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, a Class of 1990 lineman 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, to the pros, and back to Nebraska, where he is now the the Huskers’ Assistant Athletic Director 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.
