Jack and Josh turn on the mics after a crazy busy week for the I-80 Club, Husker athletics, and even their own personal lives! Jack takes the listeners behind the scenes for his new radio show and how it's come to be.

Then, they go on a deep dive into Nebraska basketball after their win over Illinois. What is the expectation of their West Coast swing? Is 1-1 doable? Why do the metrics like Nebraska so much?

All that and more on a Saturday morning!

Just over 12 hours after Nebraska finally ends its losing streak with a resume-boosting win against Illinois, Jack and Kaleb sit down to survey the impact of the game and whether the success from Thursday night can stick. Also, it's a little deeper into the show than usual, but the guys update their NCAA Tournament Confidence rating after a 1-1 week with a blowout loss and a big home win.

In addition:

• The potential surprising three-point shooting percentages of the Nebraska team.
• What was different about Juwan and Brice vs. Illinois?
• Was the change in defense more about effort or scheme?
• Why are pundits talking about the strength of Nebraska's resume even after this tough stretch?
• A look at Jack's "tiers" and what Nebraska needs to do to stay in tourney contention in the coming weeks.

Plus, a dive into Oregon and why they'll be a change of pace for Nebraska defensively.

Nebraska finally ended their long losing streak in an overtime win against Illinois! Jack, Kaleb and Jacob discuss:

• Sam Hoiberg gets minutes he hasn't seen since Pius X.

Plus, the trip to the Northwestern and what's still possible.

The Super Bowl is set and Josh Peterson and Mike Schaefer recap what happened to get to this point. The Bills/Chiefs game was excellent once again and the Chiefs were able to make the plays when it mattered the most. Are they more inevitable now than the Patriots were throughout their run? How do the Bills recover from this?

They also discuss Philadelphia's dominating win over Washington and why the game was so often out of reach for the Commanders.

They finish the pod with Josh's thoughts on the new Cowboys coach. Is there any optimism to be had heading into the 2025 season?

Another weekend road game, another blowout loss for Nebraska. Jack and Kaleb are back for another episode of basketball fan groundhog day from hell. Among the topics:

• Nebraska changed the starting lineup like the guys hoped they would, but it didn't matter.
• Jack has moved into the acceptance phase with Brice Williams.
• The unthinkable possibility that Nebraska was better without their two best and most experienced players coming into the season on the floor.
• How in the world do these teams keep breaking program three-point records against Nebraska? And how things won't change defensively.
• A positive, albeit a fleeting one, that the guys hadn't seen for a a couple weeks.

They also wonder if they can turn things around and if there's still time. Is that even possible right now?

They finish with a live hit from Jacob Bigelow who covered the game in person in Madison, along with his thoughts on what he saw.

Jack Mitchell and Josh Peterson are back on a Saturday morning and after they discuss upcoming projects inside of the I-80 Club, they dive into memories of Calvin Jones.

Jack and Kaleb get together to, once again, assess the damage from a two-loss week, including: 

• The largest movement of the NCAA Tourney confidence meter to date.
• Confirmation that there is still a path IF there's a significant improvement from the last five games.
• What are the best offensive and defensive lineups on the team?
• More complete confusion about the way Brice is being used/is playing.

Plus, why so many players aren't being used to their strengths this year and how that may be the biggest culprit for the losing streak. They finish with a proposal for a new starting five, a position change, and a new bench rotation

Right before Nebraska took on the Trojans of USC, Josh and Jack previewed the game and asked some big picture questions about the team. Knowing what we know now, it most certainly was a must win and doesn't mean good things moving forward. They also welcomed Kaleb Henry live from the arena to talk some more hoops. While the game hadn't happened, the discussion still fits for things moving forward.

Outside of hoops, they discussed the preseason rankings love Illinois, the quiet surrounding Husker football, the CFB calendar, and much more!
