8 by 80, the Nebraska 8-Man Football Podcast

This is it! The championships are upon us, and 3 road teams claimed wins in the semifinals to set up a really compelling set of matchups. Get set for Sandy Creek-Crofton and St. Mary's- Wynot with Tyler and Austin!

4 games for a trip to Lincoln. Some teams we thought we'd see, some surprises, but all matchups filled with storylines to watch so we broke down as much as we could!

Quarterfinal time! With 8 games of the the best teams playing their best ball, we get set for what might be the best Friday of the year with, mercifully, no upset picks made at the end.

The rest of the state is just getting started with playoffs, but we're already a week in in 8-man. That means 16 top tier matchups-across two classes to break down!

Last round of previews! We've got information on our bracket challenge, all 16 first round matchups for D2, and some quick upset picks!

Two 32-team brackets means two shows to give every matchup a fair breakdown, starting with D1! No pick segment or top 10s but stick around to hear our upset picks!

Two big days of games, and by Saturday we'll know playoff brackets! Get set for it all with our stat lines, top-10s, and picks headed into Week 8!

Split recording schedule this week, so Austin Hamm will take you through the stat lines and freshman of the week, Tyler Smith will run down the D1 top 10, then Austin will be back with the D2 portion!

We got some stuff wrong last week? Did we learn from it? Who's to say, the stat leaderboards are working again so we had to dive into some stat lines and get ready for maybe the biggest week yet for our top 10 teams.

Dramatically improved audio quality and just in time because there are some WICKED matchups this week, starting with a cross-class clash on Thursday and some top-10 battles on Friday!

Halfway already?! It gets late early in an 8 game season, so get set for a BIG week 4 with us! (Apologies on this weeks audio issues)

Just Austin this week but we still had to have a show, because the top two teams in D1 put a STAMP on the early season, and the D2 has a chance to follow suit this week!

We took some time to digest, but it's time to get into what we got right and wrong at the state meet before we turn the page to football!

Tyler & Austin dig into the biggest storylines for the NSAA Class C & D State Track Meet!

It's District week and Tyler is BACK so we did 90 minutes previewing EVERY SINGLE DISTRICT in C & D.

Only half the crew online tonight, but we needed to highlight so class leading marks, injury returns and big matchups.

Little different format off the holiday as we had some schools take a long road trip to do some special things. And those performances rolled into a BIG Tuesday that we discuss a little as well.
