2022 Episode 5: Why Does Dr. Rob Hate Lil’ Red?

1 hour 19 minutes

If you don’t follow Dr. Rob on Twitter, you should. He fires off a lot of one-liners daily and isn’t afraid to go against popular belief now and then. But, being a doctor, he usually backs up his 280 character wisdom with sound logic.

The mascots at the University of Nebraska are ordinary balloons that Dr. Rob throws darts at. He wants Herbie to have blond hair again, and he wants Lil’ Red just to pop and go away. On this edition of the Doc Talk podcast, Travis Justice gets into a deeper conversation with Dr. Rob about his dislike for the current state of the Husker mascots. Yes, they even discuss the most recent controversy of changing the Herbie logo from holding an okay sign up with his cartoon-drawn hands to him posing, saying Nebraska is #1! But it’s this last one that has portions of the fan base fired up!

David Max, the publisher of Husker Max, stops by the podcast to talk about one of his latest business ventures, Fanalytix. For years David and his team have been providing fans with great content. However, what fans want has changed over the years, and Fanalytix is a game-changer for visual content. We live in a day and age of big data. If you drill deep enough into the numbers, you can find many pressing answers to why a team wins and why it loses. Fanalytix data is available for all Nebraska games, the Power Five teams, and the NFL. They say a picture says 1000 words. Well, a Fanalytix graphic shows you what four quarters of a game look like with the ability to dive in even deeper.

The Super Bowl is coming up on Sunday, and former Nebraska quarterback Zac Taylor is the Head Coach of the Cincinnati Bengals. Husker fans are showing their support for Taylor, who miraculously has made people look more fondly on the Bill Callahan era, even if it is for a week or two.
