Back to one-on-one with D.P. Presented by Beatrice Bakery on 93-7 The Ticket and the Ticketfm.com. Welcome back, final segment of one-on-one. Again, Kent Wogamott from the Lincoln Journal Star. And I'll say this, free plug. If you haven't gone and found the article, the piece that he did on 93-7 the ticket, go find it. It's a pretty good read.

And I should be on journalstar.com somewhere at this point. Yeah. And, you know, we're doing it again. It's been an hour already. I keep saying it. I keep telling you that it's not enough time. It's not enough time.

But we were talking about over the break. You know, kind of a one-off, maybe once a month, once a week, once a week. Well, you go back and you pick a Husker game of note. And you take us back in time and break it down. Like what set it up, who the players were that were there, what the fan base was thinking, and why that game was so important. That actually sounds like absolute fun. And, you know, I guess fortunately or unfortunately, being this old, as old as I am,

I could go back to the Sun Bowl in 1969, I believe it was. And that was the game the year before they took. the run. They took the run and that game was key. Sets the table. There's always a table setter for greatness. It just, it's there. We miss them sometimes. And most people don't even think about that Sun Bowl game. So you may not even know about it. So then your next visit in, let's pick a day probably after the state basketball tournament. That'd be a good idea.

But let's pick a day and let's go through that. Let's go back to the Sun Bowl, 1969. All right. I think that would be pretty exceptional. I think that'd be pretty cool. So before I let you get out of here, again, thank you because there were people who had a lot of questions that were answered in the piece that you did. There are a lot of answers provided for folks. I was like, wait a minute. It's much easier to tell everybody at once to continually tell the story.

But journalism and media, these are not lost arts. There are some great storytellers who still exist, who paint the picture, they set the boundaries, and they give us direction and reminders. I wanted to say, you know, after meeting you, I went and did a deep dive and read as much of your stuff as I could. Uh-oh.

No, but here's the thing. Here's the thing. I'm an admirer of people who tell stories with heart attached. You don't distance yourself from what you write about. like you get to know you have skin in the game once the story is told and I appreciate that and I have mad respect for that

don't know why you chose me I don't know why you chose this station but you highlighted a lot of things that sometimes I forget about why we do what we do and it's important for you with your place in this community and your voice and your ability to tell stories for you to tell the stories that you do.

Like you're a placekeeper, you're now one of the elders with the stories that identify why things are important, but you're required and you're necessary. Well, thank you for that, but on your story, particularly, it's a story that needed to be told, okay? It's a, to me,

the stories that matter are one, that are about people that are engaging with the community in whatever fashion. It may be media. It might be sports. It might be politics. But that are doing it in a way that isn't just all about me, right? And that are doing it in a way that brings.

brings that they offer something to bring people in and bring people together and that's what you're doing with the station here and that's why I say it's pretty rare because I don't you know you don't see that a lot where somebody where it comes in and that kind of in almost philosophy I guess would be the way I'd say it behind it that's not common it's not common it's not it's just not you know that it's just it's just not common i just remember having people say this is why we love sports and to continually keep trying to highlight why we love sports and we love sports right like it's it's the thing and i i mentioned this uh to earlier, my mom, all right?

My mom is 93 years old. My mom loves sports. Maybe that's where I got it as much as anything. She's engaged. She, you know, volleyball, baseball. If it's Nebraska sports, she's going to watch it. She's going to follow it, okay? That,

weirdly enough it's a way to bond with mom even right well that goes we love sports Nebraska in particular it seemed I haven't lived in enough place I haven't lived in the places you have right

but Nebraska's it seems to me is even more so that way than a lot of other places and maybe I'm wrong on that but it sure seems that way What I know is we picked Lincoln, we picked Nebraska. The station and I, we picked each other. And now in the community. And I said, you are why we do this, because you are the great connector.

You make sense of it for me. And it's appreciated because it's not easy to do. But getting to know the young people, getting know the coaches, getting know the fan base, and then getting know the history. It's been engaging and enlightening, and you have been so helpful. And I, again, I'll say once again, thank you for what you do, what you've done, and what you'll do next. It's appreciated, kind sir. Thank you, sir, and we'll be back.

You and I at some point shortly. Yeah, we'll do this again. I hear music in my ears. I guess we're done. Yeah, you and I will do this again. Rico, thank you, kind sir. We'll hand it over to the captain for Sean Jackson. Up next, here on 937, the ticket.

Thank you.
