November 18, 2024Is Nebraska Football Cursed? The Common Fans discuss Nebraska’s heartbreaking loss to USC.
- The loss to USC perfectly sums up the last decade of Husker football.
- The unlucky bounces, the inability to make crucial stops on defense when needed, the offense not being able to convert key opportunities: all of it is all too familiar to the Big Red faithful.
- The painful loss leaves the Common Fans wondering if Nebraska football is cursed.
- Can the Huskers win one of their last two to get to a bowl game?
- Have we seen enough through nearly two years of Matt Rhule to believe the team will turn a corner and take off in 2025?

...more November 13, 2024How Much of a Difference Can Dana Holgorsen Make? It’s another View from the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald’s Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk about the big Dana Holgorsen news and look ahead to USC.

...more November 11, 2024A Common Fan Tribute to Veterans (+ Comparing Rhule and Frost in Year 2) 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.

November 06, 2024Apathy on the Horizon in Husker Nation? It's another View From the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald's Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk about the hugely disappointing loss to UCLA and where Nebraska goes from here.
- Assessing Coach Rhule’s comment that he’s bringing in outsiders to evaluate the offense, defense, and special teams.
- Should a staff of over 70 coaches and analysts need to bring in extra eyes? Is this a sign of concern or confidence?
- Rhule also put the onus on players to some extent, saying players need to make plays and to take accountability when they don’t.
- Is he blaming the players or sending a message they need to hear?
- So frustrating for Nebraska fans seemingly having to live through the same thing over and over and over again.
The crew also discusses the lingering concern about apathy in the fan base:
- It may be impossible for Husker fans to ever reach the point of apathy, but it would be hard to blame fans for however they react to the current situation.
- Discussing former Husker Collin Miller’s Twitter thread calling out the crowd for a lack of energy.
- The Common Fans take issue with the idea that the fans are in any way the problem.
- Husker fans will continue to show up, and we’re strapping in for these last three games.
- Bowl game or bust!

...more November 04, 2024Nebraska Football: Trust No One The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s garbage performance against UCLA:
- When it comes to Nebraska football, you cannot trust anyone.
- Matt Rhule said the team played with a championship mindset against Ohio State; Nebraska showed the opposite of that against UCLA.
- Everyone is to blame: the Head Coach, the offense, defense, and special teams.
- The team came out flat, didn’t seem to have any answers against the Bruins.
- The Huskers appear to have gotten progressively worse since the win over Colorado.
- It continues to be so frustrating to see these performances when the fan base is so dedicated and is asked for more and more.
On the bright side, the Common Fans talk about their first ever tailgate:
- Special thanks to Certified Piedmontese, Chick-fil-A, and White Elm Brewing Company for supporting the tailgate and the Common Fan Podcast.
- Several friends of the program showed up. We love you all.
The boys also explore some questions heading into the bye week:
- Why doesn’t Heinrich Haarberg get more of a chance? Not as the starter, but to lead entire drives. It would help the offense and help Raiola.
- Will there be coaching changes after the season?
- How in any way is any of this acceptable?
- At this point, will Nebraska make a bowl game?

...more October 30, 2024No Excuses: Nebraska Needs to Beat UCLA It's another View From the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald's Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk about the tough loss to Ohio State and look ahead to UCLA.
- Husker fans have seen variations of the Ohio State game so many times over the years–close but not enough.
- Even so, Ohio State was a culture game. Coming off the loss to Indiana, Nebraska needed to show some guts and they did.
- Ohio State game showed Nebraska has a formula to win…if they can replicate that performance.
- Tough loss, but possibly the happiest the Common Fans have been after a Nebraska loss ever.
- Evaluating the multiple bad calls in the game: is officiating worse than it’s ever been?
Plus, looking ahead to UCLA:
- Worst rushing offense in the entire country.
- Quarterback Ethan Garbers has been a bright spot and looks to be healthy.
- A team with nothing to lose.
- Which Nebraska team will show up?
- If Ohio State really was a turning point, Nebraska should handle UCLA.
- There are no excuses at this point. Nebraska will be favored at home with bowl eligibility on the line. Win the game.
- Nebraska can win every game left on its schedule. How many will they win?

...more October 28, 2024Nebraska Can Win Any Game Left on the Schedule The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s heartbreaking loss to Ohio State:
- Husker Nation dealing with a wide range of emotions after yet another heartbreaking loss.
- Whether you’re feeling rage about the loss, or feeling more pensive and hopeful, all Common Fans are welcome.
- The boys are lamenting the missed opportunities, but ultimately feeling very encouraged about the direction of the program.
- Huskers showed a ton of fight the week after the disappointing, lopsided loss to Indiana.
- There are no moral victories, but this game can serve as a major turning point for the program.
- If Nebraska plays like that the rest of the season, they can win any game left on the schedule.
- All of that goes away though if the Huskers lose to UCLA. They need to keep up the same level of effort and intensity the rest of the way.
The boys also explore some questions heading into the bye week:
- Is John Hohl the answer at kicker?
- What’s the identity of this offense?
- Will Matt Rhule contemplate major shakeups on the coaching staff in the offseason?
- Can the Huskers bring this same effort and intensity the rest of the way?

...more October 23, 2024What to Make of the Nebraska Coaching Staff After Indiana Blowout? It's another View From the Blandstands, with the Omaha World Herald's Evan Bland joining the Common Fans to talk about the Indiana loss, assess the current state of the program, and look ahead to Ohio State.
- Frustrations from the Indiana game boil over.
- Would the loss feel better if the Huskers had lost 35-7 instead of 56-7?
- 104 FBS teams have beaten a top 25 team since the last time Nebraska did it.
- Nebraska fans wrestle with watching a historic loser vault to success with a first year head coach, while the Huskers fail to meet their moment and get over the hump.
- Offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield’s comments at his weekly press conference don’t help things.
- Satterfield’s comments don’t jive with how Matt Rhule has talked about wanting to run the ball.
- The OC also seemed lost on a question about yards per play, and his answer has the fan base buzzing.
- Is Satterfield’s inconsistency a reflection on Rhule?
- The Nebraska fan base is as devoted as they come, but they are also smart football fans, and the seeming disarray from the coaching staff only adds to the frustration.
- Huskers have to show some fight and have positive takeaways vs. Ohio State.

...more October 21, 2024Nebraska Loss to Indiana Completely Unacceptable in Every Way The Common Fans break down Nebraska’s meltdown loss against Indiana:
- Huskers implode in major test against the Hoosiers.
- Was this loss worse than any loss of the Frost era?
- A win over Indiana was never a guarantee, but no one saw Nebraska just completely failing to show up.
- Huskers tossed around at both lines of scrimmage.
- Belief that the defense could keep Nebraska in any game turned out to be way off base.
- Offense has gotten continually worse in Big Ten play.
- Too quick to abandon the run; no identity whatsoever.
- Turnover bug rears its ugly head for the first time all season.
- Psychology of a program: the entire Nebraska football program showing itself to be too mentally fragile…still.
- Yet another opportunity for the Nebraska football program to turn a corner, to take the next step as a program, and not only do they miss the opportunity, they completely do the opposite of what they needed to do.
- Common Fans still buying what Coach Rhule is selling, but the product on the field needs to catch up to what’s being said.
- Bottom line: performance completely unacceptable.
