Make it two wins in a row for Nebraska.

2023 Episode 19: Huskers Win &A Quarterback Controversy

September 18, 2023 00:15 - 1 hour - 88.3 MB

The Huskers get their first win of the season. Great news for Matt Rhule and the team that could have beaten Minnesota and, because of turnovers, let Colorado run them out of Folsom Field. But there was a development after the win. Nebraska did it with a new quarterback. Because of a Jeff Sims injury, Kearney native Heinrich Haarberg started under center. Haarberg led the team in rushing with 98 yards on 21 carries. His passing numbers are also not bad, 14-24 for 158 yards and two touchdown...

September 11, 2023 01:26 - 1 hour - 96.8 MB

The 2023 Nebraska football season is like a broken record. So far, a new Head Coach and coaching staff are producing similar results to those who came before them.  It's not about the losses; it's how the Huskers lose. Turnovers, penalties, and mental mistakes are issues that seem easy to correct but have plagued the program for years.  On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast, former Husker Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss the most recent setback, a 36-14 loss at Colorado.  The...

July 09, 2023 21:31 - 1 hour - 115 MB

The concept of NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) has now reached its third year of existence. Money is flowing, creating an uneven playing field in college athletics.

Meanwhile, the NCAA is attempting to assert its authority by emphasizing that their rules supersede state laws for member schools. Additionally,...

2023 Episode 8: Aaron Graham

April 16, 2023 20:15 - 2 hours - 171 MB

Every college football program has its share of stars living off name recognition for generations. Rarely is there a position group that carries the same clout with fans.  At Nebraska, you have three Heisman Trophy Winners and several Outland and Lombardi Trophy winners. Of course, all those winners continue to sign autographs and take photos with fans. But "The Pipeline" seems to evoke the emotions of greatness, dominance, athleticism, nastiness, and championships with Husker fans. Why? Pr...

2023 Episode 5: Spring Preview with Mitch Sherman from The Athletic

March 15, 2023 19:10 - 1 hour - 115 MB

Spring practice for the Huskers starts on Monday, March 20. In the past Spring seasons, fans were focused on the quarterback battle or who the top running back will be. Instead, everyone will be dialed in on new Head Coach Matt Rhule and his staff this year.  The expectations at Nebraska have never changed. However, it's no secret that the results have not matched the expectations, and that's why the Huskers are starting over with their sixth new Head Coach since 1998.  On this edition of ...

January 29, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 89.8 MB

College athletics is a BIG business. So here's some news that will shock no one; it will keep getting bigger.  When Trev Alberts took the job at Nebraska to be the Athletic Director, he wanted to surround himself with people he trusted. So one of the first people he turned to was Doug Ewald. The fancy title Ewald has is Executive Associate Athletic Director-Chief Financial Officer. In layman's terms, he's the bean counter for a budget of well over $ 100 million. On this edition of the Doc ...

2022 Episode 37: Have The Huskers Improved At All?

November 20, 2022 20:24 - 1 hour - 99.8 MB

2022 Episode 36: Stop Worshiping The Golden Calf!

November 14, 2022 01:17 - 1 hour - 155 MB

The Golden Calf is a false idol. But, unfortunately, it's tempting to worship it when there seems to be no hope or, in this case, no answers.  The Golden Calf I am referring to is every internet rumor that claims to know who the next Nebraska Football Coach will be. Last week it was Deion Sanders. The week before that, Matt Ruhle. The people that are starting these rumors have one motivation, clicks. That's right, clicks. They feed off your emotions of wanting something so badly that you wi...

November 06, 2022 20:43 - 1 hour - 95.1 MB

The rumors were flying last week leading up to the Minnesota game. Trev Alberts had found his coach, and an announcement was imminent.

October 31, 2022 02:49 - 1 hour - 98.5 MB

October 21, 2022 00:15 - 1 hour - 113 MB

Dr. Rob just returned from visiting his oldest daughter, who attends Florida State school. He attended the Clemson vs. Florida State game. Randomly in this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports, the topic of traditions came up. There are many traditions we know about in schools in the South. This begs the question, does Nebraska have any traditions?  That's not an easy question to answer. Is it the releasing of balloons after the first touchdown? Is it the pipeline? Is...
