I'm excited to announce that I'll be starting at
@937TheTicket
on Tuesday! I'll be around in the afternoons for On the Block with
@EStrick20
and then for Old School with Derrick Pearson and
@foreman5644
. Grateful to
@MarksVoice
for the opportunity and ready to get started!
I’m thrilled to officially announce that I’ve accepted a job with Summit Media in Omaha! My primary job will be producing for
@NickESPN590
and I couldn’t be more excited to be back in the sports talk radio game!
For those who don't know, my time with
@HuskerSports
has come to an end. It's been an honor and a privilege to work with such a talented group of people for the last few years. I can't thank everyone, but here's a try:
So pleased to see
@Unl_CoJMC
’s Susan Oestmann recognized by the
@u_nebraska
board of regents with a Kudos award today. Thanks for you endless entrepreneurism and commitment to
@UNLincoln
students.
For the first time since Wednesday…
It’s
@LLBoysHoops

For the first time in his life…
It’s Beckett at a live sporting event.
Let’s. Go.

at this point in my career. Nothing but big things in store for the station because of the people who are a part of it!

, my instant reaction:
⚫️ Worst defensive communication and rotation since Creighton
⚫️ Settled for tough shots early, settled for lazy shots against Iowa's zone
⚫️ Letdown/schedule loss post-Purdue, but doesn't excuse the effort/shooting
Overheard at Arby's:
Cashier: "Can I get your name?"
Customer: "It's unique."
Casher: "Oh, is it? Like how unique are we talkin'?"
Customer: "No, like my name IS Unique."
It’s me! I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunity to represent CoJMC students on its SAB. Please let me (or any SAB member) know if anything in the J School isn’t running quite right, and we’ll do our best to find a resolution.

I’m not saying I manifested Nebraska getting both Casey Thompson and Chubba Purdy out of the portal, but I am the only (or at least first) person I know on radio who put that thought out in the universe, so take that for what it’s worth
I see a lot of people are excited that a certain pregame show is back in Lincoln... don’t worry, after a week away,
@HCDKRNU
will be back on your airwaves on Saturday! Show starts at 5:15 p.m.

We’ll talk to you at 2 on
@937TheTicket

Somewhat unexpectedly and entirely unfortunately, it means my time at AM590 is done as well. Thank you for all your support on the show! Hopefully, I’ll talk to y’all again soon. I don’t think you’ve heard the last from me, but God’s will be done, amen.
What an afternoon at Cedars! Thanks to the staff for being so welcoming and for sharing their stories on the shows. Thanks also to the awesome lineup of guests that stopped by!
In the last week I have:
Put pills in the pantry instead of the medicine cabinet
Put scissors in the fridge
Tried to put a Freddy’s cup in the dishwasher
Parenting throws the auto-pilot out of whack, apparently.
There is no better time of year than right now as a sports fan- March Madness, spring training, spring football, NBA Playoff pushes, college baseball.
Equally as important, it’s starting to return to quarter-zip weather.
Truly, this time of year is a 1-seed.
The longest day of radio I’ve ever had was one of the best I’ve ever had. Reminded me of all the parts I love about my job and why I wanted to do it in the first place. Grateful and blessed for the daily opportunities to learn and grow.
Right before I talked to Troy Dannen, I was able to catch up with the interim AD for the
#Huskers
, Dennis LeBlanc.
He handed out extensions to both basketball coaches during his stint as AD.
SO HAPPY for Nick and excited for what’s coming next for him. He’s gonna be great in his next step!
I can’t thank him enough for going to bat for me to give me the opportunities I did at AM590. I’ll always treasure my time with him on the show.
To anyone who's ever listened, thank you for tuning in. Without you, we couldn't have done what we loved for as long as we did.
I don't know what's next, but I'm hopeful that you haven't heard the last of me on the air.
Easily the funniest data viz I've ever seen.
(1) First of all, it's a pie chart.
(2) The total is greater than 100%.
(3) The relevant categories are today, last year, and... the year 1997?
(4) The margin of error (MOE) is listed as the source.
The Boys in the Back are back like we never left! The greatest sports podcast you’ll ever listen to is hosted by

Check back every week for a new episode, but here’s the first:
Did you know… the NSAA had 3,330 registered officials in 2010-2011. The number of officials has since decreased to 2,897 registered officials in 2020-2021.

I will be firing off tweets about the game being played on this new, monochromatic turf in a thread in approximately one hour. Do with this information what you will.
Nebraska now has 3 players with over 100 rushing yards. It's happened 4 times in school history, most recently in 2010 on the road against Washington, when Taylor Martinez, Roy Held Jr., and Rex Burkhead all put up 100-plus.
