Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

On this episode of Monday Night Therapy, host Minnie Hunt is joined by Jarek Shearer from Corn Nation to discuss Nebraska baseball's postseason journey—a rollercoaster that, while ending in a 17-1 loss to Oklahoma, still hints at a brighter future. Despite the rough exit, Nebraska's Big Ten Championship win and regional berth marked a clear upward trend. Jarek explains the loss came down to early defensive miscues and a thinned-out pitching staff, but even in defeat, the Huskers showed resilience and flashes of potential. Injuries sidelined key starters like Robbie Bolin and Max Butenbach, but their absence opened the door for younger talent to gain invaluable experience. Nebraska's lone regional win and season-long grit suggest the program is closer than ever to breaking through on the national stage—after all, one win away from a title game is still progress. With the addition of West Coast powerhouses like UCLA and Oregon to the Big Ten, competition is heating up—and Nebraska's ready to rise with it. Off the field, Jarek shared that he's expecting twins, a sure sign that great things are on the horizon. With momentum building, a revitalized roster, and just a bit of luck, Husker baseball could soon be a force to reckon with.

In the final 2025 episode of Husker Heat, the host recapped an unforgettable season for Nebraska softball, fresh off a road trip to Knoxville for the Super Regional. Nebraska narrowly missed advancing, losing two close games to Tennessee after an opening win. Jordy Bahl pitched all 21 innings and continued to prove she's among the nation's elite.

Davis shares insights into the foundational role Nebraska's strength and nutrition programs played in the Cornhuskers' dominance, emphasizing how walk-ons and farm kids pushed blue-chip recruits by outworking them. He discusses innovations like performance testing, customized nutrition cards, and year-round training, including offseason programs that prepared players physically and mentally. Davis also reflects on the evolution of training—comparing old-school techniques to today's tech-enhanced systems—and emphasizes fundamentals, balance, proper mechanics, and injury prevention.

Creatine use, the relevance of bench press, and high-tech versus practical basics are all explored. Davis underscores that most injuries result from fatigue and poor mechanics, not contact.

Well hello there, pardner, it's time for another rip-roaring episode of your favorite Thursday night show, the Five Heart Podcast. Listed among the elite Husker podcasts out there (it's true...it's damn true)! But enough about us. You're here because you love Nebraska football. And if we're being honest, there is no off-season.

Greg and Minnie will have a breakdown of the day's festivities. Thursday, we hear from Husker Football GM Patrick Stewart, whom we hope has Nebraska's big-picture gameplan for roster limits, NIL, and more. But let's face it...if we said we weren't here for the Jacob Bower story, I'd be lying. The linebacker from California turned down free education at West Point to walk on at Nebraska and did everything right. Worked hard, improved his craft, and was rewarded with a scholly by Matt Rhule. But with Name-Image-Likeness growing, are these types of stories going to become extinct?

This week, we're diving into the ever-evolving landscape of Nebraska football and college athletics as we dissect head coach Matt Rhule's jaw-dropping quote from last summer: “A good quarterback costs 1-2 million dollars in the portal in NIL.” Fast forward to today, and the stakes have skyrocketed!

The Five Heart Podcast on Corn Nation, which streams live on YouTube, Facebook, and X with your hosts Greg and Minnie, once again welcomes our lively chat “The Holgormaniacs:”. We're delving into an essential topic for Nebraska football fans: the insights from Defensive Coordinator John Butler's recent press conference. In this episode, we'll discuss Butler's view on the “lost art of tackling” and how Nebraska's commitment to physical practices sets the Cornhuskers apart from the rest of the Big Ten. Butler emphasized that tackling in the secondary is a critical trait that will be prioritized during spring practices. He outlined three key skills every defender needs: the ability to cover, tackle, and play the ball. With player safety being a significant concern within the last decade, Butler has made it clear that instilling physicality while maintaining safety is a delicate balance. “You have to practice tackling bodies,” Butler states, emphasizing the need for real-time practice to improve this vital skill. Don't miss out on this informative discussion about tackling techniques, player development, and how Coach Matt Rhule's focus on physicality is laying the groundwork for a successful season. We will cover these topics as well as Transfer Portal news. Tune in to discuss all things Nebraska football and support our Cornhusker team.

We're back! After taking our first week off in a very long time, Greg and Minnie return to your Thursday night with a show that is sure to inform and entertain. Or at least one of those. You be the judge! In post-season play, there can only be a handful of teams that end their season with a win. Fred Hoiberg's Husker squad did just that, winning the inaugural College Basketball Crown with a 77-66 win over UCF on Sunday. While cynics will lament that it's not a significant tournament, I (Greg, FYI) choose to view it the same way we look at the football team's bowl game appearance this past season...more basketball to play means more practices, and more spotlight on the program.  And in the days after Nebraska's win, with the transfer portal open, the Mayor welcomes several new and familiar faces to Lincoln.  But sadly, the portal door swings both ways (seeing is Fred actually reads this) and Nebraska is no exception. It was announced ate Wednesday that Husker guard Nick Janowski was entering the portal, but earlier in the week, Nebraska wrestling fans were shocked to learn that 3 NCAA qualifier Lenny Pinto was entering the portal as well. That's a potentially huge loss for the squad that just finished second as a team at the NCAA tourney.  And of course, what type of Husker show would we be without talking about football in April? From team dismissals (we Hardley new ye) to all of the latest happenings from Spring practice. I'll be honest (me again, Greg), I'm really out of the loop on everything that's gone on in Lincoln the last two weeks. So I'm as excited as you should be to learn and then instantly react based on pure emotion! 

The Huskers travel to 1st-place (3-way tie) Northwestern with a huge chance to close the gap on the top of the standings. Oh, and play Creighton as well.   The Nebraska Cornhuskers travel to Evanston, IL, this weekend for a conference tilt with perennial Big 10 power, Northwestern. This is their biggest chance to try and jump up with the current big 3 in the B1G whom they trail by 2 games in standings.  We'll also chat some about Wednesday night's game with Creighton, but if we're honest, losing that game would be a disaster - we'll tell you why. SO jump in tonight & participate by adding your comments!

It's time for another exciting episode of the Five Heart Podcast, featuring our dedicated chat group, the Holgormaniacs! We'll dive into the latest developments from Nebraska football, centered around the recent press conference discussing the start of spring practices and the highly anticipated Pro Day. This past Tuesday, Nebraska's indoor facility buzzed with energy as former players showcased their talent during Pro Day. NFL scouts, media, and fans gathered to witness a display of strength, speed, and agility, again this year a highlight was sophomore quarterback Dylan Raiola, who impressed while throwing to wide receivers and running backs. Coach Matt Rhule emphasized that spring practices are about evaluating talent rather than solidifying positions, as the team navigates a roster with significant turnover. We'll discuss key takeaways from Rhule's insights on player development, scheme installation, and how the new coaching staff is shaping the team. Senior Marques Buford and running back Emmett Johnson shared their excitement about the upcoming season and the evolving roles of players. Don't miss this opportunity to engage with us live!

With a revamped receiving room for 2025, the pressure is on for Raiola as he adapts to an aggressive game plan designed by new offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen and talented wide receivers coach Dakiel Shorts Jr. We'll discuss how these changes might shape Raiola's performance and what we expect from him moving forward. But who is Dylan Raiola? Born on May 9, 2005, he comes from a football legacy—his father, Dominic, was a standout center at Nebraska, later becoming a Pro Bowler for the Detroit Lions. Dylan's journey has taken him from high school in Texas, Arizona and Georgia to a commitment with Ohio State and Georgia before finally choosing Nebraska. We'll also touch on his connections to NFL stars like Patrick Mahomes and Matt Stafford, as they mentor him in his quest for greatness.

The anticipation for this critical game added an extra layer of excitement to the discussion. Aaron, bringing his insights from the diamond, addressed the pressing need for improvement in the baseball team's offensive performance. He lamented the current struggles at the plate, emphasizing the importance of securing hitters who can drive in runs and contribute to the scoreboard. As the discussion transitioned to football, partygoers engaged in talk about the wide receiver room and its promising future. Although this group contains a significant number of young talents, it boasts some star potential, with Jacorey Barney returning for his second year, as well as the addition of transfer Nyzaih Hunter from Cal and senior transfer Dane Key from Kentucky. Coach Shorts, the wide receivers coach, and Coach Holgorsen, the offensive coordinator, have a track record of building formidable offenses, leaving fans eager to see how they will develop this promising roster next season.

This week on The Five Heart Podcast, hosts Greg and Minnie explore the rollercoaster of emotions experienced by Nebraska fans throughout the year. The ups and downs of the team's performance from a passionate fan perspective, offering relatable insights and engaging commentary. Does it seem every off season, the Nebraska hype is just too much to take? Why are we constantly drinking the Rhule Aid? Is it the new players, new coaches, new schemes? There is always optimism surrounding a new fresh season and its potential for a really great team. Do Husker fans take it too far? Maybe it's the early season wins that help ignite Nebraska fans and fuel expectations? If that's true then its the heartbreaking losses that test the limits of our resilience. Those ups and downs of conference play are what make us feel like we are riding on a rollercoaster in the regular season. How can we best navigate the emotional swings? At The Five Heart Podcast, we open our community arms to what we call our “Fan-amily” every Thursday night at 9pm central. We encourage camaraderie with each other and enjoy sharing personal anecdotes, as zany as they may seem at times to help ride that emotional rollercoaster in hopes of watching our Husker team fight for victory on Saturdays. This is college football after all. The unpredictable nature is why it is so captivating.

If you have watched a Corn Nation video in the past couple of years, chances are you have heard the name Fred Sacco. Fred joins Minnie on Monday Night Therapy to talk about his experience growing up and living in Nebraska. As a Nebraska alum during the birth of the Golden Era in Nebraska Football he will share how electrifying plays by Tommie Frazier led the Cornhuskers to back-to-back national championships in the ‘90's, with the legendary Tom Osborne as head coach. As the dynasty continued with Eric Crouch in the 2000's, he led Nebraska to another championship appearance and was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 2001. Crouch's impact on the program solidified Nebraska's place as a national power. The years after Crouch saw a succession of head coaches and quarterbacks. While success was mixed, the program continued to find ways to win. From head coaches Bo Pellini to Mike Riley, Nebraska fans needed a change, with the return of the ‘95-'97 champion QB Scott Frost who fans dubbed ‘Golden Boy' to begin a new chapter as head coach. The high hopes they had for Nebraska to return to national prominence were met with inconsistencies at the play caller position with Adrian Martinez. Despite the ups and downs, Frost attracted top recruits back to the program. After HCSF, Matt Rhule, a coach known for his program-building success, takes the reins in Lincoln. Rhules arrival signaled a fresh start and a renewed focus on building a winning culture. However as the landscape of college football is ever changing, Rhule has had to learn and adjust quickly. The first big key towards winning football came in the shape of 5 star recruit Dylan Raiola, Nebraska's quarterback. Dylan has had a full season to learn to navigate the more competitive nature and the high demands of playing at the college level. Will Nebraska football be great again? After Tyson Terry, 4 star DT 2025 football recruit won his 4th straight Nebraska State Wrestling Title and finished his high school career with an undefeated record, it just might be that players with that ultra competitive spirit are exactly what this team needs to give us the edge. Also, Nebraska wrestling will have finished their regular season on Sunday the 23rd as they go into West Lafayette ranked #5 in the NCAA. We will discuss the final dual against Purdue and what the B1G Wrestling Championship in Evanston, Illinois will look like.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, the format is thrown out the door. That's right, Holgermaniacs, the show you wanted for months is finally happening! The pages of Minnie's notes are OUT! Greg's freestyle approach is in. It's what you think you've wanted but only time will tell if it turns into the prize you think it is. Let's face it...just like Batman at the end of The Dark Knight, Greg is the hero this show deserves, but not the one it needs right now (that would be Minnie, for all of you wondering). But it's the football off-season. We're not yet to Spring Football. The transfer portal is temporarily closed. It's less the off-season and more like the dead period. But Mike Ekeler was officially announced as the Special Teams Coordinator and his salary was revealed. How does it compare to other salaries on the coaching staff? Who needs a bump in pay? Who is overcompensated? Also...Nebraska Men's Basketball. Though I feel like even mentioning them by name casts a shadow over the program. I love Fred Hoiberg and I love this team, but it seems like the more I watch them or care about them, that's when their performance anxiety kicks in. And we don't want that. We'll also cover women's hoops, wrestling, and softball. Baseball starts up this week so there may be something there to discuss. It's all in a wild and whacky show - NO FORMAT - on the Corn Nation YouTube, Facebook, and X. Join us. We insist.
