Speaker 1 (00:00):
To kind of give you the cliff notes of what's
going on right now with nil. We're on the verge
of this house settlement which would begin in July. So
for the time being, collectives are fully operable. Schools are
operating as well as if they will have the twenty
point five million to spend starting in July, but there
(00:20):
are no guardrails for the collectives, so it's kind of
emptied the bank account out right now. And that's been
a tactic I think a lot of schools have used
to push for commits. You're seeing Tennessee right now. Their
quarterback is threatening if he doesn't get the deal or
offer he wants, he could go on the transfer portal.
And Nico's one of the top quarterbacks in the SEC,
(00:41):
so yeah, you're going to see. Yeah, that was just
reported today that he Nico the top quarterback of Tennessee.
Not even going to try the last name. It's about
a five syllable last day, but he is looking to go,
you know, to renegotiate Tennessee, and if he doesn't get
what he wants, you know, it could put him in
(01:03):
the portal to see what else is out there for himself.
So that there's this kind of race to July where
schools are emptying out the bank accounts of the collective
BYU and plays like this have a lot of money.
I mean, Nebraska has benefited from guys. I mean they've
added five transfers this week alone, and at least two
(01:24):
or three of those guys were pretty significant additions in
terms of the price tag involved. So that's what's going
on right now, and you're gonna see a lot of
big money now. I will it self correct once house
settlement goes through over time. Who cares. Who knows, I mean,
nobody knows, but everyone's just operating with all this money
until the settlement comes through.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
It's just insane to me. The fact that you're telling
me that one of the top a guy who was
in the playoff he started for Tennessee and the college
football Playoff just this past year, could get in the
portal now while spring practices bird is just wild to
me to think about. But it is a brave new world.
Let's talk about the Huskers here. What have we learned
(02:08):
in the last couple of days with the football program?
Knowing that what are we three weeks in now or
so to spring practice?
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yeah, today was a great day as far as this
information Dana Holgerson is probably in terms of just shooting
you straight, giving you the answers you want. He's maybe
the best coach on the staff for that. And he
was great today. And you know, he gave a really
clear picture of the running back room that you know
right now it's Johnson and Quentin and I's Quinn and
I just kind of emerged as that number two and
(02:36):
has a leg up on the other guys at wide receiver.
I think we now have a really good idea who
the top six are going to be Day and Key
and Isaiah Hunter to Corey Barney, Janiron Bonner. Then two
true freshmen are going to play this year. He said
that point blank, Cortees Mills and that's not a surprise.
But then Isaiah Mosey, mar Mosey's son, who was a
(02:58):
longtime Oregan commit out of Canda City. Those two true
freshmen have shown enough. In fact, the Holgerson said today
that they are as good as any receiver they have
in terms of charting their success rates in one on
one drills and getting off the line of scrimmage, catching balls,
et cetera. So that was a really promising report as well.
(03:19):
And you know it's been physical. You're in that grind
of spring ball. The end of week three, guys are
a little beat up. Next week will be a lighter load.
After Saturday. They'll only have Monday and or Tuesday and
Thursday practice next week because of the Eastern holiday. And
then essentially the next week they're only going to have
a Tuesday and Thursday practice because that Saturday, the night
(03:39):
twenty six is it going to be the fan festival
event they're going to host, and that's going to count
as a practice.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
All right, Well, that all sounds incredibly interesting. I know
that we could talk about so much more, but I
know that things are on the crazy train also with
recruiting season, and I'm seeing you, especially in your social media,
sharing a lot of Omaha area football recruits. And we
know this area to be pretty ripe with some really
(04:09):
good talent that gets heavily recruited by a lot of schools,
especially here in the Midwest. And I saw that Jet
Tamala was offered by Iowa just in the last hour
or so, and I know that a lot of people
had him kind of on their eye because he's one
of these guys from Millard South that is just eye
popping when you watch him. What for you, what's kind
(04:30):
of that timeline look like, Because you're telling me that
there's still college kids that can be in the portal
and recruiting, Like, what's the story on just the negotiations
with some of these schools trying to nail down some
of this talent that they can get that's either in
the class for the year after next or even deeper
from that.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Well with high school recruits like jet Tamala, who was
offered by Iowa to day and you know you visited
Ohio State this week. He's a consensus number one player
right now. In Nebraska. I mean, there's probably four guys
in the state that have received you know, highly, you know,
reputable power four offers and Jetsamala, Isaac Gainst and Darien
Jones and Leighton Burbac at Norfoth Catholic. Those are probably four,
(05:10):
you know when you look at their offer list. So
these guys are being recruited a little bit differently than
a lot of the other kids right now. Iowa State
has come in and offered a bunch of guys too,
but with high school recruiting. It's a little different than
portal because these high school kids are going to be
walking into college football after the house settlement case. So
there's not a lot you can do, and we need
tell you know what it's going to look like. And
(05:30):
with the money and the financing, and you know, the
portal market is where the money is right now because
of just the immediacy of what these guys can provide.
And it is going to be wide opening here on
Wednesday next week. You're going to see on Wednesday, April sixteenth,
that thing is going to open up, and there'll be
a lot of guys that go in, probably trying to
(05:51):
chase some dollars knowing that there are dollars out there
to chase before this loophole closes before July.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Sean Kelly and joining us last nay for you, Sean,
Is it more fun to follow this stuff now or
before when you know college athletics had this wide open
transfer portal and all this money coming in? Like, which
do you prefer as a journalist?
Speaker 1 (06:12):
They both have. They both have their ups and downs.
What I like about it now is you can you
can correct a roster pretty quickly, and you can do
it overnight almost in some cases. We saw that a
lot with Indiana this year, and I mean, I think
Nebraska's added some guys this year. They're going to really
change some position rooms for him. You know, like Williams
when Airy as a high school recruit, I never would
(06:33):
have thought in Nebraska get Williams when Airy. Now he's
here at LINKED a year later as a former five star,
number one defensive end in the country. So that is
exciting because it's allowed Nebraska to get players that maybe
they would have been able to get, Like Trey Palmer
was a five star receiver when he came out of Louisiana,
went to the LSU, came to Nebraska, became a draft pick.
(06:53):
So that's delivered some exciting storylines in that sense. But
it is hard to cover and it's hard, hard to
get attached, and you know, high school kids are just
going to get less opportunities and you're going to see
more and more teams kind of give up on high
school kids quicker because of the pressure they have now
with the portal and finding players. So that is the
one negative is a lot of good high school players
(07:16):
that would have maybe gotten a shot at Nebraska or
Iowa State or Iowa or whoever may not get that
same shot because of the lack of opportunity because everybody
is so fixiated on finding a twenty one year old
in the portal.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Yeah, it's going to be really interesting to see how
this continues to change. As you mentioned, a whole new
chapter of this era of college football college sport is
going to be coming up here just at the on
the other side of the summer. So Sean Callahan will
be giving it all to us. We'll chat a couple
of times next week. Sean, really appreciate the info.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Thank you.
Speaker 2 (07:48):
All Right, it is five to eighteen. All of the
stuff that's happening in the news, we will try to
condense it into very easy to understand and fun to
listen to conversations over the next forty minutes. We can't
wait to do that way you so stay with us
on news radio eleven ten KFAB and Marie Songer on
news Radio eleven ten KFAB. Which door would you like
(08:10):
to open?
Speaker 1 (08:10):
One?
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Two, or three?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Is there a window?
Speaker 4 (08:12):
H No?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Is this room built to code?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Nope?
Speaker 3 (08:15):
Okay, in that case, be quick, I'll take number two,
number two, That is the stock market.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
Thigning ning the closing bell. It is wrapped up. And
where did the roulette ball land today, Matt Case.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
In the stock market, everything was down, I got oh boom, Yeah,
we was down boom.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Now.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Jones was down a little over one thousand points lost
two lost a two point five percent, and it did
finish below forty thousand at thirty nine thousand and six.
Five hundred and ninety three s and P five hundred
was down one hundred and eighty eight point eight points
or minus three point four to six percent to finish
off the day at five thousand, two hundred and six,
(09:01):
and the NASDAK was down seven hundred and thirty seven
point sixty six points or minus four point three one
percent to finish off the day at sixteen thy three
hundred and eighty seven. And of course everyone's weighted with
baited breath for the Russell two k. Why do you
have to always troll the Russell two K? The short
kings among us, You always call them that, but that's
(09:22):
not necessarily all. It's a bunch of short stock.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
They're tiny stocks, yeah, tiny little stock, but they just
they met are just as much.
Speaker 4 (09:29):
So they're just.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Adorable out there and they're tiny little stocks, those short
kings out there at the Russell two K down eighty
one points eighty one point seven seven points. That's minus
four point twenty seven percent. You hate to see it
to the little guys?
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Is that right?
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Volatility is up, so there is some good news. Volatility
is up twenty one point one two percent. I don't.
I don't invest in that stock, but if you do,
you're feeling pretty good.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
All right, Well that's not good overall predictions for tomorrow.
We're not giving you advice. Do not listen to us
and think that it's advice. We are not the advice guys.
You know what we are. We are commentators who are
looking at something and talking about it. So don't put
words in our mouths, and they'll get mad at us
that we said something you don't like. Right, you think
(10:17):
that settles down? You think we're due for another red
day tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I don't even take my own advice. Do I expect
you to take my advice?
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Please?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
You drink toilet water? Go on, wait, you're just gonna
say that publicly?
Speaker 2 (10:32):
What do you think is gonna have tomorrow toilet breath?
Speaker 3 (10:37):
I do not drink toilet water I am willing to
joke up to that point. I do not want people
thinking I drink toilet water. Okay, so it's gonna happen
to marrow. You need to have a public apology. All right,
Well I apologize for the you know it's from the jarnal. Okay,
So tomorrow, I think things are gonna be mixed.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
What does that even mean? Is that just like level
pretty level up down all around.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
I think it's gonna be mixed. I think it's going
into the weekend. You know, like it depends on what
Trump says in the morning. I guess, right, because that
seems to be dictating what everybody does during the rest
of the day. I think I think it's gonna be
I think I think it's gonna be mixed. I think
one of these big indices is gonna be up a little,
and there's another one that's gonna be down a little.
I think it's gonna be kind of smooth. I think
(11:21):
people are gonna feel good about that. I think that's
the best result we need to. We need a plateau,
is what you're saying. Yeah, I think it's I think
it's gonna plateau. I think we're I think we're gonna
walk into the weekend around this time tomorrow. We're gonna
be like, you know what, life's crazy, but we'll get
through it. We'll be okay, and it'll be okay, and
we'll go into the weekend. And you know, I don't
know if I share that. I think it's still gonna
(11:42):
be a lot more volatile than we want it to be.
But you know what, we're gonna be here to tell
you about it when it happens. That's what's gonna happen.
Five twenty eight, I'm gonna replent thish door number two.
We're gonna do three more doors of news today, and
we're gonna do that next. On news Radio eleven ten
KFA B and Ray's sonner, Richard, what are you seeing
out there?
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Harrison has a two car crash blocking the southbound lane,
northbound lane if you're heading east on Arn Harrison and
then there's another car blocking the Yeah, southbound lane for
traffic and then yell at each other. Soon that's off.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
I don't want to Yeah, no, it's good, it's good argument.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Oh yeah, it's intense news. Crocker.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I don't I don't know, Richard, I don't know. If
we'll do. But well, we'll keep that in mind. I
appreciate it, thanks, buddy. Yeah, yeah, so there you go.
Keep that in mind. Matt case door number one, two
or three for news items today.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Let's do number one.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Uh, door number one. The helicopter crash in New York City.
This is a sad, very sad story. A Bell two
O six helicopter, according to the FAA, crashed. It entered
the water upside down. There were six people on board.
They're saying a family of five, two adults, three children.
Just an absolute tragedy along with the pilot, and they
(13:03):
were all deceased upon rescue efforts. They are trying to
get more information, but said that this earlier this afternoon,
crashed on the Jersey City side of the Hudson River,
which is just across from Manhattan. I don't want to
speculate any further about what they were doing in the air,
but this seems like we according to the police and
(13:24):
according to the Mayor of New York, Eric Adams, essentially
what we learned was that these were people that were
visiting the New York area and were probably sight seeing
at the time that this occurred. We have no idea
why the helicopter took off the way that it did,
(13:44):
and there are videos circulating online of it kind of
flying erratically before the accident actually happened, So viewer discretion
advice obviously knowing what ends up happening, but it kind
of tells you there's got to be something else going
on with that, but certainly something worth keeping an eye
on over the next several days and weeks to try
to learn everything that happened here, because when this happened,
(14:06):
all we have are questions. All we have are questions.
All right, door number two or door number three, Matt case,
I have replinted all the doors. Oh we got a
new number two, got a new number two.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'll take a new number two, door number new number two.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
Okay, didn't ask for you to sing.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Yeah, nobody ever does, but I still do.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
All right, Well, good, good for you. Hopefully nobody got
chased off. There. Two American Airlines planes taxing at Reagan
National Airport in Alexandria, Virginia, Washington DC Metropolitan area clipped
wings while taxing. First of all, you might be saying,
what the heck? Or two planes doing that close to
each other? I don't know, but remember this is the
(14:47):
airport that we learned a lot about several weeks ago
when we had that tragic collision with an American Airlines
American Eagle flight that was coming down in the American
Alliance flight. I really didn't have anything that they could
do but a Blackhawk chopper that was being flown by
military members that had someat a pretty decent amount of experience.
(15:10):
We're doing a night flight exercise near the airport in
a very congested area along the Potomac River, and the
black Hawk collided with the plane and everyone perished in
that accident. Well, here we are just a couple of
months later, and it is now Reagan national again. You're
(15:30):
hearing about something, and there were politicians on board, which
certainly they're going to blame, you know, the government if
they're Democrats, are going to blame the Trump administration in
DOGE for allegedly firing people who are doing air traffic
control situations. But alas wing clipping on atarmac while taxiing
probably not a good thing. Reagan Nationalist sounds like it's
(15:52):
a mess. I've flown out of there before. I didn't
fly into it, but I flew out of there once.
I didn't know. I had no idea, no idea.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Man.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I like Washington. I like Washington DC a lot. It's
certainly the easiest way to get into Washington, d C.
From here is to fly into Reagan National. But my
head scratching just a bit about how safe that airport
is at operating right now. So I don't know, they've
got to do something, they got to do something else,
(16:20):
And I don't know what the story is on that.
But do you, I mean, can we just explain that it?
Just have you ever seen two planes moving close enough
to each other to clip winks? And what that has
felt like if you're on the plane, and what it
would have happened, like, like if you're watching it and
then you see the wings actually touch while you're taxing,
you're just like, whoa.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
You probably would have seen it coming. You're like, hey,
what what?
Speaker 4 (16:42):
What? What?
Speaker 3 (16:43):
What? Dank? You know?
Speaker 2 (16:44):
You ever you're ever a passenger and somebody who's a
little bit of an erratic driver and you're just watching
them back up, They're like, No, I was in Spain
and I was returning the rental car in Barcelona that
we used to drive tandor and back and I didn't
know where to put this thing. There's no good place
to part these things like when you rent the car
and you come back and you're just like, I don't
know where to put this, and I don't want to
(17:04):
park in the middle of this street. Apparently I was
supposed to park like just outside the office. I tried
to back it in and I almost ran into the building,
and the guy from down the way doesn't speak English,
but he was yelling at me. He's like, no, no, no,
And my wife was like, don't no. He's telling me that.
Speaker 3 (17:27):
I could.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
That's probably what have been happening. Uh, for the people
that were in that flight with their windows down, looking
out the window and like wait a second, hard wing
got clipped. Oh no, but they were taxiing though, I mean,
nobody has heard it place to have a clipped wing. No, no,
it was. It wasn't that big of a deal. But
it's still one of those things that she shouldn't be happening, right,
It shouldn't happen.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
This is why we have ants. That's what I say.
When things that happened that shouldn't happen, I say, this
is why we have ants.
Speaker 2 (17:54):
That makes no sense. In this context, absolutely none.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
You're right doesn't always work.
