Hey, what's up y'all? Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. My favorite thing about the holidays? Decking out my whole house. It's not a competition, but if it was, well, I'd win the season with Wayfair. Outdoor inflatable Santa? Got it on Wayfair. Trees, lights and ornaments? Wayfair. Hosting must-havs, like dining sets, beds, sheets, and towels. Wayfair. For everything in your style delivered with fast and free shipping, visit Wayfair.com or the Wayfair app to win the season. But again, it's not a competition. Coming at you live from the heart of Lincoln America, a 93-7-a-ticket and the ticketfm.com. Here is your host, Derek Pearson, brought to by Canopy Street Market. It is 801 in the city. Who, 33 degrees.

Possible snow starting. Yeah. Yeah, Mother Nature fooled me last night. I don't know how your walk home was, but it was still howling for about, probably like, it was closer to 1 a.m. when I left. It was tough. It was tough. It was tough, especially we'd get to under the bridge. Oh, yeah. Yeah, pretty crazy.

It was tough. There were some people who were out and about last night for whatever reasons. There were some students that were still out, and they were curled up under the building waiting for it to calm. a little bit and it just never did they were waiting for a chance to run um and get out of it and i was just like no this is kind of what we're doing tonight boys and girls yeah it's not going to stop anytime soon um and it it good 45 minutes into the evening it was still it was still rolling so you know we said the storm was you know a change of weather was happening well there it is um you know i'll try to get out of here in the morning 6 a.m uh to try to get out of

that's your that's your flight 6 a.m. Well she's got an afternoon surgery and we've got some other stuff that I have to help take care of so yeah you know it it's it's kind of the thing um to get in to one to make sure I can get in so I would rather go early so that if delays happen I fall at the front of the queue and not the back of the queue and trying to play catch up that's fair especially with the way travels have gone I've been this has got to be the worst year when talking to athletes and coaches with travel. Like, it has been a nightmare for a lot of people. Yeah, I mean, it's like, you know, you shorten the staff, you cut the staff, and you make all these

excuses. It's lame that they couldn't just leave it alone. Yeah. Like it was working and you just wanted to make it complicated and you did. Then you shut it down and made it worse. And then bounce back is that people were out of loop and still not up the numbers and not up staff. Hey, by the way, you're sitting us up in the air with other two-ton missiles. Yeah. But hey, no big. Oh, good. No big deal. We don't need a lot of hands on. No, no big deal. Do your thing. So then you just learn to adjust and try, like I said, you learn that if I'm going to, if I'm going to air, I'm going to air up front. Like, I'm going to book early and then if you get pushed.

back for two hours. I'm not bothered. Well, I'm bothered, but at least I have some way of getting back. We were trying to make plans for Kansas City. By the way, please remind me tomorrow to get your credential.

Yeah. Are you comfortable driving the van? Yeah, I mean, I've driven before. Okay. So, well, you're going to try to Canton City back. I've been to Kansas before. My Jeep's dimensions aren't just to make sure with that. We'll book those things.

I'll come back Monday. I'll watch volleyball. There is a Husker Club in D.C. There's a Husker, D.C. Club that's getting together to watch volleyball. As a matter of fact, I need to shout them out. Remind me to shout them out in segment two to find that. So I'll be watching that Monday, Friday and Thursday and Friday and Friday and Sunday. And then, yeah, the Sunday game is probably the same time as the commander's game.

Whoops, a didly. Whoops a didly. You have to make do. Be fighting for a sports bar somewhere to put that up. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see how that, yeah, the DC Huskers, they have their watch parties. They have their watch parties. They're going to be, let's see, at sports and social.

Nice. Sports and social. 13, 14, U Street, Northwest D.C. I know exactly where it is because Becky and I went there to watch a football game with the Huskers two years ago. A little bit of nostalgia. Today is exactly, it's six years. on the dot six years six years uh 2019 i went on air for the first time with connor happened this is only six years in six years i mean i i say that because that's crazy we did a lot

a lot's happened in six years there's no there's no doubt about that um but yeah i got you know the i got the social media reminder that yeah uh it was i need to pull the picture because it had the picture attached to it because I posted that day that I had the honor of being on air in Lincoln, Nebraska. And my friends, a lot of my friends, didn't know what was going on

and didn't know that I was moving to Lincoln and didn't know that I was. And I didn't really know at that moment. It wasn't until the Thursday before that I knew that I was going to go on. I went on with Connor. And then we met over at the old, Chicago

pizza place. Oh, yeah. Old Chicago. It's just the old Chicago. Old Chicago. We met over there and I met with Mark, Connor, Tom Stevens. And it was literally to kind of figure out what we were going to do with this thing.

Like what do you do with? What do we do with this guy? Because somebody had to take me on with him. And Connor was not. Yeah. That, well, You know, we did, we did a couple of test runs, and it would have worked just fine. At least in my mind would have worked fine. Connor had a very specific show in mind and how he did it and Tom had a very specific way of how he did sports radio. But Tom was the one that that night, he said, okay, let's do it.

Let's do it. And it was almost like, okay, screw it. Like it was. Shout out, Tom, Steve. Right, right. So I had a boy, Thomas. but the following week in a trial run just to kind of see what what it was going to be and how it was going to play out it was almost yes that at yep wow I got the picture sure enough

sure do and of course i i certainly didn't help situations by misspelling his last name i called him connor happened but i think that was more typo than than anything else but i certainly wasn't going to uh to endear me um of course he's there i and and this is the thing i wanted to explain to people that i was already following in the huskers so my first day on air i had plenty of husker of year like i was i came ready are you talked about that one of speeches the game of the century up in virginia watching it yeah this wasn't new to me um just to kind of find out what the what the new temperature of of nebraska or lincoln sports was going to be um and then to do a couple shows with connor i did uh one with ryan tab

i did one with tab just to see whether the two new guys what that was going to be but that you know that never works with tab huh never worked with tab tab's brilliant tab could be a start tab could have been the future of the sport of the business but i just you know tab comes from a different place different uh

makeup for it um and then they made the mistake of putting tab with happer which no because tab's very data based and very opinionated and it just wasn't gonna

it wasn't gonna go well but also he's a california kid and he came here right before COVID. And so imagine you know, you're just out of college and you're living on your own and you're struggling, you're not making much money and you're, it's COVID. So all the reasons why you would want to do it

not good enough reason. For me, it was enough. Like, that's not why I was doing it. And I tell the story, I laugh all the time because when I first got, I've always done, I've moved around. So I'm familiar with being in those spaces. But I made a point that when I got here, was going to ride the bus.

I wanted to ride the bus because I don't think people in their towns know their towns like the people on the bus. The people who ride the bus know all the corners. Hey, what's up y'all? Kelly Clarkson with Wayfair. My favorite thing about the holidays, decking out my whole house. It's not a competition, but if it was, well, I'd win the season with Wayfair. Outdoor inflatable Santa got it on Wayfair. Trees, lights, and ornaments.

Wayfair. Hosting must-havs like dining sets. beds, beds, sheets, and towels, Wayfair. For everything in your style delivered with fast and free shipping, visit Wayfair.com or the Wayfair app to win the season. But again, it's not a competition. Wayfair, every style, every home. Like they know all the corners, light and dark, right?

To know what that is, they will let you know, hey, bro. But my car is out of commission. I'll take that boss. During COVID, it was free too. And I took it from right over here. Same. The one day I got dropped. Yeah.

Getting dropped over here. You see different parts of the city. There was a coffee cafe at the time on the corner. There's like a coffee shop. I just saw a dude and wearing a thick puffer coat in 70 degree weather. Oh, that's crazy. Listen, listen, COVID. That was the time.

Changed a whole lot of stuff from me. Because I'm pretty, I'm pretty open, right? And riding the bus and you would find out, like you would find out, that there were care centers and medical centers and people who were riding the bus weren't necessarily having the best of times, right? Now that there was one guy who knew you on the bus.

He must have been on there with him at one point because I told him about the ticket. Really nice guy, but you could tell he was, he's had better days. Yeah, well, you go through it. But that was the thing that it was all humbling to me. I mean, there are people that asked, like, why would you do that?

Like, it's a weird thing to say that you're a radio host and then but you're riding the bus for whatever reason for whatever conflict of images and that's i've never understood yeah i mean you're too good for those people like that's what that says well you're never too good well a lot of it's the city in the space that you're in because in like in dc everybody rides the metro uh-huh now they may not ride the metro bus but they will ride the metro train and there's a little difference between riding the train and riding the the metro bus that runs through the cities um but same thing they're literally these same people um and dealing with bus fare and that sort of thing of course

it was during the winter like i got here in december yeah it's tough time like to be oh oh oh like a different kind of cold different kind of wind yeah the wind's how long uh to go through that and then it would it would drop you that it would pick you up here uh off of o and it would take you all the way down to 48th, 44th. Yeah. And so then I would, I would get off at that little mini mart. There's like a gas station convenience store. And you would get off there and then you would walk to 48th and O that little corner. And depending on the type of day and time of day, sometimes you just take the back alley over there. But again, this was December. There was tons of snow that December January. So that walk wasn't ever really pleasant. That's why I can't really worry about complaining

much about this walk. Because that walk, that walk was a, was a beast compared to this one. This one's, you know, there's a slight, you know, incline as you go under the bridge. But it's a straight shot. Still four blocks, but okay, you'll figure it out. Someone, though, makes you love getting home that much more. When you have to do it, when you have to go through the elements oh my goodness and and and i mean the best part is that it wasn't first thing in the morning and it wasn't late in the afternoon so i could kind of middle of the day it and then you know god bless tom stevens he was just like why are you taking the bus i was like i don't mind like i don't mind and you know it led people to ask a lot of questions like well you know

like the new guys ride the bus i'm like well i mean how else am i going to know the city how do you meet the people. How do you learn seeing things and be curious and go, okay, I'm learning the city as much as I can learn it. Um, I just like, why am I going to pay an Uber? It's free. Well, and I wasn't really, but I wasn't in the Uber game at the point. Like I wasn't, you know, and certainly Uber introduced me to a whole lot more of the city. That's some Uber guys. And that's a new DP. Right, right. There were a lot, like, it was funny because you get in the car. And they'd start talking, right? you know, and, you know, they weren't sure because it's not like I've been around much.

And at that moment, people weren't really, we weren't streaming video. No, not yet. So every now and then, like, so Big Brian, you know, the security guy for Pinnacle Bank Arena, one day I walk into PBA and I walk in and I've got on. It's snowing, but I've got on cowboy boots of jeans and a coat. And I'm walking in. And he goes, who is this guy walking in here? Like, he's the man.

And he goes, that has to be the new guy, D.P. That has to be that radio dude. So he literally came up to me. And he was like, hey, I don't mean to bug you, but are you like the radio guy? Are you? I was like, what radio guy? Like, you know, not like at the time, there was a whole lot to misidentify me with. I mean, on there, there, it was, it was Connor, Mark, Rico, Bach, Tom.

Sainert, or is he? No, Sainert was, was, was, was an intern. He was after that. He may have been the intern. I think, yeah, because he was right there as an intern right before you were, right? No, because he was, who was right before you? Ethan Petrick, great guy. Yeah, Ethan was right before you.

And then before Ethan, there was somebody else. Yeah, that's where I don't know. there was somebody else but there wasn't i mean there were literally eight people who worked at the station and i you know a lot of us do the interns at that point were doing it for free yeah i mean i was waking up at 5 30 which is my explaining to people that okay i'm that was not going to be um i always told the new interns i'm like yeah i set the standard no you y'all have it no really i mean because he's the peteric did he's the what ethan petrick did for me helped me set it up uh that was a good one too when you get

two interns that understand the gig, which has some of our new ticket talent here. Well, but it also, I mean, they need to be reminded that it's an internship. And you're not entitled to anything. You're not even legitimately in the space. You're an outlier. But my thing was, I still wanted dignity. I wanted you to get used to putting value to your work. And so when you show up, you know, let's get you money.

And to say that if you'll have money, then maybe you shouldn't be running the station, but okay, that's a whole different conversation. And then, of course, you know, then as a matter of fact, the interns were making the same amount of money I was. And once they start getting paid.

Once they start getting paid, we've made the same money. So minimum wage? Yes. Yes. My first year. My first year at the ticket, I made minimum wage.

That's crazy. As a matter of fact, my first two years. That'd be like 30,000 a year. My first, oh, not even that. It wasn't. 286, 28? Yeah, it was, it was. I don't know what minimum wage.

Well, no, because I mean, it was like 10, 25 or 10.50. Okay. And I was working two hours a day. I was working two hours a day. They would pay you for three because you were prepping, right? Or whatever that. I kind of explained that to them that. Not that you needed the money, but.

No, but I mean, you go through. And I knew that I was fighting not only for precedent sake. uh but just for basic fairness of other people because however you were treating me is how you were treating tab and the interns like y'all are getting it worse i mean you know i mean not for nothing again it's not like you were getting fed um you got whatever you know people brought into to the early break but early break wasn't this early break no they've they've gotten massive the streaming game really changed a lot of that well but that was the thing like explaining that why aren't we why don't we turn cameras on was that your idea oh yeah like why don't we turn

cameras on brilliant move oh no like i always wondered you know well the they asked and i i said you can do it from you can do it from from your laptop and you can just set up because back in those days we had a camera that we set on top of the laptop yeah well you had that one guy back when you were calling basketball. Yeah. Really break that. Yeah. Jared Bronson, you know, shot him out for net,

net link services. He could have made a lot of money. He probably did make a lot of money. But he was a he was a ranger. Like he had a whole other stuff going on. Okay. Just a brilliant dude. Yeah, he was a brilliant dude.

He also didn't need it. But I mean, he, think about this, that this guy, you know, he's minding his business doing software and coding. And this guy shows up and says, I need to be able to broadcast. off laptops and he goes oh well tell me what you're trying to do like what do you broadcast now off now and he goes so i just need to get these components onto a laptop onto an app onto a laptop and then we'll figure out all the streaming and all the plugins and how do you do all that stuff and that's what we call that era that's a wizard the guys that i understand the coding and you see them today

they're running major companies and have a lot of money but that it was a rare gift to see that as like the next step well i mean and he traveled he traveled with the team but it wasn't that big a deal because before us the broadcast teams were you know eight nine people it was just two of us like i called a one-man broadcast and then he was the whole production staff and yeah he would have a producer back at the radio station because we figured out how to send the signal back to a radio station. And again, you know, in 2001, it wasn't really happening like that. As a matter of fact, the jazz weren't doing it.

And so, and then we sent all of our listeners to the website, to the team's website. Team probably loved you. Oh, well, that was the whole thing. But they were the only team, we were the only team in the league that was doing it. so the league then hired me to do that for the league and I became the official voices of the league and then I did all of the you know I was doing nix ain't at work or I you know I called the whole like I would call the Utah games and then I'd be hired to go and and call other games and then I called the entire playoffs and all the way to the championship and it was just me and I

the funny thing was is that I made it all the way uh to the final four Ratchie to New York and made it all the way to the final four. And my buddy, who was also kind of a broadcast intern, he goes, man, this is like, what game is it for you this season? So the team had 30, and I had done another 15 or so, plus all the ones of tournament leaving up to it. And I said, yeah, this is number 50, you know, just kind of joking. He's like, man, 50 games and no, no voice issues, no electronic.

Honey and Tea? Yeah, like I was on it, right? Veterim moves. But of course that night, my voice said, thanks for shouting me out,

but bro, we're taking them. And, oh, my voice was done. Although I finished it, I called the final three games and got through it.

It was a lot. And shout out to Jared Bronson because he, I mean, he went everywhere I went. Have you had him on here before? Uh-huh. Yeah,

because I wanted to just, to thank him for it because there's no way it happens without him yeah i just want to pick his brain yeah it was pretty remarkable i'll call him and get him in one of these yeah to see it before everyone else i'll have to catch him before he his next trip before he's like scuba diving off the aisle of malta or wherever i'm getting a good idea what type of dude this is whatever whatever whatever space he's in uh whatever magnificent thing he's doing but yeah through all of it that that if I'm not doing, if I don't do that, like, that's how the Clippers find me. That's how, you know, the University of Utah gets me in the door.

This is how the Utah Jazz didn't have to fight for me. This is how other sports teams. I mean, we were doing in high school. We were doing high school football, that high school sports that way. That hadn't been, that wasn't been done at the time. So as a matter of fact, high school, like, we had, so we were the kind of the hub. So we had our radio station, ESPN, and Fox Sports, all under the same umbrella.

And we had a producer who ran, so imagine that is ESPN. So our production suite is ESPN. And the podcast studios, Fox Sports. And so we had interns and producers who would literally, many folks were these, these were 12 hour days, were there and there, you know, just programming, you know, Dan Patrick or whatever, whatever was going. going on. And then in the big studio, we were live local as the jazz, Utah Jazz flagship.

And this is where we pulled in those both, like one is now the voice of the Anaheim Angels. One is now the voice of the Colorado Rockies. Another is the voice of the Utah state agis. So they made it. Oh, yeah. That was, you know, and I tease them all the time. I'm like, you're the big boss now, but when I found you, you were in a booth. You were over there in the second booth. But we then took our sales guy, he and I were having lunch, and he was asking about ways to generate more revenue. And I said, well, we don't do high school football enough. Why don't we just become like somebody's flagship station and carry all their games? And he said, well, how would we pay for it? I'm like, well, they've got game programs. We can go

and we have a whole sales staff here for seven radio stations. Like, I think you, you, you You guys know how to sell. Yeah, you can put some stuff together. Um, so we went to, we had to decide and we went to, uh, the biggest, so their version, Salt Lake's version of Lincoln Pires, uh, which is Skyline High School, which is their kind of their Notre Dame knockoff, high powered football program. We went to them and we said, we'd like to broadcast all your games on our station. And they're like, well, what's it going to cost us? And we said, nothing. You know, like, we're in.

We're in. I was like, cool. He goes, well, how does this get paid for us? I was like, we'll sell it. We grabbed one of their game programs. We made 60 calls. We got 24 yeses. We sold it so quickly that we were stunned.

Stung. What I imagine it's easier to sell in the local content, though? Well, stunned. That we generated 30,000. And this is 20 years ago. We generated $30,000 to broadcast high school football. And he and I were in the car, and we literally were just, you know, shaking hands and high-fiving.

And I said, well, why don't we do that on ESPN? Why don't we offer that to somebody? He goes, you think we, so we picked another school. we picked we you know it's it's supernovers I'm like who's gonna be really good like I I want this you want to follow a good season like I wanted to be really good because nobody wants to call bad football yeah right

and so I said oh hunter high school hunter high school hunter high school hunter high school is Omaha west side um the valley you know a lot of big Polynesian players and families we go out there we offer the same deal six days later we had we generated another 30,000 dollars and then we're looking I'm looking over at the podcast studio I'm looking at it and he goes no I'm like yeah yeah he goes well who's gonna call these games I said well I'll pick one Alan Hando pick one Scott Gerardo pick one I said and

then we'll use the rest of the talent he goes okay well we got to have producers I said we just made $30,000 on each of these you know put $3,000 for an intern to broadcast 12 football games. He's happy. Like, he's good. So we go and we go to the top Catholic school in Salt Lake City, Juan Diego, all the money, right? It is, it is not like pious. It is their pious. $30,000. We generate $90,000 in a matter of 14 days. And off she wrote and and here's what's funny that year all three teams won the state three for three all three like if you know me you know that i i can pick a winner yeah yeah we kind of got we we got into it i think yeah god just didn't give you the gambling

bug for a reason yeah i mean that's that'll be broken that's why i don't that's literally why i don't I mean, because they had, I'm going to tell you, they, I mean, literally they had do-doos. Like their tailback ended up being, Ray Asiata, they played for the Minnesota Vikings. Offensive tackle, I mean, BYU, Utah was all over this, all over these guys. So, yeah, we kind of paid attention.

And it did very well. great football, by the way. We'll get you an update on the Huskers when we come back. We'll go forward to break one-on-one here on a Wednesday night. AJ Fry, we'll be back next week. We just got that information. So he'll be back next week and they'll take you up to North Carolina. When North Carolina comes to town to face the husband.

It's a good one. That's a good one. That's a good one. So a lot's going on. Don't go anywhere. Retired of 21. Be right back. You're listening to One-on-One with D.P. Brought you by Canopy Street Market on 93-7 the tickets and the Ticketfm.com. Welcome back, you know, on a game night. PBA's rocking.

Good to see the fan base react and respond to this. Huskers are playing well. 2722 640 mark first half and I need to pull the in full I want to see the pull down numbers for the stats because Wisconsin was one of eight from three

yeah just quick team comparison when you're pulling that up Huskers are shooting 52% from the floor and then 33% from the three point line Wisconsin meanwhile is 33% from the floor are partially responsible because they're three of 15 from a three point line shooting at a cold 20%. Yeah. And so the world says that the numbers will balance because that's what the averages are in accumulation of your good and bad. So if you start off really bad, you're going to get high and balance it out. Nebraska only taking 9-3s. That's a bit, I'm slightly surprised by that.

But I'm good with that. Only three turnovers, which is a good thing. Five assists to three turnovers. I'll accept early in the game, but it should be better. And some of that is shot making along the way. Two turnovers for Wisconsin, six assists. So they're doing three to one, and their assists, they're just not shooting the ball well.

And then a number that matters to me that Nebraska is winning the battle on a board, that they're up, they're plus two in rebounds. And that is an important deal along the way to figure out how they're playing and caliber of what they're getting from it. Seven fouls is too, too many for the way that they're playing and how they're doing. Hoyberg leads the Huskers with seven points. Rink mass with five rebounds. DeMarcus Lawrence lead them with two assists.

Jacobs upon the floor, Frager, Garcia, Bear K. So they've done the rotational thing and gotten people on the floor, but the Huskers, Wisconsin is trending poorly. They're over their last seven, but then they're at the free throw line. Over the last seven, one of their last 10, zero field goals in the last five months.

minute. Ish. Got some free throws at least. But what, but what that means is that Nebraska's lead should be extended. Mm-hmm. But now you're in the place where you hold, you hold,

you hold court here and then you get on a run in the final four minutes. Something Nebraska has been really good to get at to this point is to finish, start and finish those four minute intervals. If you ever talk basketball with George, Jay Foreman, he'll talk about the four minutes. at a time and kind of separating how you proceed and then winning the four-minute

battles and then that four-minute before the half, four minutes coming out of the half will be vital. But the crowd showed up and that is a good thing. I was watching some of the other Big Ten games in the earlier time slot. It's always cool to kind of measure. This is a deep Big Ten. this is a big this is a deep big 10 like there's no um you know Michigan Michigan State are both legitimate contenders Purdue those three I think are heading a head and shoulders above everybody

else would that be fair I think so right and although I produce weird I mean when they they got the break they were off by Iowa State but they looked good they were dominant tonight they've only had one game in that Iowa state game where they looked not to the part. But they play how they play. And there's a lot to be said for teams that have that sort of discipline because it means you don't get out over your skis. And a lot of teams, especially early in the season when you're trying to set an identity, you know, and identify who you are to people, they get out out over their skis. The Big Ten is a conference. where you get measured and re-measured on a regular basis.

Like, it is never, I can settle in. Yeah. And just say, well, this is who I am and this is what we do. Purdue, with an 85-57, went over Minnesota. And this was a balanced attack. I mean, they put up 85 points. And here's the thing that bothered me was how much better they were defensively. than

told. Purdue? Purdue was much better defensively than credit was given. Like I, that, that, their ability to score a ball, different levels, all three levels,

that's one thing. But if you're going to tell me that Purdue's going to defend now and they're going to defend the, the perimeter, I'm not. I think you've been seeing that last year, though, they're pretty good perimeter defense.

I'm not, I'm not looking forward to that. like go to go to your corner like i don't want i don't want to deal with that michigan too i've been michigan looks well i mean like a really good team to start the year that i think we have a pretty late in the season but i think that's going to be the team in the big 10 that everyone's going to be chasing for a while here well but then you have to ask the questions how does that happen like i this is where i get in trouble because oh so current just with games based on the big rankings, wins and losses in the Big Ten rather than across the season, that Oregon hasn't won a game. Rutgers, Northwestern, Maryland, Penn State have not won games in the Big Ten.

Nebraska, of course, hasn't won because they haven't played. Yeah, some of these teams, I'd imagine, I don't know if they've all had to. But then it, and remember, I'm just going to, you know, it's amazing how many people get bothered when I say this, but the theory of thirds works. that that bottom six in the Big Ten and is currently in hoops, it is accurate to tell you where you are and who you are. It's accurate to say that if we set at the top of this thing, that the top five are all ranked in the top 25.

And if you add it Nebraska to it, then that's your six. That's your top third. that does not include tonight's opponent, Wisconsin, who's 1 and 0 in the Big Ten. In the middle of the pack, Huskies, Washington Huskies, Minnesota, Golden Gophers, U.S.C. Trojans, Iowa, Indiana, Ohio State. That's the middle.

That's the middle third. And then the bottom third. And it plays out to you as simple as you can say it. The bottom five, The bottom five, the bottom four have either four or five losses overall. There's only one team in the Big Ten that currently has a losing record overall, and that's Oregon at four and five. Everybody else, Rutgers is five and five, Northwestern's five and four,

Maryland's five and four. Penn State is eight and two. Ohio State's seven and two. Hoosiers eight and two, Hawkeyes, eight and one. Trojans 9 and 1, and then Minnesota at 5 and 5. Then you get into the top of it, the top third of the middle third. Wisconsin at 7 and 2, Washington Huskies at 6 and 3. Above that, it's 0, 1, 2 losses in the upper 3rd.

And that's how you start to identify that. My goodness, this conference is once again a meat rider. And I don't know that we know if Purdue's better than UCLA. They're just different. They're different. Michigan and Michigan State and then Illinois. And then everybody else. And in a perfect world, ideally, the other top 25 team is Nebraska.

And they belong in the top. Like, I want to give us credit for that, that our play, the play to get you to 23rd, the country, should qualify to put you but if you win tonight you're in the top third anyway yeah 100% right so what's in front of you they're on a run

timeout on the floor 4031 Huskers lead for the last five got the rhythm back a little bit you're not supposed to give those numbers Harrison it's a jinx it's a jinx I'm not that type of dude stop it I don't buy into that jazz you just jinx in the Huskers listen cards and letters to Harrison

Arndt that's A-R-E-N-S Harrison Orange at the ticket. If he if he apping in here is not change the work then boys put in. Look you you guys listen you know Crash Davis was was a philosopher. You tell you never messed with the street.

If they're playing well, then you just keep doing it. You never don't change. You don't change seats. You don't change what you're doing. Don't change what you say to yourself. Let the winds happen. Leave the streak alone. Harrison Arndes 221.

40 O Street. To play lose, you can write me there. Don't say that because I'll be here late and I don't want to have deal with rooms on fire, man. I don't have to deal with that. 220 left in the first half. Huskers up by 9 with order to break. Come back and set you up for Chris Raff and DeMornais-Kisnell.

Austin Ormond will also join us. Welcome back. And then late night and Lincoln. So we'll cover it all for you over the course of the next three hours plus. you're listening to one-on-one with dp brought to by canopy street market on 937 the ticket and the ticket fm.com yeah every now and then you go back in time and I want to test my memory right um 109 left in the first half on my clock and the huskers have gone on a run um they currently lead 4731, just under the minute mark. It's a great last four minutes talked about.

Well, it is It is vital and important to how you finish. It allows you that when you're tired to be more disciplined than your opponent. That you're at your most tired at the end of a quarter and you're more likely to start and do something silly at the start of a quarter. So those four minute intervals is how you reset, redirect, reroute. If something's working,

you have to not only celebrate that it's working, but then put in the next thing, right? Because if I'm running pick and roll and I'm dishing off the roll, they're going to adjust. So my adjustment to that is, we're going to pick and roll, dish to the soft, but I need you to jump stop

because they're going to slide another defender at you, feel the pressure, wherever the pressure comes from, when you jump stop, hit the shooter in the corner or hit the shooter, the rules are the same for football and basketball. When you feel pressure, that pressure had to come from somewhere, attack where that pressure came from. And if somebody's going to trap you, it can't be in two places. So if they run at me from the left wing, my shooter in the left wing has his 10 toes down,

locked and loaded, and we're going to have a plan for it. And that's how you determine how you're going to do. Drink mask was on a heat check. I mean, he tried a 40 footer. That thing almost went down too. They go to the half, up 16. The number 23 ranked Nebraska Huskers leave 4731. And PBA, C of Red, go crazy.

That place is awesome when the Huskers are good. You saw it with the volleyball team, obviously, when they had their game in there. When the basketball teams are rolling, too, PBA is one of the better venues. Yeah, it was a death trap for Big Ten teams. Oh, one of the best home records. Especially good Big Ten teams. A tough place to come and play. And I'm not surprised that for places like Oregon, USC, UCLA, Maryland, Penn State.

But when the middle of the country, when the big Purdue teams number one in the country, when they come in and struggle, that speak. volumes. Especially when Purdue's got, they're one of the best home crowd environments. They know what it's like to have a vault that's rocking. There are no easy places to play in the Big Ten. There are Rutgers is a real rough spot. Northwestern, they get down for basketball. You can't even say Northwestern. They get in. Maryland

may be as friendly as anywhere. Maryland and maybe Oregon. Which is crazy for Maryland. UCLA. It's UCLA. It's UCLA. Yeah. It's UCLA. So there's that. But Maryland, I was in Maryland last year. It was, that's when my aunt, her services were, and I happened to be there. And then literally my brother called me the morning on a Saturday morning. It was snow. It was snow. He goes, hey, you go into the game. I'm like, what game? He goes, Nebraska game. I'm like, bro, why would I do that? He goes, because it's right down at Maryland. They play Maryland at 1 o'clock. you. And I was like, uh-oh. Oh, no. Oh, no. I didn't put in for credentials. Let's if we can get tickets. And I may call to Johnny Holliday. And Johnny Holidays, I got you. And we sat in the front row

directly across from the Nebraska bench. Which red were you wearing? I don't remember. Probably just a black neutral. I want to think so. I usually go neutral. I'm pretty sure that I did not where Husker Red. One, because when I go to D.C., I don't always take, like, I'm taking some of this trip. Like, I've already packed it. Right. But I don't always pack Nebraska stuff when I go to D.C.

Sometimes I do, because sometimes I got a, you know, capitals, nationals, commanders, whatever, whatever's going on. I will pack that. So I have that. And I'm working on a plan so that I could just leave some stuff there. But, yeah, me and my brother, my brother and I had never watched. We'd never gone to a Maryland game together. So we went to me.

He, you know, he sat front row and had time with his life. They brought him food. He ate everything they brought. Like my brother is my little brother. And it was spectacular. He just, he ate everything they brought. Like they would bring the front row and again, club service. So they're just, would you like?

Yes. Yes. Yes. Whatever that is, I would like. Yeah, the club level, man. Oh, yeah. Oh. Older ball game.

What's, uh, before we get out here, what big 10 venue? You probably been enough now. Has the best food selection. best food in the big 10 um let me look at the Midwest you'll get you know we're raving about our runs us and everything it ain't it ain't it ain't here let me just say that i hate to say i never i never said it was it just said runza i'm just letting you know no this ain't it get yourself a hand won't no this is hey bro no this ain't this ain't it this ain't it. UCLA. Because

you get some of the Polynesian culture, you will get some of the, like, there's way more pineapple. Yeah, I would go. I thought Maryland would have an awesome selection. That's why Maryland does because you, I mean, because it's eclectic and it's diverse. But I was going to be the worst. Some of the, man, man probably just burgers and

hot dogs yeah man yeah so they didn't have runs it so look at them bottom of the barrel yeah boo boo that man thanks for sanford he's a great player thank you appreciate you all right guys I'm out of here until 11 o'clock hang on to the huskers uh more ticket weeknights coming up
