Husker247 Podcast

There’s still two weeks until Nebraska play a football game, but a lot has been happening for the Huskers during fall camp.  Let Husker247 bring you up to speed with another podcast from the trio delves into how things have gone for Nebraska during camp, as well as some thoughts from Michael Bruntz, Brian Christopherson and Mike Schaefer about where the Huskers find themselves right now. Things kick off with some news and notes discussion as the trio walks through the departure of Zavier Betts and then gets an injury report to assess where the roster sits at this point.  After a brief break in the action things return as Bruntz and Christopherson list the things that stand out in a positive way this camp, as well as elevating some concerns ahead of the forthcoming football season.  As a bonus Christopherson reviews a Blue’s Traveler concert he recently attended.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of the Husker247 Podcast the guys talk stocks — or at least the Nebraska football stock market where the action is always all over the place.  Mike Schaefer brings a list of six names and Michael Bruntz and Brian Christopherson determine stock up, stock down or holding steady based on what they’ve heard during fall camp so far. Then the conversation shifts to some early news, notes and a quick look at a few position groups that are standing out in a good way or have some real question marks early on in fall camp.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In this week’s episode, Michael Bruntz and Brian Christopherson break down the start of fall camp — hot takes, positions to watch, positions to be concerned about and how things are shaping up after a few days for Matt Rhule’s team.  The secondary gets extra attention this week following the news that veteran safety Myles Farmer was entering the transfer portal. How does that group shake out and which safeties can step in and fill the void for the Huskers?  In the second segment, the guys discuss the opening part of Nebraska’s trip to Spain and Wednesday’s news about transfer guard Ahron Ulis being charged in an Iowa gambling probe.  Finally, the guys discuss the on-going rumors of conference re-alignment and what’s popped up in the media in recent days.

Michael Bruntz makes a triumphant return to Husker247 and he hits the ground running with plenty of Big Ten Media Days talk and even throws a few thoughts on Nebraska’s overtime history since he missed the podcast. First though Bruntz and Mike Schaefer discuss what to expect from Nebraska this week as Matt Rhule will make his conference debut of sorts in Indianapolis. Will Rhule lay out a lot of news for the hungry media members in attendance or do we anticipate this will be more big picture about his vision for the program and the conference? Then the two discuss how Nebraska’s player representatives will be received. Bruntz is looking forward to chatting more with Jeff Sims, who had a brief media availability this spring, but has otherwise been largely quiet. Schaefer wants to know what Ethan Piper has to say about things and both wonder if he isn’t currently stealing someone’s job. Then there’s Luke Reimer — what stands out to the veteran about Nebraska’s new look defense and who exactly will be playing wi

The Husker247 Podcast wanted to use its downtime in July wisely and that’s how Thursday’s episode ended being devoted entirely to Nebraska’s history with overtime games. The Huskers have played in 15 overtime games since the rule change and on the podcast Mike Schaefer and Brian Christopherson walk through them — sometimes in painful and painstaking detail.  Which coach spent the most time in overtime games? Who had the most success? Worst loss? Best showing?  All those questions are answered and many more memories are discussed as Husker247 walks through the 15 overtime games and even offers a glimmer of hope for the future at the end.

Mike Schaefer and Brian Christopherson got together on Monday to talk about where Nebraska’s recruiting class sits after the latest addition in Preston Taumua. First though the two discussed what Taumua means in the class and why it reflects well on the future for Donovan Raiola in his attempts to bring more players from Hawaii to the mainland and specifically to Nebraska.  Then the two size up what the efforts have been on the offensive line with a conversation about the commitments the Huskers have so far and how Logan-Magnolia’s Grant Brix is the biggest target on the team’s board at this time.  After a short break the duo returned to run through the Summer Superlatives and walked through some of the categories and discussed a few possible answers, why it’s difficult to find an instant impact player is in the class and just who might be the best player in Nebraska’s 2024 class.

Mike Schaefer and Brian Christopherson got together on Tuesday to chat about the latest happenings in Nebraska football as the Huskers first season under Matt Rhule inches a little closer. On Tuesday after some obligatory baseball talk the two from Husker247 dive into the schedule a little as the question is posed — which game stands out for the 2023 schedule? From there it’s wondering which 50/50 game does Nebraska look destined to win, what game might be considered a trap game this season and which game might be the most difficult with where it falls on the schedule? After a spirited schedule discussion — which featured a healthy amount of Michigan debate regarding JJ McCarthy — conversation shifted over to Nebraska’s offensive line.  Who is the X-Factor for Nebraska? Both hosts had different answers for which player could be most critical up front.  Finally the Mount Rushmore challenge emerges but this time with a twist.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.auda

The Husker247 Podcast returned on Friday for a quick look at the upcoming visit weekend the Huskers have in store.  Mike Schaefer and Brian Christopherson ran through the names expected on campus and talked out the players who stand out among the visit list.  There’s discussion on Mario Buford and how he’s been a key target for several years, how Joseph Anderson represents what the Huskers have been chasing since Matt Rhule arrives, how Caleb Pyfrom would be a big recruiting win and then how it could be a widely important weekend if Nebraska lands some early commitments for the month.  After that the two discuss the big camps the Huskers have going in June and how it’ll be interesting to see if the staff finds any recruits at these camps they end up offering and how they’ll attack things relative to what we saw under Scott Frost, Mike Riley and Bo Pelini.  Finally the question is thrown out in honor of the upcoming fullback camp — who is on Nebraska’s Mount Rushmore of past fullbacks?  To learn more about l

Husker247 convened for another podcast on Tuesday and Mike Schaefer and Brian Christopherson discussed a few different topics following Memorial Day. Here’s what the duo hit on after briefly discussing the nice long weekend: — Which incoming freshmen are players who could push for early playing time for the Huskers in the 2023 season? — Each of Christopherson and Schaefer discuss a wide receiver that could get more early playing time than some might expect. — How the 2023 class is going to be graded on what happens in the trenches and why guys like Jason Maciejzak and Sua Lefotu could help while also retaining redshirts.  — Schaefer looks into the future and gives his prediction for the safest bet to be a starter in the 2023 class beyond kicker Tristan Alvano. — Christopherson talks legacies and why Danny Noonan could line up for some snaps right now.  — After an intermission the duo hit on Nebraska’s secondary and the Huskers are hoping for some breakout years from a few players who just got their feet wet i

Husker247 gathered on Wednesday morning to talk about Nebraska baseball’s chances in the Big Ten Tournament and the newest addition for the Huskers for this season and the 2024 class. The podcast starts with some baseball chatter as Mike Schaefer and Michael Bruntz walk through the scenarios with the Big Ten Baseball Tournament.  Unsurprisingly it’s important for the Huskers to navigate the first game successfully to avoid a difficult and very unlikely path back to the Big Ten Championship game.  Bruntz explains some of the key players who will have to step up and gives some updates on the status of Brice Matthews, who missed time with a back injury. From there conversation turns to Nebraska’s new additions Daniel Kaelin and Tyler Knaak. The two start with Kaelin and what a weird journey it was for the Huskers to end up with the Bellevue West quarterback despite several stops and starts over the year. From there they discuss what they think Nebraska is getting with Kaelin and what it means for the quarterback

The Husker247 Podcast returned on Tuesday and noted just how quickly 2023 seems to be flying, which only means football is going to be here sooner than we think. Conversation began remembering the days of hanging out in the magazine aisle at the store, leafing through the preview magazines and trying to get the scoop on the Big 12 or college football at large.  That lead to a discussion on tight ends and what we can expect from Nebraska’s position room in 2023, as the Huskers have a lot of potential contributors, more questions than answers and frankly a lot of intrigue at a spot that could be important this fall.  Among the conversations — who is at the top of the room? What kind of spring did Thomas Fidone have? Why we shouldn’t forget about Janiran Bonner and much more.  Then Mike Schaefer tries to put Brian Christopherson on the spot and ask the longtime beat writer for his Nebraska tight end Mount Rushmore. Who made the cut?  Finally after a technology challenged transition the duo discussed Dylan Raiola
