Fun story from 10 years ago when I got my start. I’m from Papillion so I called all of the OWH people to be on my new Lincoln #Huskers show. They all told me “get more established & I’ll be on”, one asked to be paid more than I made (per show) at the time to be on. (Continued)
So I was a little discouraged and I called @HuskerExtraSip to ask him, to be honest I was a lot discouraged and thought I’d never get anyone on the show. I was embarrassed. Sip said “of course” and he was the first person I ever interviewed. (Continued)
He came on with us before the spring game 10 years ago, he answered all of my silly first time interview questions with the same Sipple tendencies we have all came to love and the interview was over. He was high on Bo and excited for the season... (continued)
That week Stan (my cohost) & I went to the spring game. Nervous as hell... no one was talking to us. We were new...then walked up Sip. All giggles, says hi & we start talking boxing. It was awesome. He told me what ever I needed he would help me out. Advice for days.(continued)
I have never forgotten how @HuskerExtraSip was the one dude that wrapped his arms around me & said welcome.I have tried to treat every new media member the same over the years.A lot of the staples In the #Huskers media started on my show & it’s bc I was trying to be Steve Sipple
