe escape Urban maybe.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, could be he's found it right as his quarterback.
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: It could be Dos.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Could be Dos could be Jayden Doas. It's a good one.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: It's it's got to be Coleman. He's not. I looking back,
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: I just went back like that sweets fakeer isn't fake.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: But anyway, it's got to be Malcote Coleman. I don't
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: see any other way because I can't. I don't know
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: why said I never used him either. I thought he
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: I thought he looked really good last year, and then
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: this year they said we're not gonna easy so which
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: did he? So did he red shirt this year?
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: He can so you can play, you can play the
• 43:47
  Speaker 1: four games and still red shirt. Another weird decision, not
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: that we need to get into all the details and
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: have a conversation about it. Of the decisions to red
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: shirt certain people, like it was almost like we were
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: five and oh so we're five and one. So they
• 44:05
  Speaker 1: thought that we're gonna be fine to achieve our whatever
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: our goals are, and so we don't have to burn
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: certain guys's eligibility this year. I mean Riley van Poppel
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: is another one that I feel I could have helped
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: us out quite a bit, obviously, Malachi I, it's it's weird.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: It's like we tried to take a we don't need
• 44:25
  Speaker 1: them this year, but the flip side of that, maybe
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: they weren't good enough to play. I don't know, but
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: then we're not using guys like Jalen Lloyd too, which
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: it was so really good range And it just makes
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: you wonder what the evaluation of decision was on that, Like,
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: was there an over sense of overconfidence with how this
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: team was gonna do this year and now it's like,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: oh shit, well we we made that decision, so we
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: can't change it because they can't. I don't know. I
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: thought I thought that was really weird with how especially
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: someone like Malachi, who we all thought from last year
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: could have made an impact this year, we haven't seen him.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: So that's who I think it could be. And and again,
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: if that's what happened, d Dana very easily could have
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: came in and said, what the hell, why isn't this
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: guy playing? But what did you guys do? What what
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: do you guys do? And they're like, well, here's the decision.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Dana's like, why, why the hell did you do that?
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: That's the stupidest thing he could have done. Like, Dana
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: could have easily said that, and you have your blinders on,
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: you don't know. You just say, Okay, this guy's not playing,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: red shirting him. That very easily could have been what happened.
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: And it kind of sounds like what happened. Dana's like, well,
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: we have this guy that's been sitting here all year,
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: he hasn't been playing, but he's really damn good, and
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: nobody had the balls to say, let's go get him
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: on the field. Like it sounds like that's what happened.
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: Right, And you know it's if he's like, hey, you
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: have this really good quarterback that could throw the ball.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: Let's get the fast, big wide receiver out there. Maybe
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: that'll be good for Dylan Royola, who keeps, you know,
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: chucking it wanting to check it downfield.
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: The other comment that AIND ties into our game plan
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: this week, Data kept talking about how it wasn't really
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: the the what was the word to use? Operations of
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: it all? It was, he said, the execution, the actually
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: doing the place. Yes, so I think it's important to know.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: And it's not like we are changing a bunch of
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: stuff scheme wise. There's some new things to learn, new
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: terminology to learn, all of that, but it ultimately comes
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: down to blocking, getting holes and then when you get
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: the holes, running backs, can you make a run and
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: rule set it you got to turn a ten yard
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: run into a forty yard run. There are times in
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: rule set it this week that you go back and
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: watch the film, they're missed opportunities. That's nothing that we
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: haven't heard with this offense. Uh, it's just now, can
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: we coach it and fix it? Use the word fix
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: for the last two games enough so that we can
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: get a win and against Wisconsin, guys, are defense is
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: gonna be good Like it's not. It's not. I would
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: say this defense gonna be better than the last two
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: that we've seen, and I was probably gonna be maybe
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: even a little notch ahead. Uh, it's gonna be a
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: tough defense to score on him. We gotta be creative
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: and in how we are scoring and designing plays against them.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: They're they're built a lot bigger, faster, stronger than the
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: past couple of teams we've played on the defensive side
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: of the ball.
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just I have no idea I agree that.
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: I mean, if you're looking at Wisconsin, their defense is
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: gonna be their strength. Obviously, that's why their offensive coordinator
• 47:42
  Speaker 5: got hired.
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: I looked it up.
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: It was Jack del nig Jack del Negro. Who who's
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: the uh former coach of the Raiders, Jack del Rio
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: Benny del Negro from the Clippers throwback.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: Uh, he got he was a consultant, senior consultant on
• 48:03
  Speaker 4: the defensive stat not the DC.
• 48:06
  Speaker 5: But yeah, Wisconsin's defense is definitely it's gonna be their strength.
• 48:10
  Speaker 5: It hasn't been great, but they do run at their
• 48:14
  Speaker 5: opponents points so, and who knows what our offense is
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: gonna do week two?
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: I have no idea.
• 48:24
  Speaker 2: I thought I thought Wisconsin was after they beat was
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: the Rutgers and who's the team that they scored a
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: lot on? Uh, I thought they were turning the corner.
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: And then it's just gone downhill since then, at least
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: offensive wise, their defense. The defense is still about to
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: say it has been all year up and down. I'm
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I haven't watched a lick of Wisconsin football,
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: like a little bit against Alabama and then Van Dyke
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: broke his leg and I gave up on their season,
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: so I haven't watched the lick. Like there's no reason too.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: They obviously Fickle's system that he came in trying to
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: do is not working, and I I don't know about
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: what was consent fantas feeling like, but I feel like
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: that he's on. He's gonna get in the hot seat too.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: The same way. Rule is like like I saw tweet
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: earlier he's twelve and eleven that they got hired, same
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: exact time, he's twelve and eleven. The rule I think
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: is eleven and twelve or ten, so something like that.
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: It said it said, which those two is more surprising.
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: I would probably say Fickle just because he came in
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: with a better well that was beforehand.
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So what's funny is I mean? If you remember
• 49:40
  Speaker 1: the hiring, Luke Fickle was the name that got thrown
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: around with our hire as well. We made our hire first,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: uh and and and took that rule, and then they
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: got Luke Fickle. It is funny to see how the
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: two programs have played out. Different starting points, for sure,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: but I would say we're very similar spots right now.
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: And Husker fans are obviously impatient, but Wisconsin fans it's
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: gotten worse since the decision that they made, and it's
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: gotten worse largely in part to the change in system
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: that Luke Fickle caaban and thought that he could do,
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: and it's trying to do again, very similar to what
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Bill Callaghan decided to come in and do on a
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: on a program that have been having a lot of
• 50:26
  Speaker 1: success before that. It's almost exactly following that same path
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: here they are throwing it a lot more trying to
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: it's more spread. The Wisconsin five, six, seven, eight years
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: ago was give the ball to name one of the
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: six running backs that they gave to. It's maybe they'll say, well,
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: we don't have a running back like that. Well, that's
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: also on recruiting to get some guy like that in.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: But they've always had one, their guy, Poe Walker is
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: they're running back this I think. I just think they're
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: going to go back to that. Maybe not completely there,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: but they're gonna try because that's how they're gonna get
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: the fans and everybody bought back in to what they're
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: trying to do. Guys, Braden Locke is deck you said
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: he's not. He's fifty completion on the here, nine touchdowns,
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: nine interceptions. He's not gonna be outstanding now. I think
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: every quarterback has had an above average game on us
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: than what they have shown. So even though our defense
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: has been good, we are still making other players look
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: better than they are. So don't be surprised if he
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: does have a better game than what his stats are showing.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: But I think they're gonna lean heavily on the run
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: and try to go back to where they had success before.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: It's really too late for Luke Fickle. I don't like
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: you said. I don't think he's on the hot seat,
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: but he's getting warm and this year, and this game
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: in itself is gonna be all that if Wisconsin had
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: to make a Bowl game. Bill Callahan didn't make a
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: bowl game, Like right, there is what starts causing people to.
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: Stumble, Yeah, go for a deck.
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: I just don't know. I thought I thought they should
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: have hired Fickle. I thought that should hire Fickle instead
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: of Rule.
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: I Pickle was a bad hire when Wisconsin hired him.
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I no, I thought I thought he's a great
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: because he came from Cincinnati, right yeah, yeah, So the
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: I I always I thought he didn't come in and
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: where he messed up was he tried to completely change
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: what they were. They were always just a run the ball,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: like yeah.
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: It wasn't he just it wasn't just that they were
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: good at ringing the ball. It's like Wisconsin will freaking
• 52:56
  Speaker 5: pound the rock against you.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: Can throw eleven guys in the box and you're still
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna stop.
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And he and he came in and tried to
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: completely like go in from that entirely, not not at
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: all trying the ball at all. And you can't. You
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: can't do that with your You're coming in year one.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: You still have the players from the last coaching staff
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: that that's all I did. So I don't know. I
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: think it's where he messed up. Maybe he can rebound.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know. But but for my remember Wisconsin Nebraska
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: all the time, is that their run game just destroyed
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: Nebraska every time. Then Jonathan Taylor said a record. Yes, no, no,
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: it's Melvin Gordon.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe Jonathan Taylor said it and Melvin Gorton broke it.
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: I don't know, Melvin Gordon said it. Then the very
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: next week some JP Ryan broke it.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: So it's been a rough And that was a game
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: that we were ahead seventeen to seven on and hundred
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: yards and three quarters.
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: They scored a game.
• 53:53
  Speaker 1: Any guesses since we've joined the Big Ten. Maybe you
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: guys saw the stat what's our record against Wisconsin?
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: We're gonna be like one in nine or something.
• 54:04
  Speaker 2: No, I think.
• 54:07
  Speaker 5: We played.
• 54:10
  Speaker 4: Two and nine.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe they beat him we had Oh yeah, I'm
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: gonna say two and let's.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Go three and eight, one and eleven only once eleven. Yeah,
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: it's a rivalry game.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: But these last two years again that it's about same
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: way in the max football game has always got eli.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: How did you lose the last year.
• 54:40
  Speaker 5: Last year, I remember last year, chub A Purty comes
• 54:43
  Speaker 5: out first drive and looks absolutely lector.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna say, I can't remember how last is what
• 54:48
  Speaker 2: happened last year?
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, guys, we've had one one hundred yard rusher since
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: rule's been here, Chubba Party in that Wisconsin game.
• 55:00
  Speaker 5: Nope, surprising.
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: That's also that's also you have a four running back
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: system right now, so.
• 55:07
  Speaker 5: Right, gosh, what is yes? I do not want them
• 55:14
  Speaker 5: to run it all over us. I think our defense
• 55:16
  Speaker 5: is going to do. I think our secondary and linebackers.
• 55:19
  Speaker 5: I think the pressure is going to be a decent unlock.
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: He's not a very good passer, as is any move.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll a lot make him move.
• 55:30
  Speaker 5: He has eighteen rushes for nineteen yards this year along,
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: so not really, but he will kill us when it
• 55:41
  Speaker 5: hurts the most. Their punter's name is Madags, so that's
• 55:45
  Speaker 5: kind of cool.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: That that is a classic punter name. I love it.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: Their people picker has made three fifty plus yards. He
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: is three for three.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: You know it's gonna come down to that. He's get
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: fifty eight yard or.
• 56:03
  Speaker 4: Yard range.
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: He is over to from the in the forties.
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: All right, there's addictions. But before score predictions, yes or no?
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: Do they store on the field they make the bowl game?
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: You said yes the other week. I'm saying I think yes,
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: there's no way, no way.
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: You can lead it.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Go to the game. You can leave the stormfield.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: Show off my shirt I'm wearing.
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: Just tell the people what you're wearing. You should be
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: wearing it tonight.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: I'm wearing a ball. It's not any order of Today
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: off Amazon. I'm wearing a bowling shirt like an actual YEP.
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: I sense people and they're like, what's that mean? You're
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: gonna watching the game?
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: Here you go, go to the game, wear that shirt,
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: get one of our podcast hats on, and just you
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: not even storm the field. Streak at the end of
• 56:58
  Speaker 1: the second quarter or something.
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: There's a shot I get on TV wearing that shirt.
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: That's true.
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: It is short sleeve, so I'm we'll see. Let's see
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: how long I have it on.
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: It's supposed to be nice.
• 57:12
  Speaker 5: Well, they's supposed to be good.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: Twelve recons, dak go, let's go twenty four to twenty Nebraska.
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you did it again. You just said
• 57:28
  Speaker 1: they're not scoring more than six.
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, that's right, twenty four sixteen Nebraska. There you go. Ah, Damn,
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: I don't remember what I say from the beginning of
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: the podcast.
• 57:46
  Speaker 5: Oddly enough, I actually had the same score as Dak
• 57:48
  Speaker 5: I had twenty four sixteen Nebraska.
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: That's why did That's why I did twenty four twenty
• 57:55
  Speaker 2: because I knew I stin the same score.
• 57:58
  Speaker 4: I hate it though.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: Twenty to thirteen Wisconsin.
• 58:11
  Speaker 5: Wow, you think the offense is not Dana Holgerson Ready.
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: I just don't want to think that good. Don't want
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: to believe it till I see it.
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: It's a no ball game for Nebraska.
• 58:23
  Speaker 5: Huh.
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because we're not beating Iowa.
• 58:27
  Speaker 6: Because I'm going Wisconsin is one hundred and twenty seventh,
• 58:30
  Speaker 6: twenty seventh nationally and tackles for loss this year, they're
• 58:34
  Speaker 6: the fourth worst and the big ten on third down conversions.
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: It feels good just being hurt.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: It's gonna hurt so much Saturday, guys, just be ready.
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: The thing is, it's crazy.
• 58:48
  Speaker 5: So I'm looking at the World Harold article right now,
• 58:51
  Speaker 5: the quote from Luke Pickle about firing their roc It's
• 58:54
  Speaker 5: not about playing calls, it's not about points score, it's
• 58:56
  Speaker 5: not about touchdowns. It's about moving forward with leadership. That's
• 58:59
  Speaker 5: to me, that's what we're doing. That's why we're doing
• 59:01
  Speaker 5: it now. I mean he's straight up like this guy
• 59:03
  Speaker 5: wasn't even like a good coach. He's like, was not
• 59:06
  Speaker 5: only were we not scoring, he's just a bad coach.
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: You can't you Nebraska at least fired there is going
• 59:13
  Speaker 2: into a bye week or I didn't. I don't know
• 59:15
  Speaker 2: what Stefens doing now. I don't really care.
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: He's doing a great job about it.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: Yes he is.
• 59:24
  Speaker 5: Even sat with the tight ends and something like he
• 59:26
  Speaker 5: was like, yeah, all the coaches position coaches are doing great.
• 59:28
  Speaker 4: Even sat with the tight ends.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: It was like, damn, they fired this guy going into
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: a game like, I don't think there's you can't change much.
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know who's com play. They might just go
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: wildcat if it. I don't know what they're gonna do.

  Speaker 5: You don't have to have a return address technically.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: Big Kickoff is actually one of the things I'm most
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: fired up about right now. But I hate it.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: Uh kickoff better than Game Day?
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I do like Washington Show better.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: I just don't.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: I'm on that.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 5: I just don't like their games at Nude are eleven.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: Simple yep, and they're starting getting a fire for it.
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: The last thing here mentioned the basketball teams playing Creating
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: on Friday. I don't have like a full breakdown or prediction,
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 1: but what I do know it's gonna be tough for
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: us to win. And I have not seen a spread yet.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: It is Wednesday evening. I'm guessing there will be one
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: out soon if there's not one already, not one out
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: yet on my app. It could be tough. I will
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: say our offense has done what I kind of thought
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: it's done so far through our first four games. It
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: has looked decent at times, and I think there's some
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: good pieces, some solid pieces there that have potential, but
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: then we go on a drought in that Saint Mary's
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: game on Sunday was really bad to start, especially defensively.
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: We were giving a lot of open shots and they
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: were making them, and then we got the lead, get momentum,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: and the next thing you know, our offense goes on
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: another draft. So that can't happen.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, just kill us inside.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: Maybe maybe maybe maybe Here's what always happens though, with
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: Creighton and Purdue and these teams that have these giant dudes.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: We do a tremendous job on our defense of rotating
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: and getting a quick double on the catch to where
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 1: the guy can't catch down, but we ended up giving
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: up a lot threes. And Creighton last year, if you
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: don't remember, just torched us. Torched us from the perimeter.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: I can't remember what they were shooting, something crazy like
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 1: ten to twelve from three or something. Early on in
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 1: the game. I could see that happening again, like we
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 1: took we called Klkbrenner right, but they knew how to
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: dissect the rotation that we have our rotational defense and
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 1: and and scored a lot on it. That's kind of
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 1: what I'm predicting to happen. I think we'll do a
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: decent job on Caulkbrenner, like he he dropped forty something,
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: or if he's dropped forty a couple of times this year.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna let that happen. But it's
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: gonna be a tough team to guard. And then offensively,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: like good luck one trying to score with a seven
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: foot four guy in the middle of the paint. We
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: just we just still need to figure out. It's a
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: long season, but we got to figure out how we're
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: going to consistently score points with.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: The team as well as it did last year.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: There's it's because we don't have immediate threat in case
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: A and a guy like Rank who facilitates the offense
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: very well at kind of that point forward spot. We
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: don't have that this year. It's we're trying to find
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: figure it out. I'm not saying we can't get there,
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: but I just don't have much hope that it will.
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 5: Caulk BRender is shooting nine from fel goal. I mean,
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 5: you should a nine percent free throw too, but you should.
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: Do is drop it.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 5: He's standing and drops it in and he's putting up
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 5: twenty six points a game.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: Austin going, but you going.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 5: No, tickets were a little bit more than I wanted
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 5: to pay.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: To be honest, I thought they're expensive. Yeah, yeah, I
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: just don't think the rest is enough offensive power. But hey,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: a two years ago their offense sucked. They beat Creaton
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: and Creighton.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: I might go to the women's game. Actually tickets have
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 4: gone down a little bit.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: I think is a double hatter.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 1: The women's playing a different facility about walking the Creating
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 1: women's facilities actually really really neat. It's perfect for a
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: women's team. Yeah, d J sokol Arena, I think is
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: what it's called.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: It's I've only been to the basketball tournament there.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 1: But he gets a few blocks west of the Charles
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: Schwab Field.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 2: So all right, so let's do this instead of corporate
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: thin because well, but Creaton spread project the spread.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be or what we think the game is
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: gonna go out to.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: What the spread is gonna be like coming out give
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: me eight and.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: A half, I'm gonna go ooh. I think it'll be
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: like twelve and a half. And I think they'll win
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: by eighteen.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think. Damn, I was gonna say twelve and
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 2: a half. Let's go, let's go thirteen and a half. Then
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 2: I think I think great wins by twelve.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 1: Oh that brastly covering.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: What I Yeah, do.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: You forget what you said already?
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah said the eleven and a half or thirteen and a half.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: All right, we'll be back Sunday, hopefully not extremely disappointed.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: Once again, go be grad.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: If you are badly when we're serio, it's gonna be
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 2: a blood bath. You picked them, Yeah, I don't believe it,
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: though they're gonna get just it's gonna be bad.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 5: Start Dy
