    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.

Talking Nebraska basketball with Wilson Moore

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?
