Until Saturday: A show about college football

Andy and The Athletic's Nebraska Cornhuskers keyboard clicker Mitch Sherman reflect on Nebraska's 2001 loss to Colorado, and how the Buffaloes' triumph led to the Cornhuskers' precipitous, near-two-decade- long fall from grace. The guys chat about the early 2000's complexion of the Big 12 North, Nebraska's inability to adjust to Colorado's offensive scheme, and, how prior to clashing with the Buffs', Frank Solich's team was in a position to contend for a BCS National Title. Speaking of Solich, what ripple effects did his firing have on the program, and how did the loss to Colorado and Miami affect the team emotionally?Follow Andy on Twitter: @Andy_StaplesFollow Mitch on Twitter: @mitchsherman Hosted on Acast.

Yes, we're in on the Tebow media groundswell as well. Andy and The Atheltic's Lindsay Jones deliberate if Tim Tebow reuniting with his old head coach, Urban Meyer, is a legitimate, football-savvy move, or a PR, bottom-line-driven ploy. Was this signing even Meyer's choice? What's Jacksonville's motivation for bringing Tebow aboard? Can the former first-rounder make the jump to TE? Is he being tasked with a leadership/mentorship role? Could this affect Trevor Lawrence, if so, how? Could Tebow develop into a Taysom Hill-type of guy (though he was the original Hill)? Lastly, Andy and Lindsay predict what will happen in this Tebow circus act.Follow Andy on Twitter: @Andy_StaplesFollow Lindsay on Twitter: @bylindsayhjones Hosted on Acast.
