The Frazier Standard with Tommie Frazier

This one went exactly where you’d expect: college football, Nebraska vs Maryland, Tommie’s weekly picks, Omaha food spots, fast food rankings, tequila opinions, and somehow… sneaking a homemade hamburger into a movie theater.

Tommie Frazier and Big Party kick things off talking about the wild Omaha rain, flooded streets, and Tommie’s Florida-grown love for a good storm. Then things take a hard left into Omaha food talk with Finnegan’s, Rookies, bang bang shrimp, pickle bombs, Brussels sprouts, pork tenderloins, liver and onions, and why Big Party may need his own Food Network show called “I’ll Eat That.”

Then it’s football time.

Tommie previews **Nebraska vs Maryland** and explains why Husker fans shouldn’t just assume this one is over before kickoff. Maryland may be coming off a rough one, but Tommie says Nebraska has a habit of letting this matchup get weird. The fellas also talk Nebraska’s running back room, freshman frustration, injuries, and why getting healthy for Indiana might be the smarter move.

Plus, Tommie makes his weekly college football picks, including:

- Notre Dame at North Carolina

- Alabama at Mississippi State

- Ohio State at Iowa

- Florida at Missouri

- Kentucky at South Carolina

- Miami at Clemson

- Washington at USC

- Auburn at Tennessee

- Maryland at Nebraska

There’s also a strong Culver’s theory, Popeyes chicken sandwich debate, Chick-fil-A travel meal talk, Pat McAfee opinions, and Tommie warning everyone not to bet the mortgage based on his picks. Fair.

Tommie Frazier checks in from Tulsa, where somehow the River Spirit Casino is on a river with almost no river in it. Very Nebraska Platte River energy. From there, Big Party and Tommie jump into a loaded weekend of football — Nebraska’s big road win, the Blackshirts getting after it, Matt Rhule’s process starting to show, and why this Husker team feels different.

The guys break down Nebraska’s running back room, the “hot hand” approach, the defense settling in, and why winning a conference game on the road matters big time. They also get into Indiana looking beatable, Northwestern showing fight, and the “Google Me” coach still being very Google-able.

Then things get spicy: the Oregon-USC hit, Dante Moore’s injury, quarterback sliding, players celebrating at the wrong time, and Tommie explaining why he’s never been a fan of QBs sliding like they’re stealing second. Plus, the Texas player’s viral “celebration,” Frazier Picks standings, Todd Taylor going 10-for-10, and Tommie’s trip to Tulsa to help raise money for local high school programs.

New episode is out now, and yes, we somehow start with Big Party sleepwalking through a hotel room in Indianapolis before landing on quarterback injuries, Nebraska football, college football picks, and Tommie Frazier explaining why football players actually need to get hit in practice.

Tommie and Big Party talk through the wild wave of quarterback injuries across football, why preseason reps matter, and why sliding might not be the safety blanket everybody thinks it is. Tommie also breaks down Nebraska’s road test against Michigan State, how teams prep for loud stadiums, and why the Huskers may not need to be ranked just yet.

Then it’s picks time. Tommie runs through a loaded college football slate including Nebraska vs Michigan State, Texas vs Tennessee, Illinois vs Ohio State, Oklahoma vs Georgia, Ole Miss vs Florida, Iowa vs Michigan, LSU vs Texas A&M, USC vs Oregon, Missouri vs Mississippi State, and UCF vs TCU.

Also on the menu: Indianapolis pork tenderloins, St. Elmo’s shrimp cocktail, air fryers, executive physicals, Iowa fans getting roasted, and the eternal question — if the backups are scoring, is it really running up the score?

New episode is out now, and yes, we’re calling it **Hangover Sunday** because college football will do that to a person.

Big Party and Tommie Frazier are back breaking down Nebraska’s latest win, and the vibes are a whole lot better than last week. The Huskers looked sharp, physical, and — dare we say it — like a team that actually knows what it’s supposed to be doing. Tommie talks about the blue-collar identity he’s seeing from Nebraska, the way players are blocking downfield, and why big runs don’t happen by accident.

The guys also look ahead to Nebraska’s first Big Ten road test against Michigan State, talk about why Tommie is officially done wasting time on former Huskers, and get into a wild college football weekend full of upsets, bad decisions, pink locker rooms, and one of the dumbest end-of-game plays you’ll ever see.

Plus, a well-deserved salute to Coach Tom Osborne as he receives one of the highest honors in the state of Nebraska — while he’s actually still alive to enjoy it, which seems like a pretty solid idea.

Listen now on **Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, iHeart, or everywhere you get your podcasts.** Tell one friend. Maybe two if they bring snacks.

New episode is out now, and Big Party comes in with the energy of a guy who just found 1,000 dead worms in his pool and then had to pretend everything was fine. Spoiler: it was not fine.

Tommie Frazier and Big Party are back on **The Frazier Standard**, talking Nebraska football, the upcoming matchup with North Dakota, night game atmosphere at Memorial Stadium, and why Tommie is not nearly as worried as Big Party is trying to be.

The guys also get into Tommie’s weekly picks after a rough week at the office, including Alabama vs Florida State, LSU vs Ole Miss, Nebraska vs North Dakota, plus NFL picks featuring the Bears, Vikings, Chiefs, Cowboys, Commanders, Bucs, Browns and more.

And because this show refuses to stay in one lane, they also cover:

- Nebraska volleyball looking like absolute rock stars

- NIL money and what Tommie thinks it would’ve been like back in his playing days

- Women’s flag football coming fast and why it’s awesome

- Omaha burger talk, including Quack Burger getting the proper greasy brown bag love

- Saving plastic containers like every true Midwesterner with “perfectly good Tupperware” already in the cabinet

- Taylor Swift camera time at NFL games

- Big Party needing an attitude adjustment and maybe not tequila at 8 a.m.

It’s football, food, laughs, picks, and just enough chaos to feel like you’re sitting at the table with the boys.

New episode is out now, and this one comes in hot — kinda like a Memorial Stadium night game after everybody’s been tailgating since breakfast.

Big Party and Tommie Frazier jump into Nebraska’s big win over Bowling Green, what actually improved from Week 1 to Week 2, and why it doesn’t matter if people say “it was just Bowling Green.” Progress is progress, folks. The Huskers put up big numbers, played fast, and gave fans a game that was actually fun to watch. Imagine that.

Tommie also talks about being back at Memorial Stadium more often now that his daughter Ava is cheering on the sidelines, including that viral father-daughter moment that hit Husker fans right in the feelings.

Then the guys hit the wild college football weekend: Oregon looking rough, Texas taking down Ohio State, Michigan’s defense doing the heavy lifting, and Tommie admitting his picks were… in Charles Barkley voice… “horrible.”

Plus: tailgate talk, why hosting a tailgate is basically a part-time job, fantasy football punishment ideas, NFL opening weekend, the 49ers defense looking nasty, football in Australia, NFL Europe memories, and a very deserving Jackass of the Day.

And yes, somehow we also get into dogs on furniture, dogs in beds, and whether a 100-pound golden doodle should have its own giant beanbag throne. Midwest podcasting, baby.

New episode is out now, and it’s a full-on football buffet. Grab a plate.

Tommie Frazier and Big Party kick things off with the important stuff: “Can you hear me now?” nostalgia, Jamal Rule winning Big Ten Freshman of the Week, and the internet somehow deciding he’s related to Ja Rule. Spoiler alert: he is not. Please stop making Big Party Google rapper family trees before breakfast.

Then it’s Pick’em Friday, baby.

Tommie breaks down Nebraska vs Bowling Green, why you never sleep on a team with nothing to lose, and how these early-season matchups can get real weird real fast. Appalachian State at Michigan? Georgia Southern at Nebraska? Yeah, nobody is safe when college football starts acting up.

The guys also get into the Michigan vs Western Michigan clock controversy, fans storming the field like they won the natty, the LSU/SEC eligibility mess, rookie money in the NFL, Travis Kelce getting old-man treatment, Dallas Cowboys cheerleader boot camp energy, and Tommie’s picks for college football and NFL games.

Games discussed include:

- Nebraska vs Bowling Green

- Ohio State vs Texas

- Oklahoma vs Michigan

- Missouri vs Kansas

- Iowa vs Iowa State

- Tampa Bay vs Cincinnati

- Dallas vs Giants

- Buffalo vs Houston

New episode is out now, and this one takes a hard left from coffee panic, pool bugs, and Sunday morning hydration into full-on Husker history.

Tommie Frazier and Big Party are joined by **Evan Bland of the Omaha World-Herald** to talk about Eddie George bringing Bowling Green to Lincoln, the 1995 Heisman Trophy race, and why Tommie still isn’t losing sleep over finishing runner-up. Spoiler: the man has national championships, a College Football Hall of Fame spot, and zero interest in fake-posing with imaginary trophies in the mirror.

The guys also get into Nebraska’s first game of the season, the new-look offense, what stood out with the quarterback play, the offensive line needing time to gel, and how the Blackshirts settled in after some early-game jitters.

Plus, Tommie gives his thoughts on Frank Solich being back at Memorial Stadium, the difference between coaching now and coaching 30 years ago, NIL, the transfer portal, and why today’s players live in a very different college football world.

It’s Husker football, Heisman memories, newspaper talk, Big Party nearly getting his house egged, and just enough chaos to keep the wheels from staying completely on the road.

Listen now on **Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and everywhere you get your podcasts.**

New episode is out now, and we’re already off the rails before the show even starts.

Big Party kicks things off with a 91-year-old legend finishing the Appalachian Trail, which somehow turns into spider webs, running for your life, and the time a cross country team slowly hunted Party down like Jason Voorhees in gym shorts.

Then Tommie Frazier and Big Party get into the real stuff: Nebraska football is back, baby.

Tommie breaks down the Huskers’ schedule game-by-game, including Ohio, Michigan State, Maryland, Indiana, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, Rutgers, Ohio State, and Iowa. He gives his official record prediction, explains why a few games could get sketchy, and reminds everyone that being realistic doesn’t mean you’re not yelling “Go Big Red” with your whole chest.

The guys also talk about Frank Solich returning to Memorial Stadium, Nebraska’s team captain situation, why special teams can wreck your Saturday faster than a warm White Claw, and what really matters in an opening game: penalties, turnovers, tackling, and not losing your mind by halftime.

Plus, Tommie’s Picks are back. Get in the contest, make your picks, and see if you can beat the man himself.

Go Big Red.

New episode is out now, and football season came in hot enough to melt the cheese on a Casey’s breakfast pizza.

Tommie Frazier and Big Party jump into the first big weekend of college football, including Frazier Picks, the TCU letdown, North Carolina sneaking one out, and what it’s like playing football overseas. Tommie also shares stories from his Nebraska days traveling to Japan to play Kansas State, which included both teams flying on the same plane because apparently college football used to have “awkward family road trip” energy.

The guys also get into Nebraska football’s future, including Millard South quarterback Trey Taylor, why Tommie thinks he could be special, and why quarterbacks who are willing to run can change everything. Plus, a shoutout to Mickey Joseph and Grambling State, some Colorado and Deion Sanders talk, and a reminder that coaching college football will humble you faster than trying to parallel park in the Old Market on a Saturday night.

Then things get weird with the fake 49ers player dating scam story. Tommie hands out the double thumbs down, Big Party brings the Saudi prince email energy, and everybody gets reminded that if someone on the internet asks you for money… run like it’s 3rd and long.

And of course, the guys close with fans who think they can call plays from the recliner, football season remote-control rules, and Big Party watching prison shows while trick-or-treaters judge him through the window.
