What's a Sicko Game? Would Josh like the band at 2x speed? Which sports city would you pick if forced? What food could Rhule offer? Does Nebraska need to bring back the troughs? Is it okay to walk in a street when there's a sidewalk? Nebraska 12 wins or Cowboys 16 wins? Is a pickle a vegetable?

Year three of Matt Rhule leading the Nebraska football program starts Thursday evening. In a neutral site matchup at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, the Huskers open the 2025 season vs. the Cincinnati Bearcats.
Austin, Dak, and Hunter discuss the depth chart released ahead of the Cincinnati game at Arrowhead Stadium. Kendall Post joins the show to discuss tailgating and atmosphere. The guys give their predictions.
This one's all about Thursday night: Nebraska vs Cincinnati. We break down what Raiola and the Huskers offense absolutely have to do to walk out 1–0. We open with why this matchup matters and how it sets the tone for the season. From there, it's a straight shot into Dylan Raiola—what we've seen, what worries us, and what has to click with the receivers and O‑line. We get into Cincinnati's profile and where Nebraska can exploit them, the few spots the Bearcats can make life annoying, and the exact things we want to see from Rhule's game plan. Then we close with score predictions and where the Huskers need to be better in money downs. It's blunt, it's fan-first, and we're not sugarcoating a thing.
Coach Rhule held a presser today!
After a VERY lengthy weekly press conference (that we're not legally allowed to podcast), we react to the things Matt Rhule said at the podium.
Welcome back to The Let It Fly Show! This week, Mike'l Severe sits down with longtime Omaha World-Herald columnist and author Dirk Chatlin (author of 24th in Glory). Dirk walks us through Nebraska's talent pipeline, the conference changes that reshaped the program, coaching hires from Riley to Frost to Rhule, and what it'll take for this team to finally take the next step.
Austin, Dak, and Hunter discuss comparisons to Iowa and Minnesota. Brandel Riekenberg joins us to preview the Farmageddon in Ireland.
Rhule met with media after the scrimmage and said the team had too many penalties (they had a B1G ref crew in to officiate) but not the “silly, pre-snap” penalties---the aggressive ones like defensive holding Rhule also said he wants more from the backups….and while Archie Wilson had a good day punting, it didn't sound that way for kicking in what was otherwise a good scrimmage for the team… Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Austin, Dak, and Hunter break down the Husker offense ahead of the 2025 football season.
Matt Rhule says the magic formula is 40 sacks and 20 takeaways. So can Nebraska actually pull it off in 2025? In this episode, the Junkies dive into what it'll take for Nebraska to reach that all-important “40/20” defensive mark—40 sacks and 20 takeaways. This is the goal Rhule laid out when he first got to Lincoln, and hitting it has historically meant double-digit wins for teams across the country. We break down what it would take to get there: John Butler's attacking style and what it means for the pass rush How Nebraska's defensive depth at JACK, EDGE, and DB could create chaos Why opponents playing from behind may boost our takeaway numbers What chunk games like Akron and HCU will mean for piling up stats Why 40/20 might be the minimum if Nebraska wants to win 11 games You'll also hear our takes on Rhule's tone, the confidence in the defensive line, and what this means for the Big Ten race in 2025. #NebraskaFootball #Huskers #MattRhule #Blackshirts #CollegeFootball #BigTen #GBR #HuskerDefense Learn more about your ad choices.

We ask the question on everyone's mind in Husker-land today. Is Matt Rhule a social media genius? Or is it all a coincidence that guys rehabbing were seen in a video posted by the football team? AND Fred Hoiberg finally reveals his thoughts on the Jurassic Park franchise.
Rhule was complimentary of the team for a good week of practice, and mentioned players like Elijah Pritchett who is still in a battle for starting LT but looked the part; he also said he doesn't view the new LBs as newcomers anymore He said in general that position battles are a bigger thing in Week 2, so watch out for that…what else?

Rhule said he knew when he took over in 2023 it would take a while to fix Nebraska and now it's “close to fixed”…we'll see if that is evident right away or not Rhule mentioned that he wouldn't have brought Dylan Raiola to Media Days if he wasn't proud of his work and the expectations set upon him, and what he Raiola did last year was really difficult..

Gary and Matt predict what Rhule and the media will discuss with the Cornhuskers at Big Ten Media Days
Josh and Austin wonder what will be asked of Coach Rhule at B1G Media Days.
Go ahead and make that absurd prediction. Plus, Gary has an idea that'll change Matt's generation.
Nebraska won 5 games in Rhule's first year, and won 7 games last year with the bowl win (6-6 regular season)…does that mean that 8 wins or more has to be the expectation? And why should that scare anyone, especially with a bowl game to possibly get the 8th win? If you look at the SP+ ratings, Nebraska is favored right now to win 8 of their 12 games (only underdogs to Michigan, Penn State, USC and Iowa) Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
