Rhule Not Thrilled with League's Road Scheduling

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, maybe he's warning news six forty eight on the
Sports Bright Now the Husker Buzz edition with Sean Tallahan,
our Big Rot Insider Live in Liken, Rosie.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Okay, sat Arshana Matt Ruhle in his weekly news conference
with the Degenerates, I mean the members of the Nebraska
Media Corps dropped a little bit of a Matza ball
when he suggested that the Big Ten does not meet
out road games in November.

Speaker 4 (00:24):
Evenly to that, you say.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Yeah, the league has always had built in tolerances, you know,
as far as like Friday night games, like Iowa can't
host Friday night games other than Black Friday because of
the hospital. Michigan and Ohio State and Penn State will
not host Friday night games for example, November late in

(00:47):
the year night games. There are certain teams that won't
host them. And you know, I think they put those
tolerances in way back when these are if we agree
to this new TV deal, these are our tolerances that
we have as an institution. And obviously some schools are
big enough that they were able to get those. So Nebraska,

(01:09):
as we know, agreed to everything. This was back when
Shawn I course was the ad and you know, we
are going to host two more Friday night games in
the next six years coming up here, so you know,
it's it's out of the question here that there'll be
some more Friday night games and Lincoln possibly next year. Again.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah, that's tragic in a state that really values high
school football, that's in volleyball, that's just really unfortunate. But
the response that I give to all of these outraged
Husker fans is do the checks clear, because that's all
that matters.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Do the checks clear. You do exactly what we tell
you to do.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
And if we had seven or eight million people in
the state of Nebraska, we could throw our weight around too,
but we don't, So that's that all right, you go ahead.

Speaker 4 (01:51):
Do you have more to this?

Speaker 3 (01:52):
But yeah, my thing is that they're going to put
Nebraska on this game on Saturday night, which is fine,
don't make the Iowa game and a left then I'm black.
But that was yeah, put him in the night game window.
Last year's game in Iowa City was a night game.
Why why can't this year's Lincoln game be a night game?
If you're going to make the team traveling coming home

(02:12):
play and get home at three at the morning. So
that's my only if they did that, and they could
be fine, but you're taking away a lot of recovery
time from the athlete to that point.

Speaker 2 (02:21):
And I can speak to that because that happened to
me once we got caught at the Harrisburg International Airport
or the State College International Airport after a loss to
Penn State. The charter plane had technical difficulties. We didn't
get home until the krack of Don the following day.
But trust me, uh, it takes a while to recover
from that, especially if you've had a really physical game. Okay,

(02:44):
how is Nebraska going to block Danny Dennis Sutton? This
is number thirty three for Penn State. This guy is
a one man wrecking crew and we haven't been able
to block anybody that good all year.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Yeah, he's going to challenge him, just like the way
Michigan did earlier in the year with it with their
edge players up front. And Jim Knowles. I mean, you
look at the defensive coordinator for Penn State. He was
Ohio State's defensive coordinator a year ago. Left surprisingly after
the National championship season. They're in Columbus and his mo
is bringing pressure, bringing different heat. I mean, go back

(03:18):
to last year's game in Columbus. Think about how much
pressure you brought at Dylan Royola and all the screens
that they had to call because of the pressure. You
have to think he's going to do the same thing.
He's going to bring a lot of heat, a lot
of pressure towards t Day Latif and see how the
young kid can handle it.

Speaker 2 (03:35):
I think it's I say, bring it on. When you
have a guy like Latif with great feet and you
have an ability to move away from that, you know
you can keep plays alive a lot better than Dylan Royola.
Do you really think they'll try to pressure him knowing
he can run around the pressure.

Speaker 3 (03:51):
I think they will just because he's young and they
want to see how he handles it. And but you're right,
you know there could be some huge plays there if
the That's what they did the Indiana I mean Indiana
Mendoza's mobile and they brought pressure to him. So I
would expect a lot of different looks in confusion packages
the TD Latif and the crowd noise too. It's not

(04:14):
gonna be what we're used to a Penn State, But
I still think the atmosphere will be by far the
toughest Nebraska space this year.

Speaker 4 (04:21):
Yeah, we got about.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
A minute left, but that, to me is the one
challenge for Latif this is the only road game Nebraska's
played all year, let's be honest about it.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
These are the Minnesota Minnesota.

Speaker 1 (04:31):
Yeah, that was pretty tough.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Fifty thousand people half drunk. All right, very good, Thanks Seana.
We'll talk more tomorrow. Our Huscar insider from Austin.

Speaker 4 (04:40):
A lot of Husker fans of that Minnesota game.

Speaker 1 (04:42):
Oh sure, yeah, but that was a good atmosphere up there.
They do a good job.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
But yeah on Maryland Lay, they don't care. They don't care,
all right, Arrowhead, Nebraska.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Shawn's back with the afternoon buzz just after five with
them right here on Big Red Radio eleven to ten
ka AB.
