    It’s Bananas! Nebraska football stays on a recruiting hot streak. What’s left in June?

    What day is it? We’re back to start another week, weary but full of excitement after the opening weekend of the College World Series and all kinds of excitement in the sporting world,  nationally and locally. Nebraska football picked up two more commitments, including a flip. There was a flavor of barbeque with the latest additions. Another big weekend of visits on campus awaits. What can Matt Rhule and the Huskers still accomplish in June?  We are remembering George Darlington, the 30-year Nebraska football assistant who passed away on Sunday. Darlington was one of a kind, in his coaching style and with his connection to the Huskers – even long after his 2002 retirement. Finally, we review the weekend of Savannah Bananas baseball at Memorial Stadium, CWS traffic patterns and food possibilities.

    Nebraska football mailbag: If starting from scratch, what’s the perfect conference?

    We’re here on this glorious College World Series Friday to answer your questions in a mailbag episode. We start with deep thoughts about the proliferation of gambling and its impact on sports as college football grapples with the Brendan Sorsby issue at Texas Tech. Are we part of the problem? What if you could pick the teams for Nebraska’s new, make-believe conference? If the Huskers are doing everything right in NIL, how do things look when a program does it wrong? Could Nebraska have altered the course of its recent football history just by winning a few of the one-score games that it lost over the past decade against ranked opponents? Lots to ponder today.

    BIG 10 SQUAD: The Big 10 is BOYCOTTING Texas Tech | How this affects Nebraska

    Big Ten powers rally against Texas Tech over Brendan Sorsby’s controversial eligibility fight. As the Red Raiders attempt to play Sorsby despite NCAA regulations, Big Ten schools refuse all non-conference competition, igniting a heated debate about integrity, NIL chaos, and the role of judges in college football. Is this a Texas Tech scandal, an NCAA crisis, or a sign the sport is spinning out of control? The Locked On Big Ten Squad breaks down why Sorsby’s 9,000 betting violations set off a conference-wide backlash, if conferences—not the NCAA—hold the real power, and how coaches like Joey McGuire are stoking national outrage. Can streamlining rules, stricter enforcement, or a new governing body save the sport? Plus, get bold predictions as FanDuel sets Minnesota’s win total at 6.5—will the Golden Gophers beat expectations this season? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    He’s No. 1! Trae Taylor’s impact for Nebraska football as a five-star QB

    Big movement on Wednesday in recruiting rankings. Nebraska commitment Trae Taylor jumped to the No. 1 spot among quarterbacks on the 247 Sports list. That’s a big deal. He’s a big deal. The Chicago-area transplant, gearing up for his senior season at Millard South in Omaha, now possesses an even greater opportunity to affect the Huskers’ recruiting class for 2027. We discuss Taylor’s jump and look more deeply at his class of recruits. What do the Huskers still need? Where have they scored? And who’s coming into town on this second weekend of June? Also, Matt Rhule is promising that Nebraska will announce something “really special” at its Boneyard Bash on June 20. What could it be? Join us as we recklessly speculate.

    Nebraska football: Matt Rhule’s 90-degree turn that you didn’t see coming

    The shift underway at Nebraska in this offseason is perhaps more dramatic than it at first appeared. In addition to swapping out two coordinators and a quarterback whose styles lend to altered systems, Matt Rhule’s messaging is different in 2026. His coaching staff has a new vibe. The first weekend in June left no doubt that Rhule is building the Nebraska roster in a new way — doubling down in areas that Geep Wade and Addison Williams find fruitful. We step back and look at the big picture while considering the stakes in 2026 for the fourth-year coach and his team. Nebraska basketball is scheduling more aggressively as Fred Hoiberg adds a nonconference game in Chicago. And the Nebraska baseball offseason roster shuffle has begun.    Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

  6. Recruiting wins for Nebraska and a big loss for all of college football

    Recruiting wins for Nebraska and a big loss for all of college football

    After an unscheduled bye, we’re back on this Tuesday to review the first big recruiting push of summer for Nebraska football. Five commits? That’ll do. But what about Ahmad Hudson, the five-star tight end out of Louisiana who committed in the spring to LSU? It seems that he’s back in play for Nebraska. Either that or he’s playing the Huskers. Regardless, Nebraska will take the publicity and work to run with it. Elsewhere, Brendan Sorsby and Texas Tech are doing their best to ruin college sports. Nebraska has vowed not to compete against the Red Raiders in any sport after a judge in Lubbock handed the QB an injunction that makes him eligible in 2026 despite his sports gambling issues. This story has all kinds of relevance for Nebraska. We finish with a little talk about the College World Series, set to begin Friday in our backyard. Join us.

    Do we have to go back? How an old formula might help Nebraska in an expanded CFP

    The Friday mailbag is here. We start this show with an idea from a listener about the proposed expansion of the College Football Playoff. Why not go back to the old BCS ways of picking participants? It’s not an entirely bad concept, say hosts Connor and Mitch. Was Matt Rhule pulling the strings as his touted QB recruit picked a high school in Nebraska?  Do reporters in college sports live in fear that their access will be revoked if they cross a line? Who among the 2025 CFP participants on Nebraska’s schedule next season are the Huskers most likely to beat? Does Jordy Frahm rate as the greatest ever? And are we giving Will Bolt a pass for Nebraska’s regional slips? Join us for a full episode. Everydayer Club If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

    BIG 10 SQUAD: Congress is trying to SAVE College Football | How this impacts Nebraska

    The Big Ten and SEC unite to push back against Congress’s sweeping plan to overhaul college football, setting up a powerful standoff that could reshape the sport’s future. With player compensation, playoff formats, and media rights on the line, can any legislation succeed without college football’s biggest powerhouses on board? The Big 10 Squad dissects the motives behind congressional intervention in NCAA sports, conference politics, and the relentless pursuit of media power. The crew shifts focus to Wisconsin Badgers football, debating whether Luke Fickell’s squad can clear a six-and-a-half win total and what’s at stake for his job security. Insights on quarterback Colton Joseph, a soft Big Ten schedule, and the looming challenges from Notre Dame and Penn State add fuel to the debate. Is this the season Wisconsin bounces back, or are bigger shakeups ahead for the Badgers? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
