Husker247 Podcast: Quite the Nebraska news cycle Dec 03, 2024

Show notes

The Husker247 Podcast tried to sneak in 45 minutes of chatting about Tony White, Dana Holgorsen and everything else that happened on Monday, but then Tuesday’s news cycle started to happen.

However before the news started rolling int he trio discussed White leaving for Florida State, why it may have happened, why despite White’s success it’s not as concerning as it may seem and who ultimately could replace the defensive coordinator.

Then a discussion took place about Holgorsen staying as an offensive coordinator, how this might be the single most important coaching move of the offseason for the Huskers and what things could look like with more time to install his vision for the Huskers.

And then the news started happening. First a wide receivers coach in Daniel Shorts. Then Daniel Kaelin entered the transfer portal.

Sunday Side Session: A dominant...loss Nov 30, 2024

Show notes

The Sunday Side Session came a day early as the Nebraska Cornhuskers played Iowa on Black Friday. The game felt like a repeat of so many of Nebraska’s inexplicable losses so to help break it down Ravi Lulla joined from Hurrdat Sports Media.

Things start with special teams talk and then work their way through the offense and eventually into specific players and performances.

Finally the two debate if the season is success and their own long-term outlook for Matt Rhule and the program under his guidance.

Husker247 Postgame Pod: Nebraska melts down in Iowa loss Nov 30, 2024

Finally a discussion ensues on if this season can be a success for Nebraska with just six wins and many issues still present.

Husker247 HypeCast: Iowa Nov 28, 2024

Show notes

It’s the last game of the regular season. Nebraska is already bowl eligible. So is Iowa. This version of Black Friday hasn’t played out since 2016 so…LETS GET HYPED!

The Nebraska Cornhuskers are looking for a seventh win but even more than that the team will be trying to continue the strong play from the offense as it put up 44 points a week ago against Wisconsin.

Who better to bring aboard for Iowa than Nebraska super fan and local radio extraordinaire Jack Mitchell? The panel discusses Nebraska’s offense, what to make of the Huskers’ renewed running game and then if the defense is up to the task of defending the same handful of run plays over-and-over-and over.

Finally it’s prediction time. There’s oddly specific predictions, pick to click predictions and, of course, a final score prediction — but this week in honor of Nebraska being bowl eligible the panel also each selected a bowl location and an opponent. Did anyone select the Pinstripe Bowl? Or Matt Rhule getting a massive tub of mayo dumped on him? Listen in and find out on this week’s Husker247 HypeCast.

Nebraska basketball picked up a huge win on Friday — but what’s next for the Huskers?

The Husker247 HoopsCast walks through the Creighton win, why it happened and what it means, but then shifts the conversation forward about upcoming games with South Dakota and North Florida.

No guess a random Husker Hooper this week but Brian Christopherson does explain what he’s thankful for as it relates to Nebraska basketball.
