Should Nebraska fans stop dwelling on past and focus on present success?

Author: Omaha World-Herald May 13, 2025 Duration: 53:58

In the latest episode of the Pick Six Podcast, Sam McKewon and Evan Bland discuss the latest in Nebraska athletics, including Husker baseball's push for the conference tournament, what the guys learned from Tom Shatel's conversation with AD Troy Dannen and how realistic is a Big Ten-SEC football scheduling alliance.

The guys open by selecting which 3 SEC teams they'd like to see Nebraska play in a home-and-home series before diving into Troy Dannen's comments about many fans focusing on the bad past instead of celebrating the moments and sports the Huskers are achieving in. 

Next, the two talk about how, in the current landscape with NIL and revenue-sharing on the way, Nebraska football should be in position to acquire the right talent and have a season similar to Indiana's in 2024.

Sam and Evan then break down NU's chances at making the Big Ten baseball tournament with just a couple weeks left in the season, and the rest of the slate on the road. The episode wraps with a conversation about the Big Ten's new pool-play setup.
