Josh and Jack relive one of the more glorious wins (first halves?) in recent Husker memory when they turn on the DOMINATING win by Matt Rhule and the Cornhuskers in the second game of the 2024 season. How did things go so right in the first half? What the hell went wrong in the second? And should it tell us anything about the program moving into year three? All that and more!

Josh and Jack start the weekend off with their Saturday staple, which is now free for all! They begin the pod by diving into the news about kickoff times, which leads to Jack being triggered by the notion that Nebraska needs to "earn" good kickoff times. Do people believe that? Are they right? They dive into it all. (6:56) Later, they unpack Josh's recent HuskerMax column and his reasons to be excited for the 2025 Huskers. Where is he right and does too much of the Emmett Johnson hype rely on the offensive line? Plus, what would a list of "five reasons to doubt the 2025 Huskers" look like? (40:45) They finish the episode with a little Husker baseball talk.

It was a weird day for Husker Twitter. Josh tries to explain it all to Jack in a way that makes sense for those who did and didn't have context. Why are national people bothered by Rhule? Does it make sense for so much conversation to be there about a coach that's gone 12-13 at his school?

Then, they discuss the in-state recruiting discussion that's been making its way around the Club lately with the guys trying to figure out how good the room will be, if it's even something they care about, and more.

Plus, some more info on the Groin Kick Chronicles project! Jack and Josh are going to take time off this weekend for the holiday. Back with the I-80 Club Summer Tour next week!
