On a Friday, a Halloween Friday, rarer that that happens, but glad to be with you. On game day Eve as well, I'm Jake Bacobin in studio with Nick Sainert as we roll through one-on-one today. D.P. again, out for today, but he'll be back for the game. The blackout tomorrow, definitely looking forward to it. I brought my little skull cap thing I got. I told you this one the other day. I made the mistake I had did not bring any Halloween stuff.

He did not dress up. I walked in and they go, oh, you Matt Rule? And I was like, no, that's not what I'm doing. I just wore a pullover today. That does kind of look like a Matt Rule pullover. He might wear. Yeah, well, either way. No, Bach, good morning.

Happy Halloween. Did you figure out what you're going to be tonight? I know your son is going to be a bat. Yes, he's good. Well, he actually changed. He saw me get this skeleton thing, which I got for today for, I figured I was just going to wear this today. Yeah.

Well, you can't, you probably can't hear yourself very well. I don't know. I'm going to test it out. I would have, I would have things figured out. Yeah, I would imagine that you wouldn't be able to. Yeah, we were too busy chopping it up with, with Ed during the break. It was great, great to have him. That was awesome.

If you're following on, if you're following along on aloe or any of our streams, struggling a little bit with, with the cameras. I'll get this kind of worked out here. A couple of the, the internet bugs, maybe, if you will, that in my mic, not going, not working with me. That's okay. Struggling a little bit. I think, I think, I mean, there's a lot.

And in the way that. that we're going to structure this. I could take over here for you for a second buck. I think that's the way we're going to structure this. There's a lot to get into over the next hour, hour and a half. And Adam will obviously have his thoughts on the mat rule extension and stuff and continuation of yesterday.

But ultimately, as always, 402, 464, 56685, the Honda Lincoln Hotline and the Sartre Hamid text line are open for you guys. I think that there's a lot, you know, when we look at yesterday and the contract stuff, we were on this show doing it together, Bach, as the news broke. And at that time, we didn't know maybe some of the details. Now we do know, I mean, most of the details, if any of them.

I came to, I would love to break this down with you to where you look at the jobs that are open right now. And LSU is a dumpster fire to where they move on and they part ways with their athletic director, Scott Woodward. And you have a program and an institution now that doesn't have an athletic director, that doesn't have a full-time permanent president, and doesn't have a head football. coach at LSU and politics are in the center of it all because the governor has inserted him and it doesn't matter what side of the aisle you lie on. It's just a matter of the fact of the matter is and the truth is that it doesn't matter what side of the aisle you are. Politics is directly in the middle of that sport right now and in that institution at LSU. And it is an

uncomfortable, uncomfortable situation right now in Baton Rouge simply because you don't know Oh, like, you don't know what's first. Like, what do we attack first? Do we attack the president? Do we, like, do we, and get that taken care of? And that's on November 4th. They're going to vote for that. Do they take care of the athletic director?

Do they worry about a head coach? Do all of those mesh together? Because alignment and relationships are incredibly crucial. We heard that yesterday from that rule. You look at all these jobs that are open. And are there good, are there enough good college football coaches to fill those jobs? Probably not. There's only three acting head coaches right now that have a national championship that are coaching.

Dabo, Ryan Day, and Kirby Smart. All three of those, maybe dabbo's the one that is a little more reachable than the other two. If you want them at this point. If you want them at this point. But Bach, the truth is some of these open jobs are going to be in worse spots next year than they were this year because the caliber of coach they're looking for is just not getable. It's not attainable right now for them. And it's creating a very, very interesting coaching carousel cycle coming up.

And like you said, I mean, you kind of said all along. This is going to be very interesting when it does happen. Because I think with the size of the jobs that are there, Penn State, you know, with LSU and Florida, I don't know if they're going to get kind of the second pick, right? They're going to all be fighting for that top pick. So, you know, and then you're here. and from other people. I mean,

we know how money's being thrown around in college sports these days. And so how do you want to direct it now? Do you want to go all in on a coach? Or do you kind of want to save that maybe a little bit for the roster? Then there are guys. Len Kiffin's the top name probably out there in general because of what he's been able to do at Old Miss. And he's saying money's not a factor one.

And then Nick Saban's coming out and saying, I'm not sure those are better jobs anymore. I mean, old miss right now as it stands is uh is seven of one they're a top 10 team he's already got it built and he's getting everything he wants as far as adding to his roster in the off season so you know there's less pressure there there's there's obviously some some benefits there if you want to he's allowed to be himself might be a little bit more difficult uh to take some of his jokes after a loss at lSU or florida so i i don't even know if the top candidates

even going to be interested no matter much of money you throw him anyway and that and that's kind of one thing that I kind of got to when they fired Brian Kelly, like LSU is the better job than Florida, right? And those are the two top jobs in the market. And quickly, Penn State has become the third best job available, which is really interesting to think about because what is Penn State going to do? I still think that they lean Joe Brady. I think that they either lean Joe Brady or Jeff Brom. That is if you can lure Jeff Brom away from his hometown. And like this is, this is a place where Jeff played. This is a place where his dad played quarterback. Like, Jeff Brom is deeply rooted with University of Louisville.

Does he want to leave in a spot where he's been successful? He's extremely successful at Louisville. And the biggest question and the question that all these coaches have to ask themselves is, do I want to leave and go somewhere where the expectation is substantially higher and the leash is substantially shorter? And when you kind of say it out loud, if you're Lane Kiffin, why? Does an extra, in Lane Kiffin's position,

does an extra $3 million do it for you when in three years you could be fired when you have it so good right now? He's already coached at Tennessee, USC. Yeah, he's been in these spotlights before. Yeah, like he's got it figured out at Ole Miss. Is an extra couple million a year for guys in these positions, is it really worth it? And when you're going, especially to a place like LSU,

where there is clear dysfunction, there is clear dysfunction. We forget, there's been a lot of negativity towards Scott Woodward, the athletic director or former athletic director. This is a football situation simply, because if you look what he did, he brought a national championship coach

in women's basketball. He hired a two-time national championship baseball head coach. He lured Brian. and Kelly away, one of the winning, the winningness coach in Notre Dame history to the job. It's not like Woodward was a bad AD. It's that just in this moment, it was really uncomfortable when Landry comes out and is like,

yeah, he's not making the hire. Well, he always got to get the football higher, right? You have to. You have to. And people are making, are blaming him for the buyout and stuff. Yeah. Which at LSU, it is,

it is his fault. However, at A&M, he gets tabbed and he gets, he gets poked at for the Jimbo Fisher buyout. That was a Ross Bork, extension that Jimbo signed at A&M. However, he hired Jimbo at A&M. So there's, it's give and take. I just think, I just don't think you would leave.

I don't think, I think that this dysfunction is so apparent that is it really worth it. And I think the answers are resounding no. Yeah, we'll see. I mean, I think there's some other names that are out there, Eli Drinkwitz at Missouri. I think certainly a name at top school is going to want to get, but like to your point earlier, you know, when Penn State fired James Franklin and you feel like they're the top name on the market. Maybe they can go out there and get all these guys.

And, you know, obviously the first name anybody thinks of in this coaching carous was Kurt Signetti. He got locked in. Matt Rule obviously locked in now at Nebraska. And it was what remained to be seen if he was going to be a quality enough candidate for them, in my opinion, was going to be what he had to do at the remainder of the season here at Nebraska. Then you look at guys, I mean, you know, Clark Lee at Vanderbilt might be interesting. But he's, I mean, he's seven and one this year. I think he's like six and twenty, is SEC record overall. Does that make it, like, is that flashy enough?

No. Yeah. Would you fire James Franklin for Clark Lee? I don't think so. I just, that it goes back to my original point of like, there are a lot of high caliber jobs. And there's going to be some more that open up, sure.

There's a lot of high caliber jobs. Are there enough high caliber coaches? And I think the answer is no. I think that the right now, the answer is no, because like if LSU goes and gets to Lanes head coach John Summerall okay, cool. Like that might be a good move

for a six year plan. But LSU just proved that it doesn't want a six year plan. The interim athletic director just said today that he expects LSU to be in the college to all playoff every year. Do you, do we understand what that's, what they're asking?

It's not necessarily wrong in LSD. They were in the fight for this year. But do you like the expectation of that? Yeah. It's crazy. It's crazy. And so, you know, it's just, I think that there's a lot of reasons why you wouldn't touch that job with a thousand foot pole. Well, there is the interesting part about it is that the three of the last four coaches have won the national championship that took that job.

So there's clearly, again, there's a reason why we call the number one job. Yeah, there's an avenue to have success. Right now it looks more messy than it ever has. Oh, man. With the governor involved. an interim AD who's likely to make the hire. That's an awful idea. More often than not, right?

It's horrible because there's no relationship. There's zero relationship built there. I'd be fascinated to talk to somebody down in LSU right now because this is in the middle of a season. You're not hiring a guy anyway for another month and a half month at least. You have to go four weeks with this narrative of that there's so much dysfunction. you can go out like when are you going to hire an athletic director it's going to take two months to hire an athletic director which is going to delay the college football head coach decision if there's no relationship if there's not a functional working relationship between an athletic director and a head coach and all parties involved you are you are asking for it to fail you are asking for it to fail that's why i'm saying if i'm a head coach if i'm a lane kiffin that has already built up the reputation and maybe also with Lane specifically, his personality might not gel with everybody.

And that's okay. Why on earth would you want it? I get it. I get it that you are at the top of your game and I get it that it's an SEC job and you have a chance to win a national title and that's the end goal. But I think that with the parody in college football,

the way it is now, Ole Miss has the most momentum I think it ever has. Oh, yeah. And I think that there's something specifically with Lane to where he can look at this and say, I believe I can do it at Ole Miss. And in the way that college football is structured now, that's not so hard to believe maybe in comparison to what it was 10 years ago. You don't have to be at an Alabama and LSU Ohio State to compete for a national championship.

You just have to be good at your job. and I think that ultimately Ole Miss is in that spot right now. They're doing it with the backup quarterback, we forget. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. I mean, the whole thing could be even more interesting if LSU and Frank Wilson, interim coach beat Alabama when they come in next week.

So that'll be a little bit more interesting too. But if you just look at the top coaches here and you kind of think of are the top teams here and think of their coach would be available, you know, could start from the top Ohio State. No, Indiana, no, Texas. Mike Elko, why would just leave? there Alabama no

Katelyn DeBoard, Georgia, Oregon, Dan Lening's already pulled himself out, Ole Miss, like we said, I mean, Elaine Kiffin, maybe, maybe Georgia Tech's Brent Key at number eight would be interesting. He's an alumni there. Yeah. So that might be tough.

Does that mean anything anymore? Yeah, it's flashy. Is it flashy enough? Oh, to get Frank. I would love break. He's an upset machine. I would love break here. Yeah. But, but I'm saying to LSU. Yeah. Like, do we, are you buying Georgia Tech on a consistent basis. Maybe you should. I think Georgia Tech's

underrated. I think Haynes King is really fun to watch. But is that flashy enough? You're doing in the ACC. That's going to be the knock against him. Well, he's done in the ACC. Is he able to do in the SEC? Well, the other thing, though, is, you know, you can obviously, like you said,

the Tulane possibility there, or pick up the whatever Krip of 5 team that's doing well. Well, Florida just did that with Napier. Yeah. So, you know, they've got to gone through every which road since Urban Meyer. Yeah. And now they're like,

they're just going to be stuck. And I don't know again, if they're at the top of the pecking order right now. There's a very good chance that like Arkansas or Virginia Tech end up winning this cycle. There is. And what I mean by that is if like James Franklin falls into their lap, there's a chance there. We're not even talking about UCLA.

Like, well, what's UCLA do? The big, the three big ones or, you know, the four big ones, I suppose,

in whatever order. It's, it's obviously L. Florida, Penn State, and then you can throw in the fourth one if you want Arkansas or Virginia Tech or UCLA, whichever one you want. At some point, like, James Franklin's going to fall on the lap of one of those because you're going to have LSU in Florida feel like they can get a bigger one. And Arkansas or Virginia Tech is going to end up winning this cycle because they get James Franklin.

What do you think the possibilities of LSU or Florida landing on Franklin? We talked about the lack of top. I just I think I think I think I think Florida's more realistic than LSU yeah um I don't think he fits either one of them though Well, like I said, it depends on what your options are. I just think they need flash. Like, I think that they starve for flashiness. And they, that goes back to my point is I don't think it's in this cycle. I don't think it's realistic.

So whoever they end up with, you know, because now that, now that like group of five are as much of a power thing anymore, like there was such a big conversation around group of five head coaches, where it was whether it was like Billy Napier or or Scott Frost the first time at UCF or others. Like it's not flash enough. And are there coordinators that can do it? I don't know. Maybe.

Like, does Gus Malzahn want to get back into head coaching? I don't know. Like, I just, it seems, this is another thing. Like Will Stein at Oregon, is he good enough to get an SEC job for his first head coaching job? No. Is Kenny Dillingham and Arizona State ready to make the move?

Is he flashy enough? Maybe. That could definitely be one to look out for. I do like, I like the idea of Kenny Dillingham at Florida. Yeah, a lot. I actually, I wouldn't mind that either. I actually really like the idea, which by the way, Arizona State-wise, Jeff Sims is starting the rest of the year.

Did you see this? Yeah, I did see that. Sam Levitt out for the rest of the year. Jeff Sims is Arizona State starting quarterback for the rest of the year. I like the plot thickets because Arizona State is that sitting at five and three. They need one more win to get to a bowl game. Oh, no. And so they've got games with Iowa State.

They've got, I mean, they've got Iowa State West Virginia. of Colorado and Arizona. You got to, West Virginia is terrible. But it's just him. So I'm not really sure. Uh, that's going to be interesting moving forward to see what they do there. But I do think that's a name. Now he's been, I mean, he thinks that's, uh, you know, out there in, Tempe, um, you know, like a sleeping giant type of thing. But it's hard to win sustainably there. As we're seeing. Plus you're in the big 12 conference wise as to see money, man. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Don't say no to it. Yeah. I think that would be a big name to look out for. But again, it's funny to see the different like I just I always go back to Matt Campbell is based on what you're doing this week

of that week you're going to be up and down or completely out and that's where like okay so so go back through the top 25 so outside like the top like 10 through 25 rankings what coaches are getable do you do you have the top 25 pulled up yeah I mean uh number 10 Kalani Sataki BYU he's a he's again another alum much like Brent Key um you know I don't I don't think you're you know Texas tech you got Texas tech money you don't need to run away for from that. Okay, so like obvious, so 10, Mario Cristobal's not leaving. Yeah. Jeff Brom maybe. Marcus Freeman already is not. Joey McGuire is, I think, too old. Do you want Tony Elliott at Virginia? One fine. If you like one season. Yeah, fine. Sharon's not

leaving Michigan. Brett Venables is not leaving Oklahoma. Heipples not leave in Tennessee. Satterfield at Cincinnati, it's like a one-season hit. Sure is heck's not flashy enough. Whittingham's done towards the end of his career. Yeah. There's not, there's nobody, like, and you can't even take like a Chris Climman from Kansas State. Like, it's like, okay, or is Chris Climman ready to make the jump to the SEC

or jump to the Big Ten? Could Chris Climman to be Penn State? No. And that wouldn't be too exciting. No, no. And so there's not even like a middle of the road or just above average big 12 team that you sit there and go, yeah, you know what, that actually works well.

It's going to be fascinating. I'm thankful, going back to the Matt Rule stuff, thankful that Nebraska's not going to be in that spot. Because guess what? Okay, let's say Matt Rule leaves. What's Nebraska do? We're talking about as unflashy of a coaching carousel as we are thinking to have,

what's expectation versus reality for Nebraska football in terms of who they would hire. I don't like to do the whole, well, who are they going to go out? out and get, you know. Yeah. I don't like to do that. But realistic versus expectation, I think, is two different things and we're seeing it play out at other universities. And it's nice that Nebraska is not going to be involved. Yeah, it does feel nice. That contract extension. By the way, I did want to ask you real quick, too, because I thought yesterday was just the biggest news ever and

it was a big day when it ran with it. Do you think that the common football fan or, you know, I guess is as into the contract negotiation stuff as maybe those in the business, I suppose? I'm sorry. So are they as interested in it? Yeah. Did you find that you got like more, like was yesterday as big as I found out that people didn't necessarily know the details of it. Yeah. And they went off of an initial emotion being pissed off that they expected that Matt Rule was going to get more money. And so when they read extension, we are so accustomed to thinking raise. Big money. Yeah. And that wasn't the case yesterday. Like I still stand by it. I said it with you yesterday, Bach. I still stand by firmly that. Sure, the email.

I think incentive contracts are the way to go. I just, I sincerely convince your coach to do it. Exactly. Yeah. I think incentivized contracts are the way to go. Nebraska with Matt Rule, okay, so let's say they make the college football playoff four years in a row. Dan,

and used this example yesterday. They used the four years in a row when he gets paid four extra million dollars a year on his base salary. But what Nebraska is making in revenue and in donations and in, investment and in financial aid and NIL input is surpassing $4 million in the blink of an eye. So like, you know, hey, if Nebraska, if Nebraska makes the, the college football playoff this season and next season. And in 2028, Matt Rule is making 14 and a half million instead of the 12 and a half million that he was supposed to make. That's fine because the expectation is you're

going back to the cultural football playoff for the third year in a row. That a rising tide lifts all boats, the expectation, the money, everything needs to go up if you're winning and your performance goes up as well. I just, I think it's an, I think incentivized contracts are the best way to go about it. If you can convince your head coach, I was really impressed with Troy Dannen just because he was able to get this done. I didn't think it'd be possible. Knowing who Matt Rule is, knowing how he operates, knowing how Trace Armstrong, his agent operates with Matt Rule, I didn't think it was possible that they would be able to get this done without a bump in the base south. Right. But the fact that they were able to, it told me a lot about Troy Danin.

Yeah. That's what I, that's what I was saying all day yesterday, too, is that no, no contract extensions are built the same or, you know, not every one is the same. And I would would categorize this as a team friendly deal, if you put it that way, which is funny to say for basically, you know, he got two more years. In the two more years, Nebraska's going to pay a head coach one way or the other, right? I mean, so when you look into that, there's going to be. somebody's going to get that money. So that just kind of extends his current deal out with it. So it's weird because it's a,

and remember 90% of this is guaranteed. You got two years extended at 12.5. So that's $25 million. So it's a team friendly deal that guarantees Matt Rule $22.5 million. Yeah. So it got it. Yeah, you got it works out. Yeah.

Got it works out both ways. By the way, I will say this about the blackout this week, too. I'm glad that they are doing it. They are fully committed. I that this is going to be my last time on air like today until tomorrow obviously and for the pregame show I'm thankful that Nebraska is fully committed to the bit yeah like they just announced that they're going to do the student section welcome to your worst night wear thing oh yeah like I wasn't as big and I was talking to a couple players a couple former guys um not hard if you've been listening to the station who um and I asked them like their thoughts on painting the end black and like going out I love the end zones being black I'm surprised they didn't keep the end red That is one thing that it seems like is rubbing people a little bit the wrong way. But ultimately, I think it's going to be an incredible atmosphere tomorrow at the stadium. I think night game, national TV, you're fully committed to the bit.

I know the student section is getting war towels. I don't know if the actual general public are getting war towels. I don't know what it is. I hope that Husker fans in part do their part. I know it's frustrating for some. I get it. We value everybody's opinions. But ultimately,

it has a chance to be a very special night. And can you imagine Bach what this place, what downtown Lincoln will be like tomorrow if Nebraska wins? It'll be really, really fun. And I've been waiting a while for that one. Right?

And who knows? It'll be a gigantic missed opportunity if they lose. Yeah. But if they win, and Nebraska 7 and 2. November's been unkind in Nebraska, 5 and 18 since 2018 in the month of November. I mean, at some point, you got to break through. The times now, your coach has to sign an extension.

It has to be tomorrow. It needs to be tomorrow. And again, the other part of that is if they do win, you don't jump in front of it. I've been notified from our friends at Raising Cains. Okay. Raising Cains will be offering black pom-poms while supplies last. There you go.

Darren from Raising Cains just texted me. So there you go. Yeah. If you want some black pom-poms for the game, you have some young children and your family making the way to the game. That's the way to go. I'm serious. Even if you want to wear red,

try to find a war towel, try to find something like do your part in some capacity. Good luck. That's an uphill battle with some of the old. And that's fine. I get it. I see a red. I understand.

Yeah. I understand. I love it too. I like that they lead into it. And I do think if they do win, by the way, then playoff talk is. legit. Then you legitimately can start

talking about. Not that they're definitely going to be a shoe in. Because there's four teams. The big 10 is going to be fighting for four teams. The fourth team, yeah. And Nebraska, if they win tomorrow, the game tomorrow night, it essentially is who's the who's still in line to be the fourth team and who's out. That is where it is.

That's the other part of it is, if you're Nebraska, have this mentality of like forget we want to be in. We just don't want you in. You have a chance to knock somebody out. You have a chance to basically give somebody no hope to make the college football playoff tomorrow night. Do you think it is a little bit silly that an unranked team and a 23rd ranked team are fighting for a college football player?

No, no. You love it. I do love it. I miss my own college football. It creates, it creates meaningful football games. This is a, okay, okay. I won't go for a lot. I know how you feel you're, I do, I do miss the BCS.

I miss the goal, the diamond football. Yeah. I wish that they had that still as the trophy. I miss the ball. I just not sure of either of these teams are actually going to factor into the goals. football playoff discussion. They should by the end of it. But we'll see.

All right, let's go ahead and take a quick break. We'll be back with Warren, one-on-one on 93-7 the ticket. Download our app by searching 93.7, the ticket in your app store. You're listening to one-on-one with DP on 93-7-the-ticket.com. We're back here on one-on-one on 93-7, the ticket. But Nick had to go. He had to run out of the building. So we brought Austin in Austin.

Welcome in to one-on-one today. Doc, thank you. I think that what this means is that your king of the... the hill. You know, make it take it. Oh, there. Yeah, you beat Nick. Now, now you're stuck with me. So we'll see if we can do a round robin. Maybe I prevail this time and get someone new to run the board or maybe you win again. You bring a third person in to maintain your king of the hill status. We'll see. I don't know if I want an argument with Nick, but I guess the text line turned against him a little bit. Oh, gosh. I was done. What did I miss? Oh, not too much. I mean, he didn't,

he didn't have too much to say. There's just always somebody out there to any small detail, Is it Eric? Is Eric antagonizing again? Let me just guess. Eric is one of, yeah, Eric is among the ones that I've heard of him. You could have seen that coming.

But I guess part of it has been the discussion. I didn't even know this. But Nick pointed out that there are people that are okay with the end zones being black, but they would have rather had the in at the middle of the field be red still. Ooh, interesting. I feel like if you're going to do a blackout, you've got to go all out. Yeah. I and they've done it on everything else like media stuff I mean it's all the end's been black everywhere

yeah I think that it looks pretty good I do have to I do have to say this is that when I was walking out of the pressers yesterday I was looking for a way because Dan and it teased oh you'll you'll get a look at what's going on around two o'clock so I was looking for a way could I just like sneak a peek at what was going on get a get a picture and whatnot well there was an open gate. There was, except there's a security guard there. And if I had been like an actual like reputable journalist or something, I might have said, hey, you know, let me just sneak in. Let me get eyes on it. You can supervise me the whole time. I just want to want to get a look or whatever. I'm like, you know what? I'm just a lowly radio host. It's not my job. The break news and

and get in trouble. So if I was a charmer, I probably could have gotten it and gotten a sneak peek. But I really don't hate it. I think if you're going to do the blackout, it makes sense. to put the end at midfield in black as well. To me, really the consideration would have been with the end zones. Do you want Nebraska in black, which is the opposite of what they did. They put Nebraska in white with the black end zone paint around it. Or do you do like keep the red end zones and do the black lettering? Would that have popped enough?

But I think it makes sense with what they're doing at least enough sense. I'm going to be honest, I guess I suppose, and that we've seen these attempts at blackouts before and that's why everybody's appreciative that they're leaning more into it right trying to go all black and maybe that's why they've just said cut out red you know it's going to be all black this weekend but i think as an accent color red would have been great not only due to you know just just the pure like visual aspect of it but there are as much as they try this blackout there's going to be plenty of red in the building so you're already going to get the accent color red maybe just

surrounding the inn or like you said the Nebraska and the end zones red I think could be could have been something that they might consider moving forward

this is all just very funny in light of Troy Dannon this summer saying red is our color we have to own red red red red red and now again this is probably in the works

long before that I don't have an issue with it it's just funny but imagine if you could have gone like full Halloween mode like full slasher flick and done the red accent oh yeah you know

that would have been so metal. That would have been cool. Yeah. I would, and maybe that's it. Maybe that's what it is. I'm a big Halloween fan. So I would definitely be into that. Are you in the family? Do you take your son trick or treating? Yeah, yeah. I'm looking forward to it tonight. Yeah. We're still trying to figure out. So, so Olivia's obviously pretty pregnant with the second one. So we're going to see just how she's feeling and what the temperature is because we didn't take back in last year. He would have been just over a year old. I kind of want to do it this year. But it might be too cold and he doesn't

really get the point yet. Maybe we wait. Maybe we wait one more year. Does he eat candy yet? Oh, no. Not yet. Yeah, yeah. Not yet. He does eat no brownies, cookies. Yeah. Will not touch Kate. It's very weirded out by ice cream.

Yeah. But no, no candy yet. Yeah, well, that's, yeah, then maybe, I mean, actually, that's the best time for you to go. That's what I said. Yeah. That's what I say it. Because I think that we officially made the decision that if we do anything, we're just going to go trick or treating, we won't actually, like, set the bowl out.

Because last year, we just did the set the bowl out thing because they get back to year old, trying to get him sleep trained in whatever. and for the most part, people behave themselves. Just take one or two. This would have been like half an hour into like the first wave of trick or treaters. And these three kids come in. We have a ring doorbell, which is the only reason we know this.

They just took handfuls and handfuls like poured the bowl into their pillow. Are you kidding me? Everyone else was doing it right. And you had to go ruin it for everyone else. Because that's the candy I was looking forward to his leftover. Like, no, mind now. Yeah. Now here's this.

And I've been, this has happened to me before. for. So I've strategically got a plan this year and we'll see if it works. I don't know if this makes me the bad guy, but I think it is going, we're trick or treating. We're going to leave out a bowl. We're giving out pretzels this year. Do you think kids like, even the kids that would take all the candy will take all the pretzels? They better not. I wouldn't think so, right? So I think I've, I've maybe found a way to leave the bull out and still give treats to everybody. And see, I respect that. I respect that move. Now, if everyone went pretzels, come on, what are you doing here?

Every so often, it's nice to have that change up. Yeah. Right. Oh, candy this, sugar, that, sweet that, rot your teeth there. You need the sweet and salty. You need the give and the take. I respect the Bakkvin family. Yes.

Yeah. For doing the pretzels. I appreciate it. Hopefully all the kids do as well. Well, if they don't bring them back to work, I got you. Yeah, there we go. And I've got this on, I brought this today. This is my, my, my soul mess.

I was trying to get everybody to go to, go to Spirit Halloween. One, because I used to work there, love Spirit Halloween. But number two, to get these like, gold mask, they're all like 10 bucks or whatever. They're cheapest things in there. I want tomorrow the USC blackout, not just to be the blackout. I want there to be a bunch of crazy Halloween people there. And I think there is going to be.

You know, we've already seen the, every week there's a brass game. You see like four T-Rexes in the crowd, all the runs of hats, all that. I think this week could be especially that. And I'm interested to see, too, this black uniform that can wear, this is, they've said this is going to be a yearly thing, right? So, yeah, I think part of it, that, you know, depends on how well today goes, though, right? I mean, they can scratch it if they need to or tomorrow goes.

If they win, this could really become a new fun tradition. Maybe they do center it a little bit about Halloween, always, you know, do a yearly blackout. And then I'm also interested in because they leaned all the way into the blackout part of it, but not so much into the black shirt part of it, which is more the reason why you could even do it to begin with. Otherwise, you're just Iowa State throwing out your school colors and wearing black all the time. And so I'm also interested to see, I don't know if they were kind of thinking, and USC is usually pretty good on offense. Maybe we shouldn't lean into the black shirt party.

If they would do that moving forward if they win this year too. It could be. I think that it's the high risk, high reward sort of strategy because what better way to prove that you are still blackshirt you in that tradition means something than shutting down, limiting, containing a high-powered offense. But then if it goes wrong, like you said,

well, what is that really? Have more egg on your face. Absolutely. What I wouldn't mind seeing, number one, I think Nebraska should be a helmet sticker school. I think especially for defense. Defenders will make a play. Absolutely agree with you.

Maybe not the full skull and crossbones, but at least crossbones. I was like just, did you remember when Georgia just did the bones? Yeah. I would just love bones. And I make a complete to agree with you. Just defense.

Just defense. That's fine. Or find something else for the offense to do. I have two different types of stickers because you're never going to get the Buckeye deal, like Ohio State. Right? It's never going to reach that level.

I like for the traditionalists, keep the offense clean. And I get it, but they already get, you know, the offense already gets a majority of the publication. So this could be a defense specific school, you know, that portion of it. And I think that would help in recruiting by a long shot.

And maybe, I don't know the NCAA rule on this. I would also say that moving forward for Nebraska, when the blackout becomes the tradition they want it to be, can you find a way that the defense, just the defense, gets like Steelers helmets where it's two different logos on one side? You can have the end on the left side

in the skull and crossbones on the right or something like that. Just to say, hey, this is defense. Hey, this is on your house. It's pretty cool. Now, Minnesota did that last week against Iowa, but it was the whole team.

One side was gopher, one side was an M. And that's what I'm, I'm, I'm worried about because I don't think you would want that for the offense. I got a bunch of USC things. Hey, there we go.

Walking by, hello. Welcome to Lincoln. Yeah. A little chilly. A little chill. Maybe they're from Northern California. Yeah, I don't know either. Anyways,

point being, I think it'd be really cool if just the defense could do that. But maybe that's against NCA rules. See, then my other. my other idea, and I like that one too, but my other idea is for,

you know how the turnover chain, all that sort of stuff was popular a few years ago, I would like for Nebraska to have the last guy to create a turnover gets to wear the bones, basically, the sleeves with bones on them. What do you think about that idea? You know, I really thought it was stupid

when we had the turnover props there for a while. I really hate in the NFL that every time there's a turnover, everyone has to run down to the end zone. I'm not the biggest, like, act like you've been there before, guys, especially if you haven't. But do we need the whole team? Do we need this whole, like, party going on? Cool, it's your job to take away the ball.

You did it, congratulations. Celebrate with yourself, your couple teammates coming off the field. You don't need to take the ball and run all the way down to the other end zone. No. That being said, I'm in favor of a Nebraska turnover prop. Whether it's what you're suggesting or whatever it would turn into. Right. I know Jay is on Nebraska don't need to be the cool school.

don't need to be all up and hip on everything, but that's just a little thing, right? That's not, oh, you're being too cool for school or whatever. So, sure, do the bones in the sleeves, or maybe just have a black shirt flag rolled up on the sideline that you swing in front of the fans behind the bench, whoever gets the turnover, something like that. I think that there's a lot of room for creativity that doesn't go above and beyond

that signifies something pretty cool. And I also get, like, somebody was kind of pointed out in the text line, too, like, okay, how well, sticking to tradition worked over the last 20 years. tradition in college football. College football is so much different than it was. It's just hard to even argue too much into that anymore. But we're up against. We'll better to take a quick break.

We'll come back with one more. Awesome might be here on one-on-one on 93-7 the ticket. Watch live on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch. You're listening to one-on-one with DP on 93-7 the tickets and the ticket FM.com. We are back here on one-on-one for one final segment. I am not King of the Hill after all. Austin staying in the building with me. We played with a draw.

That's right. Who doesn't love paying for an NFL football game and seeing a tie? Right. I still think that's the most ridiculous thing, that the NFL still does that here in the, in 2020. I would think they would change that by you. Would you, yeah, yeah, it's dumb. Just play till you have a winner.

Yeah. Go, go college rules if you have to. I don't care. I, and you know what? I'm actually, I was, I love the original college football football. playoff and or not excuse me overtime uh not the playoff i i didn't say that strike that for the record i'm a bccc guy uh but uh so is jeff landry

so is jeff lander's a bcs guy that's right he's a bowl championship our chances of making a bowl championship series a championship series game is not good like dude i'm not sure we're heading in the right direction i don't even know this guy's paying any attention uh but i i've had you warmed up to the two-point conversion off of college football's overtime or did you like the one that would stretch to seven, eight overtimes just based on if they'd get field goals or touchdown?

It's very similar to my feelings about baseball and that it's great theater if you're involved and you appreciate the game but I can understand maybe for casuals where it would drag on a little bit. I like the idea of having to put together a drive from the 25. I like the idea of having to put together

a full inning for baseball. But I get it. You want to move the game along a little bit. It can really drag on sometimes. And if you're not that investor, you don't care that much, it can get annoying to a point. So I would prefer no ghost runner or zombie run or whatever and not just the two point conversion off. But I'm not so staunch in that stance that I'm going to rail against it and hate it, I guess. Yeah. Yeah, I think I said, I'm warming up to it, but I think I probably still like the original. The problem with that, statistically would like throw things off.

You'd have, you know, old miss beaten Mississippi's where which games it was, but like 77 to 71. And at like the end of regulation, it was like in the 20s. And so it's just like, all right, well, that throws statistics off. But that's another thing that I just, I think is fascinating. Statistically, I know in the NBA, you might have seen this, that they're the launching the shots now is not counting as an individual category, you know, individual shot.

Here's the funny part about that, though. It does count as a blocked shot. Because I think it was either Janus or Scotty Barnes. I think that was the interaction. I think it was Janice or someone on the bucks blocked Scotty Barnes's heave attempt. So Scotty Barnes did not get the shot attempt. There's a team shot attempt,

but Janice got credit for a block. Well, good. So you can still get stats out of the shot. You can. That's good. But I just think that's hilarious in a sport where an assist is such an inexact science, right? Right. I mean, you can't look through it and say,

well, there's a lot of them that should have been assist. or some of them that we just like, I think you dribbled once or twice. That could be an assist. And so I just love how, like down, like we need to get this right. And then one of your major categories is just,

it's fact based. Don't get me wrong, but it's just like, it doesn't mean that you're better or worth it. Right. Yeah. And don't get me started on Michael Jordan's fake defensive player of the year award that we had to talk about a couple years ago.

That's still bad. Uh-oh. All right. Let's go out on that. I would, I wouldn't know another time about that. We are out of time. Adam Caraker coming up next year on 93.7.

The ticket.
