Nebraska goes to 20-0. Say it out loud. Jack and Kaleb do that frequently during the show, and they also explained how they both felt very different after a rough first half than they did after Indiana, and why they are coming around to the level of confidence they probably should have in this team. Plus, a deeper look into Pryce's continued unconscious, shooting, but also, his surprisingly dominant day on defense. All that said, the guys discuss whether he was even the MVP of this game, with there being at least three other good options. After a deeper look at the box score and identify the one stat that most encapsulates the complete turnaround of this program, Jack and Kaleb assess the chances of pulling off the biggest win of the season, likely without Frager. And finally, they calibrate their expectations for this huge four game run, including games at Michigan. And with Illinois and Purdue at home, and how many wins would constitute a success, or, keep them treading water from their current spot. And, at long last, Jack lets go of at least a little bit of fatalism with his final update on the NCAA tournament, confidence meter and his seed prediction.

-Minnesota's record is not impressive…10-9 overall and 3-5 in B1G play…but they do play well at home.

Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka welcome back one of the most iconic names in Nebraska football history—Dave Rimington—for his first appearance on the show since 2018. And it doesn't take long to remember why a conversation with Rimington always turns into a mix of laughs, perspective, and some real talk about the state of college athletics. The guys kick things off on a bitter-cold January night—while the national championship game is literally starting in the background—then go straight into the origin story of Husker Doc Talk and Rimington's role in helping get the podcast off the ground in the first place. From there, it's classic Rimington: quick wit, candid honesty, and a few “only Dave” stories (including a deep dive into AI prompts, Facebook ads, and whether that Tai Chi chair guy is even real). But the heart of the episode is a thoughtful, wide-ranging discussion on what college football has become in the NIL + transfer portal era. Rimington and Zatechka unpack what “commitment” even means anymore—for players and coaches—why the portal timing feels broken, and how the sport is drifting toward a professional model without the guardrails the NFL actually has. The conversation also hits on local recruiting, development vs. “buying” older talent, and why the current system feels unsustainable for programs trying to build the old-fashioned way. There's also plenty of Nebraska and Omaha pride: Rimington is back in town for the Rimington Trophy Presentation at the Rococo Theatre, honoring this year's winner, Logan Jones (Iowa), and the episode highlights how the event has grown into a first-class weekend while raising millions for cystic fibrosis research over the years. Rimington shares what it's like to still have his name attached to a major national award—and why maintaining the quality of the event still matters to him. Add in some NFL war stories, a little Memorial Stadium beer talk, a wrestling sidebar (because of course), and a heartfelt remembrance of Jim Hartung, and you've got an episode that feels like catching up with an old friend—who just happens to be a legend.
