Guys, things are getting chippy in Cobcast land. We're tired of no football. We're tired of each other's coffee breath. It's time for April to get here. But that doesn't mean there isn't plenty to talk about this week. And talk about it we do! On this list of this week's topics are CTE (and the possible salvation of football),…
I honestly can't tell what the prevailing sentiment is. Are Nebraska fans howling for UCF to be co-national champions because anything tied to Scott Frost feels like it partially belongs to the Huskers? Or are they up in arms because they understand fairness and recognize when it's not being employed properly? Maybe I can't tell because it's a little bit…
Decades from now, when sports historians sort through the early 21st century, they will view the end of 2017 and the 2018 football season as the turning point that ultimately pulled Nebraska football back from the brink. Two important hirings started healing the Huskers from The Slide — a low-grade fever that turned virulent, threatening to send the program…

The first year of the Scott Frost Era at Nebraska will be challenging, no doubt, with games at Wisconsin and at Ohio State, but the schedule might not be as daunting as some might think. I understand there is much we don't know about next year's Husker football team, but I'm going to go out on a limb and make…

Nebraska Head Coach Scott Frost has announced the hiring of seven assistant coaches on his Husker football staff. A 2017 national coach of the year candidate, Frost was hired as Nebraska’s head coach this weekend. The seven new Nebraska assistant coaches all come to Lincoln after spending the past two seasons on Frost’s UCF staff. The group has been…
One dark December day, 60-year-old Tom Osborne called a press conference that nobody saw coming. It set into motion a chain of events that reduced Nebraska football to mediocrity. Almost 20 years later, another press conference that almost the entire state of Nebraska eagerly anticipated sent chills up the spines of most who attended, and signaled a reversal of…

There’s too much political discord in the nation. I’m speaking of Husker Nation, of course, where pro- and anti-Pelini and pro- and anti-Riley factions have been at each other’s throats for a decade. The discord is largely the result of poor decisions made at a high level, resulting in a proud football program underperforming since 2001. This binary, two-party bickering…
Ignorance and apathy are a toxic combination for any organization, and NU football is no exception. Either quality can be the death knell for a enterprise, but when they come as a package deal, there’s no way the thing can survive, especially when it affects the very heart of the institution. In the case of Nebraska football, the heart is…
We are only a few days away from the end of the Mike Riley era at Nebraska. I think the majority of fans liked Riley. He embraced the history, expectations and traditions of this program in a way Bill Callahan and Bo Pelini never did. He was genuinely grateful for the opportunity to coach at Nebraska. He was open…
What if Mike Riley were to stay at Nebraska? Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss it in this week's Husker Doc Talk. Listen to the entire podcast here. CLICK FOR FULL PODCAST
First of all, yesterday's Penn State-Nebraska game wasn't as close as the score might indicate. Years from now, people looking at that score may think Nebraska just fell short in a see-saw battle at Penn State. Sorry, but no cigar. With the exception of a brief first quarter 10-7 Husker lead, Nebraska was out classed, out hustled, out performed and…
The 2017 version of the Cornhuskers, Mike Riley’s third and final go-round in Lincoln, will be remembered for its utter inability to run the ball and stop the run. Teams like that generally end up with sub-.500 records, something which Riley and the 4-7 Huskers are now guaranteed for the second time in three years. Penn State’s 56-44 win over…
There are only three certainties in this world: Death, Taxes and Mike Riley is going to be fired shortly after Nebraska's Black Friday game against Iowa. The Huskers are now 4-7 after their most recent trip behind the woodshed. The latest haymaker to the chin of Riley's tenure came today at the hands of Penn State, who embarrassed the Huskers…
Dr. Rob Zatechka and Travis Justice discuss the pros and cons of the Nebraska job. Everyone wants Scott Frost, and it would be foolish to think the former Nebraska quarterback isn't at least a little stimulated by the thought of coming home to lead his alma mater. But this might be tough for Husker fans to hear: Nebraska is NOT…
I spent the first 14 years of my life living in a house in a blue collar neighborhood in north Omaha. And many years later after Mrs. Husker Dan and I started our own family, the City of Omaha let it be known that my little house was soon going to be razed and if any of us wanted to…
