## Resource

In the final week before Big Ten media days and the unofficial start of the college football preseason around here, we’re exploring a few hypotheticals. Because it’s fun. And because you asked us to do it. So what if instead of hiring Scott Frost in 2017, Nebraska had hired Ryan Day? Or what if the Huskers had picked the best possible candidate? Who might that have been? Our second hypothetical: What if Tom Osborne had beaten Miami in the 1984 Orange Bowl? Would he have stayed at Nebraska through 1997? Would the ‘90s have played out the same? We’re also discussing our hosts Friday and Saturday at hot baseball stadiums, a failed 9-9-9 attempt. And the podcast finishes as Connor talks with Spencer McLaughlin, host of Locked On College Football, about Nebraska’s outlook in 2026. Join us.
