    Ivy Insights

    The Early Break podcast is a must-listen for any Nebraska football fan or sports enthusiast. Hosted by Jake Sorensen, Mike Sautter, and Bill Busch, the show offers a unique blend of knowledge, humor, and insight that keeps listeners engaged from start to finish. These three guys have an incredible chemistry and it's clear that they have been working together for a long time. Their banter is hilarious, often making me laugh out loud during each episode. But don't mistake their humor for lack of professionalism - they are extremely knowledgeable and informative about all things Nebraska football.

    One of the best aspects of The Early Break is the in-depth coverage of Husker football. With their years of experience covering the team, Jake and Sip provide valuable insights into the program and college football as a whole. They offer behind-the-scenes stories from Bill Busch's time around the program, which add a fascinating layer to their discussions. The guests on the show are also well-informed and provide valuable perspectives on upcoming opponents and what's happening inside the program.

    However, there are a few aspects of the podcast that could be improved upon. Some listeners have expressed frustration with missing certain segments due to their schedule or location limitations. It would be helpful if there was a way to number the segments so that listeners can easily find where they left off or skip to specific topics if needed.

    In conclusion, The Early Break podcast is an outstanding source of information and entertainment for Husker football fans. Jake Sorensen, Mike Sautter, and Bill Busch make for an unbeatable trio with their knowledge, banter, and chemistry. While there may be some minor improvements that could be made regarding segment organization, overall this podcast is top-notch and should not be missed by any Nebraska football enthusiast.

How bizarre have the last 2 months been? Penn State got their first conference win last week and now sit at 4-6 overall…for a team that made the playoffs last year, are they really fighting to make a bowl game or do you see any signs of them possibly letting their guard down vs. Nebraska? Dylan Raiola is probably the most talented passer on Nebraska, but TJ Lateef is able to run…how much will that cause problems for the Nittany Lions defense?   Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
