Show notes

Nebraska football got the elusive sixth win so now what? The Husker247 Pod believes the Huskers, like the other 70-some teams who have six wins, should move forward and look to add to its success.

Mike Schaefer and Brian Christopherson talk through Nebraska’s win against Wisconsin, how the Huskers pulled it off, why the offensive performance wasn’t that surprising and which players stood out in the win.

The show finishes up with a conversation about Malachi Coleman and then a larger conversation about all the player movement to come and that we’re a week from Early Signing Day.

Sunday Side Session: Hello bowl eligibility Nov 24, 2024

Show notes

For the first time in show history the Sunday Side Session discussed a sixth win making the Nebraska Cornhuskers bowl eligible. The fact it followed a Friday night hoops win against in-state rival Creighton only added to the celebratory nature of the weekend.

So given this who better to join than 93.7 The Ticket’s Jake Sorensen to discuss both the Huskers 44-25 beatdown of Wisconsin and Nebraska’s deconstruction of the Creighton offense.

Things start with football and the Nebraska offense which looked comfortable and confident on Saturday against the Badgers. What stood out to Schaefer and Sorensen on that side of the ball?

Then a discussion about Nebraska’s secondary both short-term and long-term as the Huskers have issues even if Iowa seems unlikely to exploit them.

Finally the two giddily discuss the strong defensive performance from the Nebraska front court against Ryan Kalkbrenner and how the Huskers move forward after a big win.

Husker247 HypeCast: Wisconsin Nov 21, 2024

Show notes

Nebraska is running out of opportunities for the elusive sixth win so it’s time to get hyped for the Huskers as the team hosts Wisconsin on Saturday.

These similarly matched teams look to play close again on Saturday and special guest Connor Happer joins Husker247 to break down the action.

What does Dana Holgorsen’s second game look like? Can Nebraska get more from the running game? Which personnel changes should we expect?

Then it’s onto defense — how do the Huskers bounce back after a tough showing against USC?

Finally it’s time for predictions. Does anyone see Nebraska winning?

Husker247 HoopsCast: Can Huskers bounce back at Creighton? Nov 20, 2024

Show notes

The Husker247 HoopsCast returns on Wednesday to discuss Nebraska’s performance against Saint Mary’s, Fred Hoiberg’s thoughts ahead of the next game against Creighton and the aforementioned game against the Jays.

Both Mike Schaefer and Brian Christopherson are in agreement that spurts of the game against Saint Mary’s featured some of the best play Nebraska has had on the hardwood this season. However the team couldn’t stay out of its own way long enough. Still Berke Buyuktuncel emerging as an option is a good thing going forward and Brice Williams showed he’s capable of pulling Nebraska into a game.

Will that be enough against Creighton? The two debate the game and what would have to happen for the Huskers to pull a big upset in Omaha.

The show finishes with a one-hit wonder for guess a random Husker hooper. Who is it this week?

Husker247 Pod: Searching for the sixth win Nov 19, 2024

Show notes

The Husker247 Podcast returned on Tuesday to discuss Nebraska’s game against USC, the changes we saw from the offense and more.

Conversation actually started about California weather and if Michael Bruntz and Brian Christopherson are beach people but things eventually shifted to football.

When the pigskin was discussed Husker247 hit on some defensive issues, personnel changes and how things are tracking.

Finally a discussion on what athletic director Troy Dannen had to say, how the Huskers overcome tight play and why this senior class controls its own narrative.

Sunday Side Session: Familiar issues plague Huskers Nov 17, 2024

Show notes

This week on the Sunday Side Session Mike Schaefer is joined by 93.7 The Ticket radio man Nick Sehnert as the two discuss the Huskers loss to USC.

The conversation covered the running theme of Nebraska not seizing on opportunities both on offense and on defense as the Huskers were unable to take advantage in the loss.

The two also discussed the outlook for Nebraska with two games remaining, how the offense looked with Dana Holgorsen and if the running game that looked solid on Saturday can be carried over to the final two weeks of the season.

Husker247 Postgame Pod: A close loss again Nov 17, 2024

Show notes

The Husker247 Postgame Podcast convened to discuss the latest close but not good enough loss for the Huskers after the 28-20 defeat at the hands of USC.

Mike Schaefer and Michael Bruntz discussed the Huskers latest performance and started with some coaching decisions including timeout usage like the one during the fourth quarter to punt and then the lack of tacking one during the final drive which likely cost the team more opportunities at the end zone late.

The two ran through Nebraska’s offense and what looked different under Dana Holgorsen and where things can still stand to improve as the Huskers finished with just 30 points and barely crept past 300 yards of total offense.

Finally what has happened with Nebraska’s defense and is it time to get some younger players in on the back end as the Huskers veterans struggled in the loss.
