The conversation turned into a larger complaint about Ruhl’s fourth-down “metric” decision-making and guaranteed field goal percentage. They briefly talked about Nebraska basketball’s recent loss to Illinois and the upcoming games, concluding by praising longtime broadcaster Kent Pavelka and hoping the season will finally reward him with success in March.
