Josh and Jack start another weekend by talking about fandom, message boards, and going down memory lane with how they've taken in sports online over the last 20+ years.

Then, they get into the Unsportsmanlike Conduct Husker Expectations Poll question and try to figure out where these optimists are within Husker fandom and why none of them seem to listen to the I-80 Club.

They finish the pod with reasons for optimism in 2025 plus some announcements about the summer inside the I-80 Club.

Jack and Josh open this week's podcast like they always do: By talking about books, libraries, and starting a book club and/or book podcast inside the I-80 Club. (2:51)

After that, they get into the news of the day: Nebraska won't be adding a running back, at least not yet, to fill out the room. Why is this the case? Does Matt Rhule know something we don't? And if that room isn't better, what does it mean for the rest of the roster? (17:49)

They finish the pod by talking about the pressure on Dylan Raiola, the Nebraska pxp gig, and more! (39:19)

After a crazy night in the NFL Draft, Jack and Josh kick off the pod with plenty of thoughts on Shedeur Sanders' falling and falling, all the way out of the first, second, and third rounds. Why has this happened? How has this happened? Is the juice worth the squeeze for him? And where could he still end up?

Then, they turn their attention to the HUSKER GAMES and what, if anything, Jack will be watching for on Saturday at the stadium.

Finally, Jack's son Johnny stops by with a boots on the ground report of what he got at the garage sale!

Josh and Jack are back together for the first time in over a week and do so on the night of the 2025 NFL Draft! They take it all in, give takes on the suits and fashion of the draftees, and give many, many takes on the players and teams on their TVs.

Josh is out of town so Jack takes over solo, and he's been reading up! He's getting ready for the Big Ten and Big Picture CFB SZN, so he gives you an audio version of the old-school preseason magazine, including: 

• Consensus preseason ratings for the nation, Big Ten, and Nebraska opponents.
• Best players in the conference and nation.
• Big ten schedule analysis.
• Roster turnover within the Big Ten, plus, another huge crop of brand new quarterbacks.
• Former Huskers: Where are they now?
• Who would you identify as Nebraska's three best players coming to feature in a season preview? 

Plus, thoughts on the sort-of reborn Spring Game and a quick look at the Nebrasketball incoming transfer class. How does it compare to 2024 and what's left to fill?

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.

The guys talk with Nebraska's new coach on taking over her dream job, how long has she had her eye on John Cook's successor, and how it went down. They also discuss what we can we expect from Nebraska's style of play, assistant coaching roles, and why Nebraska will never play another spring match on Derby Day.

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!
