You're listening to one-on-one with DP. Sponsored by Beatrice Bakery on 93-7 the ticket and the ticket FM.com. Perfect pass by Rodriguez. Nebraska, with the upset on the road. Nebraska 3, Texas 1. Game set. I'm fascinated by the Nebraska-Texas relationship. I really am.

You guys are amazing to watch. There's so much venom. Like before I got here, I would have, I would have bet money that the bigger friction was between Nebraska and Oklahoma. But it appears that it's Nebraska and Texas. That's fantastic. I was like, wow. Okay. Didn't have that in the pool.

Didn't have that going on. Surprise. Maybe you guys can help me understand. that and I'll ask in the later show for you guys to explain that to me. Now feel free. You can explain it to me now on the text line. 424645685. Go ahead and hit me up and let me know what that is.

What is that about? What's up, Eric? He said, oh, man, we got a text dump. So that happened in a lot. Wow. What's up, Eric? Think about everything you just said. There's not one position on that team that you know what you're going to get.

Not good. Again, and I'm sure there's a plan. I just don't know what it is, right? I don't know what it is. I'm looking forward to finding out what it is. Hey, Dad. I'm the one walking the dog in your scenario. Well done.

Greatly appreciate it. Drumstick says, Mickey Joseph coaching Xavier Vets could be scary, not drinking the Kool-A, but Xavier is going to floor us from the new coaching. My hope is I'm rooting for everything good. Some of it will require some change of philosophy, change of work ethic, all those things in place. Sometimes the player has to step up too, and that's not just a bets thing. That's all of the guys who are returning. So there's that.

Texas and Missouri is awful too. Yeah, good. Taylor, that's a great reference. Game. Huskers. But you have to say it like Dave Chappelle and Prince. Game huskos. And then slowly descend.

What up, Dave, Pete? I grew up in Texas. This is a one-way street. Texas fans could care less about Nebraska. That's what I'm saying. I mean, I lived in Texas for five years and never once thought of Nebraska as a rival to Texas. Yeah. Yeah, Eric says, we ultra-super mega-loathe Texas.

Is that an envy thing? Is that a jealous thing? What is that? What is it? It was just getting away from them? What up, Kelsey? Texas ruined our confluence. Bleep those guys, putting that BS one second back on the clock, and 09 was the last straw.

ADP, Texas is the reason why we left the Big 12. Robuduct says, I'm only 25, and Texas was the bigger rival to me, the Big 12 championship game. They beat us, but I feel gold to win and forever left a bad taste in my mouth. Texas says this, just listen to the way the game was called, and that explains everything. Okay. So, and again, trigger alert, trigger alert. Just for those of you who felt, there seemed to be some argument or some feeling or narrative that the announcers were pro-tex. Texas against Nebraska.

But as I listened to it and listen back to it, I understood what they were saying, but didn't necessarily agree with the way they were saying it. Is that fair? And I think some of the acknowledgement and acceptance that Nebraska was outplaying Texas and in being slightly amused and intrigued by the talent on Nebraska's roster.

The love affair that those announcers had with Lexi Rodriguez, was valid and true. My good is gracious. As a matter of fact, I actually pondered why Lexi Rodriguez didn't win the MVP. And that's no shout out to shouting less to Nicola Ames. But I was like, man, the real energy source. So yeah, I didn't particularly catch that.

But that's just me. And, you know, you feel how you feel. Taylor says the hatred for Texas is rooted in the extra second and the fact that Texas was in charge of the conference. So here's the thing that we would talk about. And I was engaged in some of this changing of conference, changing of district sort of conversation. And often when those frictions happen,

they're the haves and the have-nots, or they're those who are in positions of power and then there's everybody else. but I would almost beg to say, you can correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Ohio State have more control over the Big Ten than Texas had over the Big 12? So much so that Texas could leave the Big 12.

I can't imagine Ohio State leaving the Big Ten. I can't imagine it. And the USC is the Pact 12 conference. So what I'm getting from the text line is that the one second thing really matter. Because there are seven people texting me that putting the one second back on the clock is the thing that makes everybody crazy.

Jason says that like Tony John, I can't say that on the radio. You know that. I can't say that. Jaron says, I think it's similar to our initial views towards Iowa. Media wanted to make Nebraska versus Iowa a rivalry and as we as a fan base didn't respect Iowa.

So we are Texas to Iowa. Hmm. That is another, that is another, space to dive into. Because the Iowa-Nabrasca thing seems to me that for the sake of all this, right? I mean, as much as we want to root against Iowa and boo them and wave the flag out of them and scream obscenities, they're having a better time athletically than Nebraska is in the big sports. So that's the thing.

See, my thing is this. I think if Nebraska spends more time worried about Nebraska and get Nebraska right, you don't have time to hate Texas or Iowa or anybody else. You're too busy handling your business and holding your cells accountable, our sales accountable for that, right? Right? If Nebraska handles its business, you don't have to worry about Iowa and anything because you have your own, right?

They have their own. And if you're spending your time focusing on Texas while you were in the Big 12, well, you were misusing your time in the Big 12. Don't focus on Texas, focus on Nebraska. Good programs, don't worry about what the other programs are doing. you're aware, but you certainly don't worry about it, and you certainly don't expend energy on it. The best way for all of this,

all this stuff can, can handle is to win. Texas says, so Alabama doesn't have a rival because they handle it alone. Alabama is everybody's rival. Alabama has no rivals. There's a difference. Right? Alabama is the game on everybody's schedule.

Alabama does not have a game on their schedule because they handled their business. It is a much bigger game to Auburn than it is to Alabama. Auburn needs Alabama. Alabama doesn't need to beat Auburn. It is a much bigger game to Auburn. They're the number two school in a state that they shouldn't be number two. Auburn should be a number one program in whatever state they're in. They're not.

They're not. Georgian Tech and Georgia don't have a rivalry. It's Georgia. Clemson and South Carolina do not have a rivalry. It's Clemson. Right? I mean, I think if you spend your time focusing on what everybody else is doing, what everybody else is getting, oh, my God, they get all the calls.

Oh, my God, they get all the scheduling breaks. Oh, my God. In the end, it simply states that you don't have faith that you can handle your business anyway. And, yeah, there's some sorts of disadvantage, but the reality is, go kick somebody's tail and you ain't got to worry about, you know, where the fight is. Be aware, but you're not worried about it. Like we're trying to move through it. Jeff says, what's up, DP?

What's up, Jeff? Losses to Texas cost Nebraska a national title in 96 and 99. Texas also cost Nebraska the longest home winning streak in the history of college football with a loss in 98. That is where the hatred comes from, from Texas beating Nebraska so much. Yeah. This is my point. Winning cures a whole lot. One of those famous sports adages.

There's nothing wrong that winning doesn't cure. Jumstick says the Big 12th championship loss is the equivalent of Baltimore. The game that shall not be mentioned. My apologies for even reading it. Sorry, Jumpstick. My bad. I get your point. Kelsey says, DP, even when we get it.

our crap figured out, I will always hate Texas. Again, F that school and that entire university. Okay. There's a lot of venom. There's a lot of venom directs north Texas. Nebraska, in the purest sense, because of all its resources, because of all of its history, because of all of its focus, Nebraska has the ability to be everybody's game. It was for three decades, right?

Nebraska was the game. It was the game that everybody else circled. It's the matchup that everybody worried about. Right? There are teams that change their entire programs to compete with Nebraska. There were programs that recruited specifically to beat Nebraska. So there is a means to it. I just think a lot of energy is spent in that space that, quite frankly, isn't this?

sir. But it was beautiful. It was glorious to watch the reaction to beating Texas on Saturday night. Glorious, especially in a big moment, bright lights, big stage, in their own building. One of the phrases that I would, whenever I was going on the road with the team and we were playing a big rival, we went through, right? We went through all of this space. And I tell them, I appreciate you inviting, inviting us. I appreciate you holding a party for us.

They think they're holding a party for themselves, but quite frankly, they're having the party for us. They're inviting all of their favorite people to their favorite space. They're going to get the best food they can get. They'll have the best beverages they can have. They will scream the loudest and celebrate the most, but in the end, I'm going to eat their food, drink their drink, take their best people,

them with in this case a go big red and be on my way with a huge smile on my face that's the right way to get all of this point there right that's a great point to get that when you handle your business a lot of this stuff doesn't matter a lot of this stuff uh from the text on quick tangent did you give a quick hold on here just got another text down thank you guys Quick tangent, did you give a quick synapsis of your background, D.P.? Thanks. Cutting Edge. Are there people who don't know what my background is?

If you guys want, tomorrow I will spend time going into it. Nick, I'll ask you, are there people who do not know my background? Oh, yeah. Really? I think so. Do you know my background? I do. Right.

I know a pretty good, pretty good amount. Right. Okay. I kind of write a 10-page paper on it, I'll be honest. I know a gist. Right, right, the gist of it? Okay. All right.

Good enough. Like I'm trying to figure it out, right? So do I need to spend time giving my background? Or is it redundant and repetitive to people who know? Okay. You could? Quick voting edge. Coach three sports, several levels, from Virginia outside of D.C., work for professional

college teams in D.C., Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Atlanta, and Salt Lake City. I lived in Houston before I moved here, also worked for a journalism. a journalism organization before I came to Lake in Nebraska. Right? So I get it, so I appreciate it. I just don't want to bore people with talking about myself that way.

Like people get bored enough with me name-dropping and telling people who I know and that sort of stuff. When appropriate, I will do that. But yeah, if you want to, look, you can go to loveprints. Dot U.S. There's a nice little bio.

L-O-V. people that right yeah so this is it from the text line so this is just be forewarned folks the text line is asking for me to to every so often give my background I'm a coach I'm a talker broadcasts play by play all over the country run sports camps for NFL current NFL players NBA players etc run camps all over the country If you need more, let me know. Let me know. Rico is dabbling with the pen here.

It is Tom, who also hates Texas. Okay, Tom, we're going to go to break. When we come back, we're going to take Tom. We're going to go to Honolinkin Hotline and talk to Tom. He wants to yell about Texas and we're going to let him. We'll have the dump button ready and alert because I have the feeling that, this Texas talk gets people all fired up. So we'll throw the break.
