Rece Davis and Pete Thamel share their shock for the news that Nebraska's AD and alum Trev Alberts is expected to agree to a five-year deal with Texas A&M, then expand on Alberts' lengthy history with the Cornhuskers and why they think money may not be the primary deciding factor in this potential move. Then they sit down with Syracuse head coach Fran Brown to discuss the text that got him his job, the obstacle he faces while on the job, and how he plans to dominate recruiting in New York, New Jersey, and beyond.

That’s my big cousin Fran I’m gonna play for him at Syracuse class of 2030 🍊

[@Rayzorswagg2089]

Mad respect for coach Brown. Has a clear vision and I really hope he has success at Syracuse. I loved his story and motivation. I will be definitely catching some of their games this year

[@zachcoggins9018]

He’s gonna be a stud up there. The ACC isn’t very strong, they went 6-6 last year, and he cleaned up in the portal. If he doesn’t win the conference within a few years, I’d be surprised.

ACC went 7-5 against the SEC in football in 2023

I loved Coach Babers and hope he has tremendous success at Arizona. That being said, haven’t been this excited for the 🍊🏈 program since #5 stood behind center.

Amazing interview of an impressive human being! Great decision by John Wildhack to go against convention and hire Fran Brown. He is captivating and just draws you in.

FRAN-chise. Man is amazing. You can just feel the great things ahead for the Cuse ❤🍊

Maybe the best interview ever!!!

I think Fran has reinvigorated this program and spring ball is tomorrow on 4/20 last I heard 10,000 tickets so far. Most attended spring ball was like 6,500 ppl in 05. Alumni back around the program and big money is rolling in from fans and alumni. So the community is starting to come back around this program. For the first time in 25years actually excited for fall.

It just proves that no matter what people say no one's loyal in this sport, from the players right up to the coaches, ad's, and administrators. And yet people complain about players not being loyal to coaches and teams 🤔 Good luck Trev.

[@blackout07blue]

Thamel really coping hard over A&M stealing Nebraska’s AD. Lol

[@lorisnyder7961]

I anxious to her Trev’s side of this. He won’t slam Nebraska…if he does there is something seriously wrong going on. 😭 I expect Coach Osborne to speak up too. They know we deserve an explanation.

[@JWCFB]

I guarantee you one thing, it wasn’t Kirk Herbstreit that told Alberts to leave

[@blackout07blue]

Who is that?

[@denniswhite9269]

I thought Trev Alberts would be at Nebraska forever 🤔 😕 😔 😐"?!!? I mean he played football at Nebraska and for Tom Osborne"?!!? 🤔🤨😒😯😲😳🙄💯💥💣🌋🔥👍👌✌️🤌🫱🫲🫸🫷🤜🤛👏🤝🙌

Nebraska is really going downhill now. Nebraska 4 wins next year.

You guys should't be getting BBQ in Syracuse. You should be getting Buffalo wings. Cuse is only 2hrs away, they do'em right. If you wan't the bbq flavor find the best place for Buffalo Wings and order BBQ wings instead of Buffalo style.

[@hartsickdisciple]

Have you ever been to Dinosaur BBQ?
