Cole Stukenholtz & Nate Rohr discuss the Dylan Raiola transfer, his two years in Lincoln, and the next steps for Matt Rhule and Nebraska's offense. Evan Bland from the Omaha World-Herald stops by to give his analysis of the Raiola era. Evan also tells the guys what NU can learn from the Las Vegas Bowl and how the Huskers should prioritize certain positions in the transfer portal. Husker Volleyball suffered a crushing 5-set loss in the Elite 8 to Texas A&M, their only loss of the 2025 season. Cole & Nate say how they'll remember this team, and Evan reports on the incredible atmosphere in the Devaney Center. Nebraska men's basketball is ranked #15 after their buzzer-beating road win over Illinois. The team will play a couple cupcakes next before hosting Michigan State on January 2. The guys marvel at how Hoiberg built this roster on development and everyone knowing their role. Husker women are also 11-0 and nationally ranked, and will see USC on December 29. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and GBR!

The stream finally goes live to Matt Rhule's presser and we talked about it.

Matt Rhule said a lot of things last night. Or, did he?

-Dannen spoke on Sports Nightly on Tuesday and mentioned when Matt Rhule said that Nebraska's roster needed $25-30 million to contend, and then he signed his contract extension a few weeks later and those comments were done on money -Dannen said the university has fully pledged its resources to football but the other programs will also benefit from it---and he even said “whether its $25 or $30 million, $22 to $50 million, we can compete” because of reallocations approved by the university president….are we reading this wrong or does it sound like they are taking away any excuses?  Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Matt Rhule has nothing to gain by getting into pettiness with Dylan Raiola.

A full autopsy on the 2025 Nebraska Football season, breaking down exactly where the Huskers succeeded and where the "fatal wound" occurred.

From the impact of Dylan Raiola's injury against USC to the surprising regression of the defensive line, we leave no stone unturned in this Husker season recap.

It was best for both parties.

In this episode of Monday Night Therapy on Corn Nation, Minnie Hunt and Fred Sacco process the emotional fallout from quarterback Dylan Raiola officially entering the transfer portal. What begins as gallows humor quickly turns into a deep, timeline-driven postmortem of Raiola's Nebraska tenure, from his arrival and early promise to his injury, coaching changes, and eventual departure. Minnie lays out the sequence of events—Raiola's stats, the USC injury, the UCLA win with TJ Lateef, the firing of coordinators, and the domino effect that followed—arguing the ending felt inevitable. The discussion wrestles with whether Nebraska mortgaged its future around one player, the failures of the offensive line and scheme, and how NIL and the transfer portal have fundamentally changed roster stability. Fred frames Raiola's exit as “addition by subtraction,” while Minnie defends the quarterback, arguing Nebraska failed to protect or properly support him. Both agree the program placed too much weight on a single solution instead of building sustainable depth. The conversation expands into broader Husker angst: decades of heartbreak, nostalgia for the Osborne era, frustration with constant rebuilds, and questions about Matt Rhule's long-term future. Despite sarcasm and venting, the episode closes with reluctant acceptance, dark humor, and the shared resolve of fans who, battered but loyal, prepare to move on—again.

On this episode of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, former Nebraska assistant coach Bill Busch joins Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka in the studio for a wide-ranging and insightful conversation. A fan-favorite guest, Bill brings his trademark knowledge, perspective, and strong opinions. The discussion opens with Nebraska volleyball and the Huskers' surprising Elite Eight loss to Texas A&M, then quickly shifts to football. The trio dives into Nebraska's upcoming bowl matchup with Utah, a game with personal connections for Coach Busch, who previously worked with the Utes and counts head coach Kyle Whittingham among his closest friends. They also tackle Nebraska's recent coaching changes and evaluate how Matt Rhule's staff is recruiting in the state, offering candid insight into where the program stands and where it's headed.

In Episode 14, the KEF crew digs into the latest Nebraska coaching moves, who's out, who's in, where they came from, and why Matt Rhule is clearly tightening the screws heading into the next phase of the rebuild. We talk accountability, development, and why these moves feel less like panic and more like a program trying to grow up in a chaotic college football landscape.We also zoom out and look at the college football coaching carousel, the transfer portal madness, NIL pressure, and how Nebraska's approach compares to what's happening across the Big Ten and the rest of the country.No hot takes for clicks — just honest Husker talk, strong opinions, and the kind of conversation you'd have over a couple Bloody Marys on a Sunday morning.

Matt Rhule fired an offensive line coach and hired a new one in the span of less than an hour.

We've mentioned that Indiana is listed at the bottom of the B1G in terms of composite rankings of talent on the current team---hilarious for a team that crushes everyone and is 12-0---but it's still something Matt Rhule, Pat Stewart and company need to look at We have pointed out time and time again that Indiana is getting players that are “playing up”---not castoffs or retreads from Power 4 schools---yet our minds are trained here to see any additions not from Power 4 as an ‘eyeroll.'

Most Nebraska fans highly doubt that both Dylan Raiola and TJ Lateef are here next year, but there's a decent chance that at least one of them sticks around…right? If it is Raiola who stays, Rhule says he wants to see him make the jump into the QB we know he can be…can that happen with the current offensive staff and personnel or not?  Show Sponsored by MIDWEST BANKOur Sponsors:* 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
