Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

This week on the Overreaction Show, Greg, Hoss, and Jake will discuss and break down Saturday's 28-21 win over the Northwestern Wildcats. As has been the Huskers' modus operandi in conference play, it was not a pretty game. It was, in fact, ugly. But as we have also seen most of this season (the exception being Minnesota, really), there were glimpses of some really stellar individual performances....

There may not have been many positives from last Friday's game at Minnesota, but we'll scour the stats and find something to cheer. And if it's not from last week, we'll go back to the five victories of the season and find some reason to smile. Nebraska is 5-2. Win one game and you match last week's regular-season win total. Win two games and guess what...improvement! At the end of the day, you ei...

It's time for this week’s episode of the Huskers Happy Hour! And we’re not too damn happy at all, are we? Oh no, we’re not. In about 10 days, we’ve gone from that scrappy ball team who owns the 4th quarter and was thinking about 10 wins or so to a group who just got steamrolled by a mid-Minnesota squad for a 6th straight loss to P.J. So we’ve got plenty to talk about, am I right? Oh yes, we do! Th...

In this episode of Monday Night Therapy , hosts Minnie and Fred open the “Husker Hope Hotline” to process Nebraska’s humiliating 24–6 loss to Minnesota. The duo describe the defeat as one of the worst under Matt Rhule, marked by offensive line breakdowns, poor communication, and a lack of grit that contradicted the program’s supposed progress. They vent about mental mistakes, ejections, and coachi...

"Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. And no good thing ever dies." Andy Dufresne wrote those words to his friend Red once he had crawled through a river of, well, you know how the movie goes. Buckle up, Husker fans, we're in the river where we don't want to be. Instead of winning our second consecutive road game for the first time since 2006, the Huskers did next to nothing Friday nigh...

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie will discuss this Friday night's game in Minneapolis against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. You know them. You dislike them. The Fightin' Fleckies! The Huskers are 5-1 and 2-1 in the Big Ten following the win over the Maryland Terrapins. It was another game that wasn't pretty but the team showed determination and dare we say...heart! The Huskers...

This episode discusses how the team who pisses games away has become straight money in the 4th quarter. And by the way, James Franklin has been fired at Penn State and will Matt Rhule be replacing him the Sunday after the Iowa game??? I was at the Monday Press conference & will give you my takeaways from that. As for the watchers & listeners out there, I’m looking for you to pour your favo...

Minnie Hunt and Fred open Monday Night Therapy with lighthearted banter about Minnie’s dog, Willie, before diving into the week’s major story: Penn State firing James Franklin after three straight losses. The hosts debate what went wrong for Franklin, from team fatigue to locker-room discord, and express surprise at how quickly Penn State pulled the trigger. This naturally leads to speculation abo...

The latest episode of Corn Nation Overreaction celebrated Nebraska’s rise to No. 25 in the national rankings after moving to 5-1, sparking discussion about the meaning—and timing—of college football polls. Greg, Hoss, and Jake debated whether early rankings carry any real weight or simply fuel bias and conversation. They agreed that while polls are mostly meaningless until the College Football Pla...

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie look back at Nebraska's first Big Ten Conference win of the season, last Saturday's 38-27 win against Michigan State. There was good, there was bad, and to cap off the reference to one of the top westerns of all time, there was ugly. But this Nebraska team is different. There will be a bit of a player focus as the pair spend some time talking ab...

The Huskers finally end their 40+ day homestand with the first stop in College Park, Maryland, for a showdown with the #1 Terps. Along with Michigan State post-game and the Maryland preview, we’ll talk about how Big 10 expansion from the west coast may have benefitted the Huskers most of all. And, of course, we’ll go wherever our HHH viewer comments take us - you guys have really been ramping up y...

Minnie and Fred open Monday Night Therapy celebrating Nebraska’s 38–27 win over Michigan State, then pivot to a Maryland preview with guest Matt Germack of SB Nation/Testudo Times. Matt explains “September Maryland”: 19–3 in September over five years, 12–22 afterward. He says the Terps’ defense is notably improved with a legit pass rush (freshmen edge duo Sidney Stewart and Zaheer Mathis), but the...

This week on Corn Nation Overreaction, the guys are talking about the weekend's win over Michigan State. Despite scoring on their first drive and blocking a punt for a touchdown on the Spartans' first drive (shout out Special Teams!), at times the Huskers looked lost. The interior quarters (second and third) were pretty atrocious. At one point, the Huskers, who had opportunity after opportunity to...

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, it's time to get back in the saddle and preview some Nebraska football. The 3-1 Huskers host the 3-1 Michigan State Spartans for the fourth straight home game (fifth if you include Husker Nation's takeover of Arrowhead Stadium). Nebraska is coming off a 30-27 loss to Michigan. Sparty also won their first three games just to lose their conference opener. The Spa...

It is once again game week and, once again, some Michigan twerps are barging into Lincoln. So we’ll take a look at Sparty and what they’ll bring to the party and hazard a guess or two as to what if any changes the Huskers will be unearthing. I’ll be broadcasting from another Colorado motel, but I haven’t made up my mind where that will be yet, as the last few days in the mountains will involve wha...

On this episode of Monday Night Therapy, Minnie and Fred welcome Matt Sheehan from Locked On Spartans to preview Nebraska–Michigan State. Matt says MSU’s offense has taken a big step: QB Aiden Childs is smarter with the ball and dangerous on designed or scramble runs, with NFL-caliber targets like Nick Marsh. The offensive line is improved but dealing with injuries, including a sidelined left tack...

The Nebraska Cornhuskers had a bye week after completing the first third of the 2025 football season. The Huskers are 3-1 (0-1 in the Big Ten). This week's show is going to be an analysis/assessment of the first four games. Hoss will have scouting reports on how opponents defend Dana Holgorsen's offense. He also has a few ideas on how we can defend Michigan State when the Spartans come to town nex...

Well, it's the end of September and we're a third of the way through the 2025 football season. Nebraska is 3-1 with lopsided wins over inferior opponents. But the recent loss to Michigan that opened up conference play shined a spotlight on areas of weakness, where our beloved Huskers need to improve. Offensive line, defensive line, tackling. While we still have eight games in and the transfer port...

On this episode of Monday Night Therapy , Minnie and Fred reflect on Nebraska’s close but frustrating loss to Michigan. They joke about the “rite of passage” of attending a home game defeat, yet emphasize there were positives. Minnie insists Nebraska is “dangerous” despite negativity from fans, praising Dylan Raiola’s talent and leadership. Still, the offensive line’s struggles dominate discussion...

The Nebraska Cornhuskers played valiantly, displaying a degree of mental toughness that fans have been waiting for for years. But there are no such things as moral victories, and after Nebraska's 30-27 loss to #18 Michigan, today can cause us to feel empty or hollow. The defense gave up some big runs that tilted the stats and the game. It looked at times like we forgot how to tackle, and the CBS a...

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie will quickly recap Nebraska Football's 59-7 win over the Huskies of Houston Christian University. A week after the 68-0 destruction of Akron, the Huskers posted another lopsided win, and got into the depth charts in the process. The starters sat the second half, giving an opportunity to TJ Lateef, Cortez Mills Jr, Kwentin Ives, and a host of oth...

This week, the main topic will be Michigan, of course, as the Big 10 season opens. Will the Blackshirts shine or will Justice Haynes run wild. Will Bryce Underwood have another freshman meltdown? How about former Husker Ernest Hausmann - how will he fare? Of course, we’ll look back to the HCU game as both the starters and the backups shined once again. And there was that Bud Crawford fight, of cou...

Minnie Hunt and co-host Fred Sacco kick off Monday Night Therapy with chat shout-outs and Big Eight nostalgia before welcoming guest TJ Ronan from Michigan’s “Voice of College Football.” The trio dives into Nebraska–Michigan week: Minnie teases Michigan’s soft schedule; TJ pushes back and outlines the Wolverines’ 2024 identity—elite young QB Bryce Underwood, strong linebackers (including ex-Husker...

Sunday night's show will look just a little bit different as Hoss and Jake are away for a family function. So Greg is making a call to the bullpen and bringing in Corn Nation's very own Nate McHugh. And I'll be honest - I had a much better write-up for this but Streamyard erased it. The Huskers beat the Houston Christian Huskies 59-7. The Nebraska starters sat after halftime, allowing the depth ch...

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie will recap last week's impressive 68-0 win over the Akron Zips. When the whistle blew on the end of the first quarter, the Huskers carried an unimpressive 9-0 lead. Fifteen minutes and 24 points later, Nebraska extended their lead to 33-0 (that's how math works). But for Head Coach Matt Rhule, that was not enough. He tore into the team at halfti...
