In this story:

The Common Fans announce “View From the Blandstands,” a weekly show that will be airing mid-week, every week of the college football season. Evan Bland of the Omaha World Herald will be joining the Common Fans to dissect each game, look ahead to the next game, and talk all the latest Husker football news.

This week, the crew dives head first into Colorado week:

  • Evan’s takeaways from the win over UTEP.
  • Here comes Colorado.
  • Rhule and Coach Prime keep it respectful and avoid providing bulletin board material (at least yet).
  • The contrast in the two programs - Nebraska’s foundation built on rock vs. Colorado’s foundation built on sand.
  • How important is this game to Nebraska’s season?
  • Is this game disproportionately important to the Husker fan base?
  • What Nebraska needs to do to win (hint: win the line of scrimmage and avoid turnovers).
  • Don’t forget to stay hydrated, Common Fans.

This and so much more on the latest episode of the Common Fan Podcast.
