The funny thing is that he's obviously the fan favorite, at least with Bryant out. Loved hearing the stadium roar after his first carry today.

Ugh, that's what my gut is telling me...but I'm not sure it's a fair comparison is it? Nebraska had more cultural clout, more talent, and a 2001/2 national championship game still latent in our memories. Back then it felt like Callahan was burning the program to the ground. Now it feels like Riley's trying to start an old lawnmower that just won't kick into gear.

I wanted to see what people were saying amidst all the rumors of hirings, firings, and other what-ifs.

It's super, super depressing to come here today feeling like nothing has changed. Maybe that's only how I feel today, but dang. With all the 2007 talk going around Twitter and elsewhere, I can't help but ask: "Is Nebraska any better off? Are we worse off?"

How about those of you who have been here longer - does it have a familiar feel around here? Like I said, I arrived in the middle of the downward spiral so I can't accurately gauge the trajectory and attitude of the fans. How are you feeling about the situation?

Maybe they need to rethink the mascot name if it bothers them so much.

 

 

Holy crap yes. Yes, Memorial Stadium is surrounded by concrete, but this is an ad for the CORNHUSKERS. It's a play on Children of the CORN. It makes sense, and it's effective advertising.

We don't need to prove that eastern Nebraska is "civilized." Anyone with half a brain already knows that.

Man, I forgot that this project even existed...now y'all have me bummed all over again haha

Plenty of 90's Huskers documentaries exist though, right? Would anyone care to recommend some, preferably with Youtube links?

Totally! We were both struck by how personable he was...the interview went about 10 minutes longer than we asked because he wanted to keep talking.

Thanks so much for listening!

Hey folks! It's been a while since I shared the Husker Football Fan Podcast here...since things are about to slow down for the summer I figured I'd remind everyone that we publish episodes year-round

Here's our latest episode, in which we discuss our takeaways from the spring game and react to the naming of Tanner Lee as Nebraska's first-string quarterback:

Ah man and I was all excited about Ohio State's numbers being down...

At least Nebraska has been consistent the past few years. I hope they keep investing it and letting it play out like a real game. This year it actually felt like I was watching a game instead of a bunch of drills.

The first time I watched it I thought to myself, "Why would he include the missed FG?" But the more I think about it, I'm glad that you're including a well-rounded representation of the game. Some highlight videos even make our losses look good; what I like about yours is that a year from now I can go back and watch this to get a feel for what the game was like. Keep up the great work!

Ok I came here because of the Hobo U comment that I heard on TV yesterday, come to find out this is an entire pattern of behavior from the guy. Keep this thread going guys, I love it!

Here's the preview episode we recorded over the summer...bear in mind that no one really expected Northwestern to start as poorly as they did:

There's also some talk about the matchup on our current episode, but it's mainly our reaction to the Oregon game: http://huskerpod.libsyn.com/s02e13-fortune-favors-the-bold-92016

I got Mike Wazowski'd

I haven't read everything in this thread, but after glancing over the last couple of pages I just want to say that I think it's awesome that we're even having this discussion. Sure, we were spoiled by the likes of Helu / Burkhead / Abdullah, but this year we have four options at running back. Four!

We're spoiled. In years past we were wondering if we could even win games without Burkhead or Abdullah. Now (as we saw last weekend) if someone gets dinged up we don't have to run them into the ground until they're injured for real. Newby was having some issues so Ozigbo picked up the slack. Awesome.

I'm going the opposite way with this. For once I'd like to see Nebraska completely trounce Northwestern. What a statement it would make if Nebraska could make it to 4-0 with a blowout over Northwestern coming off last week!

Not gonna lie, I'm probably going to take advantage of this deal at some point this fall...you can hate on McDonalds all you want, but a Big Mac is still a Big Mac

I think this is over-analyzing for sure. Could be a generational thing, could be the way he talked at Oregon State, who knows...he hasn't given any indication whatsoever that he isn't committed. He wouldn't have uprooted his entire life only to come here for a year and a half.

I hope they get this stuff cleaned up in the coming weeks. Thankfully we haven't seen too many false starts or technique errors...kids need to stop making poor decisions and it will take care of itself!

I'm going to start posting these here instead of making a new thread...here's a direct link to this week's episode of the Husker Football Fan Podcast:

This week we spoke with a friendly Oregon fan about his thoughts leading up to the game - you'll be pleased to hear he's expecting a Nebraska win The full Oregon segment begins at about 34:08.

And for what it's worth, one of the reasons we started ours is because I missed the Huskers Gameday podcast, which I used to listen to faithfully. When we started (spring 2015), there really wasn't much out there.

 

yep. this was in reply to another post about is everyone starting a podcast now. Obviuolsy my broad brush doenst paint everyone.

 

Right on. Sorry for the defensiveness...just trying to protect our baby, ha. It's a labor of love, and we certainly have no delusions of grandeur

You're probably thinking of ours (I posted yesterday), and no it's not

Noted, though. Maybe I'll relegate it to the pregame thread and an autosig...I don't want to gum up the boards.
