  • 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.

  • Old Review Somehow Deleted 🤔

    A below average show full of reaching (to be kind) speculation and unintelligent takes backed by whatever flimsy thoughts enter these two dipsticks’ pea-sized brains. Poorly planned and poorly executed. Sherman is arrogant and talks tough on this podcast but week in and week out his tail tucks between his legs when given the opportunity to ask real questions that real reporters would ask in media availabilities. The other fella doesn’t even deserve the effort it takes to type something about him... more

  • Eh….

    This show is incredibly mid. One guy’s a “journalist” who loves to talk about how unreasonable Nebraska fans are, yet perpetuates it with his own doom and gloom and reaching analysis of coaches and players’ sound bites. Then, he’s scared to ask the same questions he poses in the podcast to the players/coaches when he has the opportunity to in press conferences. The other one brings nothing to the table at all. He’s a deficit who lacks specific knowledge which comes through in his meandering and ... more
