Michael Bruntz makes a triumphant return to Husker247 and he hits the ground running with plenty of Big Ten Media Days talk and even throws a few thoughts on Nebraska’s overtime history since he missed the podcast.
First though Bruntz and Mike Schaefer discuss what to expect from Nebraska this week as Matt Rhule will make his conference debut of sorts in Indianapolis. Will Rhule lay out a lot of news for the hungry media members in attendance or do we anticipate this will be more big picture about his vision for the program and the conference?
Then the two discuss how Nebraska’s player representatives will be received. Bruntz is looking forward to chatting more with Jeff Sims, who had a brief media availability this spring, but has otherwise been largely quiet. Schaefer wants to know what Ethan Piper has to say about things and both wonder if he isn’t currently stealing someone’s job. Then there’s Luke Reimer — what stands out to the veteran about Nebraska’s new look defense and who exactly will be playing with him on the second level?
Then after a short break in the action the two return to talk recruiting, Nebraska’s successful additions in July and the big cook out scheduled for this weekend. 
Nebraska will have a number of targets on campus as well as a lot of 2024 commitments, helping them feel a sense of ownership with the program.
Finally Bruntz gives thoughts on overtime games and the two say their goodbyes.
