You're listening to one-on-one with DP. Brought to by Canopy Street Market. On 93-7 The Ticket and the Ticketfm.com. Speaking of your villains. He's the top villain these days. John Cena. He doesn't suck, but it makes me boo. I'm from the text line.

TVV says Bill Romanowski was basically an anti-hero as a Bronco. and then a super villain as a raider, although some would say the opposite. Matt Mellon falls in that category of folks. Won a title as a Raider rookie, also won one as a 49er later in career. And you go, hey, boo that man. But he was your superhero.

Tulane Tanner says, Callahan worked his bleep-off. Plus he, you know, Calan's huddle, thousand plus jobs. No way should it be Callahan. Old Dad 34 says Steve Peterson might get drowned in the dunk tank because all the people in line. 2563 says Peterson because of the domino effect.

Dirty Tony boys, good to hear y'all on here, says Sam Keller. I think that's interesting. I think it's very interesting. Dave Braska says, Perlman extended Peterson, who then extended Callahan. Pearlman was allowed to retire. hire and teach at the law college. Bach, what say you about that? Yeah, I mean,

Harvard Probin was behind a lot of the decision making, you know, kind of during the 2000s, even moving Nebraska to the Big Ten. So, you know, it wasn't, it wasn't a great tenure. And so a lot of people will kind of say him because he did, he hired, you know, a lot of these athletic directors, the moves that didn't work out. So, I mean, I think he could certainly put him up there. He gave me a snow day, though, one day that I wasn't expecting when I was at the university. So I have a soft spot for her. Off what you would sell out for the snow day He sent the personal emails

You're gonna sell out Husker Nation for a snow day Bro, Hey y'all, y'all need to know who Bach is Snow days are big deal Bach is a super villain in private I'm just letting y'all know He would sell you all out for a snow day For one snow day

Not a week, not several A snow day Bach just let you know Riley says this I'm giving all the kids money to dunk trap which I'm not surprised. Money Gene Kansas says this, says give Peterson scuba gear.

He's going to need it. 4-251 identified all kickers, kickers as villains. And yeah, Kupsker says Treb made himself a villain by going to A&M. And you're not wrong. You're not wrong. Does Bill Moose deserve a tank?

I don't think so because I think, again, you go back to the Frost Hire, I argued at the time. It doesn't really matter. Remember, because the athletic director job was open. It's like, it doesn't matter who it is as long as they as long as they land Frost. Frost was such an obvious move coming off coach of the year, going undefeated at UCF that.

But what if Frost said that he didn't want to be here? He didn't want the job. And you hired him anyway. Well, and the job was still trying to get him here. Again, that was the A plus hire of the office. It's stuff to go back. And I, in hindsight, see, it's not hard. See, this is the part of sports talk that drives me crazy.

It's not hard to go back in retrospect and say there were red flags all over the place. The next time there's an undefeated, the next time there's a coach of the year that's undefeated that led Nebraska to a national championship, I wouldn't let this Scott Frost experiment burn you. I mean, that means you didn't learn. Such an obvious. Repetitive bad behavior, Bach. There's a definition for it. But it's not the same. There's nothing out there on a resume that's going to guarantee it's going to,

it's going to work at the next spot. No, that's why. You don't repeat it. You missed the red flags. You didn't go. No, no, no. You don't go hire the... That's what a lot of athletic directors will do.

Go hire the opposite. And then you get in the same... Then you get in this kind of circular motion of keep hiring the opposite of what your previous... How about you hire the best person, no matter whether they're an alumnus or won a national title for you? How about you choose somebody that can lead your kids?

How about you hire somebody that makes good sound decision? How about you hired the best person for that situation just because they're the best coach available? Not because they fit conveniently into lowest common denominator, Nebraska-Izing the job search. Because there are all the reasons why it didn't work. He was like, again, he was literally the national coach of the year. Now, you get the relative to who? Only you get took UCF undefeated. Is UCF Nebraska?

No. That's my point. You took. This is the part of it that makes my head hurt. It's the job of the athletic director to go beyond the fandom and to go beyond the lowest common denominator and have some. Just because it doesn't, didn't work. Doesn't mean it's the lowest common denominator. To hire the coach of the year that went undefeated. What was his record here? He was awful here. What was his record here? Something like 13 and 27 or something like. Is that, is that, is that the lowest? Is that as low as Nebraska should have,

Nebraska should never be that long? Is that fair? Is that fair? Yeah. Nebraska should never be what it was under Scott Frost. Is that a fair statement? Absolutely. And there are reasons for that, right? Yeah. And those reasons aren't red flag enough to say that the decision making process was bad.

It was wrong. I don't know. Just, I'll stick on my side. I, I, I'm fully engaged in it. love that. We'll go, we'll talk about sports villains. Who are Nebraska's opponents? So we'll go outside the house. As Nebraska fans, and Bach, you talked about Big Ten officials, you've talked about Texas. But I want to know from the fans, from the listeners, who are the people, who are the people outside the program who are Nebraska's biggest sports villains? Whether it's a moment, right,

that they won a game. Like Colt McCoy comes to mind because he made a play that quite frankly helped change the direction and level of Nebraska football. Texas is always a villain. Always the villain. Oklahoma, always the villain. Who are the biggest, greatest Nebraska sports villains will get your take when we come back. Download our app by searching 93.7.
