    Nebraska mailbag: Might witchcraft unlock success for Husker hoops in March?

    The Friday mailbag is open. We’re diving in with a dangerous inquiry from one of our loyal listeners. Should he risk missing the birth of his child for an opportunity to see Nebraska basketball aim for its first win in the NCAA Tournament? Connor and Mitch, fathers who have attended the births of their children, offer advice. Another question: Might Nebraska basketball – and Rienk Mast, in particular – benefit from the use of witchcraft to climb the mountain next week?   How is Fred Hoiberg faring in recruiting? Who might start for his Huskers in 2026-27? If Dylan Raiola had not left Nebraska, would this spring on the football practice field feel any different? What would it take for Matt Rhule to win Big Ten coach of the year? Does Anthony Colandrea give the Huskers an identity on offense? And can Mark Manning’s wrestling team get a little love ahead of the NCAA Championships next week? Join us. Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

    Meet Nebraska football newcomer Kwazi Gilmer, who’s talking about dawgs, cats, the weather and QBs

    Nebraska football is nearly two-thirds of the way through its spring football practice season. On Wednesday, we heard from coach Matt Rhule, assistants Daikiel Shorts and Addison Williams and Huskers Jamir Conn, Donovan Jones and Kwazi Gilmer. Gilmer, the UCLA transfer at wide receiver, is fun. His presence rates as a plus for Nebraska. We review Gilmer’s media session.  Rhule continued with his subdued approach to the spring. He said the quiet part out loud on Wednesday – that the Huskers are simply looking to “float under the radar” this month. Connor and Mitch discuss this strategy and weigh in on the Q&A periods with Shorts and Williams, who coach perhaps the two most stacked areas on this football team in 2026. Also, the Big Ten tournament opener is getting close for Nebraska basketball. Join us.  Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

    Observations from Nebraska spring football: The offense … will look different

    We’re providing takeaways on this Wednesday to an open period of Nebraska football practice, the first opportunity for media this spring to view the Huskers’ changing offensive and defensive systems. Let’s just say, it’s all a work in progress. Offensively, Nebraska has plans for Anthony Colandrea and the weapons around him. Can Dana Holgorsen piece the puzzle together? On defense, several newcomers are setting the tone among defensive line and linebacker units. As Nebraska basketball prepares for the Big Ten tournament, four Huskers and coach Fred Hoiberg collected hardware from the league. Connor and Mitch have thoughts. And we’re looking, too, at a new legal case that involves 18 Nebraska football players and their NIL deals with the Huskers’ multimedia rights company, PlayFly.

  4. Nebraska football: Off schedule is now on schedule for Dana Holgorsen’s offense

    Nebraska football: Off schedule is now on schedule for Dana Holgorsen’s offense

    Nebraska is more than halfway through spring football practice. Can you believe it? The Huskers have taken a low-key approach to the spring this year. With one newcomer, though, offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen can’t hold back. Anthony Colandrea is unlike any quarterback that Holgorsen has coached. Colandrea is redefining the Huskers’ bread and butter with his ability to extend plays.  Ultimately, how will this work? Connor and Mitch have thoughts. And we’re looking at Rob Aurich’s style of coaching the defense through eight practices of the spring. Say this for the new defensive coordinator: He explains things well. Stands to reason, it’s part of what makes him a successful coach. Big Ten basketball honors are due out on Tuesday. Where will we see Fred Hoiberg and Nebraska players? Join us.

Nebraska has extended basketball coach Fred Hoiberg through 2031-32 after his team finished the regular season with a stirring victory at Pinnacle Bank Arena on Sunday against Iowa.

Nebraska and its fans wanted to win for reasons that transcended basketball and this basketball season. Ultimately, the Huskers got it done. We’re assessing the moment – and looking at what’s next for Nebrasketball. Join us. Everydayer Club  If you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.

    Nebraska mailbag: You have reason to BUY IN NOW on the Huskers’ offensive line

    The Friday mailbag is open. We’re starting with football questions about the Nebraska offensive line. Is this a good group, with three potential new starters and restructured leadership? We feel a certain, specific way about the O-line. Tune in to hear. And what about the new QB, Anthony Colandrea? Why all the hype when he wasn’t the Huskers’ first choice in the portal? It’s possible that Nebraska fell into something good.  On the basketball front, we’re revisiting the discussion about a team MVP for the Huskers. What coaching awards will Fred Hoiberg win? With three consecutive 20-win seasons, should he get more aggressive with the non-conference schedule? How would the season be viewed if Nebraska fails to get out of the first round in the NCAA Tournament? We finish with a question about a kangaroo and an important date in the life of one of our listeners – and for one of our hosts. Join us.
