Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, the show opens up with discourse about the 2021 Nebraska Cornhuskers, dubbed the greatest 3-9 team in college football history (and not even by us). Why is this team, in the midst of Scott Frost's tumultuous tenure, regarded so highly, especially by outsiders? The offensive line over the course of the last (insert your preferred number here) year has been,...

You're seeing it all correctly. Do not adjust your antennae. Minnie is BACK! This week on the Five Heart Podcast, the unexplainable legal trouble of current and former Husker athletes. How does the distraction affect the Huskers? Will this provide some on-the-field clarity as far as who will be the designated number one RB in the Fall? Also, the wonderful people at ESPN put out a list of the b...

No, that's not our iTunes star rating (but it should be)! The NCAA announced this week that the world of college athletics is changing as the institution is enacting a new rule for college athletics eligibility. Five years to play five seasons. It doesn't exactly mean that student-athletes will conclude their collegiate careers by age 23/24. But it does effectively remove redshirt years an...

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, the final resolution from Lubbock, Texas as Brendan Sorsby is OUT of the Texas Tech program, looking instead at the supplemental draft. WE DID IT! WE WON! Those bastards from Texas got what was owed 'em! In other news, the Savannah Bananas invaded Lincoln last week, playing to a stadium crowd at Memorial Stadium that was their third largest attendance in Ba...

The talk all week long has been about Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby winning his injunction (with the help of a Lubbock, Texas judge) , how the journeyman quarterback will avoid punishment for gambling on games in which his team was playing. This has united most college football fans to bring down the hammer of hatred upon the Red Raiders, making them the lepers of college football. However...

Tonight on Monday Night Therapy, Minnie and Greg will discuss all things Husker Hoops as Fred Hoiberg and his squad prepare for the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. How will the Huskers respond after a disappointing exit Friday in the Big Ten Tournament to eventual champions Purdue? Nebraska faces Troy Thursday morning. What do the Sun Belt Champions bring to the court and how what are possib...

The Five Heart Podcast opened with playful banter before shifting into a lively discussion of Nebraska athletics, especially men’s basketball. The hosts celebrated Nebraska’s strong season, highlighted by the dramatic overtime win over Iowa, which they jokingly dubbed the “Cale Jacobson game.” They looked ahead to the Huskers’ Big Ten Tournament matchup with Purdue, expressing cautious optimism th...

Greg opens a late-February Five Heart Podcast by hyping the “tripod” of hosts— Minnie, Fred, and Greg —while the chat rolls in with the usual mix of inside jokes, trash talk, and regional rival cameos (Indiana, Michigan, USC, Minnesota, Iowa). Early banter centers on who Minnie’s “new favorite coach” is (Roy Manning), plus a running gag about “gaps,” “holes,” and Nebraska fans being the kind of fa...

Sorry for the late notice, but I wanted to get the show going a couple of weeks early this season and that meant overcoming tech glitches - it is what it is. 👍🏼 The first Husker Heat of 2026 debuts at 8pm CST Tuesday night! The young season has already seen two wins over #1 ranked teams & we’ll review those first three weekends. In addition we’ll talk about what’s upcoming including this wee...

Greg, Minnie, and Fred open the Five Heart Podcast in classic chaotic form—joking about missing Facebook, snow totals, and “guess what” banter—before diving into a big Husker news day: spring ball chatter and press conferences featuring Matt Rhule, new defensive coordinator Rob Aurich… (plus a heavy dose of defensive jargon), and Dana Holgorsen. Minnie is fully back on the February Kool-Aid, while...

Greg opens the show in classic chaotic fashion, introducing Minnie Hunt and newly “promoted from the group chat” co-host Fred Sacco while accidentally throwing random images on screen. The conversation immediately derails into a surprisingly gourmet debate about breakfast pizza: Fred’s version features bacon, egg, herb Havarti, dill, and green onion on a bakery sourdough crust from Omaha; Greg cou...

Greg kicks off a Thursday-night Five Heart Podcast on Corn Nation’s platforms with Fred and Minnie, immediately devolving into the usual chaos: muted mics, jokes, and wardrobe policing. Minnie admits she’s still “in mourning” after a rough offseason of losing coaches and players, but the group circles back to the mantra: trust Matt Rhule—even if they wish he’d communicate more. They correct a chat...

Minnie Hunt kicks off the Five Heart Podcast without Greg (who’s late due to computer issues), joined by Fred Sacco. They joke about Greg’s basement setup, chat about the weather, and riff on Stranger Things . The conversation quickly turns to Nebraska men’s basketball and the Huskers’ close loss at Michigan. Fred blames himself for watching, while Minnie and Greg argue the refs tilted the game la...

The Five Heart Podcast opens with Greg in Southern Illinois and Minnie reporting in from Pinetop, Arizona, as the crew jokes about time zones, “mountain girls,” and a brutal cold front hitting the Midwest. The chat piles on with weather reports, and the hosts briefly spiral into a funny-but-bleak discussion about rain, wildfires, and the realities of winter. The big show news is that “Monday Night...

The Five Heart Podcast opens with chaos as a CBS Sports report sparks rumors that Nebraska special teams coordinator Mike Ekeler is likely headed to USC. Greg and Minnie immediately caution against rumor-mongering—especially after past inaccurate reports—but the chat spirals into mourning anyway. They vent about the nonstop turnover in modern college football, where coaches and players chase bigge...

Minnie Hunt and Fred Sacco kick off Monday Night Therapy riding a rare wave of “vim and vigor” thanks to Nebraska sports actually giving fans reasons to smile—especially a 16–0 men’s basketball team sitting at #8 in the polls, plus the general buzz of winter workouts and portal season. The big on-show feature is Minnie’s deep dive on new defensive line coach Corey Brown (from Miami of Ohio), repla...

Tonight’s Five Heart Podcast opens like a Thursday-night bar set: loud, loose, and already a little off the rails. Greg rolls in as “the face that runs the place,” Minnie fires back with Blues Brothers/Cab Calloway chaos, and the chat jumps in to heckle like it’s front row on open mic night. Then the show turns into portal-season whiplash: tons of guys in the transfer portal, not many landing spot...

Minnie and Fred kick off “Monday Night Therapy” in full sad Husker mode, only to watch Nebraska’s latest QB commit (Minchey… or “what’s-his-name”) flip to Kentucky before he even sees Lincoln. The chat spirals into the same old rage: transfer portal chaos, NIL bidding wars, “do not contact” tags that mean nothing, and the exhausting feeling of caring way more than the players do. Greg jumps in lik...

On this final Overreaction episode of the 2025 season, Greg, Hoss, and Jake will talk about the Las Vegas Bowl. What transpired that led to a 44-22 Nebraska loss at the hands of the Utah Utes? How did the transfer portal, injuries, and assistant coach firings affect the team? And why did one Las Vegas Bowl official allegedly claim, "Nebraska's lack of athleticism was astounding?" Nebraska still do...

On a Five Heart Podcast on a special day and time, Greg and Minnie (and maybe a special guest) will discuss Nebraska's performance in the Las Vegas Bowl against the Utah Utes. Lots of players missing from Nebraska's roster today, as Nyziah Hunter was a gameday scratch for health purposes. No Emmett Johnson as the stud prepares for the draft. Were TJ Lateef and the Patchwork Huskers able to pull th...

Minnie Hunt opens “Monday Night Therapy” with Fred Sacco and Fred’s dog Willie as the crew gears up for Nebraska’s final game of 2025, the Las Vegas Bowl against Utah. The mood is a mix of relief and cautious optimism: as fans, they feel the team is “limping across the finish line,” but they also see the bowl as the start of next season—extra practices, player evaluations, and a chance for new coa...

On this episode of the Five Heart Podcast, the hosts will take a long look at the upcoming Las Vegas Bowl match-up with the Utah Utes. It was announced on Friday that Utah's coach Kyle Whittingham was in the works to be the new head coach at the University of Michigan. Would Whittingham coach Utah in the bowl game? After that word was made public, allegedly several Utah players began opting out of...

Join us to talk about everything going this tumultuous season in which drama seemed to pop in constantly like a flatulent unwelcome guest. As a final bow on a season which actually showed slight & continued progress, the 7-5 Huskers were gifted one of the three 10-2 programs who failed to be selected for the CFP. Utah is expected to roll the Huskers like well-prepared pizza dough and such a re...

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Nebraska's intended transfer portal departures will be discussed. Dylan Raiola is the latest Husker to likely attach a "former" ahead of that. Speaking of former Huskers, Emmett Johnson was named an All-American, rightfully so, if you ask me. He is Nebraska's first All-American since Lavonte David, and that just seems too long. We're now two weeks away from the...

It's the Husker Happy Hour as bowl chatter continues and, oh by the way, the Huskers had a 3rd player enter the portal. That might be news? Have we perhaps known for a bit and have another QB in our crosshairs? How is TJ? Can Phil Snow repair a defense which dropped off hard in the final two games? Volleyball, what the hell? These are only a few of the subjects on the table tonight for you guys as...
