Podcasts about huskers

Welcome to Husker Doc Talk Podcast — 2026, Episode 1, and the first show of the new year kicks off the only way this crew knows how: a little chaos, a lot of laughs, and a deep dive into Husker football—plus some side quests that only happen when you put Travis Justice, Dr. Rob Zatechka, and a former Blackshirt in the same room. This episode is “about 20 years in the making,” as Travis and Rob finally welcome former Nebraska standout Zach Potter to the show.  Potter's visit turns into a fascinating walk through his career arc—from highly recruited Creighton Prep athlete, to Nebraska defender, to a four-year NFL run with the Jacksonville Jaguars after a whirlwind, last-second position switch that had him signing a contract, hopping a flight, and suddenly playing tight end in the Florida humidity. Zach shares what it's really like living practice-squad life, grinding all day at the facility, trying to survive roster math, and navigating the less-glamorous realities fans rarely hear about—like taxes in multiple states, paying for your own tickets, and living out of an extended-stay hotel because you're not sure if you'll even be employed next week. Of course, the show also revisits one of the all-time debates: should Zach have played offensive line? Rob breaks down why he saw “natural tackle” traits in Potter years ago, while Zach explains why he chose the Blackshirt path—and why he has zero regrets. The conversation also gets real about the Callahan-to-Pelini transition, what it feels like when staffs change, why “losing a locker room” often comes down to one guy freelancing, and how quickly you have to re-prove yourself when a new coach walks in. And because it's Husker Doc Talk, the episode doesn't stop there: NIL and the transfer portal, the value vs.-money debate, Nebraska's portal approach, and even a quick tour through the “upside down world” where Nebraska is rolling in basketball while Indiana is suddenly a football power.

Minnie and Fred kick off “Monday Night Therapy” in full sad Husker mode, only to watch Nebraska's latest QB commit (Minchey… or “what's-his-name”) flip to Kentucky before he even sees Lincoln. The chat spirals into the same old rage: transfer portal chaos, NIL bidding wars, “do not contact” tags that mean nothing, and the exhausting feeling of caring way more than the players do. Greg jumps in like an angry old man yelling at clouds—commit, stay, earn it—while everyone wonders if Nebraska is becoming a development black hole where talent shows up, stagnates, or bolts. They drift into gallows humor: rating thighs and badonks, joking about being a basketball school, and comparing NIL to throwing cash on roulette. The bowl game gets rehashed too—fast start, total collapse, the familiar moment you know it's over. Meanwhile, people admit watching has become a chore, and that's the scariest part: OG fans tapping out. By the end, they're still wearing Nebraska gear, still together, still coping with mockery—because when your favorite band disappears for 20 years and your football team does too, sarcasm is basically survival.

Sam comments on the latest Husker to enter the portal, the battle at QB ahead for Nebraska, who might be moving on and who might coming to Lincoln in the near future, plus Sam's take on 'One Battle After Another'.

On this final Overreaction episode of the 2025 season, Greg, Hoss, and Jake will talk about the Las Vegas Bowl. What transpired that led to a 44-22 Nebraska loss at the hands of the Utah Utes? How did the transfer portal, injuries, and assistant coach firings affect the team? And why did one Las Vegas Bowl official allegedly claim, "Nebraska's lack of athleticism was astounding?" Nebraska still doesn't have a defensive line coach, the transfer portal is open. Players are out. Players are in. And we're facing a very long off-season after losing out last three in poor fashion and four of the last five. Can we find optimism heading into the break? Will the Huskers ever return to form?

-And if that's the case, how should it be greeted by fans? There is extreme frustration right now at the slow growth (or lack thereof) of the program under Matt Rhule, and the latest beatdown by Utah further enhanced that-How soon will we know of players transferring into Nebraska? For this 2 week transfer window, will it be news early on or will we see a flurry of movement and commitments all the way to the final day?Our Sponsors:* Check out Aura.com: https://aura.com/remove* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Minnie Hunt opens “Monday Night Therapy” with Fred Sacco and Fred's dog Willie as the crew gears up for Nebraska's final game of 2025, the Las Vegas Bowl against Utah. The mood is a mix of relief and cautious optimism: as fans, they feel the team is “limping across the finish line,” but they also see the bowl as the start of next season—extra practices, player evaluations, and a chance for new coaches to get real film on players. They discuss why Nebraska might have an edge: Utah's opt-outs and injuries (especially in the trenches) could matter, and Nebraska's own absences feel less damaging. They're excited to finally see backup running backs, a faster tempo, and the “X-factor” of a simplified approach under new staff influence. They also recap bowl-week events in Vegas and laugh about Matt Rhule's hat-backwards “gimmick” and social-media images. The conversation veers into Michigan hiring Kyle Whittingham and fanbase “self-soothing,” before returning to Nebraska's mindset: as underdogs with nothing to lose, the Huskers should play freer. They close by reading fan score predictions, joking around with Greg, and setting expectations simply: just look decent—and enjoy the trip.

The Husker Doc Talk Podcast wraps up the year with a festive, wide-ranging post-Christmas episode that blends holiday humor, sponsor shoutouts, and deep college football analysis—exactly what Husker fans have come to expect from Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka. The episode starts off lighthearted, and then the conversation turns serious with an in-depth breakdown of one of the biggest coaching stories of the season: Kyle Whittingham's stunning move from Utah to Michigan. Travis and Dr. Rob examine the timing of the decision, the rumored friction with Utah's administration, and what it means for Utah's bowl preparation. They also debate whether Whittingham's departure removes emotional fuel—or creates new motivation—for the Utes as they prepare to face Nebraska. The discussion naturally pivots to Nebraska football and the upcoming bowl game in Las Vegas. With key players opting out and a new coaching staff still settling in, expectations are tempered. Dr. Rob explains why this bowl game should be viewed through a developmental lens rather than a win-or-else moment, outlining Nebraska's current roster gaps, particularly along the offensive and defensive lines. The two also explore how the transfer portal and NIL have reshaped roster construction—and why player evaluation and development matter more than ever. Quarterback play, portal strategy, and long-term program building dominate the second half of the episode, including a thoughtful debate about Nebraska's future at QB and whether stability might be more valuable than chasing a one-year rental. The episode closes with a broader look at college football's shifting power structure, comparing development-first programs like Iowa with big-money NIL schools, and questioning whether the Big 12 can truly keep pace with the Big Ten and SEC. It's a candid, thoughtful, and entertaining year-end conversation—equal parts football breakdown, industry insight, and holiday camaraderie—making Episode 23 a perfect way to close out 2025 on the Husker Doc Talk Podcast.

On this episode of the Five Heart Podcast, the hosts will take a long look at the upcoming Las Vegas Bowl match-up with the Utah Utes. It was announced on Friday that Utah's coach Kyle Whittingham was in the works to be the new head coach at the University of Michigan. Would Whittingham coach Utah in the bowl game? After that word was made public, allegedly several Utah players began opting out of the bowl game. They were going to play for the man who was going to step down from coaching. But if he's being poached to coach at a Big Ten school, maybe their fealty isn't required. Also, on Christmas, Nebraska received the commitment Christmas Wishes from Ahmad Hudson, a five-star and the number-one tight end in the country for the Class of 2027. So while there' still some of the 2025 season yet to play out, we can always look to the future. In fact, have you noticed that we as Husker fans tend to look at the past (though not as much as we are accused of doing) and to the future, but we don't always appreciate where we're at right now? We're staring at back-to-back bowl games after an eight year drought. There's a lot to be thankful for from a fan perspective. We are not where we once were, but we're definitely not at our lowest point, and we are heading in the right direction. Like Sawyer Brown sang: Well I hear something calling me Like I've never heard before. It's a red and white freight train And I want to get on board. GBR

It's a Christmas edition of the Husker Doc Talk Podcast, and Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka are in full post season form—mixing college football playoff takes, Husker reality checks, and the kind of off-the-rails holiday banter that feels like hanging out with your buddies in the basement… if your buddies also happened to break down offensive line technique and playoff selection politics. Episode 22 opens with the guys reacting to the first round of the College Football Playoff—what they watched, what surprised them, and what didn't. From the “coulda/shoulda” playoff arguments (and the clickbait that fuels them) to the teams that looked legit, Travis and Rob debate what the games actually told us. They talk Alabama's situation under Kalen DeBoer, the pressure of rebuilding in the NIL/portal era, and why judging coaches the same way we used to just doesn't work anymore. Then the conversation shifts into one of the most hot-button topics in the sport: playoff expansion. Is 12 enough? (Rob says no.) Should it be 16? 24? Travis says bring it on—especially if it means more on-campus playoff games, which both guys agree are the best thing to happen to the sport in a long time. They dig into the ripple effects of automatic qualifiers, the shifting criteria coming next year, and what it means for group-of-five teams going forward. From there, it's back to Lincoln. Travis asks the question Husker fans have been asking: Does Matt Rhule look different? More stressed? More “fishbowl-aware”? Rob reads the body language, talks staff changes, and explains why this moment feels less like a rebuild and more like a reset—new voices, new systems, and possibly a new quarterback era after Dylan Raiola's departure. The guys also get real about what Nebraska should do next: chase a portal QB… or build around TJ Lateef and invest where it matters most—up front. Along the way, you'll get sponsor shout-outs, a peppermint chocolate stout “breakfast beer,” stories from Rob's debutante weekend, and a quick holiday wrap-up with what's next for the podcast—more playoff talk, portal moves, and interviews lined up for the new year. Merry Christmas, Husker fans. Episode 22 is equal parts football, fun, and future-looking—exactly how the holiday edition should be.
