The Omaha World Herald's Tom Shatel joins the Common Fans to help kick off the 2024 Nebraska football season. The crew celebrates the coming season by diving into a wide range of topics, including:

• A tribute to Nebraska football fans.
• The hope that Dylan Raiola brings, both for 2024 and beyond.
• What’s more important to the success of the 2024 Nebraska football team: that Dylan Raiola is who we think he is, or that the defense is what we think they are?
• Tom's recent column that served as an ode to college football, and an endorsement of the new playoff system: "The College Football Playoff means more football. And it will revive New Year's Day traditions and passions in us old spirits and give a new generation a reason to fall in love with the game."
• Tom predicts the Huskers will make a bowl game in 2024.
