In this lively episode of the Five Heart Podcast, host Minnie kicks off the show solo while Greg arrives fashionably late. With help from Husker Chuck and several other Holgor-Maniacs, the gang dives into a Mount Rushmore of the most iconic plays in Nebraska football—at least within each fan's era of fandom. Husker Chuck recalls Corey Schlesinger's second touchdown in the 1995 Orange Bowl, Alex Henery's 57-yard field goal in 2008, and even a bone-jarring hit in the 1978 win over Oklahoma. James and Joe submit their picks, including Johnny Rodgers' 1971 punt return, the “Flea Kicker,” the “Fumblerooski,” and Levante David's strip of Braxton Miller. Greg reveals his personal top four, which includes Tommy Hill's 2023 pick-six against Colorado. Minnie, proudly representing newer fans, lists more emotional moments like the red-light show at Memorial Stadium and Dylan Raiola's commitment. The show blends humor, Husker nostalgia, and strong community vibes. Fans relive great moments while good-naturedly teasing Minnie for her unconventional picks—especially when she lists “fireworks” as a favorite play. Up next week: Boneheaded Husker plays.

Season 2 of All the Right Movies kicks off Tuesday night at 8pm CST with Happy Gilmore! I was going to hold this in my pocket for a while, but then came the wonderful news that the Happy Gilmore sequel would be arriving this summer, so how could we not?? (Spaceballs 2 as well!) Needless to say, Happy's tale will provide no shortage of stories and laughs. So pull up a stool, grab a drink and maybe some little pieces of s**t (NO!!) or whatever your heart desires, and let's get ready for what will hopefully be a legendary sequel!

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.

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. We're in the middle of Spring Practice. This Saturday is the Spring Game, or rather the Husker Games, and the celebration that surrounds it. 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! We will discuss the incredible ascent of quarterbacks like Darian Mensah, with an $8 million NIL deal, claiming the title of the highest-paid college football player in history.

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. As always, GBR! ******* Editor's Note: The concept of this episode was created before Thursday's Husker press conferences. So the show you get is about more than just tackling. We hope you enjoy it. I know I had a great time on the show. GBR!

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.
