  • 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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Did disappearing rivalries contribute to the downfall of Nebraska football?
Q: What will the quarterback situation look like with Calandria, Taylor, and Lateef, and is Lateef likely to transfer if he remains behind them?
Lateef will compete for the starting job and will not settle as a backup; if the quarterback room remains crowded by 2027, departures could occur, but the program is aiming for a clear starter by next season.
Did disappearing rivalries contribute to the downfall of Nebraska football?
Q: Do you think Nebraska's lack of rivalries in the Big Ten has contributed to our decline in football?
Yes, it seems to be a contributing factor, though not the biggest one; rivalries help generate emotional engagement and consistent scheduling, which Nebraska has struggled to secure in a new conference.
Nebraska football: They’re paying Matt Rhule an extra $5M to do what?
Q: What's with Nebraska adding $5 million on top of the $8.5 million Rhule was already getting to purchase the rights to his IP?
It's donor-funded and intended to capture the coach's IP revenue—like endorsements and speaking engagements—into Nebraska, via the LLC, effectively assigning those rights to the school.
