I-80 Club

It's a football-heavy pod in mid-April! Josh and Jack go down a long and winding road of looking back at the last decade of Husker football, offensive futility, and how players haven't lived up to expectations in recent years. Why has this been the case? Who has matched or exceeded expectations?

They unpack it all and then try to find the players that could exceed expectations in 2025. Are they any obvious names?

This leads into a final big picture discussion about Emmett Johnson and why they find themselves so bullish on his 2025 season.

Plus, LOVB Omaha reaches the league championship match, the Supernovas clinch a PVF playoff berth and John Cook's name goes on the arena he never wanted (until he did).

Jack and Josh start another weekend with coffee, Husker talk, and reaction to the latest news!

They start by look at the Nico Iamaleava holdout at Tennessee and what kind of fit they think he could find elsewhere. This later turns into a discussion where they try to figure out which schools need (and could afford) a QB like Nico as well as some random trash talk about Wisconsin in 2025.

Then, they dive into the meat of the pod: The Husker Football Grid! Great players, average players, and bad players that are loved, hated, and have split-support from the Husker fans. Some categories are easy! Others, not so much. Play along and enjoy!

Jack and Kaleb get together for an unplanned impromptu After Nebrasketball after the Huskers win The Crown! They discuss what it does and doesn't mean, if this team's fanbase is using this as a pretext to dismiss this season's failures, or if the voices from outside the fanbase are beating down a straw man. Plus, what worked this week that didn't throughout the year and what next year might look in light of what the team showed in Vegas.

Josh and Jack start another weekend with a bunch of different topics, including:

• Rumors about a departing player on the football roster.
• Interest (or lack thereof) in the rev-share that's coming to college sports.
• Jack's dislike of the current NIL structure vs. Josh's ambivalence.

Then, they dive into the big discussion of the week: Putting together a time capsule for the 2025 football season. They look all around for questions that need to be answered to tell the story of the season, including Dylan Raiola, Dana Holgorsen, Mike Ekeler, the #2 running back, and the entire defensive side of the ball.

They finish the pod with a little hoops news and a tiny, tiny preview of The Crown!

Jack Mitchell and Josh Peterson get together in the leadup to Nebraska's second game in THE CROWN to talk... well, lots of things. In particular, they dive into the topic that's taken Husker media by storm this week: Coverage of Husker football. What is too much, why should it be different, and how would that happen?

Plus, which Husker media members are the most positive and most negative?

They also discuss the 90s Chicago Bulls and comps that era had, Huskers vs. Cowboys in 90s success, the passage of time, and the length of shorts.
