  • Best Husker Podcast

    Best Husker podcast with good information. Sam does a great job. Loved the last two reaction podcasts, hoping for more frequent podcasts

    I like Sam’s points. The show is much better when Tom isn’t on.

  • Drop Tom

    Tom needs to stick to writing. The stammering, the lack of focus, the inability to succinctly make a point…he’s just not good at this. Appreciate his perspective as a longtime Husker Journo, but he is terrible at this format. Used to love listening to Evan and Sam and now with Tom I shut it off at the 7 minute mark every time because he is so hard to listen to.

  • A lot of Creighton

    This is a good listen but be prepared for frequent references to Creighton. They are incapable of talking about Nebraska basketball without talking about the Jays despite it being a Husker pod.

Nebraska baseball takes down Florida State

Nebraska baseball takes down Florida State
Q: Did you intentionally put Auburn into your Omaha Eight because they've got Nebraska coming up or is it just pure organic take?
Evan clarified that there was no conspiracy regarding Auburn's placement; he looked at their performance independently.
Talking Nebraska basketball with Wilson Moore
Q: Wilson, how good is this Husker team? Where do you think they're going?
I think for Nebraska, it's one thing at a time. Until Nebraska wins a tournament game, then that's the goal.
Are Nebraska's basketball teams properly rated?
Q: What's the ceiling for this team?
The ceiling is around 21-24 wins in the regular season as they continue facing tough competition in the Big Ten.
Are Nebraska's basketball teams properly rated?
Q: What should the Husker fan expect the next couple weeks from the women's basketball team?
