The countdown continues: Assessing Tristan Alvano importance for Nebraska

We continue with our countdown to camp, ranking the most important players to Nebraska's success in 2024. At No. 9 on the list is kicker Tristan Alvano. How much of the perceived stress around the kicking position in Lincoln is tied to the spring game? The sophomore returns after a solid first year with the Huskers in an attempt to fend off competition from two newcomers. Also, Connor and Mitch discuss the significance of the designation last week of the 1890 Initiative as Nebraska's official collective. And Connor played several hours of EA Sports College Football 25 on Monday. Why should we care?

I have concerns about our kicker. How many games did Alvano miss last year where we lost by 3? How many were goals he should have made? We have been weak on field goal kickers for a long time. Bring in an expert give him serious NIL money to keep him. We could have won 8-10 games last year with a good

I wouldn't worry about Alvono yet. But he does need to start putting it together and be more accurate and consistent. The punter didn't seem to be very good either. I think they both are capable and will be improved this year, but it is something to keep an eye on.

suggestion to make this a better podcast: (already good, but can be better) 1) The man on the right, connor, needs to smile more, needs to be more proactive 2) Is good to fake it until you make it, but there are too many ads, sponsors, that makes the entire podcast's hardcore content percentage getting lower The entire length of the podcast can be a bit shorten as well. full podcast can range from 25min to 40 min, cuts can be 5 to 10 min. I mean we are still not in the season yet there aren't that many things to talk about actually.

Well, now, don't you tell me to smile You stick around I'll make it worth your while My number's beyond what you can dial Maybe it's because we're so versatile

What is 1890? A year? 1890 doesn't look good on a cap. Worst name ever. I Googled 1890. Google said, "Who?"

1890 was the first year UNL had a football team
