Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

This week’s Huskers Happy Hour was live last night, and now you can enjoy the recorded show either in video or audio-only form! This week is obviously party time, anxiety-free, after a 68-0 thrashing of the Akron Zips which had shades of the early 80’s Scoring Explosion - literally, as I will explain. Of course, we’ll run through the offensive fireworks. Dylan Raiola quickly made the grousers forg...

Minnie Hunt and co-host Fred Sacco open Monday Night Therapy celebrating Nebraska’s 2–0 start and looking ahead to Houston Christian. They expect a comfortable win, heavy rotations, and valuable reps deep down the depth chart—more like old-school Huskers blowouts, but without running up the score. Chat touches on Houston Christian’s recent rebrand from Houston Baptist, their early-season results,...

The Nebraska Cornhuskers left no doubt Saturday night, dominating the Akron Zips 68-0. On the Overreaction Show, Greg, Hoss, and Jake will look at the big win and discuss all that came from it. Over 700 yards of offense A shutout from all levels of the defensive depth chart A blocked field goal Running back room productivity Quarterbacks finding receivers all over the field A well-coached ballgame...

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, the team discusses last week's season-opening victory over Cincinnati. While the Bearcats made the game more interesting than Husker fans would have preferred, over 70,000 Nebraska fans went home happy after the final whistle blew on Nebraska's 20-17 win. The Huskers dominated the time of possession and the defense did a good job of shutting down the Cincy offe...

Join me tonight at 7pm CST as the victory over Cincinnati left us with both plenty to be happy about and plenty to be concerned out and we’ll dip into all. And for those concerned we might already be behind the curve, we’ll go down the schedule and confirm that, nah, were probably not. Coach, Dylan, Emmett, Dane, Nyziah, Williams, Vincent and, oh yes, Malcom, we’ll talk about who shined on a rauco...

Nebraska played Cincinnati to a close 20-17 win in their first game of the 2025 Nebraska football season. It was a win. It wasn't enough. It wasn't pretty, and it wasn't blowout, and it wasn't a destruction of a team that all Nebraska fans considered lesser than them. We'll be discussing the Cincinnati game tonight on the Monday Night Therapy live session. And we'll have guests and we'll grumble a...

Well, it wasn't always pretty, but the Nebraska Cornhuskers are 1-0 after a 20-17 win over the Cincinnati Bearcats at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium. The Huskers overcame an early field goal deficit to take a 13-3 halftime lead, exhibiting the ability to sustain long drives (even if they stalled at the goal line). The game featured a 100-yard rusher in Emmett Johnson and two throwing touchdowns f...

The off-season is about to be put in our rear-view mirror and the only question left if how disappointed - or maybe excited will we be when mid-October rolls around? We’ll take a deep look at the depth chart and naturally take a long gaze at the Cincinnati Bearcats who chose to take a big payday to give their home fans a 9 1/2 drive and the chance to be outnumbered about 70K+ to 6000-7000 instead...

The new season of Nebraska football brings another season of Corn Nation Overreaction with Greg, Hoss, and Every Game Jake. The crew kicks off by reflecting on personal milestones—new babies in the family—before diving into Husker talk.

It’s time for the movie based on the book about baseball sabermetrics which somehow ended up being entertaining as hell.

Beane w...
