  Speaker 1: Right now, the NewsRadio 1110 KFAB Certified Transmission Sports Brief.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: The Husker Buzz edition.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: All right, Sean, get off your feet.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Let's see it, Sean. How do you not dance to this?
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Sean Callahan, Jim Rose. Well, you dance to this if
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you've got a 40-point lead after the third quarter, not
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: like an 11-point lead or a 7-point lead after the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: third quarter. Yeah, Nebraska looked like a bunch of clowns
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: doing that, Sean. And Matt Rule was noticeably upset about
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: it yesterday. I mean, he came close to using the
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: word embarrassed.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, guys, it's something that a lot of teams do
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: when they go to Oregon. I mean, the week before UCLA,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: who won 17-15, did it. If you win the game,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and Nebraska at that point was winning 14-6, everyone was like, man,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: what a program. They're having fun, but if you lose
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the game, you risk this. It wasn't a good look, obviously,
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: especially the way the fourth quarter played out. It's not
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: new for teams to go in and do that. When
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: you go to Wisconsin, the jump around, opposing teams have
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: different ways to do that, too. They'll get in to
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: do the jump around dance. But, yeah, the video angles
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: and seeing Anthony Calandria, I think he shuffled about 35
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: yards down the field. It looked like a wedding reception
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: going on out there.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: Well, I think it's kind of a cultural thing, too, Sean.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of Nebraska fans, and maybe I'm
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: talking about the older edge, They look at it and say,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: why do they need to do that? They're supposed to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: be serious about winning the game. This game was not
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: in the bag. They just remember days when a Husker
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: made the first down, he handed the ball to the official.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: When he made the tackle, he just got up and
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: went back to the huddle. When he got the ball
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: in the end zone, he just gave the ball to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the official. We didn't have celebrations and dances. I mean,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: maybe it's just a cultural shift. Every single first down,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: we got to do a dance. Every single first down,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: we got to fire the arrow. And I'm just thinking,
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: is this the way it is now? And is this
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: just something that everybody has to accept as part of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: the game?
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this is the era of the TikToks
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: and the social media. Kids post dances and little things
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: on social media every day. I mean, it's just different. Yeah,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: the world's different, as we know. And, again, like, yeah,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: it didn't look good after the fact. But if they
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: win the game, I think everyone's talking about them a
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: lot differently. Like, man, they had fun. It's great to
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: see them do this. But, yeah, you can't lose the game.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: This is probably the key thing here in that whole
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: thing about the dance. Yeah.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, so it's recruiting week. Since the Huskers have the
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: week off and they don't play again until Halloween night
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: against Washington, Since it's a recruiting week, what's the plan now?
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: And your take on recruiting, Sean, is really one of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the better ones in all of college football because you've
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: been doing recruiting and it's been your thing for 25 years.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: But now in the era of free agency, how does
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: this change the recruiting construct for a program like Nebraska?
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Well, so over the course of a year, You get
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: 33 total days to go out in the football season.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: So for each day, Nebraska sends out six coaches a day.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: That's six of their 33 days. So you don't get
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of days on the road. That's got to
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: be understood first. You also can't do in-home visits on
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: these days. So you're going to games on Friday nights.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: You're going into schools. I think the key thing this
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: week to watch is where's Matt Rule? He, I believe,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: has been to maybe a local high school game so
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: far because that's all you really have time for. But
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: by week, will he go down and see Ahmaud Hudson,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: a five-star tight end from Louisiana? I would imagine so
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: if Matt Rule's at his game wherever he's at this week.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: And then what other targets? You're not as necessarily worried
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: about your 20-27s. You might want to go out and
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: see some of these kids play, but you're probably going
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to go out and also check in on the key 2028s.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Because after this week, you really can't go out on
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the road again as a coaching staff until January because
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: there's no longer coaches on the road in December. So
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: this will be probably one of the last big weeks
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: where the coaches are out and about all the way
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: until January, and that's more for the 2028 recruiting cycle.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: All right, big guy.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Thanks.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: That's good stuff. KFAB Husker Info Strong by Sean Callahan

  Speaker 1: with the Husker Buzz. And that's when we provide material
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: for you during a bye week. See, anybody can talk
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: about stuff the week we're playing somebody. But to have
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: quality stuff when we're not playing somebody, once again, that's
