4.4 out of 5 stars from 110 ratings
  • 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.

    Shocked Happer hasn’t turned this into a hoops show. Wasn’t sure he was capable of discussing anything else

    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.

Nebraska football: Troy Dannen, Matt Rhule and threading the needle on big money
Q: Is it a tougher sell to get money for over the cap rev share, given Nebraska's current roster and NIL landscape?
Yes, because external funding needs to be clearly tied to outcomes and there is a constant ROI question; however, corporate arrangements and multimedia rights offers a potential route to legally augment funds beyond traditional rev share, which could ease the burden if positioned transparently.
Nebraska football mailbag: Who’s in charge of making sure the fans get what they want?
Q: If the five-for-five eligibility proposal passes, what is the most important impact on Nebraska sports?
The biggest impact would involve players who are not seniors gaining more opportunities to extend their college careers, potentially reshaping rosters across multiple sports and influencing recruiting and retention dynamics.
Nebraska mailbag: What if … Matt Rhule had accomplished Curt Cignetti-level success?
Q: Is there anyone in the portal for basketball who could fit Husker needs?
They discuss the idea of adding high-profile transfers and fit over marquee names, emphasizing system compatibility and price, rather than chasing the top-ranked portal players.
Nebraska football mailbag: What do the Huskers have in common with the New York Jets?
Q: How close are Husker fans to falling off the edge?
The hosts frame this as a spectrum issue; some fans are realistically evaluating the program while others remain hopeful, and the discussion emphasizes individual media diets and daily engagement as factors shaping perceived negativity.
Nebraska mailbag: What’s bigger in Husker history than this NCAA Tournament win?
Q: What was the bigger stress release for Husker Nation: the first NCAA win or the first bowl win in years?
The consensus leaned toward the basketball win being the bigger stress release because it signaled a historic breakthrough in a sport that long carried more national attention for Nebraska, elevating expectations and momentum across the athletics program.
