Before diving into Husker football, Jack and Josh discuss March Madness which leads them into trying to figure out why their sports watching has gone down over the years, even though it's so much easier to take in sports today.

What Nebraska's plans for the postseason in the Crown or NIT could look like and what that might mean for the transfer portal.And the bigger picture: Is Nebraska basketball still a victim of under-investment? Will that ever change when they also continue to be oddly popular in this state given their lack of success? And what does actual investment look like?Plus, a eulogy for another season and this fanbase's horrendous return for the emotional investment they've put into the program. For more content like this, become a Patron today for as low as $5 a month: patreon.com/i80club | For more on Husker sports, visit huskermax.com | Subscribe to the Stretch Big with Jacob Bigelow!
