The Common Fans are joined by longtime friend Nic Olsen, a fellow Common Fan and U.S. Army veteran.

Nic talks about his journey from enlistment through basic training, and shares his experiences through six years in the Army:

-Going through basic training.
-Deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan.
-Differences between serving in Iraq vs. Afghanistan.
-Watching classic Husker games while deployed.
-What Veterans Day means to him.

The Common Fans also discuss a thought provoking email from a loyal listener, asking if things are any better at this point under Rhule as compared to the Frost tenure at the same point:

-Slow start in year one with reasons for optimism in year two surrounding a new quarterback.
-Moral victories around games with Ohio State.
-Losses that should have been wins (but no wins that should have been losses.)
-Talented skill position players in the slot (Wandale / Barney Jr)
-A side of the ball that gave us flashes of confidence (the offense with Frost and the defense with Rhule).
-A highly sought after coach who hired a bunch of his friends to make up his staff.
-Below average special teams.
-The boys agree the offense is the main problem, and hone in on the offensive line in particular.
-One thing can alter the trajectory of the program for the better: get at least one more win and get to a bowl game in Year 2.
