We recorded this Wednesday night when it reports first started leaking, so some details aren't discussed here
EVERYTHING ON THE FIELD YOU NEED TO KNOW AND WORRY ABOUT FOR NEBRASKA FOOTBALL
Better late than Never
WE BEAT MARYLAND
WE'LL GET TO THAT OTHER THING
IT'S DOOM VS GLOOM ITS CAUTION VS PARTY ITS A RECAP OF THE TIME NEBRASKA BEAT SPARTY
Also the Yankees just got eliminated so if Justin's a bit of a grouch that's why, he'll expand on that towards the end.
YANKEES RED SOX AND NEBRASKA MICHIGAN STATE
THERE ARE STAKES AND THEN THERE ARE *STAKES*
MICHIGAN
TAKE THAT AKRON
We revel in our petty revenge over the Zips, review the schedule (of Mark Wahlberg), preview the Michigan COACH and Houston Christian game, and finally Justin gives a 15-minute extemporaneous speech on the history of three Group of Five conferences.
WON SCORE GAMES
Nebraska clutched it out over Cincy, and since Nick was there, man, we got to do an in person pod!
Detours include Justin not believing in decibels, our love/hate relationship with the Raiola/Mahomes situation and the sights and sounds of Arrowhead traffic, in and out of the stadium.
Episode art creds to Bode Soukup's Mustache on Twitter, taken from the replies to the Cincy final score tweet.
ITS THE 2025 PREVIEW EPISODE AND ITS EXACTLY THREE HOURS LONG

THERE ARE HORSES AND NICK HAS THOUGHTS ON THOSE HORSES. THOSE HORSES HAVE NAMES AND I HAVE THOUGHTS ON THOSE NAMES.
ALSO WAY BACK IN DECEMBER I WENT TO CHURCHILL DOWNS WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN JANUARY AND YOU GET TO HEAR IT NOW
We answer the biggest question of a month and a half ago: Is devoting time and coverage to Husker football this year productive?
We get real meta with our thoughts on the non-stop Husker football media apparatus, really fun stuff.
We also poise a brand new question: 1899 Cleveland Spiders or 2025 Colorado Rockies, who's worse?
The National Championship game is coming up! It's got Nick's side piece Notre Dame in it!
But is the way we got here the best way? Well let's see what my somewhat coherent pitch to be College Football Commissioner has to say about that!
Here's the google doc of my perfect conferences to peruse. I'll try to update it to be less confusing. Please sound off with any thoughts

Friend of the pod Jason Han joins us behind enemy lines to discuss Lincoln, not that Lincoln, how bad each University sucks, not just at football, and together we serve a fresh new helping of doom for all of our subjects.
It's a spectacular listen.

(i found the episode art on Reddit, AI art is still stupid and dumb please don't make it)
We got our wish, one Marcus Satterfield is no longer offensive coordinator!
Is he planning a mutiny from the inside? Does this mean we'll win any football games? Does this make us enjoy college football?
Listen and find out!
Those darn Yankees and that rascal Marcus Satterfield too
