Welcome back to the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, now presented by Strategic Solutions. A sure sign that the season is right around the corner, Big 10 Media Days take place this week. Six teams on the stage on Tuesday, six teams on Wednesday, and six more, including Nebraska, on Thursday. Travis Justice and Former Nebraska All-American Dr. Rob Zatechka don't expect to learn a lot from the made-for-TV/Internet event. But they are interested in hearing what Big Ten Commissioner Tony Pettiti has to say about the "Save College Sports Act," which is not expected to pass before the November elections. Pettiti isn't expected to be as straightforward as his SEC counterpart Greg Sankey, but it's no secret the Big 10 is opposed to the "Save College Sports Act" in its current form. Matt Rhule will take the stage on Thursday; the ESPN Power Index has Nebraska finishing 7-5 on the season. If the Huskers do finish with this record, does it put Matt Rhule on the hot seat? As we get closer to the season starting, Travis and Rob talk about fan apathy setting in for the Huskers. Is it really happening? This has been the least talked-about off-season they can remember for years. Subscribe to the channel, leave a comment, and send us an email if you have a question: doctalksports@gmail.com.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comContent note: This episode includes an extended discussion of the September 11 attacks and their connection to college football.For Relaunch Week, Alex and Richard revisit the 2001 college football season, a year flattened in memory into the dominance of an all-time Miami team but very, very strange below the surface. September 11 halted the sport and jumbled its schedule; a chaotic December put Nebraska in the national championship game after Colorado had beaten the Huskers by 26; Florida and Tennessee settled the SEC East in December; Oregon got left out; and a landmark coaching class signaled that the sport's next era had already begun. This subscriber episode tells the story of the season in about 100 minutes, including archival audio of Lee Corso condemning the SEC's initial plan to play four days after the attacks. In this episode:- 0:17: How Miami's dominance hides a lot of weirdness in the history books- 15:04: September 11's effect on the season, including …- 33:59: How the BCS race became unlike any other - 56:37: An absurdly good crop of new head coaches that reshaped the sport - 1:02:21: Rex Grossman vs. Eric Crouch- 1:15:24: The many eras that were butting against each other here
