JUSTIN the NICK of Time

GET HYPED YALL ITS THE KENTUCKY DERBYTHERE ARE HORSES AND NICK HAS THOUGHTS ON THOSE HORSES. THOSE HORSES HAVE NAMES AND I HAVE THOUGHTS ON THOSE NAMES. ALSO WAY BACK IN DECEMBER I WENT TO CHURCHILL DOWNS WE TALKED ABOUT IT IN JANUARY AND YOU GET TO HEAR IT NOW

We answer the biggest question of a month and a half ago: Is devoting time and coverage to Husker football this year productive?We get real meta with our thoughts on the non-stop Husker football media apparatus, really fun stuff. We also poise a brand new question: 1899 Cleveland Spiders or 2025 Colorado Rockies, who's worse?

The National Championship game is coming up! It's got Nick's side piece Notre Dame in it! But is the way we got here the best way? Well let's see what my somewhat coherent pitch to be College Football Commissioner has to say about that! Here's the google doc of my perfect conferences to peruse. I'll try to update it to be less confusing. Please sound off with any thoughts https://docs.google.com/document/d/11-jImV-2ZswN8VVAMrKwID-inRPx6_pdN1M2RHwcTe8/edit?usp=sharing

Friend of the pod Jason Han joins us behind enemy lines to discuss Lincoln, not that Lincoln, how bad each University sucks, not just at football, and together we serve a fresh new helping of doom for all of our subjects. It's a spectacular listen. #WhatDoesJasonHanKnowThatWeDont (i found the episode art on Reddit, AI art is still stupid and dumb please don't make it)

We got our wish, one Marcus Satterfield is no longer offensive coordinator! Is he planning a mutiny from the inside? Does this mean we'll win any football games? Does this make us enjoy college football? Listen and find out!

Those darn Yankees and that rascal Marcus Satterfield too

Nebrutgers, but also Ashton Jeanty vs. Travis Hunter, and the debut of the one-minute challenge. DON'T FORGET KGFW.COM FRIDAY 10am-11am CST Husker Roundtable

we did it again thats right we recorded in person this time

ITS NEBRNOIS WEEK GOTTA GET DOWN ITS FRIDAY

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WE DID IT WE REALLY DID IT OMG LET US REVEL IN THE GLORY OF OUR VICTORY EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT NOW WE OWN YOU COLORADO FOREVER

We have a lot of Happy Happy Fun Thoughts on Nebraska's dominant, normal season-opening vitory over UTEP and a bunh of anxious, spiteful thoughts on what ould be the final ollision between bitter histori rivals Nebraska and olorado.

WE ARE SO BACK We discuss the many many ways this year can go both right and wrong, do a detailde roster breakdown, and of course, play the schedule game. Detours include college football songs and the inner demons of one Nicholas Saban.

It's the Olympic Games! We are in favor of them! First proper Olympics in pod history and the start of our first proper Olympics coverage. It's Olympic overload baby. There's also another game we've been obsessing over that got a shout at the end, so expect more from that.

Positive stuff first! The Euros are cool and fun and so is this summer of sport! But more pressingly, the U.S. Men's National Team continues to be an absolute embarrassment, thanks in no small part to one Gregg Berhalter. He must go. We had some technical difficulties halfway through the pod, so we had switch audio sources, but its well worth it for a LEGENDARY Nick rant in the final third. It's one of this pod's finest angry moments.

I finally done did it! Here every detail of our Golden State escapades here!

The Oakland A's are officially no more, bolting for the Westworld of Sacramento ahead of eventual Vegas gloom. That's bad and sad and we tell you why. Also, Nebraska's administration is scared of losing Big Ten membership. We should probably be scared too.

Our dear leader has left us for the great military cult in the sky. Why'd he ruin us? We have a real deal intelligent discussion as to why. (I'm tooting our horn here cause I think we nailed it and cause some people aren't on our wavelength like this and that's okay) But on the way out he gifted us with two GLORIOUS REVENGE opportunities in the men's and women's tournaments. We break those down here, and Justin lets people know why this has to be the Nebraska men's team that changes everything and foreshadows why every upset that can happen will happen (but more on that at sidecharacters.substack.com) Also tried some new audio editing techniques out on this one where we both have shoddy internet so lmk if its not what you want it to sound like I found the cake pic on Pinterest that's not an original btw

For the first time in show history, Nebraska men's basketball is the lead story! Is this what winning feels like? From there, we go to the Husker football team's greatest win since we started the show, naturally coming off the field, and we get the long awaited return of Nick's Foreign Sports Corner to close it out! s/o twitter user huskerfan4life9 for the image i'm using for episode art, love the Husker meme brigade New 'puter so there may be some audio problems, but i think i know what's wrong if there is in fact something wrong

Nebraska had four chances to make a bowl game, and it lost every single one of them. Happy happy fun times are no more. That is what we spend the first part of the episode talking about. The second half is about possibly the most different thing from that we could be talking about. As a taste, we reference the geographical visual aids from this Wikipedia article. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_Bay_Area ENjoy! (lots of angry words in this one, you can understand why)

Nebraska is 5-3, far and away the best record it has had since we started this thing. We're not entirely sure what to do with ourselves. We did open with smack talking Iowa as well as every other volleyball program that isn't as good as ours (which is every other volleyball program in the country, especially Wisconsin) so at least tune in for that .

Well whaddaya know we finally got to the biggest news of the offseason right in the middle of the season Stay for detours about deserts, books, state university system nomenclature and more!

Come for breaking down the B1G Westiest game to ever B1G West (image related) , stay for the best story in the HSTory of the MIST TWST rebrand.

First half: Colorado dismantled the Huskers. What does this mean? Does this mean anything? Second half: What are the funniest possible NIL deals in the state of Nebraska? Also: My new microphone does not let us interrupt each other as easily. This is a sad and unfortunate development and some interjections get lost. We will (maybe) try to do better. Maybe.

Something (well two things) big and important happened to Nebraska football, and its next opponent just shifted the entire future of the sport after one week. Let's Start Here.

We play the schedule game for Nebraska!! Plus give a short requiem for the Big Ten West and Justin breaks down the most fascinating game of the year, New Mexico State vs. UMass. Credit to whoever made the episode picture, I do not remember where I found it but I am eternally grateful.

Part Two! of our MLB Tier List Series, on this episode we rank every team's individual routine for the most electrifying two minutes in sports - the seventh-inning stretch.

In potentially a new format for this podcast, Justin and Nick take care of business in a tight 30 minutes, tiering off the MLB fanbases based on nothing but vibes. ALSO IF YOU ARE A LISTENER IN GERMANY PLEASE LET US KNOW Reach out to Nick at @NickMc1717

On this VERY SPECIAL EPISODE we take it waaaaay back with our dear friends Kaylee and Nathan, to reminisce on our shared childhood at good old St. Pete's and beyond. I promise we will make so much more sense as people after this episode. We've been wanting to do this one for forever, and trust me it lived up to our expectations and then some. Also a big reason we did this when we did is PODCAST BUSINESS that you'll have to wait to hear. Also, if you have kids listening just skip past the (56:40) to (1:07:00) please heed my words. Seriously. Things get safe again around (1:07:15) Anyways I absolutely love these people and can honestly say this was the most fun I've ever had recording this show. Sorry for the inconsistent audio levels I tried to record four people at once with one microphone and this is what happened. Enjoy. - Justin still here (with the ones that i came with)

NEBRASKA BEAT IOWA! WE HIRED JUSTINS NO. 1 COACHING CANDIDATE! HE DELIVERED THE GREATEST PRESS CONFERENCES OF ALL TIME! MATT RHULES EVERYTHING AROUND ME!

In the last episode of the Mickey Joseph interim era, Justin and Nick (and Nicki shoutout for the logo!) go over what is at the time the current hierarchy of the Husker coaching candidates, and who are the best names (both literally and figuratively) of the bunch. Buckle up, this ride's just beginning.

Does the rest of the season matter? Is Maine the most forgettable state in the nation? Will the US do anything in the World Cup? All this and more in this brand new episode of JUSTIN the NICK of Time.

We lead off this show with the back half of our conversation, which includes all of the wonderful takes about Mickey Joseph's head coaching possibilities and Nebraska's performances against Illinois and Purdue. Then we finish how we started with tangents about Car racing, why Iowa gets cool stuff and we don't, Shohei Ohtani's future, Nick's Savannah Banana's rant and Kirk Ferentz makes us question if football coaches are good dads.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are remarkably tied for first in the Big Ten West division behind interim head coach Mickey Joseph, prompting an insane amount of hype to give the man a full time job. Will this last past this weekend? Is Mickey Joseph in any way the man long term? Did winning two games mean anything? Is the now-available Matt Rhule going to save us? Find out all this and more on the exquisite new episode.

It 'twas a bye week, so we look to national rankings and realized one thing- they're wrong. So we fixed it. You're welcome.

Nebraska at long last realized that the Scott Frost experiment wasn't working, and paid him millions to buzz off. Justin, Nick, and Gabe (everybody say hi Gabe he's new here) rejoice in the news, Justin has theories about who to get next, and we seriously hash out the very real possibility of Nebraska head coach Urban Meyer. Enjoy

In our first ever post-game instant reaction, we hash out whatever was on our minds after Nebraska lost to Georgia Southern. Audio issues might be present since we recorded this on a whim but I did my best I promise. Enjoy.

We try really hard not to talk about what Nick witnessed in Ireland for the first half hour, but eventually our lamentations on the current state of the Nebraska Cornhuskers make its way to the forefront in a dour, analytical and off-kilter episode of the pod.

Justin and Nick go through their thoughts before Nebraska touches down for the season opener in the Republic of Ireland. They go over vibes headed into the season, what Frost must do to satisfy expectations, and Justin drops a SPICY take on the game's result.

So the Big Ten recently went California Dreamin' on such a summer's day, adding UCLA and USC seemingly out of nowhere. With an endgame far away but certainly incoming, Justin the Nick of Time break down everything this move could mean for the past and present of college football.

For the last time, Justin and Nick are podding from the lovely podcast studio at the luxurious Andersen Hall. Due to Justin's impending graduation, the bois go over the highs and lows (and mostly lows) of the four preceding years of Husker football, with a healthy dose of Kool-Aid for the future. After that, Justin shares the story Crazy Crab, the first and only anti-mascot. this isn't the end, but thanks for rocking with us all along, it really means a lot. - JUSTIN the NICK of Time

Boy howdy it sure has been a while hasn't it. Justin and Nick return this week with all their thoughts on Nebraska's most achingly frustrating season in years, Justin dishes out #HOT takes on where the Huskers can go from here, the boys dish out some opinions on the state of sports media, and talk playoffs and why the Heisman is a total farce.

Justin and Nick talk about the sense of dread they're feeling as Nebraska faces the #3 team in the country, and theorize on how the Huskers could possibly win and what that would mean for the program. They also discuss what rivalries mean the most to Nebraska fans, and Nick rants about the 2018 Akron game cancellation's domino effect on the program.

Justin and Nick overreact to Nebraska/Fordham and all of college football's week 1 slate, trade blows dissing advertisements that have annoyed them greatly throughout college football and go over the strange history of going over Niagara Falls in a barrel.

NOTE: This is the first explicit episode of the show. We were mad and it didn't hit right without them bad words. Do with that information what you will. On this episode, Justin and Nick go over Nebraska's immensely disappointing loss to Illinois, and what that means for head coach Scott Frost and the sellout streak. On a lighter note, we also go over the origin of the backwards B in the ABBA logo by speedreading their wiki page and talk about the best fake high school in the country.  

THE HUSKERS ARE BACK AND SO ARE WE! If you hadn't paid attention to any offseason coverage, I got you with everything you need to know about the season before the kickoff against Illinois.

On the triumphant return of JUSTIN the NICK of Time, the guys discuss Nebraseball's postseason run, the college football playoffs expansion plans, the randomness (with a catch) of the NBA playoffs, how pitchers in the MLB are all pompous cheaters and Justin gives a Falcons fan sendoff to Julio Jones.
