The Friday mailbag is open. We’re starting with football questions about the Nebraska offensive line. Is this a good group, with three potential new starters and restructured leadership? We feel a certain, specific way about the O-line. Tune in to hear. And what about the new QB, Anthony Colandrea? Why all the hype when he wasn’t the Huskers’ first choice in the portal? It’s possible that Nebraska fell into something good.

On the basketball front, we’re revisiting the discussion about a team MVP for the Huskers. What coaching awards will Fred Hoiberg win? With three consecutive 20-win seasons, should he get more aggressive with the non-conference schedule? How would the season be viewed if Nebraska fails to get out of the first round in the NCAA Tournament? We finish with a question about a kangaroo and an important date in the life of one of our listeners – and for one of our hosts. Join us.

Who will emerge as the Big Ten’s top quarterback in 2026—Dante Moore, Julian Sayin, or a surprise contender? The Big 10 Squad debates Tom Fornelli’s latest rankings, spotlighting rising stars like De’Mon Williams, Jayden Maiava, Josh Hoover, and Bryce Underwood. Heated discussions erupt over Josh Hoover’s upside at Indiana, Malik Washington’s raw talent at Maryland, and whether Rocco Becht or Caden Houser truly belong in the Big Ten’s top tier. Position battles, conference dynamics, and program futures take center stage as the squad questions Michigan’s quarterback development, the state of Wisconsin’s Dairy Raid under Luke Fickell, and Iowa’s search for a top-12 signal caller with Jeremy Hechtlinski. Will high-profile transfers—like Nico Iamaleava and Aidan Chiles—shake up the rankings, or does a new face like Tavien St. Clair at Ohio State threaten to break out this season? Get the ultimate Big Ten quarterback preview here.

On Wednesday in Lincoln, Nebraska quarterbacks and running backs met with the media. Anthony Colandrea left an impression in his first interview session since the senior QB transferred to Nebraska from UNLV. Connor and Mitch offer their thoughts – and what it could mean for his ability to connect with teammates this year.

Danny Kaelin is a year older and wiser. It shows. So is TJ Lateef, who provided a clear answer to questions about the decisions that he faced after his first season with the Huskers. Nebraska running backs coach EJ Barthel hopes that his group is set to play with a chip on its collective shoulder. We look, too, at the first set of midweek games for Nebraska baseball. Join us.
