I'm going to test this fisticum's thing. Where do you get this? We have great fans. We have great listeners, man. We have great family. And they're like, so when are you going to do? Because they were going to do the, like actual face paint. And you can get like a face paint kit.

But he goes, no. We actually have. He goes, check your mail. And here it is. So we are fully warrior mask up. for the first time ever on the ticket and we need we need this in Husker colors

on black friday yep same deal same deal absolutely same deal yeah we need this uh we need this for husker wrestling matches? Yes. Is that fair? Like we need... I think we would be even more popular in the all the kids be reaching for high five for the tunnel. Right, but we need somebody to create a Husker Warriors mask. And it would be, I would say that it's for a Husker, you know, Husker fan kids, but I also know that Husker fans, I know the dad's with it. I know. Can you a man? Come on. Come on. Come on. Man of a certain age. Come on. I don't know if it would go over well in the media room.

No, probably not. Probably not. But I just think, like, you know, you can have a whole section of Warriors. That's maybe we'll do that. Maybe I'll have, I'll find a way and I'll get like a hundred. And we'll, we'll set up like 100 general admission tickets and have like a Husker warrior section. That'd be awesome.

Maybe we'll do it for basketball. Maybe we'll do it for, like, in the student section. Yeah, I wonder how expensive these are. This should be doable. Well, I mean, I think if you gave, if you gave away, you know, like 100, like the first 100 or 500, like the people who are in the front rows. Yeah. Right?

Those, those Big Ten TV shots of all like Husker Warrior fans. Just, you know, oh my goodness. It's a, and I think they missed something. is that they never did ultimate war they never did the the road warrior mask did they ever did they ever sell those

I don't know like the hawking animal right I don't know right but you would I would wear I would I would wear that right I mean I think they did it for like

axe and smash demolition I thought I was trying to look it up to see if there was any but is there a Husker wrestling mask? I know they're like Husker mask like they have a full white mask with the Husker end on it but I'm thinking like a full on like Ultimate Warrior

Ultimate Warrior Jake Sardson Farley's jealous. Farley's jealous. He doesn't have a mask. All the cool kids do. I think we should do that, right? Animal or Hawk?

Yeah, Bill and that's the thing, right? I mean, I think, I think Hawk had the better face paint. I mean, if they did, but you could do both. And I think, yeah, Eric, I'll leave. I'll make sure there's one for you. Because you deserve that. I think it would be a great idea. But I don't know if we had Husker Wrestling Man.

Rescue, Wrestling. So I don't know. All right, Bach. We're supposed to pay a bill in this segment, kind, sir, if you would, please. All right. This hour is sponsored by Shwezo Construction, where safety isn't just a policy. It's a promise. Shwezo is hiring skilled craftsmen, laborers, concrete workers,

and steel rectors who value, quality work in a team that has your back on and off the job side applied today at shuiso.com 40 years strong in business shuiso construction yeah look at them being all about safety and whatnot look at them setting rules and boundaries the nerve the nerve of them to have standards fuck how will we exist with rules that would be um talk me through this run and i want to make sure we give the women's program credit as well, in full, right, in passing, that on a day when Brent Prince didn't have her best effort, her best result, that her leadership still was profound. And I don't know how good can this women's team be. Let's, I mean, is this, this is

top third of the big 10 for both the men and women's program. The women's program and the top third. Now, they made a bid because they took UCLA, they got to the semifinals in the Big Ten last year and stretched UCLA, who ended up winning the dang thing. So we know

that there's talent within the program. But what's the North Star? What's the standard? What is the expectation? What can we look for when a Husker women's, is this top four in the Big Ten? Is this, is this, Is this winnable? Is this, we're in a better spot to win a first round game? What's the ceiling?

Well, I mean, that's kind of somewhat remains to be seen, right? I mean, that's what we're waiting for. They're one of two Big Ten teams that are undefeated along with Maryland. Of course, you've got some other pretty darn good teams, the UCLA's of the world in the league as well. And we're going to see here. I mean, you ask and you shall receive their next two games. So part of the question, right, for Nebraska men's side was,

okay, they got that top 15 win on the road. kind of validates this undefeated season. Nebraska is going to have that opportunity of the women's side as well in their next two games. They've got USC coming up here in a week from today, actually, next Monday. And USC is number 17 right now. That will be at home.

It's a little bit different, but still you get a top 25 team. And then they will go on the road at Iowa on the first of the year, 2026. And that is a top 15 team on the road. So not that they're competing. with men, but kind of an opportunity to get a similar resume nailed down there. I think I'd be interested in fun.

Of course, Juju Watkins is not playing for USC this year. They do have a hot shot freshman who's come in and they had depths from last year, but they are not last year's version of the Lady Trojans. And Iowa, we don't know who they're going to be in full. like we think that we know the style of play and we know some of the some of the players but I'm not sure we really think this is not Caitlin Clark Iowa

but this is NCAA tournament aisle is that fair? Yeah absolutely again they're number 14 right now you've got eight teams ranked in the big 10 including Nebraska and in the top 25 excuse me including Nebraska three ranked in the top 10

who are those teams so UCLA's number four at 11 and 1 Michigan who's got a pretty good men's and women's team now. 10 and 1 at number 6 in Maryland is the only other undefeated team in the Big 10 besides Nebraska at 13 and 0. They're ranked 7. Where's Indiana? Indiana is currently 11 and 2 unranked.

So when we talk about depth of it and kind of making statement making that Amy Williams in this program has the opportunity. Now, I think they're finding if PetroBoson is going to give them the quality of play that she's got, if, if Petrie's, if Petrie's going to score and, and if she can be in the 12 and 8, 14 and 8 space, this team's going to be difficult to beat because Hargrave gives you juice off the bench. We know that Brit Prince can handle in most situations. She's in a pretty good space where the system allows her to dictate and then capitalize if she's having a good night or not. So if she's feeling it, she's allowed to capitalize. If she's not feeling

it, she can use her skill set up her teammates, which she's been exceptional at. And then the depth is that Amy's going deep into the bench. The second group can go five deep and not really lose anything. It's a different style of play. They've got different tempo players. And then they've got shot makers. You have the leadership of Colin Hake, who also, I mean, people think it's Britt Prince's team, but I'm almost going to say that the heart of this thing is Calvin, hey, is that a fair statement? Well, it can be. I mean, I appreciate especially, you know, what she gets going. I mean, as a team, they look pretty darn good from, especially kind of the assist category, right? They average 21 assists per game. She leads

with five assists per game. Of course, Britt does her own job there with, you know, 4.3, but Callen at 5.1. So there's always an argument to be made for the point card. it is an interesting run and by the way great job you and austin last night with post game show great breakdown great insight on on the husker men again we you know think about this it is a different era and time that where we would find some reason to criticize or to set caution after a 20 point win but necessary because you start to look for things that need to be fixed and can be adjusted and elevated. And that's a great place to be where you're just shooting for,

hey, listen, there are a lot of good things for us to talk about. And there are fewer things to talk about that are negative. Their entire box where the entire postgame show was two hours of negative. Now we had one or two things to talk about. It's a different era for men's basketball. And by the way, they are up to number 13. in both the polls. So moving up from number 15, knocking on the door of that top 10 matchup that I'm hoping for, though they can get there. By the way, Michigan State number

nine, they didn't move at all. But that definitely could be around the corner. Yeah, it's been interesting to sit back and go, okay, what do we have, what do we truly have? Like, what do we truly have? And I listened to a lot of Husker fans go through that, that, that, that, that, that mental dance of do we are we fully invested in this right can we emotionally all dive all the way in the pool and there are people that want to do that don't want to do that um i understand that that that that but i'm just going to say i'm going to dive in and i'm going to enjoy that's just me that that that that's just me so um textor i love our textors uh phil says this DP and we i'll take a minute here. D.P., I need help

to help me understand, remember something from the late 80s WW. There's a tag team named Powers of Pain who feuded with demolition were the powers of pain also the road warriors. They seemed similar, and I didn't follow WCW back in the day. No, they were

cast similar to, but the powers of pain were actually the barbarian. The barbarian was a single wrestler and then they paired him with the warlord and the warlord who did some singles work in the WWF they thought he was going to be they thought he was going to be

kind of a real big superpower a Vader kind of guy it just never happened for him as the warlord it just never like it just never people never really bought in the barbarian was a chronic mid-level champion contender wherever he was.

He was about 6-2-3 bills. They were both about 300 pounds. They were listed as 623 pounds combined. But yeah, to start their feud, I mean, they attacked the road warriors. And that was really the beginning of it with the face of pain, same body types and other ones. So, yeah, yeah, powers of pain.

Good, good pull. We'll go to break, come back, or close out. One-on-one, get you all set up for Bach and the Blackshirt. Watch live on Facebook, YouTube, or Twitch. You're listening to One-on-One with DP on 937 The Ticket and The Ticketfm.com.
