    How 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.  What Dana Holgorsen brings to the table.  How much of a difference can we really expect him to make this late in the season?  Discussing the changes we might see in the Nebraska offense.  Adopting Nebraska’s playbook more than implementing the Air Raid…but will there be any new wrinkles?  Holgorsen has a reputation for being a coach who is good at using the players at his disposal and putting them in positions to succeed.  Will Holgorsen be back in the same role in 2025? What about the rest of the offensive staff? Rhule proves once again that he refuses to stand pat and will make whatever changes he needs to make in order to get this right.  Plus, looking ahead to USC. Will Dylan Raiola be healthy enough to play vs. USC?  USC having to prepare for a new offensive coordinator, Nebraska having to prepare for new USC starting QB Jayden Maiava.  Assessing USC Head Coach Lincoln Riley’s comments about Holgorsen, Nebraska as a program, and the upcoming game.  Finally, if Husker fans could pick one of the last three games as a guaranteed win, which one would it be?

    A 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.

  4. Apathy on the Horizon in Husker Nation?

    Apathy 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!  All this and much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.

  5. Nebraska Football: Trust No One

    Nebraska 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?  This and so much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.

    No 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?

  7. Nebraska Can Win Any Game Left on the Schedule

    Nebraska 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?
