Speaker 1 (00:00):
We're just paying attention to this basketball game in Maui.
Have you been Hawaii before? Never have? I would love to.
My wife's been twice, but I have not. And uh,
they have the Maui Invitational, which is like one of
the is it would you say it's the best college
basketball like early season tournament. It's definitely the most notable.
(00:20):
That's the one I would think of anytime somebody asks
me to name one, that's the one you think of,
because there's a lot of them. I mean, most teams
go to one, you know, Puerto Rico. I watched you
know the Drake Bulldogs from my old you know stopping
grounds in Des Moines. They were they just won the
Charleston Classic. Did they do the Charleston after they won?
Now it's Charleston, South Carolina? Come on, why not? For
(00:46):
two hundred years, I don't think anybody goes to Charleston,
and that's what they're all do. Let me do, Tod, Well,
maybe we need to bring it back. We teach these
zoomers how to dance again. They're like, no, I'm going
to Charleston. I'm gonna go golf. That's probably what I
And there's a lot of street down there, you know,
get the Charleston chew, do the Charleston dance have a good.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
No, it's not.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
People of Charleston. I apologize for Matt Case, apologize for
my brilliance. Fine, go right ahead. It's not your brilliance.
It's you. It's putting all Charleston things into one pot.
And that's not what the Charleston people probably want. It
would be my guess anyway. So my bigger thing, my
bigger point here of what we were talking about here.
(01:27):
So the Maui Invitational. Four top twenty five teams are
in this one eight team tournament, and one of them
is number two ukon. Creighton fans will know that this
is a team that is certainly the bane of their
existence right now, much like everybody else in the country
back to back the Husks, sorry, much like the Huskers
are the bane of the existence of Crayton right now?
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Is it?
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Are they really? Oh? I'd say so. Now. They won
one game. Congratulations, congratulations, thank you very much. I'll take that.
And you know what, Oh it was what happened? It
was thirty? They won by thirty in Lincoln last year.
All those fans feeling so good before that game. Yeah,
they still should feel good. They're STI gonna. They're still
a top twenty team. So like, I don't know what.
I don't know what you're I don't know what you're
(02:09):
playing at here? You know what that pitter patter is.
It's the sound of all the rats leaving the sinking
Jaysker ship. What that's right, I went sinking Jayskers ship.
That's right. When the Huskers beat the jays How does
a Jaysker feel inside when that happens? Me?
Speaker 2 (02:25):
I'm a Jaysker. Okay, Well, how do you feel inside?
I don't care. It doesn't matter. Nothing matters, you know exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
See, right, you're going through an existential crisis of identity
because you because the Huskers won. That's the problem with
the Jaysker right there. You just identified it. No, there's
no problem with the Jaysker. You know why?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
They play each other in very few sports, okay, in
every single one of the matchups.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Let's be real. Basketball doesn't really end up mattering. Volleyball
doesn't really end up mattering. You could play them in
field hockey. It probably wouldn't end up mattering. Now, the
players and the people who graduated from the schools. I
totally understand. That's like the rival that you still have.
Because conference realignment stole Oklahoma from you, it stole Colorado
from you, you don't have those games that matter in
(03:09):
conference play. I get it, I understand, But Creighton doesn't
have a football team. You just want people who like
Creighton basketball or Creighton sports in general and Omaha specifically,
to just not cheer for a college football team. Get
over yourself.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Stop gatekeeping the most popular collegiate sport there is. You
want to act all high and mighty because Creighton actually
has a team that wins something every once in a while,
and you just hate that people actually tend to like
them and cheer for them.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
Get off your high horse over there.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I will not I will stay on this high horse,
and I will enjoy every second of it. Huskars beat
the Jays. It's a good day. It was thirty points
last year in Lincoln. I didn't hear a peep out
of you. Why would I talk after that? It hurt? Yeah,
but you know what, today is a good day. They
have owned Nebraska basketball. They have owned them over the
last fifteen nights. How do you sleep at night being
(03:55):
a jaysker. That's my only question other than that I'm neutral.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Other than yeah, no, Literally, what a jaysker is is
somebody who wants to support Omaha, support Omaha's biggest college.
Omaha has two colleges the Division One level. I support
both of them. Does that make me weird?
Speaker 1 (04:15):
Now? I know U and O doesn't play Nebraska and
Creighton in very many things, and nobody looks at them
as if they're on the same level as these other teams.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
But give me a break, dude. I want to see
Nebraska win in everything. I just prefer Creighton when they
play against each other. But you know what happens, absolutely nothing.
Everything Creighton wants to achieve is still out in front
of them, and everything Nebraska wants to achieve is still
out in front of them, regardless of what happens in
that game. Nebraska got their butts handed to them in
(04:44):
Lincoln last year by thirty points in men's basketball and
still rallied and ended up going to the NCAA Tournament.
For Creighton, you think this loss is going to keep
them from having a chance at winning in the Big East.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
If they're having the existential crisis that all other Jayscar
fans are having I think it will.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
You know, Jasker fan is having an existential crisis. You
are having an existential crisis trying to gate keep the
Nebraska football program. That's what you're doing. It's not even
if you're not even gatekeeping Nebraska. You're gate keeping a
specific team. One team, that's right, the only Division one
football team in all of Nebraska.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
If you're gonna like the football team, you have to
like the basketball.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Not how that works. That's not how that works.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
If Creighton had a football team and they played like
FCS football or something, Okay, fine, okay, fine, they don't
have a football team, so how are they playing?
Speaker 1 (05:31):
I guess Omaha. Matt Cay says, you can't like football anymore. Omaha.
So enjoy that. You're the one having a crisis.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
It's not what I said. Three point fifty six. I'll
give you more here on news radio eleven ten kfab.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Em Marie Soger will be right back.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
On news radio elevens and KFAB.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
I hate doing this, but Matt keeps me in the
commercial breaks, and he is continuously saying that if you
are a Jaysker, you are a terrible person. And I'm
just telling Matt Case that you're a terrible person for
gatekeeping your mediocre football program. Oh every careful watch it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I cheer for him too. I want them to do
well too, But you can't tell me.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Oh yeah. The people in Omaha and Hoiberg kind of
made a flipp it comment about this on Thursday, I think,
during a presser ahead of this, like, you know, it's
kind of funny, like most of their football or most
of the fans that will be cheering against us on
Friday night will be rooting for our football program on
Saturday night. He's right, you know why, because Creyton doesn't
have a football team. Creyton doesn't play that sport. What
(06:44):
you're doing is basically saying, if you live in Omaha
and you want to cheer on the Creighton blue Jay
basketball team or any Creighton blue Jay athletic program, then
you are not allowed to like college football in this state.
You just can't. That's what you're saying. If you are
a Husker football fan and you're gonna root for Creighton
(07:05):
when they play Nebraska, get off my lawn. That's what
I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
What I'm saying is, what are they supposed to do
in football, not cheer for Nebraska at all. Would you
rather Creighton fans just abandon their state altogether?
Speaker 1 (07:16):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (07:16):
You can.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
You can root for Creighton on the days they don't
play Nebraska in basketball, But on that day we root
for the Huskers, don't we Nebraskas.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
No, what Creighton does is Creighton doesn't have a football team,
So Creighton has to play Nebraska and only the sports
that they have.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
This is not Iowa and Iowa.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
Stay we're talking about here. These are two programs, two
schools and athletic departments that don't have the same sports.
You can't you can't compare these things to like a
true legitimate rivalry. So anybody who is mad about them
Jayskers existing, then okay, I guess that Nebraska doesn't get
(07:54):
all of that Omaha donor money for their nil I
guess I guess Omaha doesn't Omaha. You know that blue
dot that everybody's putting out that Omaha is the blue
dot with their old single electoral college vote, Well, I
guess that we're just going to have a blue dot
for the Blue Jays as well. And I guess we're
not going to spend our money at Lincoln in Lincoln,
at Memorial Stadium. I guess we're not going to have
(08:15):
the opportunity to hope that Nebraska does well in other
sports when they don't play Creighton, which is a non
conference opponent that apparently is a big deal that if
you cheer for Creighton over Nebraska in a game that
truly doesn't matter in the standings much. No, no, no,
nope nope. Matt Case speaking for all Nebraska fans, all
Nebraska die hard so that that that hate Jayskers, that
(08:35):
think Jayskers are the worst people alive.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
I don't hate them. You said you called them rats
an hour ago. Okay, that's true. You did say all right,
I did say that, didn't I huh, yeah, what do
you think about that now? No, I'm just feeling good.
I'm feeling good as a huskar fan. And I got
a little bit. I didn't say a darn I got
a little by.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
I didn't say a darn word last year when they
went and played in Lincoln and Creighton beating by thirty.
Didn't say a word, didn't say I want them both
to do well, and.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
I want to root on both. I want to root
on Omaha too. I think the maths are important to
root on too. I agree. I know you don't.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
You know you're gate keeping the Nebraska football program from
people who cheer for other teams besides Nebraska in the
state of nebra Here's the thing.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I generally root for Creyton halfheartedly most of the time.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Oh I bet you do. I do kind of score
a half heartedly j you know. But to be honest,
like anybody who's watched this basketball, these basketball teams for
as long as I have, like you know, I just
here's the thing. Like I said, it's an existential crisis
day that today is national state stational, not national, but
(09:40):
statewide station old. Yeah, that's what we're making up, the
making up. Hey, hey, if Shakespeare can do it, so
can I. Today is state wide jayskerr existential crisis day.
Think about yourself, think about who you root for, think
about how you line your priorities, and get back to me.
Maybe we can talk. That's all I'm asking.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Nobody's having any existential christ except for you. You and all
the other Jaysker haters out there. You don't think you
don't think that it's okay for people to enjoy Nebraska
football because they want to cheer for a football team
that represents them as in the state of Nebraska. Theoretically,
even though we just did a segment of what twenty
minutes ago talking about how it doesn't feel like you
(10:21):
can attach yourself to a team anymore because of you know,
all the nil and transfer portal business, well, they still
are ware in the end, they still are playing for Nebraska.
Creighton represents Omaha. They represent people who went there, They
represent people in this town, they represent people all over
the place Omaha. You and O they represent people in
(10:41):
Omaha too. They're just a smaller version of that. And
I think it's important that we can enjoy all of
them equally, and when they play each other, you can
pick your allegiance whatever makes sense for you, but it
makes sense for us to all cheer everybody on together.
The amount of Nebraska fans that have hate for Peace,
people that cheer for Nebraska football but like Creighton basketball more,
(11:04):
it's asinine to me.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Okay, asinine. I'm not saying that you can't enjoy Creighton
basketball too. I'm just saying that if you are a
diehard Husker football fan and you're gonna tell me that
you're rooting for Creighton over Nebraska when they play at basketball.
I think maybe today you should have an existential crisis.
That's all I'm saying. Yeah, now, that's toxic masculinity coming
out of here. That's toxic husculinity. No, and you should
(11:27):
enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
You are a husky guy. But I'm telling you you
are wrong here. You are gatekeeping a thing that shouldn't
be gate kept.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I am basking in my husculinity today and everyone else
who's with me? Are you with me? Now? Let's go Huskers.
I think that you are absolutely insane and I do
not agree with this take, and you better be careful
about how you put this on the podcast. I don't
want people thinking I have this terrible take. You're gonna
have to own this one. Pal. You win one basketball
(11:56):
game against a good team and all of a sudden,
listen to this guy go absolutely ridiculous. Anyway, it's four
forty four. We do have some other things in the
news that we want to talk about. We want to
have some fun.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
We're having some fun today and if you've got some
things that are on your mind, email me Emri at
kfab dot com. Will of course talk about Nebraska becoming
Bowl eligible, and how everybody, including people in Omaha like Creighton,
how they can enjoy that as well. Yeah, it's not
wrong for them to enjoy that, So stick around on
news radio eleven teen KFAB
