Big Red Junkies - Nebraska Football Podcast

The 2024 Nebraska Football Offseason kicked off with a bang, in the recruiting department. We Landed Dylan Raiola, and several other huge targets. BUT, there were holes at key positions we still needed to address for the upcoming season. Matt Rhule and Co. have gone into the portal and swiped THE RIGHT GUY in THE RIGHT POSITION for every one of those holes. The only question left is, do we add any...

Did Nebraska really win the National Championship in 1997? Did Michigan really win the National Championship in 1997? What if there was a playoff that year? How much better is college football now, compared to 1997? We'll never really know who deserved to be the champ more, but it sure is fun to talk about. We dive into that and more, as Vegas joins the show.  @Huskers   @TheWolverineVideo  #gbr #...

Good, bad and at times UGLY, Nebraska Football completed the 2023 with a measly 5-7 record. The Huskers met the lower end of most expectations, and exceeded a few on the Defensive side of the ball. We're not unhappy, but we're not happy... life in 2024 better be better. - Be sure to find us on social for all kinds of content: Facebook: facebook.com/bigredjunkies Twitter(X): @bigredjunkies Learn mo...

Wisconsin Beats Nebraska: Man, losing sucks… but the sky’s not falling. What a rollercoaster of a game between the Cornhuskers and the Badgers, and even with the disappointment of our 6th loss, we have some praises for our boys today. NO TURNOVERS (the overtime prayer doesn’t count) and some legitimate QB play from a banged up Chubba Purdy took this one to overtime. We didn’t agree on everything w...

Its Nebraska vs Maryland this week, and we’re looking to TERRAP’IN DAT ASS. It's the second week in a row with bowl eligibility on the line, and the guys have some mixed opinions on how we think the game will go.  Are the blackshirts ready for a pass heavy Maryland offense led by future NFL prospect and the best B1G QB, Taulia Tagovailoa? Will we see Heinrich Haarberg return to the running game, o...

The Huskers stumbled against Michigan St. There was some good, but not nearly enough to overcome the bad. Today, the guys of BRJ are reviewing what went down on the field, as well as some overall thoughts on the current program’s progress. #Huskers #Cornhuskers #NebraskaFootball #GBR #MattRhule #Blackshirts #B1G 00:00 - Intro 00:35 - Michigan St Recap 31:35 - Bet Results - Be sure to find us on so...

For the first time in 2,562 days… Matt Rhule breaks the curse and WE’RE STREAKIN!! Nebraska’s defense absolutely dominated once again and the Cornhuskers notched win #5 this week. The guys are still trying to figure out how to be comfortable with the current success, but the mid game sweats are getting better. Also, are we seeing a passer in the making out of Haarburg? Lots of good to go through t...

Join us this week as Nebraska strives for a 3-game winning streak, a bowl game, and maybe even a division title. “Huskers vs Boilermakers” or “Nebraska vs Purdue” preview and predictions show, because ‘boilermaker’ is a bit burdensome on the tongue.. You decide. We’re laying pipe with this new segment, ‘Pipe or No Pipe’. Can the restructured offensive line bring a new dynamic to the offense? Will...

The guys recap the Blackshirts domination of Northwestern and the Huskers continued struggles on offense. Is Haarberg the long term guy and do we have the 2024 starting QB on the current roster? It’s not all negative and the defense was more than a bright spot vs Northwestern. Hutmacher and the young guns like Princewill and Lenhardt stepped up to secure the second consecutive win and brought the...

After what felt like a 6 month bye week, WE’RE BACK. Northwestern is coming into Lincoln this week and BRJ has some thoughts on how the game is going down. The defense is going to be a force to be reckoned with , but will we finally start to see some new swagger from our freshly appointed starter at QB? But before we can break down this week's game, the guys make some mid season predictions for th...
