The Common Fans are launching a summer series that promises to redefine how Nebraska football enthusiasts think about legacy. The project will assemble a rotating panel of analysts, former players and media personalities to debate the most impactful figures in the program’s storied past.
At the heart of the series is a quest to construct a definitive Mount Rushmore for Nebraska football. Organizers say the selection will hinge on a blend of on‑field impact, cultural significance, leadership, championships and defining moments that have shaped the Cornhusker identity over decades.
A Fan‑Driven Deep Dive
Each episode will explore a specific category — quarterbacks, offensive and defensive standouts, special‑team contributors, walk‑ons and coaches — allowing listeners to appreciate the breadth of talent that has worn the scarlet and white. The format encourages spirited debate while honoring the nuanced stories behind each candidate.
The series also features a partnership with Oak Barn Beef, which is sponsoring a giveaway contest that has already drawn heartfelt messages from Husker fans across the country. The collaboration underscores the community‑centric spirit that drives the initiative.
Longtime friend of the program Brandon Vogel will anchor every episode, bringing his deep historical knowledge and personal connections to the discussion. He will be joined by a rotating roster of guests including Mitch Sherman, Henry Cordes, Brian Christopherson, Gary Sharp, Mike Babcock and Mike’l Severe, each bringing a distinct perspective from the Husker media landscape.
With the first episode slated to air next week, anticipation is building among alumni, current players and fans eager to see which names will ultimately earn the coveted spot on Nebraska’s Mount Rushmore. The series promises not only to celebrate past glories but also to inspire future generations of Cornhuskers.
