Of Bangarangs And Daggers Episode 57: B1G-Husker Perspectives, Bubbles, & Generally Lugubrious Men

Kevin, Nate, and Patrick are back again for another episode, including a new foray into the video medium as an option! However, this week the tone is one of sorrow for obvious reasons.The lugubrious three man weave talks about the PAC-12 decision to postpone all 2020 sports, including basketball, and its impact on Big Ten teams. Will bubbles be the answer? Can there even be bubbles, and what would they look like? Can Kevin survive a cancelled basketball season after no March Madness and cancelled football?! Can Patrick?! Can Nate?!After our brief foray into life in the bubble of Springfield in The Simpsons movie, we get to the heart of this week’s discontent. The Big Ten made the somewhat controversial decision to postpone all fall sports, including football, to a potential spring season.Many angry columns ensued out of Lincoln and Omaha, many talking heads of traditional Big Ten schools shouted things into microphones, and things got quite heated on all sides. Words were exchanged, hair dryers possibly thrown at walls near heads, and the small squabbles that have built up for a while behind closed doors were finally aired in public to all the neighbors.Fences have since been mended, but unlike other podcasts and columns out there we believe we have a unique perspective to offer everyone. With a Big Ten lifer who has spent a good chunk of time around Husker fans (and rooting for the Huskers when not playing MSU) in Kevin, and the native born Huskers of Nate and Patrick, we try to give perspective in a level-headed conversation on why we think everyone acted the way they did. No accusations of wrong doing are made (besides the agreement that the announcement was not done in the best way by the conference), and no feelings were hurt (we hope). Instead we make our best pitch for a new career as marriage counselors helping to shed light on how both sides can avoid a future public spat like this by better understanding where each is coming from.That’s a wrap for this week though. We will be back with more as updates continue to roll in on how, when, and if there will be college basketball.Please Subscribe!Be sure to download and subscribe to our podcast on whatever platform you prefer (that way you won’t miss next week’s very special episode), and you’ll also get all of the other great, but not quite as great, Corn Nation Radio podcasts as well.

Five Heart Podcast Episode 189: Stupidball and Life in the B1G

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, TWO guests. It’s Nate and Todd.Jon wonders if he has looked drunk or high the last five years. It’s possible. Todd says Jon used to have a mullet (I hope we get these photographs) and that their group of friends used to play a game called Stupidball.Speaking of stupid...the Big Ten cancelled (postponed?) the 2020 football season. And Nebraska wasn’t happy. No one was happy, let’s clarify. But Nebraska’s response to their desire to play football drew “hot takes” from idiots like Desmond Howard and Michael Wilbon. For the sake of argument, Bill Moos, Scott Frost, Ronnie Green, etc never said they wanted to leave the Big Ten. They did express a readiness and willingness to play football in the Fall.THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!Anyway...this whole thing is and has been the drizzling for five months.Be sure to “Use Your Voice” and became a part of the show by calling (402) 327-1830.

Of Bangarangs And Daggers Episode 56: Reunited Players, NBA Draft Update, and All-Decade Wins

First off, we apologize for the quality of this week’s episode as we experienced technical difficulties (aka an awful internet connection). But thus Kevin and Patrick persisted and hope you enjoy the latest episode of Nebrasketball coverage.First up is the news that the separated Nebraska Cornhuskers Yvan Ouedraogo and Thorir Thorbjarnarson have been reunited with the team in Lincoln. The two players were stranded for the last few weeks overseas as they awaited the ability to return to stateside due to the COVID-19 pandemic.After the happy news, we shift to the sad update that former Husker Haanif Cheatham did not receive an invite to the [might be held in the future] NBA Draft Combine. However, Kevin breaks down the 11 Big Ten players who did receive an invite. He and Patrick discuss who might still drop out before the Monday deadline and come back for another season.Also at one point the question is brought up what mythical creature is Coach Hoiberg’s favorite? Be sure to let us know in the comments or by reply on Twitter!Finally, as mentioned in Episode 55, we discuss our top ten wins of the last decade by the Cornhuskers. You can follow along with Top 10 Wins Party 1 (6-10) and Top 10 Part 2 (1-5).
