After football at Nebraska was over, Willie dealt with nagging injuries that led him down the long, dark road of addiction to pain medication, alcohol, and even a period of homelessness and hopelessness.  Then some folks stepped into his life and offered hope. Hope in the form repairing his long-term football injuries, and the opportunity to be free from his addictions, through faith and 12-step recovery principles.  That conversation sparked an even deeper dive into the recovery journeys of both Scott and myself. Willie's story is a part of mine, and a big reason for why our podcast is what it is: a conversation. We love Husker football, but our hope is that this show will not be afraid to go deeper than just our fandom. We want it to be about relationships. With each other, with guests, and with other podcasts.  At the very end, Willie was gracious enough to be the first person to participate in a new GenRed Tradition: Signing the Sign. For our audio podcast listeners, you'll have to go to our YouTube channel to see what that means.  We hope you enjoyed the show, and would love for you to contact us with questions, comments, or suggestions.

You will hear Scott brilliantly lead the conversation over the next hour and twenty two minutes, as Riley was very candid on many topics, from cutting hair for a living to his recruitment to Nebraska and playing for Coach Osborne. Then we spend a good portion of our time, discussing NIL and the Transfer Portal, and how hard that makes it to be a coach in college football. Of course, I finally got the chance to ask him about those two title games in 1994 and 1995, and his responses were enjoyable to say the least.    Follow Riley @unkthabarber on all the social media platforms, and go to Hensley's Barber Shop for a great haircut and an even better conversation. Our hope is to have Riley come back to the table this season to help us break down a game or two.    We hope you enjoyed the show, and would love for you to contact us with questions, comments, or suggestions.

On this episode of Generation Red: A Husker Podcast, we look back at the recent recruiting news, and then make our way-too-early win/loss predictions for the 2023 season...but with a twist. We pick the games based on drinking the Kool(Rhule)-Aid, and also pick them in the context of the last 6 seasons. Then we wrap the show up with the triumphant return of the Fun Facts segment. This is our first episode produced for the Hurrdat Sports Network, under the umbrella of Hurrdat Media, and we couldn't be more grateful for being a part of such a stellar lineup of sports talk radio and podcasts.

On this episode of Generation Red: A Husker Podcast, Scott and I open the show with a TEASER regarding the HUGE announcement coming at the end of the show, that shares some killer news about the future of our podcast. We also announce the three awards our show has been nominated for in the upcoming Nebraska Podcast Awards this August.

Then we get down to the most pressing business at hand: the departures of Casey Thompson, Logan Smothers and Richard Torres into the Transfer Portal. Will there be issues with depth at the quarterback position this season? We know Rhule and Company will run the QB a bit more than we saw from a Whipple-coordinated attack, so will 3 scholarship QB's be enough to outlast a rough and tumble Big 10, and lead Nebraska to that elusive bowl game? We also answer a few other questions:

1) Does this mean Jeff Sims is locked in as the starter?
2) Will Purdy push him in Fall Camp?
3) If Sims isn't challenged by Purdy, can Haarberg challenge for the backup spot? We saw what he can do with the read option in the Spring Game.
4) Was this Rhule's way of telling D-Coordinators that this kind of QB run game is coming, but without showing how well the Top 2 QB's can run it?

We also touch briefly on the other players who are in the portal before calling it a night with a GLORIOUSLY GINORMOUS ANNOUNCEMENT! If you're reading these notes to find out ahead of time what it is, too bad. You'll have to watch the show, or listen to the podcast on Monday. Let's just say that we are going places, and the place we're going rhymes with "Smurf Fat"

On this episode of Generation Red: A Husker Podcast, it is our first MEGA POD, featuring Scott & I and three hosts from three Husker fan podcasts: Honke from the Go Big Redcast, Bryan from the Husker Army Podcast, and Andrew from the Big Red & More Podcast.

After watching new Husker Head Coach Matt Rhule's first Spring Game, we had a lot of good to talk about, along with some not-so-good. Five dudes crammed around a small 5 foot dining room table made for a bit of a challenge; both in elbow room and in decent camera angle coverage, but overall it was a fun and entertaining conversation.

We break down what we saw out of the new offense and defense, we each gave a game ball to a standout player, and then we finished our discussion with what Husker Nation largely hopes is the end to the Solich and brunette poser Herbie Curse. However, as a season-opening tussle with Minnesota looms in August, all of us will likely be asking the same question: is it REALLY finally over?

Lord God in Heaven, we hope so! Stay tuned for future MEGA POD collaborations with these three gentlemen, along with a HUGE announcement about our show coming in the near-ish future.

It's been awhile since Scott & I recorded our 72nd episode in which we happily trolled Iowa for it's three consecutive losses to Nebraska in the two major men's sports.

Let's just sit back and enjoy that for a moment...

Ok. On to the fun.

In this, the 73rd episode of Generation Red: A Husker Podcast, Scott and I watch the entirety of Head Coach Matt Rhule's press conference from March 28th, and give our live and unfiltered thoughts throughout. We also discuss the impending lifting of the Curse of Solich as Frank will be honored in Memorial Stadium during Nebraska's Spring Game on April 22nd. We rememisce on our memorable guest appearance on the Husker Cuz Cast on Sunday, and as always, throw some ear-wax related shade at Iowa's crappy corn.

All-in-all, it was a fun and informative show. Coach Rhule informed us, and we had fun talking about it. Lol.

Generation Red: A Husker Podcast presents our latest installment of A GenRed POD, where we look back at the Big Three victories over the Iowa Hawkeyes by Nebraska's Men's Basketball and Football teams. The coolest factoid about this show, is that it is the first time in the history of our podcast, that Scott and I have recorded in the same location: the brand new studio in my basement.

That being said, please accept my apologies for some audio and camera issues. This show was recorded with different software, and it has a bit more detail and learning curve involved. In spite of the hiccups along the way, the in-person conversation made for a much better experience for both of us, and we also hope the same will be true for you.

Oh...um yes, Iowa fans...we are trolling you. We are really proud of beating your sorry, unworthy-to-be-our-rival hides THREE STRAIGHT TIMES! Plus, we will always be VERY proud of the past glory we have witnessed, and we laugh at the past glory you haven't. Live with it, little brother. We let you have your seven years. That's over now.

Anyway, we thoroughly enjoyed recording this one, and while it was mainly focused on those tolling Squawkeye fans about three victories, we did venture into a philosophical discussion about the changing mood in the Athletic Department, and whether or not a "Rhule Effect" has begun to permeate throughout.

Koolaid Ken says yes...kinda.

Skeptical Scott says...meh. Maybe.

In this episode of Generation Red: A Husker Podcast, Scott and I talk specifically about Dylan Raiola's surprise unofficial visit to Lincoln last weekend. Over the course of about 30 minutes, we examine the meaning behind the visit, the motivation for Dylan's ultimate decision of where to go play college ball, the crazy fun that was him throwing the bones at a sold-out PBA, the crazy news cycle that was around that weekend, and then we give our percentage chances of him ending up in Lincoln.

This is the start of a new type of content that we plan to release during the off-season. They will be focused, single-topic episodes that we are branding as GenRedPods. Shorter name. Shorter shows. Good content.

On this episode of Generation Red: A Husker Podcast, we are joined by Justin and Derrick of the Husker Cuz Cast for the 11th installment of the Big Red Roundtable. Ahem, Tyler was again absent. Some people...

Tonight, we discuss the return of the Fullback to Nebraska's offense under new head coach Matt Rhule. We list our pros and cons, and then embark on a lively, tongue-in-cheek "debate" about the merits of the position, and it's relevance in modern football.
