  • You better like roundball, or else

    When are they going to relegate Happer to Creighton athletics hours? Not sure why 1620 insists on giving a show to hoops head who isn’t interested/isn’t knowledgeable on topics outside of college basketball …especially in a football dominant market. Like October to April is just a giant college hoops tongue bath coming from this guy. Dude sucks.

  • Schaefer Doesn’t Tip

    Mike Schaefer admitted to not taking part in tipping on this show. Citing Mr Pink’s arguments from Reservoir Dogs. The flaw is that Mr Pink claims servers make minimum wage and that we don’t tip other minimum wage employees. Servers do not make minimum wage they make “server minimum wage” in Nebraska it is currently $2.13 an hour. The economic model is built on exploiting vulnerable workers and by not tipping he takes it out on the people with the least power in the situation. If he’d like to ad... more

  • Where’s Nick?

    Nick is still on the Billboard but not on the air, what gives? Is it that when Matt fails you won’t have to retool the Billboard for Nick upon his return? Is Nick secretly behind the scenes coaching Lil Matt? Are you cheap? Lazy? Both? Personally I think you’ve dumbed down the show by trying to lure in a younger audience. Gary’s getting long in the tooth but is still a show saver except when the youngster goes on a silly rant about something totally unrelated to anything in an intellectual perso... more

  • Too Soon?

    You replaced Nick with a kid, who sounds like…..a kid. I appreciate his effort, but he’s in over his head. How could he not be when the most significant parts of Nebraska sports history happened before he was born?

    This one is on management. I find the show much harder to listen too. Could be me. I simply change the channel.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Bartending and NFL QB Longevity - 9
Q: What was or what is your job?
Roger explains he started working at Werner Park, partly to have a job outdoors and to interact with fans, and notes his path included previously working in insurance before making the switch.
Andy Kendeigh: KETV - 11
Q: Andy, thanks for doing this. How are you?
I'm great, thanks for having me and congrats on the new digs.
Cody Nagel: CBS Sports - 5
Q: What outlook do you have on Illinois this year, given Bielma's reinvention and the quarterback situation with Houser?
Nagel suggests Illinois could be a mystery team: if Houser works out, they could be strong; if not, they might dip, but Bielma's reinvention and system familiarity offer a path to competitive play.
Cody Nagel: CBS Sports - 5
Q: Is there like a noticeable difference in the way that coaches at the SEC have talked last week and what you heard in the first day from the Big Ten coaches, or just kind of the stylistically, is there a big shift or change?
Nagel observes that SEC coaches tend to be more reserved and that media days have shifted toward questions about Congress and playoff expansion, which dampens talks about the team itself; when they do discuss the team, the discussions feel dulled down.
Getting to Know Nick Sehnert - 2
Q: Why switch to a role in Love, Nebraska instead of continuing in sports radio?
Nick cites a desire for a new challenge and a hands-on opportunity to influence the game-day experience and partnerships, finding the administrative side of a sports organization more engaging than a purely media role.
