Many of you likely remember former Nebraska Cornhuskers beat writer Christopher Heady from his days with the Omaha World Herald. The secret Kansan spy spent a number of years following the inside action at the Hendrix Training Complex and Pinnacle Bank Arena during the end of the Tim Miles era and start of the Fred Hoiberg era. That unique perspective gave him an interesting look at how two very different coaching era were in Lincoln.
Luckily for our listeners, Chris was generous enough to give us his time and talk about some of the contrasts between the coaching regimes and the overall picture of where basketball stands in his mind among the Husker fanbase. Did the athletic administration care about basketball before Hoiberg? Did fans? Do facilities actually matter?

Welcome back to another episode of: Of Bangarangs and Daggers. This week’s episode features Matt Belz of
Bucky’s 5th Quarter, Wisconsin’s SB Nation website. Matt was kind enough to come on and preview the Wisconsin Badgers with Kevin.
Matt gives the inside scoops on the Badgers 6-2 record thus far. Was that Louisville win really that impressive? Is the Marquette loss going to be more the norm? Is there any real star power on the roster or does this team simply bore you to death? All of that, and more including some ever classic Brad Davison hate from Kevin.
