March has been a whirlwind month for the Nebraska athletic department, marked by significant changes at the helm. The departure of Trev Alberts, who left for a position at Texas A&M, came as a seismic shock to many - from those within the athletic department to the wider community of Nebraska and Husker fans nationwide. His move was swiftly followed by the announcement of Troy Dannen's appointment as the new Athletic Director, arriving from Washington, signaling a new era for Nebraska Athletics. The impact of Alberts's departure cannot be understated; it was a moment that reverberated across the state and amongst the Husker faithful far and wide. Yet, amidst this change, the mission remains unwavering for those at the heart of Husker Athletics: to forge a path of success on the playing fields and ensure financial robustness. By all accounts, Nebraska has managed to strike this balance well, fostering an environment of athletic and financial health. In this context of transformation and continuity, Doug Ewald, Nebraska's Executive Associate Athletic Director and Chief Financial Officer, made his return to the "Doc Talk Podcast," hosted by Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka and sponsored by BetFred Sports. A staunch Husker through and through, Ewald's dedication to the prosperity of the athletic department is palpable. In his first in-depth interview since the recent changes, he shared his initial shock at Alberts's departure and his early impressions of Dannen, noting a promising start to their collaboration. The challenges ahead for college athletics are formidable, with issues such as name, image, and likeness (NIL), pay-for-play, and specific to Nebraska, the Memorial Stadium renovation project, looming on the horizon. Moreover, the evolving dynamics of college football and the playoff system require adept leadership and a cohesive team to navigate these uncertain times. Fortunately, Nebraska is well-positioned to face these challenges, boasting a debt-free status, a dedicated fan base, and a clear vision for success both on and off the field. Ewald, who has been instrumental in the athletic department's turnaround, is eager to continue this positive trajectory alongside Dannen. Their shared commitment to excellence and resilience in the face of change holds promise for the future of Husker Athletics. As Nebraska embarks on this new chapter, the community watches with anticipation, hopeful for what the future holds under this new leadership.

Trev Alberts leaves Nebraska for Texas A&M. It is a move that almost nobody in Nebraska saw coming. On this edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka talk about the move and the implications that led to it and what is next for the Nebraska athletic department. 

Join us for this episode of the Doc Talk Podcast, brought to you by BetFred Sports, as hosts Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka delve into the fascinating journey of Tony Veland. Beginning his career as a quarterback at Nebraska, Veland climbed the depth chart to earn the top spot before an injury sidelined him at the start of the 1993 season. Enter Tommie Frazier, and the rest is history. But Veland's story didn't end there. A natural athlete, he made a pivotal decision to switch to defense, a move that contributed to two consecutive national titles for the Huskers under the guidance of coach Tom Osborne. His talents didn't go unnoticed, leading to being drafted by the Denver Broncos and a subsequent Super Bowl victory. Despite facing adversity, including a gunshot wound in 2011, Veland's passion for football remains undiminished. In our interview, he shares personal anecdotes about his experiences on and off the field. Today, he imparts his knowledge as a coach for the Warren Academy, a youth development league founded by former Husker Steve Warren. From football triumphs to life's challenges, our conversation with Veland covers it all.  Betfred Sports: Fred is your guy when you want to bet. Now, get in on the No Sweat-First bet bonus.

After a month off, Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka are back in the basement for another episode of Doc Talk presented by BetFred Sports. Their guest is former Husker and original Pipeline member Brenden Stai. You can imagine what happens when two former teammates get together for drinks. To be clear, Brenden drinks seltzers, not beer, and explains why he had to make a lifestyle change despite owning a craft brewery. How did a California kid end up in Nebraska? The story is pretty crazy. Here's a hint: a simple poster in a weight room planted a seed of curiosity and a hard sell; some would call it a threat by Tom Osborne, who closed the deal for Stai, who was initially verbally committed to Arizona State.  Despite growing up in a rough California neighborhood and coming from a home where Brenden's mom and dad were divorced, his family was and is a big part of Brenden's journey to Nebraska, the pros, and back to Nebraska, where he is now the Assistant AD for Leadership Giving and Football Relations. You can say Brenden beat the odds in becoming the person he is today: former football player, entrepreneur, executive, and ambassador for the University and the athletic department. He covers it all and leaves us wanting more when the episode ends.  This Podcast would not be possible without the support of the sponsors, so do us a favor and support them in return.  Betfred Sports: Fred is your guy when you want to bet.

It's safe to say the glory years of Nebraska basketball were the Danny Nee Years. The 1993-94 team recently reunited at Pinnacle Bank Arena to celebrate the 1994 Big 8 Conference Tournament Championship. Bruce Chubick was a captain on that team and an All-Tournament team selection. Chubick started 67 games, scored 878 points, and had 618 rebounds for his Husker career.  Chubick is now the Head Coach at Omaha Central. He sits down with Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice on the latest edition of the Doc Talk Podcast presented by BetFred Sports to discuss his time at Nebraska, disappointment with former Coach Tim Miles, and this year's team, which has a shot at returning to the NCAA Basketball Tournament.  This Podcast would not be possible without the support of the sponsors, so do us a favor and support them in return.  Betfred Sports: Fred is your guy when you want to bet.
