    Enough with the Dolphins
    Great show, love what you do. But tired of hearing about Miami Dolphins. Save it, try talking about NFC North or something worth listening to. Don’t care about Miami, very few dolphin fans here. Suggest Jake drop Dolphins and take up the Chiefs.
  • Big cogger frogger
    Love it
    Love the show. On the bandwagon for a 3hr show. Still listen to Tulsa time once a week
  • Kyle63947
    Sports show?
    I think this podcast is mislabeled as a sports pod. They rarely talk about sports and when they do they usually acknowledge that they didn’t watch the games they talk about.
  • CJ in Iowa
    I despise idle chitchat
    About 2/3 of the show is idle chitchat. The little bit of actual meaningful content that they have, I enjoy.
  • GA4NE
    Podcast
    Please fix the playback volume on the podcast. Also, ads play right in the middle of conversations which is absolutely ridiculous. Great show!
  • MSMTHIEM
    Rise and Shine
    Early Break is like listening to 3 guys that have been together for a lifetime. They obviously take their jobs very seriously (they are VERY knowledgeable and informative), but they don’t take themselves very seriously (they literally make me laugh out loud at least once each episode). Early break is the best radio show/podcast in Nebraska by far. Sipp and Jake clearly “get” each other and are very synergistic. As great of a coach Bill was, I think he’s and even better radio personality. The Jake, Sipp, and Busch show will be around for a LONG time and should plan on a road show/tour with live performances.
  • listening every day
    Great show
    My only complaint is I am forced to listen to podcast because where I live and my job and on certain days I am missing quite a few segments and the segments come in all different order. is there any way to do number them?
  • tybenz313
    Because of Bill Busch I listen now everyday!
    So entertaining to hear actually stories from Bill about his time around the program and college football. Great insight!!!
  • Willlllyyyy
    Keep up the husker talk
    Keep Bill Busch forever. He’s good at this!
  • WordDorkStud
    Three’s a crowd…
    I’ve been listening via the podcast for six months or so…I enjoy the give & take between Sip & Jake. Good balance…while I’ve enjoyed Coach Busch bringing his perspective, the banter often becomes too much snark by Coach. For someone who chides Vince from Napa about needing new material or a varied approach, he’s bringing the show down. A little bit goes a long way. The show has been a five star until the last week.

    Sip n Jake
    Best podcast for Husker football information. Could do without the NFL commentary but I’ll live with it. Great show!
  • AppNoWorky
    THE Best Husker coverage you’ll find anywhere!
    Jake and Sip are the best in the business. They’ve been covering the Huskers for a long time and their experience shows. Jake is the captain of the show keeping the show’s format on pace while Sip provides depth and perspectives. They work well together, are humorous and make you laugh. Guests on the show are all very knowledgable about what’s going on inside the program as well as providing insight into upcoming opponents. Stick around all week for Song of the Day, and Shut Up Sipple. You won’t be disapointed. -Eric in Elkhorn.
  • TebowTime4t45
    Pretty ok
    Lot of production issues- sipple provides great insight and information while, Jake yells a lot. Listen everyday for sip’s music knowledge and insider information.

    Show
    I listen to you guys almost everyday. Like the show a lot and Vince is awesome! Love hearing him yell and scream
  • Craig7575
    Great show
    Listen every day
  • Oldad34
    Camp?
    Why do y’all call it a camp at the beginning of football practice? Have y’all ever been to a football camp?
  • RTProvince
    Episodes consistently wrong
    Am I the only one experiencing this? Every time I try and come back to listening to some of the episodes, the episode will be from a previous week. For instance the Schaefer episodes are almost always here or episodes, even though the descriptions are written as current episodes. Makes it unlistenable. Is this a glitch on my end?
  • Derek of Seward
    Sipple is funny
    Steve Sipple brings his wit & humor to this show focused on Nebraska sports.

    Early Break
    I am having trouble with the pods when playing them. The stream is interrupted constantly. The pods from this station are the only ones I have trouble with.Sometimes I can back it up a little ways and the cutting out goes away. Thanks for your attn. to this.

    Only makes me want to push nails into my eyes on a semi-frequent basis; not bad!
  • Overworked Husker Fan
    Great husker podcast
    Great pod cast if you don’t hang yourself listening to Jakes terrible song choices! Sip needs to start picking out the songs! Go Big Red!
  • tfosler
    Dexter The Texter
    I live in Omaha and can’t stand the sports talk here. Too much Creighton. Thank you for keeping me sane
  • J.Mulls
    Mr. Pancake Approved
    Great show, seasoned sportswriter vet Sipple is the perfect compliment to young Jake. Mr. Sorensen doesn’t get enough credit for the way he keeps all Steve’s mental cats corralled & maintains a general sense of order.
  • Scooby dooooooo
    From San Diego
    Been reading Sipple for years. Enjoy the radio show. Both Jake and Sip keep the Husker base informed and entertained. These guys are not afraid to critique while maintaining excitement for the Big Red. Great place for us out of towers to keep up with all things Husker. Thanks guys!
