This week, Zach and Vance dive into a packed lineup of football, politics, and a few Nebraska curveballs.

🏈 Nebraska vs USC:

Huskers fall 21-17 after Dylan Raiola’s season-ending leg injury. Backup T.J. Lateef couldn’t get the offense rolling, but Emmett Johnson still crossed 1,000 yards on the year with 165 in the loss. USC gashed the Blackshirts for 202 on the ground while Nebraska’s defense held their passing game to its worst day in seven years. Next up: UCLA.

🏀 Husker Hoops:

Fred Hoiberg notched career win #200 as Nebraska dominated West Georgia 86-53 — Frager dropped 22 and the team owned the glass 49-37.

🏈 NFL:

Jordan Love threw maybe the worst ball of 2025, Dallas mourns DE Marshawn Kneeland, and the trade deadline went nuclear — Sauce Gardner to Indy, Quinnen Williams to Dallas, the Eagles loading up, and half the league shaking rosters.

🏘 Local:

Norfolk City Council flips the old Mi Tienda Hernandez grocery into a liquor-store zoning, PD breaks ground on a $7 million expansion, and campaign filings show Dan Osborn paying his wife’s new consulting firm $114K off-disclosure.

🗽 In Other News:

Sen. Rick Scott’s No Budget No Pay Act blocked by Dems.

Ron Johnson warns the filibuster fight is heating up.

Pelosi retires after calling Trump a “vile creature” — and he fires right back.

Meanwhile, Zohran Mamdani’s socialist win in New York has even Stephen A. Smith fuming, and Dr. Oz joins Secretary Brooke Rollins in exposing how six Dem-run states allegedly funneled federal healthcare money to illegals.

It’s politics, sports, and plenty of Useless Assumptions — where the facts are true, but the assumptions… never are.
