Husker247 Podcast: Talking through the 2023 Super Six

The Husker247 podcast returned on Friday and didn’t make a single Super Bowl reference or a prediction. That’s because the group was too busy chatting about a recent press conference with tight ends coach Bob Wager and wide receivers coach Garret McGuire, as well as working through the Super Six.Here’s what happened on the latest podcast:Things start with thoughts from Michael Bruntz and Brian Christopherson on Bob Wager and his position room. From there Mike Schaefer forces Christopherson to make a prediction about the position group and he learns more about the addition of former LSU and Georgia tight end Arik Gilbert.Following that conversation the group focuses on McGuire and how the young assistant handled his first real media appearance. Discussion turned to how McGuire fits with the staff, why he could be a big asset and why there are not real concerns about his ability to coach similarly aged receivers. After a short break the conversation turns to the Super Six and all three run through their ballots before discussing some of the surprises in the results. Then its sleeper time and each walks through some other names they considered.Christopherson sends it home with a discussion about Nebraska’s upcoming game against Wisconsin, Bruntz invents a new Mount Rushmore and Schaefer fondly recalls when the Bob Devaney Sports Center would welcome Colorado’s Richard Roby onto the court.
