  • Okay

    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.

  • Volume

    I love the show but the volume difference between Sam and Dirk/Tom is making it almost unbearable to listen to. PLEASE fix this as I live this podcast!

Nebraska's bowl-eligible. A win over USC would take the Huskers even farther
Q: Why do you think Nebraska hasn't been very good in November over the last nine years?
They took their beatings in October, and things didn't go well for them in October. There hasn't been a ton on the line for them in November, and they just faded.
