Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

In this episode of Monday Night Therapy on Corn Nation, Minnie Hunt and Fred Sacco process the emotional fallout from quarterback Dylan Raiola officially entering the transfer portal. What begins as gallows humor quickly turns into a deep, timeline-driven postmortem of Raiola’s Nebraska tenure, from his arrival and early promise to his injury, coaching changes, and eventual departure. Minnie lays...

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, co-hosts Minnie and Greg START THE SHOW talking about men's and women's basketball as well as top-ranked volleyball's pursuit of the national championship. Then the focus will turn to football. The Huskers have an opponent for the Las Vegas Bowl, and the duo will discuss the Utah Utes. Our very own Minnie will be in attendance for that game. Nebraska has two ne...

Join us for the Huskers Happy Hour. And tonight, as the first week of bowl practices kick off, I am going to be turning to the comments after a short intro and we’ll see how far you take us. There’s no Husker game to review or preview this week, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of things to talk about - the firings and hirings at Offensive Line & Defensive Coordinator & Defensive...

The latest Monday Night Therapy opens with Minnie and Fred joking about their unusual background, wrestling belts, and Nebraska’s perpetual “pre-season championship” optimism. Conversation quickly shifts to major staff changes: the firing of offensive line coach Donovan Raiola and the swift hiring of Georgia Tech’s Geep Wade. Minnie and Fred highlight Wade’s impressive résumé, especially Georgia T...

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, hosts Minnie and Greg will honestly probably NOT recap the Iowa game from last week, outside of discussing how it led to Defensive Coordinator John Butler being future-endeavored. I mean, 40-16 is absolutely abhorrent. You don't want to discuss that. We don't want to discuss that. But the good news is that there are new Huskers on the horizon. Wednesday was Ear...

Join us for the Huskers Happy Hour and OH MY GOD, this is the worst year EVER!! Or it’s the best regular season record we’ve had since 2015? So confusing but we have plenty to hash out after a second straight blowout quickly followed by the John Butler firing. We can talk about that, about T.J. Lateef’s injured effort, and about Emmett Johnson’s big day in a losing effort which really upset some I...

On this episode of Monday Night Therapy , Minnie Hunt and Fred Sacco open with humor and self-inflicted shame after Nebraska’s loss to Iowa, including Minnie wearing “Iowa yellow” after losing a bet. The tone quickly shifts as they address the biggest news of the week: defensive coordinator John Butler’s firing following another embarrassing defensive performance, capped by Iowa scoring 40 points....

Emmett Johnson was a one-man wrecking crew, racking up 217 rushing yards, but it wasn't enough as Nebraska lost to Iowa 40-16 on Black Friday. Truly, a dark day indeed. Amidst the loss, freshman quarterback TJ Lateef suffered a tear in his hamstring, making him one-dimensional as a player. That led to 9 of 24 passing for an anemic (but nice) 69 yards. Many of TJ's passes were errant, often overthr...

Look kids, this is where the rubber meets the road. It's Black Friday. It's Rivalry Week. It's the HyVee Heroes Trophy. Dammit, I hate that trophy. I hate Io_a. I'm developing a healthy distrust of holidays in general, and you edge lords of the internet are starting to win me over to your side in this annual campaign of not only self-loathing, but a deep and perennial lack of enthusiasm about our...

Huskers Happy Hour kicks off Iowa Hate Week. Yes, yes, we lost to Penn State and we’ll talk about that some, but there’s precious little time to waste in a short turnaround holiday week which will culminate for us on Black Friday when the Huskers break the streak of recent Iowa dominance. Since they’ve never really won a title in anything, we are their Super Bowl and that fact alone is worth some...

The episode of Monday Night Therapy opens with Minnie and Fred reacting to Nebraska’s demoralizing loss to Penn State and shifting attention toward rivalry week against Iowa. Minnie describes watching the game at a packed Husker bar in Scottsdale, where early optimism evaporated after Nebraska failed on a key fourth down and Penn State marched 98 yards for a touchdown. Both hosts express deep frus...

I don't even know what to write for this description. The same issues that have plagued the Huskers all season came up and bit Nebraska in vicious form Saturday night in State College. Nebraska didn't take the early points (again), the opponent marched down the field 98 yards and absolutely demoralized the Huskers in the process. It was crushing. Nebraska never got going again. This episode will b...

The latest Five Heart Podcast opens with Greg and Minnie reacting to the major news that quarterback recruit Dayton Raiola has decommitted from Nebraska. Minnie explains that while disappointing, the move may be in Dayton’s best interest given Nebraska’s depth chart and limited early playing time. The hosts also discuss speculation about Dylan Raiola’s future, including social-media activity linki...

The episode opens with Minnie, Fred, and the ever-sleepy Willie hosting Monday Night Therapy , joking about dog jackets and greeting a lively chat full of familiar names. The conversation quickly shifts to Nebraska’s upcoming game against Penn State, a matchup fans had worried about since January. Despite Penn State’s collapse earlier in the season—including losing their head coach and starting qu...

The latest Five Heart Podcast opens with playful banter between Greg and Minnie about titles, equality, and co-hosting duties. Chat participation quickly heats up, leading to jokes and light teasing. The tone stays humorous and conversational throughout. Minnie discusses her recent trip to the UCLA game, describing the Rose Bowl atmosphere and the overwhelming presence of Husker fans. Greg and Min...

It’s bye-week time, so we’ll talk about T.J.’s first start. We’ll talk about the offensive line’s resurgence - no, stop it, yes they are. We’ll talk about John Butler’s Blackshirts. The Special Teams. The receivers turning into a hunting unit. And Emmett Johnson. Yes, all it took was a record-breaking game on an episode of Big Ten After Dark in Los Angeles, but people are noticing now. In under a...

Minnie and Fred’s latest Monday Night Therapy episode was lighthearted and celebratory after Nebraska’s 28–21 win over UCLA. They began joking about Willie the dog, wine at the Rose Bowl, and the high drink prices, before turning to football talk. Minnie described the strong Husker crowd and UCLA’s lackluster fans. The hosts praised quarterback TJ Lateef’s poised debut—no sacks, no interceptions,...

This week on Corn Nation Overreaction, Greg, Hoss, and Jake discuss Nebraska's win over the UCLA Bruins at one of the most hallowed stadiums in all of college football, the Rose Bowl. The Huskers led bell to bell and, get this, actually scored a touchdown in the third quarter. It would prove to be the game-winning score as the hard-charging Bruins kept the pressure on late. But a defensive stop al...

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie will recap the game last week against USC. Emmett Johnson's brilliant performance and the epic appearance of the Blackout were overshadowed by Dylan Raiola's season-ending injury and the offensive collapse that came with it. The Husker offense was rendered ineffectual in the second half, mustering just three points after the break. Freshman TJ L...

This time around on Huskers Happy Hour, we contemplate a finish to the 2025 season without Dylan Raiola. The Blackout was a rousing success…except for not winning the game. After looking a little shaky when being tossed into the fire against Southern Cal, T.J. Lateef takes over at QB against UCLA in a Big 10 After Dark matchup in the Rose Bowl. The players have a mantra for it, but Emmett Johnson’...

In this episode of Monday Night Therapy , Minnie and Fred discuss Nebraska’s heartbreaking 21–17 loss to USC, focusing on Dylan Raiola’s fibula fracture and its ripple effect. They condemn the “hip-drop tackle” that caused the injury and debate its legality, agreeing that the Huskers’ offense faltered after Raiola went down. Minnie praises his toughness and leadership—he even tried to return befor...

The Huskers lost more than the game Saturday night, losing sophomore quarterback Dylan Raiola for the remainder of the season with a broken fibula. The Trojans spoiled a special night for the Huskers, coming from behind twice to win 21-17. And they did it in ways we expected, by running the ball at our defensive front and by taking away Nebraska's big plays. While an early three and out for the Bl...

Get ready for an exciting episode of the Five Heart Podcast as we dive into the Nebraska Cornhuskers' recent victory against Northwestern, securing the team's bowl eligibility! We're riding high on this win and can't wait to discuss what it means for the future of the Huskers. We’ll also be joined by a special media guest who will provide in-depth analysis and insights into the upcoming showdown a...

It's time once again to talk Husker football, both a review of last weekend’s victory against Northwestern and a preview of the upcoming blackout clash against Southern Cal. And the referees. Some folks will always try to shame you into just accepting and overcoming shoddy zebra quality in the Big 10, but after a decade or more of this, it’s pretty obvious it’s not coincidence. But we’ll chat abou...

The latest Monday Night Therapy opened with relief and cautious optimism as Minnie and Fred celebrated Nebraska’s sixth win, putting the Huskers at 6–2 and bowl eligible for the first time in years. Despite the milestone, fans remain divided—some thrilled with progress, others frustrated by “ugly wins.” Minnie and Fred agreed that injuries, inconsistent offensive line play, and lingering mistakes...
