In this episode, we discuss Bob Wager's DUI arrest and his consequent resignation from the University of Nebraska. Our focus is not on further criticizing Wager but understanding the potential impact of his actions on the team, especially recruitment in Texas. We introduce you to the new Tight End coach, exploring his background and potential contribution to the Huskers in this challenging time. Join us as we navigate this complicated situation, recognizing that football is about more than just the game on the field.

In this week's episode, we dive into the transformative impact of Matt Rhule's first eight months at Nebraska. From revitalizing recruitment for the 2023 and 2024 classes to smart utilization of the transfer portal, Rhule has profoundly reshaped our program.

We take a look back at our initial expectations, contrasting them with the impressive reality Rhule has engineered. Emphasizing our strengthened foothold in Texas and his ripple effect throughout the entire athletic department, it's clear that Rhule is the rising tide lifting all Husker boats.

Yet, it's his ability to rekindle the Husker spirit among the fanbase that truly stands out, and we explore this in a heartwarming, humorous comparison: Matt Rhule is giving the program, and the fans, a big, grandfatherly embrace.

We’re talking about PRACTICE, as the great A.I. would say…we recap the offseason and talk a little bit about what we expect Spring Training to show us. Fidone is emerging and some of the new guys are showing out. How many players leave and how many are still playing the same position they were playing at the end of last season?
