Nick WymanHOST

as well.
Nick WymanHOST
10:18
So I'm curious, you know, you obviously have seen the other Bob Devaney and what it looks like is full, uh, for volleyball, but I guess just how excited this group to kind of see the re-seeing and see what it looks like, uh, for the wrestling side of things.
Ridge LovettHOST

Um, but I'm gonna tell you this, I'm gonna be on them, and I learned this from my college coach.
Barry AlvarezGUEST
19:19
I watched Bob Devaney.
Barry AlvarezGUEST
19:22
You know, I played for him for four years, then I was a grad assistant for two, and then I coached in Lincoln for another three or four years, and I went to every game and I watched him.
Barry AlvarezGUEST
19:33
At halftime every game, he'd chase the officials, raising cane with the officials before the halftime.

Years ago, Bob Devaney said, our fans will support us win or draw.
DonAUDIENCE

And I think that's true of Nebraska fans.
DonAUDIENCE
3:03
We're very, very into our team.
Austin OermanHOST
35:36
Mm-hmm.
Jay ForemanHOST
35:36
Always from like Bob Devaney, always the, that's a, that's, that's the way Nebraska's really known for, right? That's what people talk about, the Big Red Machine.
Jay ForemanHOST
35:44
Well, then it changed obviously immediately when Callahan came in, and he was like, "I don't want anything to do with that." [snaps fingers] Like that, right? So then that's the younger fan that is impressionable.
Jay ForemanHOST
35:55
Let's just say they were, like, eight years old then.

Steve WestHOST
39:19
And you remember back in our day, Nebraska was there.
Steve WestHOST
39:23
Tom Osborne, Bob Devaney, they were there every year, seemingly.
Steve WestHOST
39:28
That game against Oklahoma at the end of the year meant everything.
Steve WestHOST
39:31
But they've been away for a while.

Tom Osborne, Bob Devaney before him, led a program that was dominant.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
5:47
And the Nebraska fans have been incredibly loyal through this dark patch from 2016 to now where they haven't beaten a ranked opponent.
speaker_5SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
5:55
The place will be jumping.
JakeHOST
13:30
... think about it that way, kind of that linear progress and, and, and certainly, hey, you know, one step forward's better than a step backwards and all that sort of stuff.
JakeHOST
13:39
But I think too as Nebraska fans we feel like that's more the way it is than it ever was, right? Because you had, you know, uh, 35 plus years of, of, of Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne consistently winning, and then you get to the N- the, the Bo Pelini era and it just gets stuck at that 9, 10 wins and you, and you're not taking the step forward.
JakeHOST
13:57
But more often than not, it is step forwards, couple step backs, big step forward, couple steps back.
JakeHOST
14:03
You know? It, it's not just gonna be one thing.
Grant HansenHOST
9:44
But, uh, this game means so much to so many people.
Grant HansenHOST
9:50
Uh, you played in so many of these games that were like this, these high stakes games that Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne brought about.
Grant HansenHOST
9:57
And Tom Osborne, couple of weeks back, inducted into the Nebraska Hall of Fame.
Grant HansenHOST
