    Just seeing this, @Xmas32 and @funhusker, but I don't believe so; I just heard NebrasketballMike call into Sharp and Benning earlier this week.

    @Cdog923 thanks for the news.  Not that one death is better than the other, but I just always appreciate the calls from NebrasketballMike.  Even if its about something negative, he always seems to phrase things in a respectful way.

    It seems like the hosts really appreciate him too.  I remember one time his call got cut off short and there was "cussing" or something as the call was disconnected.  It did sound a bit off.  The USC hosts were beside themselves.  They were begging for folks that knew Mike to check on him and let them know if he was okay.  They were wrecks for like a half hour.  It ended up being something really silly like Mike's cat jumping on his desk and hanging up the phone and unplugging cords.  :lol:

    @funhusker Yea, Mike's one of the best regulars that 1620 has.

    For anyone looking for Husker gear, Homefield Apparel is dropping Nebraska stuff tomorrow.  Their stuff is incredibly comfortable and well made.  They have a tendency to drop some really cool items so I'm sure it'll be a big hit.

    Really fun story on The Athletic talking about the 2004 HC search.  For those that don't have a subscription, the NFL coach that Stevie P always hinted at was supposedly Mike Sherman.

    That's a really, really low bar. And McKewon is a better writer IMO, but I don't really read any of them much anymore.

    @RedDenver depends on what type of writing. 
     

    Dirk is fantastic on the long feature pieces that takes more thought and research. He’s actually very good.

    I disagree.

    Looks like Nate Clouse is moving on from Husker Online.  Will be interesting to see where he ends up.

    Probably a good thing. He was a mediocre analyst.

    Also RIP to Beverly Cleary.  I guarantee that almost all of us read at least one of her books when we were kids.

    One of the most widely read authors in the U.S. But not many remembered her when thinking of widely read authors because we read her books in grade school.  RIP.

    RIP to Larry McMurty author of of "Lonesome Dove", "Last Picture Show" and "Terms of Endearment" plus a lot of other great stuff.  "Lonesome Dove" is a banger.  So freaking good.

    Man, today would be a great day to knock off from work early and go catch an early season NU baseball game.  Saw a tweet from Sam McKewon that essentially echo'd the same thing.  They'd get a sneaky big crowd with state basketball going on.

    Army/Navy killing the uniform game per usual.

    Sweeet!  Yeah they always do be killing it!

    Seeing Mike Sautter getting let go from the OWH is quite the head scratcher.  Makes absolutely zero sense and I hope Mike is able to land on his feet.  He did a tremendous job covering the prep scene.

    That does suck. He's a good journalist.

    So I just found out about this Runza secret menu and my mind is just blown.  I can't believe I was too dumb not to ever order or ask about chili cheese fries.  I shall be correcting this over the weekend.

    And the fact that you can get all kinds of things added into your runza, just by asking.

    Hmmm.. Secret menu?

    Yeah my mind starting running thinking about the different Runzas/burgers I could cook up.

    I tell you what...a 30 for 30 on the '95 Huskers if it dropped this fall would sure go a long way to soothing some pain on a missed season.  Actually, having HCSF and TO breaking down some of the big games of the 90s over Zoom would be pretty darn cool.  Hat tip to the guy who I saw recommend this on Mitch Sherman's Athletic mailbag.

    No it wouldn't; it'd be a hatchet job and would focus on LP, Christian Peter and Riley Washington's gun.

    There's a good reason why a number of people incredibly important to telling that story refused to be interviewed.

    *shrugs* I think it would be closer to what The U was.  Taking the good with the bad.

    Knowing ESPN, they'd gloss over the 90's in 5 minutes and spend the rest of the hour talking about the last 20 years. At least that's the show Des and Wilbon would pitch.

    I hate the ties, but I really like the relegation factor. 
     

    @Undone the long baseball season is definitely a factor in why the sport is very regionalized until the playoffs.

    I was just mentioning this in another thread. If the P5 breaks away to form a new top tier of CFB, there needs to be some some sort of promotion/demotion system like this.

    Maliek Collins has also scored some points. Vincent Valentine was selected in the 3rd round.

    Who has that Nebraska Lockdown U shirt from a few years ago?  It was dope but I think only players had it made for themselves?  Message me if you have one for sale.  Also anyone have any good 3NOut apparel?  Seems pretty slim on what I see out there these days.
