With the Groin Kick Chronicles coming to a close, Jack and Josh rewatch one more heartbreaking loss; the 2018 defeat to Colorado in Scott Frost's first game as head coach. As with all of these rewatches, there was plenty they forgot on the long road to the end. What surprised them? What hurt more than they remembered? And with Jack saying the #4 game on the list was too high at the start, did he still feel that way at the end?

It's the final bit of pain in the Groin Kick Chronicles in this last crossover with Be Kind Husker Rewind. Get the ice ready. This one hurts.

Two weeks from week zero, Josh and Jack kick off another Saturday with some news about the I-80 Club: We're growing! Ben Stevens will join the I-80 Club soon for an all new show called the Big Ten Breakdown. They discuss what to expect, what it'll look like, and more.

Then, they dive into the latest discussions surrounding Husker football, including some pessimism on the defense. Is that pessimism founded?

Finally, they unpack a big question; what's the ceiling of Nebraska's offense?
