Josh and Jack hop on the mics on a Tuesday night, still basking in the glow of Nebrasketball's upset road win at Oregon. They unpack how it happened before looking ahead to the next stretch of games. What record do they need? What record is possible?

Then, they discuss the addition of Mike Ekeler to the football staff and try to figure out what he can do to fix special teams. Is it scheme or is it players?

They finish the podcast by discussing the spring game's cancellation. Do they believe Matt Rhule's reasoning for it ending? And why aren't more people upset by this?

Jack, Kaleb, and Bigelow get together to watch and enjoy (?) Nebraska's 86-72 win over Washington. The game got off to a terrible state as Washington made their first 87 three-pointers (approximately). The mood was sour, but SIPS FOR SUPER CHATS helped improve things a bit.

Nebraska then rolled in the second half, doing so in a way that was surprisingly comfortable.

Take it all in with the boys from After Nebrasketball and relive the third-straight win for the Big Red!
