Jack, Josh, Bigelow, and Kaleb turn on the mics for almost three hours to take in a brutal road L for Nebraska as their season meets its maker. Take it all in. Or don't. It's pretty sad.

Another groin kick. Perhaps an all timer. The guys go over the fresh part, the final possessions of the game, and what went wrong in Nebraska's 67-65 loss to Minnesota. Then, they break down another horrendous start on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, before going a bit all over the place, including:

• Why this team’s personnel is so offensively flawed.
• Yet, it feels like they’ve lost games they should have won repeatedly this year.
• The difficulty this team has playing to their strengths as individuals.
• Brice drove (not much) but it worked. Jack wants answers. 
• Does this loss pretty much guarantee an 0-2 finish or is that take shortsighted?
• A classic Jack rant on bracketologists, spreadsheets, and the first amendment.
• Can they go 2-0? Following up, what would 2-0 mean?

Finally, Jack lays down conditions for a watch party Tuesday night.

On the final February Nebrasketball Brunch Show, we find out just how much the missed opportunity against Michigan affected the Nebrasketball Confidence Meter. Then, the ongoing debate about 19 wins. 20 gets Nebraska in, 18 doesn’t, but that spot in the middle engenders quite a bit of debate. Jack and Kaleb explain why they seem to feel differently about that than many Husker fans.

Plus:

• A tour around the latest NCAA projections and likelihoods.
• Why the NET is becoming a weakness for Nebraska.
• Can Nebraska get significant NET help from other games in the next week?
• Some realities about Nebraska’s spot in the Big Ten tournament are becoming apparent.
• The only things about this team that are consistent.
• Minnesota is an enigma, but how do they match up against Nebraska.

Finally, is the Minnesota game a "must win?"

It's a ridiculous start to the podcast in all the best ways as Jack lets the listeners in on an update to his computer setup that leads to many laughs, memes, and jokes. Jack then tries to post a link for another podcast he's doing but makes a mistake. More laughter is had.

When they finally get on track, they talk some hoops before diving into the meat of the episode: The changes coming to CFB and its effect on the sport and Nebraska football.

• What is going on with revenue sharing?
• What does it mean for NIL?
• What does it mean for Nebraska?

They unpack it all.

Nebraska's offense goes ice cold in a game their defense did more than enough to win. The guys react immediately by discussing:

• Did the right guy take the key shot for Nebraska? Kaleb and Jack disagree.
• Why so many different players struggled offensively for the Huskers.
• Was this just a reality of this offense and this matchup, or was it also just poor shooting?
• If the team can duplicate something close to this defense going forward, is there still some optimism? 
• Jack loses it on the refs, but wants you to know he isn't blaming them for the loss.
• Jacob takes a look at the Minnesota matchup in a way drawing some jinx warnings.
• Jack just puts his head in his hands for long portions of the podcast.

And more!
