Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 358 ratings
  • Good insights and humor

    I get my Husker fix nearly every morning via the Early Break. The trio of Jake, Sip and Busch make for great interplay, discussions and humor. They each bring their unique perspectives and Bill has particularly elevated the insights into college athletics. Great show!

  • Podcast Format is Borderline Unlistenable

    Enjoy the dynamic on this show, but I have lately found myself skipping most days lately. I don’t mind that the show is split up by segment with adds at the begging and end, but the mid segment jump to adds is extremely irritating. The volume is twice as loud as the actual show and it always seems to fall during conversation I’m interested in. On top of that, every live add read is followed by several minutes of Bill creating some sort of mythology about the sponsor.

  • Talk more football…

    Love the show but it’s becoming a gossip show of random takes instead of a radio show about Nebraska sports like it once was. Please talk about more football!

  • Enough with the Dolphins

    Great show, love what you do. But tired of hearing about Miami Dolphins. Save it, try talking about NFC North or something worth listening to. Don’t care about Miami, very few dolphin fans here. Suggest Jake drop Dolphins and take up the Chiefs.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alex Katson (UW Huskies Wire – Washington football reporter)
Q: What is your impression of Nebraska?
Katson praises Nebraska's defense and corner Andrew Marshall, and says quarterback Anthony Kalandria will be Washington's biggest challenge. He expects a difficult game in which Nebraska could contain the Huskies.
Alex Katson (UW Huskies Wire – Washington football reporter)
Q: Which quarterback gives Washington a better chance to win, Elijah Brown or Demond Williams?
Katson says Brown is the better option right now because he runs the offense more smoothly, distributes the ball on time and lets receivers make plays after the catch.
Kathleen Markel (Writer/Director of new ‘Going for Two’ movie in theaters)
Q: How long has this been in the works for?
Markel wrote the screenplay from 2014 to 2015, raised funding over three years during COVID, filmed in 2022, and spent several more years completing post-production and preparing the release.
Kathleen Markel (Writer/Director of new ‘Going for Two’ movie in theaters)
Q: Walk us through that for those who have not seen it. And how does Nebraska get in this conversation?
Markel describes two children trying to raise money for what they believe is Jimmy's medical problem, with the story set against Nebraska football and inspired by Tom Osborne's example of integrity and effort.
Lee Sterling (Paramount Sports)….2-2-1 record on picks last week
Q: Are you surprised the number is this big, this high for Indiana, Minnesota?
Sterling says the spread is too high, predicting Indiana to win 27-14 while Minnesota covers.
