Dylan Ducks Out / More Minn. Fallout

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oregon is in town tonight for a basketball game against
the Big Red.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Dylan Roola gonna be at the game. Yeah, He'll be
there in green and gold, trying to get clicks. So
he's like he has every other time he goes to
an ob Aska basketball game.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
He has.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Boy, we have turned on Dylan Riola. He's committed to
the Ducks. He posted a bunch of pictures on his Instagram.
He has traded for the Adda, the Adidas for the Swoosh,
and he's holding a rubber duck.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Isn't that great? Hey?

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I hope he finds what he's looking for. Nebraska goes
to Eugene this season to play Oregon. Oregon comes to
Lincoln next year. Now they're here tonight, Oregon's playing tonight,
talking of oh football, yeah, football, Yeah, yeah, So that's
that's gonna be fun. What if we go up to

(00:52):
Eugene this coming fall to play Oregon and Roola is
not playing, which is a distinct possibility. Certainly, you he's
gonna go make a bunch of money. I presume to
be a backup quarterback. He's not gonna make that much,
Not as a backup. He's in line to be the
quarterback in Oregon. If Dante Moore leaves, he may red

(01:13):
shirt next year. If Moore stays, in which case he'll
sort of delay the gratification of the money. But he's
got plenty of Nebraska money to tide him over until
the Nike.

Speaker 3 (01:22):
Checks start cashing.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
But this is he's either he believes Dante more, either
his intel or the family Ryola Intel has Dante Moore
leaving for the NFL Draft, which would put Dylan in
position to actually be a candidate to start this year
for Oregon, or he's going to wait a year. He's
gonna red shirt a year, try to improve his physical

(01:45):
capacity a little bit, a little more maturity, and then
in twenty twenty seven he's the man for a year
and then off to the NFL. He goes well. But
I've been talking to some former players that are around
the Nebraska program.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
Put it to you this way.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
There is not going to be a whole lot of
tears shed when he leaves the building. There was a
lot of pomposity, there was a lot of me first,
when he led Bud Crawford out onto the field, that
turned off a lot of guys. So I mean bottom line,
it's probably good for both Nebraska.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
And Dylan Ryola that he's not here anymore.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
I repeat what I said weeks ago, and that is
broke his leg against USC and wanted to get back
in that game with the broken leg. Kids got a
lot of heart. I liked what he and Emma Johnson
did going around to prep basketball games, high fiving kids,
taking selfies. I thought he did a good job of
ingratiating himself with Husker Nation while he was here. Sorry,

(02:43):
he didn't find what he was looking for while.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
He was here.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
I hope we go up there and absolutely smack the
crap out of him in Eugene that's coming fall and
make him sorry he ever left. But I hope he
finds what he's looking for. I don't know if he's
going to have the he's gonna go to the basketball
game tonight. I like, and That's where I'm turning my
attention this basketball team to go to Indiana, have our

(03:10):
one of our better players, if not best player rank
mass have maybe the worst game of his college career.

Speaker 3 (03:15):
I don't know. He looked pretty good at crunch time.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
At crunch time, yeah, the rest of the game is
he was awful, and we still found a way to win.
This Nebraska basketball team doesn't rely on one or even
two guys to get it done, and if one of
them has an off night, we lose. They just find
a way to rally around and get it done. And
they're gonna have a tough test again tonight at Oregon.

(03:37):
But my gosh, how do you count these guys off
out right now? Polls are out for college basketball whereas
number eight for their all time hill take. They're up
two spots, I know, but in the top ten. But
they're up to number eight. That's as high as Nebraska
has ever been in a poll. That happened in one time,

(03:59):
back in February nineteen sixty six. So this is rarefied
air and if they can keep doing it. Look, Oregon
is not the same. They have had injury problems. They
returned two All Big Ten performers from last year, but
they just have not been able to put it together.
They're eight and eight overall. Coach Aldman, I don't know
how much longer he wants to go. It's not his

(04:22):
college basketball anymore. The NIL era, the me first era,
is not a comportment for Dana Altman's DNA, and you know,
he's probably I don't know what his motivation is now,
but those close to Dana will tell you that this
is a struggle. He's a John Cook style coach. He's
a my Way or the Highway guy. He's a you

(04:44):
come to Oregon, You're going to play a style of
offense and a style of defense that I believe gets
this to the Final four, which did happen in twenty seventeen.
But the truth is this this player transfer portal thing,
this you know, come and go kind of thing. This
I play for the back of the jersey first kind
of thing, which is the way it is in college
sports now. Uh, it's not good for Dana and I

(05:08):
candidly i'd be surprised if he's around next year. If
you're new to the area, Dana Altman used to coach
for a long time to Creighton before leaving for Eugene.
By way of Fayetteville, you're gonna look.

Speaker 3 (05:18):
That that.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
He's from Wilburn, Nebraska, and Uh, he's just a really,
really fantastic coach. I think he's a Hall of Fame
style coach level coach. I just think he's really fantastic
for college basketball. And he's a great success story. What
he did at Creighton was awesome. What he's done at
Oregon is great. Uh. But uh, this new era purges

(05:42):
guys that are not the backslap and fraternity president. He
was never president of the fraternity. He was the head coach.
He was the man, and the man is to be feared. Well,
not anymore. President is heading to Detroit Willingly and News
Radio eleven ten KFVB. White House Core correspondent John Decker,
traveling with the President today, joins us now on Nebraska's

(06:04):
Morning News.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
John, Good morning. What's the President doing in the Motor City.

Speaker 4 (06:09):
Well, he has two events in the Motor City. The
first is visiting a Ford plant, the plant in Dearborn
that manufacturers the Ford F one point fifty, the most
popular pickup in America. And then the President will deliver
a speech and economic speech at the Detroit Economic Club
to tout his economic policies the successes that he says

(06:30):
he's had in this first year back in the White House.
So this is the President's second trip to Michigan of
his second term. He last traveled to Michigan in April.
I just by chance happened to be on that trip
as well. But as you know, Michigan is a battleground state,
a very important and it will be important in terms
of the midterm elections as well.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Yeah, between gas prices coming down, the work to try
and get the world's oil companies, especially domestically here, involved
with what's going on in Venezuela, getting the automobile industry
involved working on these small kind of nuclear reactors for energy.
You know, the President gets all the headlines for what's
going on with ice sorb Ukraine or something like that.

Speaker 3 (07:15):
He's very, very.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
Busy when it comes to domestic energy policy, isn't he.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
Oh?

Speaker 4 (07:21):
Absolutely, You know you can walk in chew gum. At
the same time you mentioned all those other issues the
president is dealing with. Well, today's an issue in which
the President will focus, indeed on his domestic policies, his
tariff policies. You imagine that the President will mention his
tariff policies quite a bit today. He will argue that

(07:41):
those tariff policies have brought auto manufacturing back to America.
A number of foreign auto manufacturers have announced plans to
move their manufacturing to the US since the President took office,
so the President will certainly talk about that as well.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Certainly, the headlines I mentioned though, especially with what's going
on between protests in Minneapolis, Portland, other places around the country,
the attention paid to Iran, what just happened with Venezuela,
and the polls continually come out and say, oh, President
Trump is his support is eroding across the country. You've

(08:17):
been following this president, have you seen a change in
his demeanor at all over the last several weeks.

Speaker 4 (08:24):
No, no change in his demeanor, you know. I think,
if anything, the President has been emboldened by the action
that the US took in Venezuela a little over a
week ago. That accounts for the President threatening Iran with
military action, even sending a message to other countries in
Latin and South America like Columbia and Cuba as well.

(08:46):
So no, I don't think so. I think that. That
being said, there are some other issues in which you
see Republicans essentially breaking ranks on one particular issue right now,
and that's today. You see them speaking out publicly regarding
this investigation launched by the Department of Justice against SED
Chairman Jerome Powell. You even see John Stoo who's the

(09:08):
leader for Republicans in the Senate, essentially criticizing this probe
launch by the DOJ. That's the one issue in which
you see a little bit of division in the Republican
Party right now.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
Yeah, but it's being framed as the DOJ and the
Trump administration is going after FED Chair Jerome Powell because
they don't like what he's done with the interest rates.
But it has to do with the renovation of the
Federal Reserve building, which is spiraled way out of control.
You could build a space program for what they're doing
for renovations of that building, right well, you.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Could, you know. But let's face it, there are cost
over runs literally at every construction project in America. There
are cost over runs already with the new ballroom at
the White House. Is that criminal? I don't know. I mean,
I don't know what it is that they're looking into.
It seems to me that may be a step too far,
you know, a criminal investigation in the cost overruns, you know,

(10:03):
unless Jerome Powell is lining his pockets, which I doubt
very much. I doubt very much, there's anything criminal in
terms of the cost overruns that we're seeing. It to say,
but let's let that investigation play itself out. Let's see
what happens.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
Yeah, that's exactly right, John, great insight as always, safe travels.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
To day to Michigan.

Speaker 4 (10:21):
Thank you, thank you so much.

Speaker 1 (10:22):
It is John Decker here on Nebraska's Morning News. Scott
atkfab dot com Zonker's custom woods inbox. Have two emails
here on Ice that sound pretty similar to one another,
but one based on the emails that have come in
historically here to the inbox from these two emailers. One

(10:44):
is very far to the left, unabashedly so. Other one
is generally and I had to double check this by
checking Bee's previous emails just to make sure I wasn't
being hoodwinked. That's right, hoodwinked here. But B is a
a pretty conservative person. That's the initial B. I don't

(11:05):
know if B is a boy B or a girl.
Be Richard though is presumably a boy Richard, and we'll
start with his email. He is very liberal, he says.
Here's what actually bothers me. Strip away the politics, remove
the opinions, all the tribal bs, and what you're left
with is simple and ugliest civilian protester was killed by gunfire.

(11:29):
The trigger was pulled by a federal law enforcement officer
in the line of duty. That alone should trigger a
very boring, very predictable response from any institution that claims legitimacy,
administrative leave, independent outside investigation. As sterile lawyer prooted, no
comment at this time. That's how adults handle this, That's
how real authority maintains trust. But that's not what's happening. Instead,

(11:52):
we're watching them circle the wagons and keep moving like
nothing happen. Only three groups operate like that, one eat gangs,
two mercenaries, and three combat units in hostile territory. He says,
as messed up as it sounds. The idea that an
American could protest authority without getting shot in the face

(12:16):
is kind of a core feature of this whole experiment.
He says, that's not radical, that's baseline America. So am
I wrong? Yes, you are wrong, because there is an
investigation into what happened here. And when you phrase it
Richard as quote, the idea that an American could protest

(12:37):
authority without getting shot in the face, that's not what happened.
You absolutely know that's not what happened. At no point
was like, Hey, I don't like your sign. Bang shoot
that lady in the face. She was shot because she
was using her vehicle as a weapon. Now, that's from

(13:00):
a very liberal emailer to the program. B in Lincoln
is on the other side of that political spectrum, and
he says, as a veteran and citizen who leans conservative
on many issues, I'm very disturbed about ICE raids going on.
ICE is clearly in jack boots slash brown shirt territory. Now,

(13:24):
ICE has only been around about twenty five years. No, no,
it's been longer than that. But somehow, this nation somehow
existed without them. The next administration will eliminate ICE and should.
Even conservatives are reaching the point where they can no
longer defend the actions of ICE. Nobody respects ICE agents,
not the citizens, not other law enforcement, not the military,

(13:45):
not veterans. The sooner they're disbanded, the better. And one
more thing, having ICE on the resume is not going
to impress any future employers.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
Right.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
That is from an historically conservative emailer to this pro.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
I think that that's unfortunate because I think that person's
getting loaded up with about a lot of bad information.
For example, I made the mistake of the landing on
NPR yesterday, and NPR had people on there that just
simply did not know what they were talking about, and
yet they didn't correct it, they didn't challenge it, they
just let it go out there. And there is a

(14:21):
lot of other media out there that is perpetuating misinformation.
The mayor of Minneapolis is allowed to say without challenge
that the ICE agent wasn't even hit by the car,
fully ignoring the cell phone video that proved that it's true.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
I mean, that's not.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
In dispute, and the bodycam footage is bodycam footage is
pretty hard to miss. So what we have is still
a lot of people out there who hate Donald Trump
enough to impugne the reputation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
And they're not there on vacation. They're there because they're
trying to enforce the law. They're there because.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
We have at least six hundred bad guys in the
city of Minneapolis who have been allowed to roam the
streets by the mayor, by the governor, by law enforcement,
by the system in Minneapolis. These people are rapists, these
people are criminals, These people abuse children, and Immigration and

(15:22):
Customs enforcement is there to get them to arrest them
and deport them. According to federal statute, we have a
state of that is not in dispute except to people
who hate Donald Trump. Iowa State representative from Davenport, Can
Croken is his name, says he is just sure that

(15:43):
Trump is going to target the Quad Cities next with
the big ICE operation in that community, so he's taken
it upon himself. He is a Democrat to introduce two
bills that he says will ensure the safety of the
people and the Quad Cities should ICE show up. Wants
to ban law enforcement from wearing masks and ban the

(16:03):
apprehension and detention of people in courthouses, schools, and churches.
I'm not sure how that helps the safety of the
people who go to courthouses, schools, and churches. If you've
told the bad guys, hey hold up in one of
these places and that's home base, no one can touch you.
By the way, he knows this, but he threw it

(16:25):
in there.

Speaker 3 (16:25):
Anyway.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
ICE does not do operations in schools. I'm not familiar
with them doing any operations and churches now. They said
if they need to go in there to get a
really bad guy, and this is their only option. They'll
do it, but they're not going classroom to classroom pulling
kids out of class. By the way, my son would
love that, but this is not happening, and he knows that.

(16:47):
He just thrown it in there just to make people
think that's what's happening. We have a group of protesters
that got up in the face of a police officer
in Portland, not in immigration customs horsefer, just a Portland
police officer, and they're filming him and they're peppering him
with questions. One person, one woman in the video says,

(17:10):
in dropping the name of the person who was shot
by ice in Minneapolis, says, would you shoot her too?
The officer says, if she drove a car at me? Yes,
Sometimes criminals get shot, and of course the protesters, the
angry mob is growing and they're in sense like what

(17:31):
do you how dare you say? Yeah, criminals get shot
when they're breaking the law and endangering officers. He says,
if she would have driven a car at me, And
then people are yelling, going, are you speaking for the
city's police bureau? And that's what's got him in trouble.
He's he's there on the job he's not authorized to

(17:52):
speak on behalf of the police department. But this police
department in Portland is not supporting him. When he told
people something that apparently they didn't want to hear. If
you drive a car at a cop, a member of
law enforcement ies er, otherwise you run the risk of
getting shot.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
He pointed that out. They didn't like it.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
They go running over to the mayor and the police
chief there and go, do.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
You know what this officer said, how dear?

Speaker 1 (18:23):
And they said, oh my gosh. The mayor of Portland
says the death of this woman in Minneapolis was tragic
and preventable. Yes, yes, it was preventable. I don't think
I see it the same way as Mayor Wilson of Portland.
But he says it was an example of federal overreach.

(18:43):
And he said that the residents of Portland need to
know their local leaders and law enforcement are on their side.
And so that police officer who pointed out, yes, if
someone drives a car at me, I will shoot them
has been reassigned after this video has surfaced in the
community of Portland. Jim Well video is kind of hard

(19:05):
to miss. I suppose it's sort of like artwork.

Speaker 3 (19:08):
Anymore.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
You may look at the Mona Lisa and see what's
the big deal, And the next guy says, oh, my god,
that's the greatest artwork in the history of the human condition.
Video Minneapolis, notwithstanding he just said, yeah, if you drive
a car at me, I might shoot you.

Speaker 3 (19:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
I mean, it's just to me really hard to process
where we are in this entire argument about law enforcement
and about complying with law, not only legal authorities and
law enforcement officials, but complying with basic human intelligence. If

(19:47):
a police officer asks you to move, you don't sit
there and argue with a guy, pull out your phone
and say who's your supervisor? You get out of the way, right. Well,
apparently not anymore. And now we're finding out that the
wife of the gallon Minnesota, she's the one that told
her to drive. Yeah, okay, I was in the video

(20:08):
many of them, which was ignored significantly for a while.
And now wait a minute, they're trying to figure out
what the motivation of miss Good was, you know, the victim,
and they're saying, well, wasn't the police officer that told
her to drive? It was a wife. What difference does
it make? The ice the ice officer was sitting was

(20:30):
standing right there. She'd been told multiple times to please
vacate your vehicle, chose not to comply, and now we
have this. Yeah, you've got a cop there at the
handle of the driver's side door. She's rolling her window up.
He's saying, all right, get out of the car. You
have an officer in front of the vehicle, and then.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
You please get out of the car.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
And you got the wife who's circling the vehicle in
the street filming the officers mocking them as the renee
as they're driving the vehicle or stationed at the driver's
seat mocking the vehicle the ice officers, I should say.
And that's when the wife is trying to get in
the car and she's yelling at the driver drive drive,

(21:08):
you know, because they're trying to then get her out
of the vehicle. Give her a ticket for obstructing the
passage of people in that residential neighborhood and that includes
ice and that substruction of law enforcement. So she's saying,
all right, you're about to get arrested. Drive, and this
woman takes off while her wife is still outside the
vehicle filming and mocking id drive and leave her behind.

(21:33):
That's that'd be tough to explain at dinner that night,
and I wish that they would have had a chance
to discuss it that night. I'm sorry this woman got killed,
but the message should be here's how you don't get
killed in this situation by not doing everything she did
leading up to this point. Here's that story from Texas

(21:55):
related to Minneapolis. It's a valet worker at a Hilton
hotel and says she lost her job and how dare
they fire her?

Speaker 3 (22:04):
What did she do? Well?

Speaker 1 (22:05):
She goes on her social media and she warns people, Hey,
just letting you know Immigration agents ICE are staying here
at the hotel, you know, just in case you want
to do anything about that. All right, reporting on the
whereabouts of law enforcement when you're trying to whip people
into a frenzy, and what we're going to protest that

(22:28):
they're sleeping here. We're not going to let them sleep.
We're going to be banging on the doors, or worse,
they've already taken shots at ICE agents in Dallas. So
she filmed this video showing these vehicles she said belong
to Immigration Customs Enforcement. She goes, I don't really care
if I lose my job. I care more about your
families and about unity. What did you think we're going

(22:53):
to happen to your families? You checked into the hotel
and they're like, hey, you look like you have at
least a decent town, a decent ten. You're probably in
this country illegally getting the bus, not how it works.
So Hilton, the ownership group of that particular hotels, that
the employee violated our business conduct policy and is no

(23:14):
longer employed by our company. And it's got people now
calling for a boycott of the hotel for firing this
person who just wanted to let people know that there
were dangerous people staying there. Ice agents. Money is pouring

(23:34):
in on two different gofund me accounts, one for the
family of the woman who was shot. The other one
is for the officer who fired the shots, the guy
who allegedly shot and killed that's how a phrase here
on the GoFundMe account. I don't know that there's a
lot of well, they have not publicly named the officer.

(23:56):
A lot of people online have even people here in
Omaha post on their social medi hey just letting you know,
here's the face of that officer who shot that.

Speaker 3 (24:03):
Woman for what to do?

Speaker 1 (24:04):
What I'm gonna look for him and then I'm gonnay,
I'm gonna do what Anyway, These people have jobs, there
are people, There are people raising money for that officer
as well, and of course they're trying to figure out
who's donating money for this. One of them is a
billionaire investor, Bill Ackman, who gave ten thousand dollars, which

(24:27):
is a small portion of the over six hundred thousand
dollars that has been raised thus far for the officer
to help with legal fees and whatever else might How
about the one point five million that the gofund me
page is generated on behalf of Renee Good. People can
donate to whatever they want. I know, I believe that
that woman's actions led to her losing her life, which

(24:49):
is sad and preventable, and it needs to be pointed out.
You can't act like that if you don't want to
get shot. But if people choose to donate to that, fine.
I'm not gonna go out there and try like who've donated.
But people are donating to the officer, and that people
are trying to figure out who they are so they
can what protest them downgrade their businesses. No, shame them

(25:15):
on social media, damage their reputations. Go on social media
and say this guy who donated to the officers go
Funbee Page owns a men's clothing store, and Nicolette mal
So protest and ensure that nobody shops there. Uh, find
a way to damage their reputation such that their lives

(25:36):
are more miserable. Meanwhile, we're not going to care about
who donated to the Renee Good Fund. All right, boycott sir.
Boycotts are much more powerful now. I don't know who
I'm gonna sue NCAA those who rank college basketball. Nebraska
is undefeated and we're ranked four spots behind Michigan. Michigan

(25:58):
just lost by three to Wasskinson. We beat Wisconsin by thirty,
and we're ranked eighth in Michigan has ranked fourth. I'm
gonna sue now. JD emails via the Zonker's custom was inbox.
Calm down over there Scott at kfab dot com and says,
I don't follow basketball at all, but I was reading
a little bit and apparently our strength of schedule is

(26:19):
not very good compared to other teams in the top ten. No,
that's not true, we got five quad one wins wins,
which is great. The only team that has more Quad
one wins is Duke. They've got six, but they also
have a loss this season, so no one's strength of
schedules better than ours. Well, it's been a great season,

(26:39):
and if this continues, you're looking at a very high
seating for the NCAA Tournament and you're looking at the
kind of rarefied air we've never seen basketball around here. Yeah,
so everybody just enjoy this ride. Don't worry about pole
rankings because it's all about the tournament. Just enjoy every
minute of this. And I've secured tickets to the Iowa game,

(27:01):
the last home game, and that means I could be
there with thirteen thousand of my closest friends for what
could be the first conference championship in the regular season
in one hundred and nine years. One at a time,
we got to get by Dana Altman in Oregon. Tonight
to be tough, and that's going to be tough. Every
single game is tough. But what I love about this

(27:24):
Cornescer team, as I said earlier, is it's not just
relying on one maybe two guys. It's you can have
someone like Mast have an off night or an off
afternoon against Indiana, and you got other guys that step up.
It just whether it's Frager or Buketon, jail Heiberg. But
you can't argue that JaMarcus Lawrence and Pryce Sandford might

(27:44):
be two of the more impactful transfers from last year. Yeah,
Laurence in particular, not only did he beat Illinois with
that last second shot, but he was dynamite against Indiana.
And then rat Mast coming back after the injury, and
Fred was talking about that quietly in the offseason. He goes,
I'm promising you, this is a big man we haven't
seen much of in this program, and we need the

(28:06):
guy not only his experience. He's twenty four years old,
but he has NBA skills and he doesn't have the
world's greatest conditioning, but he's amazingly offensive for a big man.
He can face the basket from quite a ways out
and that changes your dynamic. For example, Ryan Kalkbrenner was

(28:29):
maybe the best rim defender in college basketball for three years,
but he was not the offensive threat the ring masket.
It that mask isn't the defensive player the Kalkbrenner was,
but you see what that does to the other team.
And this is the other thing. And I pointed this
up on Twitter during the Indiana game, and I'm glad
that Fred addressed it yesterday. This team is more opportunistic

(28:51):
offensively than a lot of college basketball teams. And in
this way, a lot of people get the ball down
the floor and they take five, seven to eight nine
seconds off the shot clock, setting up against the other
team's base defense. Nebraska attacks the other team offensively in
the first seven seconds of the shot clock. You know,

(29:11):
they run down the floor. They don't necessarily get a
three or a transition basket, but before the other team
can get into its base defense, Nebraska has a look.
And the look is either a shot in the paint
for mass or a three pointer on the perimeter for
Sandford to Lawrence or Freaker.

Speaker 3 (29:28):
So this is masked, yeah, or masked.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Even so, this is a very very opportunistic basketball team offensively,
and nobody does that.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
Now.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
Creighton has tried to do that, but people have defended
Creighton and Nebraska will see an adjustment to this the
rest of the year by the good teams in the
Big Ten. But for a long time. That's what Creighton did.
They were very opportunistic on offense. It wasn't the running
Rebels of UNLV in the late nineteen eighties, but it
was opportunism, which is because most teams are pretty good

(29:59):
in their base defense, but it takes him a while
to get it set up on each possession. God blessed
Bo Kimball. No, sorry, Royola Marymount, Bo Kimball hang gathers.
That would have been from the Loyola Marymount team.

Speaker 3 (30:11):
That was loyal. Who am I thinking of you? And Larry?
That's right. That was the Vegas team, the runner Rebels
Vegas team.

Speaker 1 (30:19):
Meanwhile, with the football thing, the Zonker's custom was in
box has featured a lot of very bitter Husker fans.
Dennis about Dylan Royola leaving for Oregon. By the way,
I don't think he's gonna be Roola is going to
be at the Nebraska Oregon basketball game tonight in Lincoln,
Dennis says, and us better off. There's not enough mustard

(30:40):
in the world to cover that hot dog. And Michael says,
he says, well, this is Nebraska's fault for Let's see,
how did he phrase this? We willingly got into bed
with a prima donna and his white try white trash family.

(31:00):
Check the racism if we can got a well, hey,
racism is fine against white people.

Speaker 3 (31:06):
I checked the toadboard. They said it's fine.

Speaker 1 (31:08):
Look, he didn't nobody. He didn't steal any of that stuff.
Somebody gave it to him.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
Okay. Somebody gave him a driver, Okay.

Speaker 1 (31:16):
Somebody gave him Louis Vatan's sunglasses and Louis Vaton bags.
Somebody gave him a luxury apartment. Somebody gave him a
private jet. Somebody gave him millions of dollars. We created
this issue because we thought we needed something to kickstart
the program. I would have told you when Matt rule
took over, Nebraska doesn't need to kickstart anything. The fans

(31:39):
are there, the interest is there. Just start winning, play
good football on the field, get guys on the field
that want to be here, and trust me, you're not
going to have any trouble with attendance or media attention
or social media activity. But they thought, well, wait a minute,
this is a moribund program. It's it's hibernating because it's
been so long since been relevant. We got to get

(32:01):
a five star recruiting here. I would tell you that
was nice. It was a nice It was a sugar
high when he signed. But now, okay, go win football games.
Go play like you practiced. And that hasn't happened here.
It's been disappointing, and we've spent a lot of money
on free agents. Two things nineteen and nineteen. Royola family

(32:21):
is royalty at Nebraska football. There's a little tarnish on
the crown now, but you're right what dad and uncle
were part of here. Uncle Donnie went to Wisconsin, all right,
Well that what his dad was domb dominant Again. He's
on the centers we've ever had, but is one of
the best ones as a guy who came back and

(32:41):
coached here. You know, I think that family is Nebraska royalty.
Plus as far as these things like he's a prima donna,
he's a hot dog. You want your quarterback to be cocky.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
You want your.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
Quarterback to have that confidence in himself to be able
to deal with all right, I gotta be the guy
to lead the team down the feet. I got to
make this throw. If it goes great, great. If it doesn't,
I have to be able to shake it off. And
move forward. You don't do that without a healthy dose
of ego. You want your quarterback to be cocky, confident.

(33:14):
I think there's some truth to that. I don't think
it's universally so. I think you have to be respected,
you have to earn respect. You got to make the
first down, You've got to deliver victories and nineteen and nineteen.
That's the Matt rule. Three years here, and that is
not what we paid for. But you know, we're stuck.

(33:35):
He may not be the guy, but he's our guy,
and he ain't gone anywhere with a seventy one million
dollar buyout. So let's hope that this transfer portal class
can deliver some wins seven and six against the easiest
schedule in decades. I just temper expectations and enjoy the
basketball season. Enjoy the basketball season. Game tonight, I have
another sports story for you. Jim didn't get to this

(33:58):
yesterday or today. I will take it upon myself to
point out the story here of twenty one year old
Egyptian tennis player Hajar Abd guitar or that might not
be how you pronounce this person's name, but did you
see any of the video this went crazy over social media.

(34:21):
This was a tennis match, some tournament and she was
playing someone from Germany. Now, this Egyptian tennis player had
said I want to play in this tournament and kept
asking for a wild card spot, kept getting turned down,
but then a player dropped out the last minute, so
they said, hey, you wanted to play Europe and they

(34:44):
admit now they did not do proper vetting on her skills.
She looked like maybe someone who just started playing tennis.

Speaker 3 (34:55):
That day.

Speaker 1 (34:58):
Lost to her German at six to oh and six
to oh in the International Tennis Federation match, but how
she did so was remarkable. She double folded on twenty
of twenty four service points. She did manage to win
three points only because one of those the German player
double faulted twice and then mishit a routine forehand when

(35:22):
returning one of the rare serves that actually landed in
bounds on the other side of the net. This person
looked like she'd never played tennis before. How she got
in there, no one knows, but video of that is
going around she and you know who's happy about that?
As that breakdancer from the Olympics a couple of years ago.

(35:43):
I finally someone else to laugh at from a sports
perspective on social media.

Speaker 3 (35:49):
He was Radio eleven ten kfab.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
My theme song since I started going gray with a
Touch of Gray and about the twenty this is an
increasingly longer time ago. I am Scott Voor, He's here,
Craig Evans, he's here, Steve Parker, and for Lucy Chapman,
Jim Rose as well. Jim, give me all of your
thoughts on the Grateful Dead. I was never a big fan,

(36:17):
either was I, but this song it's one of my
favorite songs by any artists ever.

Speaker 3 (36:22):
I love this song, and.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
As far as I'm concerned, four and a half minutes
is not long enough.

Speaker 3 (36:27):
I could listen to this all day.

Speaker 1 (36:29):
Touch of Gray by Grateful Dead, which is part of
the band's very unique history, mentioning this because one of
their co founders, which is I believe the last of
the original original original members.

Speaker 3 (36:48):
Let's see, is that true?

Speaker 1 (36:50):
No, We've got the drummer is still alive. I don't
know if he still plays with him though, anyway. Bob
Weir guitarist singer who he and Jerry Garcia founded The
Grateful Dead originally the Warlocks in nineteen sixty five in
San Francisco. He was seventeen years old when he started
that band. I wonder if he had any idea how

(37:10):
long they were gonna go, how far he was gonna
take it. He has passed away at the age of
seventy eight. With The Grateful Dead as a very interesting band.
One Top forty hit that One Touch of Gray nineteen
eighty seven, big MTV hit as well. Video is kind
of fun, featuring them switching between live versions of themselves

(37:33):
and skeletons, performing and playing instruments. But whereas The Grateful
Dead has only had one Top forty single in their
entire history, they hold the record for most Top forty
albums on the Billboard two hundred chart with sixty six.
That's eclipsing Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra, who each only

(37:55):
had fifty eight. So most of those albums are live albums.
When when you only have so much material from your
original albums, they're like, hey, we got another live album.
It's like, hey, it's the same songs, just in a
different order.

Speaker 3 (38:09):
Yes, it's here and there. People.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
They may be the most dedicated fan base of any
band in history. I don't think any band has seen
more people travel with them. Uh, everybody's got fans everywhere,
but to have so many actually get in the car
and follow them around. If there's a band that had
a bigger collection of them than the Grateful Dead, I

(38:35):
don't know who it is. There's there's three jam bands
where you get very dedicated people who just follow them
every single night, and those would be Grateful Dead, Fish
Fish or kind of the p h I s H
is the kind of the Grateful Dead acolytes. And then
for the last thirty years it's been Dave Matthews Band

(38:56):
and DMB does a great job of switching up the
set list, playing a lot of very deep album cuts
and so forth. Whereas someone like Elton John has been
touring extensively for the better part of the last year
fifty plus years. You go see an Elton John show,
more often than not, you're gonna see kind of the
same collection of hits. It's pretty rare when he's like, hey,

(39:21):
here's one we haven't played in several decades. I think
he'd like to do more of that. But people want
to hear crocodile rock, So here's crocodile rock. Whereas bands
like Dave Matthews band is like, here's one that only
hardcore fans know, and we're gonna make it seventeen minutes long.
And it's an experience to go to these shows. It's
our festivals, it's camping out. Yet it's how expensive is

(39:42):
a Dave Matthews band concert. I think one of the
reasons that somebody were able to travel the Grateful Dead
is they didn't charge much. I've been to one it,
but that was part of a farm made lineup, so
that's the only time I've seen Dave but haven't been
to an official Dave Matthews band concert. I don't think
it's overly expensive unless you show up really early to

(40:04):
get in the front rock get the poster. Oh yeah,
there's a poster every single night. I got a friend
who's a huge Day fan, and I hope he's not
listening right now, otherwise I'm gonna get fifty text messages
everything I've said wrong, including how much he's paid for
every ticket of the eighty billion Dave concerts he's been to.
But Grateful Dead is right there as well. People I

(40:24):
just dedicated. They dedicate their lives to going around bumming
money sharing joints and go into all these concerts. Friend
of mine and their daughter was. I don't know that
she does anymore, but a friend of mine their daughter
met her current boyfriend at a sort of ongoing followed

(40:44):
the dead tour of communities, and they're still together. But
she did that for a long time. She was just
so into the music. She said, I'm going to travel
around with them and whatever people like to do. Some
people will make fun of your goal off addiction, for example, how.

Speaker 3 (41:01):
Can you do that?

Speaker 1 (41:02):
Well exactly. I don't judge what other people do for fun.
I hope it makes you happy, it doesn't hurt anybody else.

Speaker 3 (41:08):
Then you're good. Yeah, that's fine, all right. What kind
of music do you like anyway? Do I like?

Speaker 1 (41:13):
I like adult standards myself, that's my favorite genre. For example, Sinatra,
Tony Bennett, Rosemary Klooney, Doro's Day.

Speaker 3 (41:22):
Where do you cut off? Like?

Speaker 1 (41:23):
Who's doing the standard? You have a Michael Harry Connick Jr.
Was kind of the next Sinatra. You know, I think
they're okay. I don't think there is original and I
like the old Count Basie band for example, the orchestra
that performed behind Sinatra. I really like that music Nat
King Cole Baby, Yeah, guys like that, And I love

(41:44):
that partly because, you know, I think the lyrics were
very original, the voice was unaltered, and I just kind
of found that to be more authentic music today.

Speaker 3 (41:56):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (41:57):
You know, when you look at somebody like Billie Eilish,
who's a little a little bit I think a throwback
to some of the great voices of the nineteen sixties
and seventies. Wait, some people do they think that they
make that comparison. I can't make that comparison. I don't
think you're saying the right name of the artist. Well,
others have Ellie Eilish more talks than the Saints. Well,
but as a voice, pure voice and her genre again,

(42:20):
I mean, this is what I've been told Lady Gaga,
who has done albums and concerts with Tony Bennett original
most recently she has she's sort of converted into that.
But I also, I'm a country fan. I enjoy listening
to great country. I'm not I don't consider today's country
to be pure country. It's more rock country and rap
anymore rap, which I don't like. But if you go

(42:41):
back to some of the great artists of the seventies
and eighties and nineties. You know, whether it's Randy Travis
or all On Jackson or King George, you know Brooks
and Dunns.

Speaker 3 (42:50):
Yes, those guys.

Speaker 1 (42:51):
They sang a country music that I didn't like, the
old country in Western, the Conway Twitty and the Hank
Williams Senior and the past. I didn't like that stuff.
But as you moved into the eighties and nineties, I
found that to be great stuff. I loved listening to that,
just a little glimpse into the what's left of the
soul of Jim Rose. To answer your question about how

(43:15):
much does it cost to see a Dave Matthews band concert,
Kathy is in my buddy, I'd said, I hope my friend,
who's a huge Dave Matthews band follower, is not listening,
otherwise I'm gonna get a million text messages. I did
get a text says, oh I'm listening, Okay, please issue restraint.
But Kathy emails via the Zonker's custom was inbox. Scott

(43:35):
at kfab dot com says thirty bucks for the lawn,
one hundred to two hundred dollars for reserve premium packages
usually available. We've seen one hundred and seven shows. You're
in the vicinity of how many shows my friend has seen.
I'm sure he will let me know. Just talking about
some of these jam bands, Dave Matthews, Fish and then

(43:58):
Grateful Dead after co founder a Grateful Dead Bob Weird
passed away at the age of seventy eight. It's a
bigger news for some than others. But everyone knows who
they are, even if you don't have any of their
I even own one of their albums. I never well,
I've got two of their albums. I got the Touch

(44:18):
of Gray album I don't remember if that's called Touch
of Gray.

Speaker 3 (44:22):
That's on cassette somewhere. And then Terrapin Station. Do you
still have a cassette player somewhere? Yeah? I did.

Speaker 1 (44:29):
There's a there's a cassette player and a vintage record
player that I have. I got, and I got an
old radio that's got a cassette deck. I gave that
to my kids along with some of my cassettes and
go here you go. Kids have at it, and I
took away some of the oh they listened to. They
listened to a lot of Michael Jackson a weird awl
growing up because I raised my kids right, So, yeah,

(44:51):
we still got a cassette deck for a while there.
My daughter had when she started driving. She was driving
a two thousand and six vehicle that's still had a
cassette deck in it. Her friends were trying to put
their iPhones in there is this a charger? So they
didn't know what that was. What's a cassette said her friends?

Speaker 3 (45:10):
How does it work?

Speaker 1 (45:11):
And I'm Scott Vorhees here with Jim Rose on News
Radio eleven ten kfab welcoming back to the program. Frequent
contributor from our partner Fox News Radio, Tanya Jay Power,
is covering the Supreme Court arguments this morning. This has
to do with the transgender sports issue and bans in
several states across the country, including Nebraska, but this Supreme

(45:33):
Court decision isn't specifically tied to Nebraska. Tanya, what can
you tell us about what the court is hearing this morning.

Speaker 2 (45:42):
Yeah, these are oral arguments in the appeals from Idaho
and West Virginia. Now a little backstory on this. Idaho
became the first state in the US in twenty twenty
to pass the law that banned participation by transgender and
non binary athletes in female only public school sports teams.
A year later, West Virginia passed the same kind of law.

(46:04):
Lower courts drug down these two laws. They've blocked them
from taking effects, and now the states have appealed to
the Supreme Court. Basically, the lower courts had said separately
that the bands discriminate on the basis of sex and
violate the Constitution's equal protection clause and the Title nine

(46:24):
civil rights laws. That is what the court is now
weighing whether the Title nine federal law that forbid sex
discrimination applies in these cases. There are two separate ones,
but they deal with the same thing.

Speaker 1 (46:36):
And obviously the other side says there's an unfair advantage
to have those born.

Speaker 3 (46:41):
And they will argue still male.

Speaker 1 (46:45):
I'm trying to remove some of the opinion out of
the comments here, but they'll argue that this is an
unfair advantage, right.

Speaker 2 (46:54):
I mean, the argument here is that there's you know,
these laws are what they're saying is that they violate
you know, the Constitution's equal protection costs. That's that's what
the lower court's rules. These states they know these are
laws that you know, we want to put in place.
There the far ranging effects of this is really what

(47:14):
the what the what? The most important part of this
is if you if you kind of look back at
this with a broad view, it's not just two states
that want their laws to go into effect. Depending on
how the Court rules, if they rule narrowly or if
they rule broadly. If they rule broadly, this decision could
affect other legal sites over LGBTQ plus rights, everything from

(47:37):
transgender people having access to bathrooms to claims in the military, healthcare,
education in the workplace. I mean, it could have some
far reaching effects depending on how they rule.

Speaker 1 (47:48):
Yeah, and twenty five states or so have enacted bans
on this kind of thing. As I mentioned, Nebraska is one.
The Supreme Court is hearing the arguments today. We're not
going to get a ruling on this for several months, right.

Speaker 2 (48:02):
I would expect this to be in those that they
you know, let us know about, like in June when
they when most of their This is not an emergency
thing that we see so much of now on the
shadow docket. This is one that you know, we've known
that was coming. So I would expect this to be
in that big batch of decisions they they drop in
June from from time to time. I think, you know,

(48:23):
once or twice a week. You know, who knows if
if they, you know, decide to do this earlier or
what their timetable is. They don't generally let us know.

Speaker 3 (48:32):
Ahead of time.

Speaker 2 (48:33):
Here's what we're going to say about this case.

Speaker 4 (48:35):
Or that case.

Speaker 1 (48:36):
Meanwhile, there are a lot of protesters in DC today.
They're at the Supreme Court. If you had a chance
to take a look and see what that scene looks
like today, Uh no, not.

Speaker 2 (48:46):
At this point, there are expected to be a lot
of people who are going to be protesting or demonstrating
outside the Supreme Court. You can that's that's the case.
Whenever there is a big case like this with arguments,
we expect to hear from some of the folks on
both sides of the issue later on, probably after arguments.
Like I said, Idaho gets underway in about twenty minutes

(49:08):
at ten o'clock eastern. The West Virginia arguments are supposed
to be around eleven thirty. They could be pushed back
if the Idaho arguments take a little bit longer than
you know, the hour that there's normally take. Anybody who
wants to listen to this can do that you can't
watch video, there's no cameras, but they do have live

(49:28):
audio of the oral arguments on the Supreme Court's website
at Supreme Court dot gov. So if you're wondering you
know what this actually sounds like when this gets when
this gets argued, or the questions the justices might ask
of the attorneys. That's where you can hear all of that.

Speaker 1 (49:42):
I'm glad you mentioned that we are going to take
a Fox News feed of that just after nine o'clock
here this morning local time as that gets underway. To
also listen in because that's very educational and interesting. It's
not something that most people ever get a chance to hear. Tanya,
I know that you will be covering it. We'll listen
for you reports here on Fox News Radio here on
eleven ten KFAB throughout the day and in the weeks ahead.

(50:04):
Thank you so much for the time this morning. Sure,
thank you here on Nebraska's.

Speaker 3 (50:09):
News, weather and traffic station.

Speaker 1 (50:11):
The West Virginia law that bans males from participating in
female sports, they say, effects exactly one high school athlete,
a fifteen year old named Becky, who decided in the
third grade. Along with Becky's parents, then I'm no longer

(50:32):
going to be a boy. I'm going to be a girl.
They say that he received puberty blockers so he couldn't
go through male puberty. That was at the age of
ten eleven years old.

Speaker 3 (50:47):
Criminal. A lot of people are criminal. Shaking their heads.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
I think everyone's probably shaking their heads right now either
as your assessment there, Jim, that doing this to kids,
not letting them go through biology as in some cases,
could be seen as criminal. Of course those who say no,
we have to let freedom of expression. And I can't
believe that there's such hateful people out there who wouldn't
allow this kind of thing to be done on children.

(51:11):
They're shaking their heads as wayful. It's protecting children. Yeah,
I mean, one day an eight year old thinks he's Batman.
The next day he thinks he's a fireman. This is
a child's life, and this child's life has been altered
by adults. When you get to be twenty one, you
can do whatever you want, okay in Rosie world and
everybody else is. When you turn twenty one, it's all you, baby.

(51:34):
You make decisions for yourself. Absolutely want to do this
or nine. Somebody needs to get locked up, and it's
it's just it's it's the kind of thing that Nazi
Germany did to children. Okay, experiments on children, Okay, and
we can't have that in this country. And well, but
he thinks he's he thinks he's anything at seven, Okay,

(51:56):
he thinks he's a superhero, thinks he's a ninja turtle,
he thinks he's a submarine at seven. This is what
happens with children all the time. Let them be kids.
As I empathize with families dealing with this situation that
can't be easy. Let's look at it from a legal standpoint,
as Tanya said, here, this has to do with eqal

(52:18):
Protection clause under our constitution and that level of fairness.
No one is telling any student you can't compete in sports,
you can't try and make a sports team. No one's
telling any student you can't use the bathroom. It is
only you've got to do these things with your gender.
And and if you say, but your gender is fluid,

(52:38):
it can change. You can be non binary, you can
change from male to female whatever. As soon as you
start letting people change race, well you can't do that
because you didn't grow up with that experience, it's not
the same thing.

Speaker 3 (52:52):
Huh.

Speaker 1 (52:53):
That kind of seems like counter to your own argument
on gender. Since you can't change race, you can't change
gender as far as I'm concerned. You can change your name.
You can wear whatever you want if you want to
as an adult, mutilate your body in a variety of ways,
knock yourself. Hey, I just I don't need to know
all the details about it, but I hope that it
makes you happy. But when it comes to kids and

(53:14):
you're talking about fairness, what about the kids who don't
get a chance to compete because that spot's been taken
by a boy. This is the reason why title nine exists.
This is the reason why male sports are here, girls
sports are here, and people are losing scholarships, opportunities, records
because of things like this. Mostly opportunities. But the other

(53:36):
most underreported facet of this entire dreadful issue is this Scott,
ninety six percent, ninety six percent of girls who changed
into boys by the time they're twenty five wish that
they had not done it. Okay, eighty eight percent, I'm sorry,
ninety six percent of boys who were changed into girls

(53:57):
by the time they're twenty five regret it and say
I wish I hadn't done this. There'd be a lot
of people wondering about that. Eighty eight percent of girls
who genetically biological girls who say, well, I thought maybe
i'd be a guy and so I had some massive
surgical procedures wish they had not done it. So I

(54:19):
presented this last year. It was either last spring or
the spring before during the legislative session when this first
issue was I should say the issue was first brought
to the floor by Kathleen KAlP who's state senator who's
been laser focused on this issue. And these are statistics
that are irrefutable. This is research done, and you make

(54:41):
a decision for a nine year old that lives with
them for the rest of their lives, when in reality,
in most cases, very very shortly thereafter, they go, what
have I done?

Speaker 3 (54:53):
Okay, what have I done? Let kids grow up, Let
them get.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
To twenty one, and then they can mess with their
own bodies as much as they wish. You're an adult
and you want to do that, Like I said, I
hope it makes you happy. There are a lot of
things that make me happy. People look at and go,
I don't know why you do that. You play a
lot of golf, whatever, Hey.

Speaker 3 (55:11):
Whatever, it's my business. If you body, my choice.

Speaker 1 (55:14):
And we have a lot of people in our country,
a lot because we have three hundred and thirty million people.
We have a lot of people who men who like
