Back to one-on-one with D.P. Sponsored by the Downtown Lincoln Foundation on 93-7 the ticket. That brings us to the host of this weekend's festivities. John Cedar. John Cedar is the host of WrestleMania weekend. And so, Bach, give the elevator pitch for Dan Housen and who Dan Housen. What is Dan Hous? Like, it's almost what is Danhausen rather than who is?

And it's hard, again, to explain him. Very nice, very evil. He's kind of like a... Evil, but not evil. Yeah, he's like a... He carries a jar of human teeth around with him. He's kind of a comedic character, but a dark, like, vampire type guy that can put curses on people.

And he's not... He doesn't look like a wrestler. That's kind of part of his thing is he's kind of a smaller guy. so he's trying to fit in where he can. But yeah, he curses people and he's very nice, very evil. That's his tag look. He needs to put a full-on curse on dumb. We'll see if it happened.

He did. He put one on it. But I want him to have the title. Haas and I were talking about it, like how you would use Danhausen. Yeah. And it came up and I was like, geez, you know, title changes necessary. Danhausen's the next guy, right? The next bit.

Six-month run. of Danhausen affecting championships. And then making stories out of wrestlers that do not have stories. Yeah. Right? Like he's making some really not interesting people. Interesting. Yeah.

Right. I mean, to bring back Ms. Like for him to give kit some push, I'm all for it, right? Like I'm all for it. Now, do you think, I personally think the less Danhausen in ring, the better. I like him like you're saying. kind of a side character manipulating things. Entering Danhausen, they did and they debuted,

and I think they could do here and there, but I think that's going to be kind of... Well, I wanted to build up that he gets, like, an intercontinental title for like three weeks, and then somebody gets it, right? And then he changes and, you know, he'll go face Danhausen to heal Danhausen, right? Which extends the run like a full year,

and it's there. Songbird says this, do you know about Daniellehausen? Bach, do you know about Daniel Housen? I do not know about Daniel Housen. See, tease me with more. There's a Daniel Housen. Stop it, sir. Bach, Google.

Songbird, do not make things up that give me joy. Bill and Bennett says, if I could curse anybody in sports, four letters. Two syllables. Iowa. Iowa. Bach would you, who would you, anybody in sports, anybody in sports, it could be a person, it could be a team, it could be a city. Bach, who would you have Danhausen curse in the name of Bach?

Well, it's very interesting because I've been through this too, is that I like the teams that I hate to at least be competitive. The teams that I hate are the Yankees in the Longhorn. Texas Longhorns, more than anything. And if they struggle, it's fun for a couple weeks to throw. But if they're actually bad for a long extended period of time, kind of takes away a little bit of the- Yeah, but what a run that would be.

It is. So I would have a unique curse that maybe make them close, but no cigar type of thing. But the curse of Bambino has got to be reversed. I would reverse the curse of the Bambino. It's been, It's been taken away, right? The Red Sox.

But now I would like an 86-year curse on the Yankees. On the Yankees. So you're choosing the Yankees for the curse over Texas, Iowa, Creight. I think so. I don't fear Iowa enough altogether that they need a curse. And plus good, we don't know how to remove the curse. Like only Dan has them can remove the curse.

So they have to do something. So remarkably good that the curse is removed. And most of these people certainly would not. do the good thing. Oh, that's awesome. There is, so there's a super fan, Danielle, oh my goodness, that's awesome. Daniel Fischel and she is Daniel Housen, Daniel Housen. That's amazing.

That's amazing. Bravo. Bravo, all of that songbird. That's exceptional. Matter of fact, songbird, put in your shirt size and put it in there. And what I'd rate, we have the 3X for you. So we will be able to do that as well. But that's a great text.

So thank you. I actually like this text. 5215 says this. It's like putting a hot dog on a bed of caviar. The hot dog is a team and the stadium project is caviar. I'd rather eat steak off a paper plate. Look, there's some logic to that. This is why I ask the question.

If you, every football fan, Husker football fans wants one thing above all other things win. Is that, is that, is that, is that the one thing all Husker fans can, can, can agree on? Absolutely. And it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's up over the years more than anything. What, what? What, and then we have to define what winning looks like.

is 7 to 6 winning, 8 wins, 9 wins, 10 wins, 11. What's the number that you want undefeated, but there's got to be a thing that it gives you comfort. It gives you satisfaction. What would you think? Well, I think it would be easy to go 9 wins, but Nebraska has fired two 9 win coaches, so I suppose 10. So if this program, this football team could get to 10 wins

on a regular consistent basis. Yes. Right? Now, we know that after year three, that wouldn't be enough. Right. Right. We also know that about Oscar fans. Get to 10 wins.

Yay! Do it twice. Yay! Win it three times. Okay, why can't we win 11? Right? We know that. But 10 is the one that gets us there, right?

Yeah. Gets us in the space. And then, Bach, what's the quickest way to get to this football? team to 10 wins. I mean, you got to have the right coach. Do you have the right coach? That's your question there. Okay. So that would be historically a good answer. And then, you know, the roster. But you spent money on the coaches. Yes. You spent money on coaches. That is absolutely true. Again, the whole thing that you didn't have the money was not true. Is it true? Because you find money for coaches and you find money for a whole staff. There's $80 million.

going to the athletic department staff. So that's not it. Then it becomes allocation of the money, who gets it, and then what the return on investment is. And the one thing that we could say is, Husker fans in full, let's win. And in order to win, tax sign, correct us if we're wrong,

is better talent the best way to spend money. they've spent it on coaching. Like you're not going to spend more money and get better coaches. The better coaches have a gig already where they're doing their dang thing. Right? Is that fair to say? Yeah. I mean, I mean, more ideal, like if you could, if you could find it, Tom Osborne, that's what you keep, right? But yeah, it's tough to find.

They don't grow on trees. But you need people that are win. And then winning coaches will tell you in this day and age, you better have talent. Top level, elite level talent. And I don't think anybody standing. 10 toes down and Lincoln will say that this team has the talent to win the Big Ten in football.

Do, Bach, does this team have the talent to win ten games this season? Yeah, that's the face of the question. But then there's the question. What if you had Kurt Signetti? Because Kurt Signetti, did Indiana have that talent two years ago?

Why can't Matt Rowe be Kurt Signetti? Isn't that what you paid him for? That's the hope. Isn't that why you gave big money for long-term for long-term contract. Yeah, you expect to win. Right? You, you, that's your, that's your, whatever.

Do more with less, yes. Whatever Kurtzegetti came, came to the table with, you got that and that rule. So it's not the coaching staff, right? They're not all of a sudden going to do better. You're not going to spend more money on the coaching staff. Well, you might. You might. Things have been proven over time.

But the money in the coaching staff is not the problem, right? You have the money, right, yeah. Sir. Yeah. Then it becomes talent. And people who talk about the trans reporter in the NIL say, oh, it's running football. No, it isn't. The people managing the money are ruining college football.

It's not the players wanting more money because, hey, Bach, they see that money machine over there where there's millions of dollars available. They see it. It exists now. The curtains have been pulled. They've looked behind the Wizard of Oz curtain, and they see the guy maneuvering things and go, wait a minute. You do have the money. You may not could have had money all along.

Man, okay, well, give me what you owe me. I just think, if you have the money, I'm just asking that question. Sir? Sir. Chad and Kyle, Texas says that Danielle was Topanga on Boy Mutual. makes all the sense in the world. Yep. Yep. Sondberg, we got you. So it'll be here at the desk when you get a chance.

If you need us to do that. Thomas & Lincoln says he wants Danhausen to plague Texas A&M. He goes, I would love to see him struggling every single year. I think there's a large portion of Husker fans that would agree. But if you, so let's say Dan Housen, and he's got Husker colors, by the way. that's another mask we could do. Would it be Huskerhausen?

Is that Kevin's new personality profile? Is that the next Huster superfan? Right? Because imagine Huskerhausen at every Husker event with a red and black face. Bach, imagine him sitting right behind the opponent's coach's bench, chair. And right before the game starts, they put him on the big screen, and he points at the opposing coach and he raises his hands

and 90,000 people, and then he says, you are cursed. And the entire stadium says it, and they throw confetti and the crowd goes wild and the Huskers win. Well, that's the important part.

The Husker's got to win. Well, the Husker housing curse works. Right? So we need a fan that becomes Husker housing. Is that? I would, yeah, that'd be entertaining. Right. Can we, can we brand that Huskerhausen?

Mine, I'm running into some legal problems with Danhausen, but maybe. He doesn't own, he doesn't own that. He doesn't ownhausen? What is? We have a great text. We'll read it when we come back. We'll close out one-on-one.
