  • It’s ok.

    I listen to a lot of pods from the Locked On network and the majority of em seem like guys that are actually routing for the team they’re covering…because they are. This one seems more like a couple guys who took a job covering a team. It’s good for info but, if you’re looking for guys to give ya something to route for, this sadly isn’t it.

  • Good daily show! Wish we got some more scoops

    Mitch and Connor do a great job handling the tough task a daily podcast presents. They really shine in the late off season and early season, when there is a lot going on.

    One ask, and I know it’s hard but the most recent “will he, won’t he?” Raiola conversation was pretty brutal. We’re gonna just speculate like people at my water cooler? I get Nebraska reporters love their access but really? I know Mitch has something to work off of other than speculation.

  • Who Keeps Paying Mitch Sherman?

    Going to Mitch Sherman for any legitimate insight or analysis of any kind is like going to a brothel for a hug.

    Yeah, you got there eventually, you probably got what you wanted and your itch scratched, but you should be much smarter with how you value both your money and your time.

    Love this show. Mitch and Connor are two of the best covering Nebraska sports. In contrast to so many other pods/programs, it is not loud or obnoxious. It is simply intelligent, articulate discussion and analysis.

What we’re overlooking this summer that will matter for Nebraska football in 2026
Q: What are we talking about now that will turn out to be irrelevant by Big Ten play?

Grades for the new Big Ten football coaching lineup. And what they mean for Nebraska
Q: Who do you think will be successful this year among the new Big Ten coaches?
They lean toward Whittingham and Campbell as the most likely to succeed in year one, with Chesney and Fitzgerald as solid but less certain options, largely based on program conditions and prior experience.
Five-for-five: How it can reshape the QB picture ahead for Nebraska football
Q: How could the five-for-five rule reshape the quarterback situation at Nebraska?
It could allow Anthony Colandrea to return for a fifth year while Trae Taylor sits and develops, with both players benefiting from an extended timeline and potential transfers, ultimately creating a more flexible depth chart and a longer window to evaluate and develop QB talent.
Did disappearing rivalries contribute to the downfall of Nebraska football?
Q: If you could travel to see any historical sporting event, where would you go and why?
The hosts discuss multiple historic moments, highlighting the appeal of iconic events like the Miracle on Ice and Usain Bolt's Olympic feats as vivid representations of peak athletic performance and lasting legend in sports history.
