Common Fan - A Nebraska Football Podcast

A Common Fan Tribute to Veterans (+ Comparing Rhule and Frost in Year 2)

Listen Later

The Common Fans are joined by longtime friend Nic Olsen, a fellow Common Fan and U.S. Army veteran. 

  • Nic talks about his journey from enlistment through basic training, and shares his experiences through six years in the Army:  
    • Going through basic training. 
    • Deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan. 
    • Differences between servine in Iraq vs. Afghanistan. 
    • Watching classic Husker games while deployed.  
    • What Veterans Day means to him. 

      • The Common Fans also discuss a thought provoking email from a loyal listener, asking if things are any better at this point under Rhule as compared to the Frost tenure at the same point: 

      • Slow start in year one with reasons for optimism in year two surrounding a new quarterback.
      • Moral victories around games with Ohio State.
      • Losses that should have been wins (but no wins that should have been losses.)
      • Talented skill position players in the slot (Wandale / Barney Jr)
      • A side of the ball that gave us flashes of confidence (the offense with Frost and the defense with Rhule).
      • A highly sought after coach who hired a bunch of his friends to make up his staff.
      • Below average special teams.

        • The boys agree the offense is the main problem, and hone in on the offensive line in particular. 

        One thing can alter the trajectory of the program for the better: get at least one more win and get to a bowl game in Year 2.

        This and so much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.
