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

  • 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.

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?
