Speaker 1 (00:00):
Onward. Now to sports Brief, the Husker Buzz edition Well
Sean Callahan, Liven Liken, Rosie.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Okay, Sewana so wrapped around CAF for hoping, wing eating
and the airing of grievances. We'll have four fifteen play
quarters of scrimmage action on Saturday at the Husker Games Festival.
Who is going to play? I can't imagine a first
teamer is going to be out there, maybe a few
second teamers. But in your view, for the fans who
(00:26):
are paying to go see this, who are they going
to see?
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Well, the starter guys will probably be involved in some
of the fun stuff, the skills competitions, but yeah, it
will be lower second unit guys and thirty players for
the most part. So all the number ones and probably
the top number two guys that you know, you know
right there that they're probably not going to be a
part of this. You'll see around sixty plays fifteen plays
(00:53):
per quarter is what Matt Rule said yesterday as far
as what the itinerary is going to be. But it's
slowly turning back into a spring game. You know, at
first it was just going to be I think more
skills competition and funding games I'm intrigued by this equipment
sale they're going to run to and they're going to
(01:13):
have that as part of it on Saturday, where they've
got a ton of old equipment and apparel and gear
jerseys like actual you know, Husker jerseys and helmets and
things like that that are going to be for sale.
So that will take place in the morning before the
event starts. That could get pretty crazy. I mean there's
(01:34):
probably gonna be some people storming in the doors trying
to find something unique. But that's a part of it
as well as facility tours. You can pay additional money
you get a special tour, private tour of the brand
new football facilities.
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Well that's a little disappointing. You see, you have to
buy a ticket to get into the garage sale too, right, the.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
Game ticket to the game gets you into the garage sale,
but the facility tour is its own separate thing. I
didn't think there's too much demand to allow that many
people in. I think they're limiting the number in the facility.
It's hard. I mean they use that obviously, twenty four hours,
seven days a week, practically, where you can't just make
(02:18):
that thing a museum. Yeah, there's Dylan Rayl.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Yeah, it might be the only it might be the
only state building that you have to pay to get into,
which would be frustrating, but hey, it's a market now.
Ticket sales, and this is something I read online. In fact,
our good friend Steve Sipple, Uh you know, he was
able to focus in long enough to crank out a
half decent column the other day talking about interest in
all of this. And we say that with love and
(02:44):
affection for Sip, because you know, he listens. He sensed
that there's just a lot of apathy out there and
it was reflecting in ticket sales, and that's what prompted
Rule to say, all right, you know what, let's play
some game. Is that part of it?
Speaker 3 (02:59):
Yeah? I think you look at these other events Oklahoma, Alabama, Wisconsin,
they've all had really really low turnouts, I mean as
low as you'll ever see at places like that. Even
Ohio State winning the national title, they were half of
what they drew a year ago. I mean they went
from eighty to forty thousand. It put forty thousand, by
the way, is a good number. In this year's context.
(03:21):
Florida has been the most successful. They drew their best
crowd since nine fifty seven thousand, but that was coming
off the basketball National championship and they celebrated the team
as part of the spring game. But they had a
really good spring game. Michigan, you know, played a traditional
game and had about forty forty five thousand fans there Saturday,
(03:41):
which for them is a good number. So it's been
hit and missed. But Alabama Oklahoma in Wisconsin, but Wisconsin's
not usually a great draw for a spring game. They
were startingly low. I mean, they look like the Class
C state championship gaming crowd numbers you'd see.
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Almost right this. I just think there's a protest vote here,
but I just do I I just think a lot
of Nebraskans are tired. They obviously want to win. Nebraskans
want to win, and if they win, they're going to
forget about nil and free agency. But they're kind of
turned off by it. And then the notion that that
they're going to be asked to pay to watch a
(04:18):
bunch of media guys eat wings is probably not a
big draw on a day when they could plant flowers.
So talk about this media challenge, What the hell is that?
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, we don't know. We know who's going to be
part of it, and I think most are going to
decline because we're couples, are joking, Like, the whole point
of this is to get us on tape looking terrible,
right for decades and.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
You and Chattel drinking beers. And if that's the case,
you better be in traded.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
I mean, they've wanted Sip to do SIPs already said
I'm fifty eight years old. Guys, I'm not doing this
so I can look like a fool for.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
You, right, No, I'm not doing this. It's like it's
like when fifty year old guys go to dream Week.
It's not dream week, it's a nightmare week.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
And you're I mean, I think they want you to
feel like they potentially feel the life.
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Yeah, yeah, like you. They want reporters catching punts, they
want reporters running routes, and all you're gonna get is
torn acls, pulled hamstrings, injured shoulders. It's not it's an
unhealthy experience for somebody with the physical condition of a
barca lounger, which is the way it is a immediate job.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
It's going to look bad.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Yeah, Hey, Sean cam Jurgens gots this a big contract,
second highest paced center in the NFL. Matt addressed this yesterday.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Right, yeah, just just what what that you know means?
He can show guys like, hey, you come to Nebraska's
camp as a fifteen year old, and they showed pictures
of Cam Jurgens from age fifteen each year down the
line to where now he's getting this this huge NFL contract.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
Yeah, he was not a sleeper. In fact, you you
and I were talking about him in high school. This
was not some guy who came out of Ruby, Nebraska
and turned into some magnificent NFL player. He was highly
celebrated as an athlete. And if he'd been in the
Dallas metroplex, he'd gotten one hundred d one offers.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
He was a modern day Tom Crop type athlete in
the state. I mean in terms of basketball, football, track,
and he was an exceptional and he played running back
in high school.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
He was very, very stand out in high school in
all sports, no.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Doubt out of Beatrice. All right, Sean, thanks one more time.
Well we'll talk to you Friday morning and then probably
do a wrap up Monday.
Speaker 3 (06:37):

Speaker 1 (06:39):
