My name is Ally Jackson. I'm the host of Finding Mr. Height,

a dating and relationship podcast that I've been doing for four years now,

sharing my positive and practical approach to dating that's built on my own life experience.

And I wanted to share another experience that I've had,

my secret behind monetizing my show. It's called Red Circle,

and I was just telling my colleague about how much I love their platform,

with Red Circle not only am I getting a seamless hosting experience,

but I also love the support I receive in AdSales.

It's not just typical AdSales either.

It's targeted opportunities based on my show and my life.

And the platform is super simple.

More recently too, my Red Circle team has brought me opportunities outside of my podcast

on social media.

Sponsored by the downtown Lincoln Foundation, on 93 seven the ticket.

Paint your face.

Paint it. Paint your face solid and cream paint it.

Hustle nation pump up the muscles, pump them up, pump them up, get the bicycle.

We need to style it.

Zap for the arms.

Love your hair.

Get it big.

Go big red hair.

Go big red hair.

Get your Husker warrior.

We're spreading through the hay market.

We're running through OKC.

We're shaking the buildings.

And we raise the glass to the mighty warrior.

It's a fun time.

Get your warrior on.

The ultimate.

The ultimate Huskers.

The ultimate Huskers.

But that's what we need to do.

I really need to trademark the Husker warrior face paint.

I need to find somebody that can do that and we need to get that done.

And you need, but we also need to sell like the set of like the arm bands and the leg bands.

Yeah.

Like the ones like we can do the boots.

The boots with the the Husker boots with the tassels for dudes like wrestling boots.

Oh yeah, I need to be done.

Steven.

Yes, he goes ultimate DP.

Yep.

Airfield.

The power of the war.

W-A-R-Y-E-R.

The warriors.

Merp says this.

What up fellas?

I too have been here from people that are pooping Nebraska winning versus Troy.

It all makes sense when you describe the angst of Jake.

It is all the defensive mechanism.

They want to believe but they can't.

They've been hurt far too many times.

Yeah, I understand it.

I understand it.

But love requires that I tell you that I speak truth to it.

Like in full.

I love Husker fans.

For the angst and otherwise like I get it.

Like when I first got here, I didn't understand the the angst.

But back when we start doing post game shows, people ask what are you doing?

Why do you think people want to come and talk about this basketball program?

That's because they do.

They're in pain.

And sometimes in the pain, there's therapy.

Right as as AD likes to say inside the message, inside the mess, there's a message.

You just have to look for it.

And we found common ground and we found the common meeting place and then we found a brotherhood

sisterhood.

We found family that every game after post game for the for the last five years.

Post game show, Bach and I would fight through snow and bad weather and horrible temperatures

and ridiculously bad basketball.

To come sit with you guys for an hour and 90 minutes every every every night.

All with the hope that someday,

the program would get it together and oh, Bach.

26 and 6.

Now, if we had said that four years ago, Bach, what would you have said?

I said, hey, Bach, don't worry. Don't don't worry.

Friends, you're going to get it right.

They'll be second in the big 10 in no time.

What would you have said?

I don't believe when I say it.

Right?

Like sometimes you have to be shown.

And you have to if we get it, right?

Because all the other metrics say this has never happened and there's a reason.

But Indiana is the voice of change.

They are the epitome of change in the big 10 at a high level.

Because they did it in football.

They did it in football and Bach.

Am I wrong in saying that it is far more likely for Nebraska to get it right in basketball

than it was for Indiana to get it right in football?

Yeah, I mean, the less players, less the less than yeah, I'd say so.

Every metric.

Every single thing that it was it's absolutely more likely.

It was absolutely more likely because Indiana fans will tell you there's no way we're

winning the big 10. There's no way we're getting to the big 10 conference game.

There's no way we're going to win a national championship.

It's Indiana football.

Never happened.

We're not even close.

We're not even in the stratosphere.

How dare us dream.

But there's something that did.

Signity walked in and said listen quite frankly.

What was was.

This is what is and what it will be.

Will be Indiana football at its highest level.

And so now it's an opportunity for Nebraska basketball.

Often in these runs, these epic runs and change of culture and change in transition,

people use two words.

They use two words and they're appropriate.

Vox, do you know what those two words are?

No, that why not.

If you're a podcast host, listen up this ones for you.

Why not Nebraska?

Why not the Huskers?

Why not?

Is I challenge you to name a basketball program

in a basketball fan base

that is more entitled to an epic run

than Nebraska basketball fan?

Bach, can you name?

Can you think of anybody

who has gone through the torture and friction and pain

like Nebraska Husker basketball fans

and who are more deserving

of the opposite end of the spectrum?

And what's the opposite end of the spectrum

to never having one a tournament game?

Bach, what is the opposite end of that spectrum?

Winning in all, yes.

Why not Nebraska?

Why not the Huskers?

We know it's possible.

Is it possible?

I'm I'm wrong.

Oh, absolutely.

It's possible.

Do they have the pieces

to win games,

meaningful games in March?

Now more than ever.

How many games, how many wins would it take

for this miracle to happen?

Five?

Five.

Five.

Has Nebraska shown the ability

to win five straight basketball games this season?

They have.

Have they have they shown the ability

to beat five really good teams in basketball this year?

Yeah.

So let's all say it in the Will Ferrell voice.

So you're saying we have a chance.

So you're saying there's a chance.

Because there is.

And that's all there is.

That's why it's the madness.

And I'm not.

Listen.

But Tony John says just win one game, please.

I'm sorry.

I I understand.

Yeah, I'm I'm saying win the one game.

I'm saying win the one game.

But I'm saying beat Troy.

And we have until Thursday to be Troy.

And the rest of it is in play.

But you cannot bear fruit of something you do not plant seeds for.

You cannot reap harvest where you are not planting for that harvest.

Jim Carrey said that.

Sorry, my bad.

Thank you, country.

That's why we're building Bennett the star.

So you're saying we have a chance.

Go one and oh five times.

The first one's the big one, right?

First one's the big one because you got to take the training rules off, right?

Get kicked tires and say rubber beats the road.

But it's possible.

It's possible.

Does this team play hard?

But oh yeah.

Is this team tough?

Yep.

Are they talented?

Yep.

Well coached.

Absolutely.

Multifaceted.

Yeah.

Defend first.

Yes.

Those are things that stand on.

Firm ground.

Ten toes down to winning NCAA tournament games.

They have to win one.

I get it.

I absolutely get it.

But Bob, these folks don't know me.

I've been around too many programs.

Too many levels to walk in the pipes again.

Well, we've never.

That's the way it's always been.

You know what's always what was always been the ticket was the thing.

It was the way it was until it's not the way it was.

You know why?

If somebody has to come in and change the thing.

Somebody has to come in and shake the the space.

Somebody has to change the spectrum.

And I understand the people out there.

And that's it.

But if you tell me, so Frank says we don't rebound.

Everybody has their we don't rebound.

Every single team in the tournament.

Sixty-eight teams, they all have their rebound thing.

It just may not be rebound.

It can be lack of size.

It could be three point shooting.

It could be tough possession scores.

It could be free throws.

It could be a defending in space.

Defending the three defending in the paint.

It could be coaching.

It could be scheme.

It could be a lot of things.

Every single sixty-eight teams in this tournament have their rebound.

They all have it.

But the teams that will win Thursday and Friday.

We'll answer their questions Thursday and Friday.

That's it.

So you got to do.

So you got to do.

I'm going to be consistent.

I'm looking forward to the Huskers first win.

Thursday against Troy.

I'll be consistent.

I'm not speaking to anything else.

I won't do it.

I don't believe it.

I'll say that again.

Don't ask me to speak on something.

I don't believe it.

And I don't believe in this team losing to Troy.

But that's just me.

And you're not wrong in how you feel.

But neither am I.

We'll close out.

We'll talk about the ladies and Cleveland when we come back to one another.
