Well, due to some technical difficulties not associated with bourbon this time, this show has been a few weeks in the making. But here it is: the totally wonderful mess that is Episode 6! Pay no attention to the audio quality of Ken’s microphone. In spite of what he might say in the pre-show disclaimer, there is nothing weird or goofy to hear here...at all.

We open the show with the festivities surrounding Scott's first wedding anniversary, improving the internet connectivity in Petey (my '02 Peterbilt), discuss the hiring of Trev Alberts, and then dissected the OU-Texas move to the SEC.

Our main topic features another Top 5 list; namely our favorite five players we've watched. 5 on offense, and 5 on defense.

We finish the show with our Fun Fact Segment, where we talk about our favorite football movies. So kick back, pardon the audio issues, and enjoy our second-to-last episode before the 2021 season kicks off on August 28th!

Honorable Mention:
Scott Frost, QB

Scott
5 - Taylor Martinez
https://youtu.be/dT7mbeeLkPQ

- his 76 yard run against Wisconsin in the 2012 B1G champ game was amazing
- His throwing mechanics were odd, but he was still accurate considering it.
- It’s a shame he got turf toe and slowed his game down.

4 - Rex Burkhead
https://youtu.be/iO2eHO4Xufs

- He would always fall forward.
- He was one of the most dependable first down getters of my generation. It didn’t matter how many yards were needed, he almost always found a way to make it happen.
- The juke he made for the tying touchdown against OSU is still my most memorable moment

3 - Jordan Westerkamp “The Magician”
https://youtu.be/MC-ZFgpkM9A

- he was unbelievably dependable
- Behind the back catch will always be an all time favorite Husker moment
- When we lost the devastating BYU Hail Mary game, their was a TD in the first quarter that westerkamp blew my mind with
- Of course the Wester-catch

2 - Stanley Morgan Jr
https://youtu.be/hAOYe-6btVo

- Most recent player that provided so much. I just wish he was here longer
- He was just so fun to watch.

1 - Ameer Abdullah
https://youtu.be/VJzKofztWVU

- He and Burkhead were such a blessing that I very much under appreciated.
- His winning run against McNeese state was ricockulous
- His cuts were unstoppable
- So incredibly quick

Nate Swift
Roy Helu Jr

Also, Alex Henery and Sam Foltz
