Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

This is a brand new Five Heart Podcast, with Jon Johnston and Todd Wolverton. There was plenty of scuttlebutt this week as Texas and Oklahoma announced their intentions to leave the conference they love to go to “greener pastures.” And in this case, it's all about the money. I mean, it was a decade ago for Nebraska, too, but we also hate Texas. It's odd to me that two teams that hate each other as much as they do would be in cahoots to abandon the Big XII together, hand in hand, skipping on down to the SEC. Also, it was Big Ten Media Days. And things were said. That's about it. And from the feedback we saw on social media this week, you all are tired of hearing talk and are anxious to see improvement on the field (we are too, but we're contractually obligated to cover B10 Media Days). Meanwhile, hang in there. We're getting closer every day. GBR Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Todd and I get together for another episode of the Five Heart Podcast! It's a grand old time as we discuss the latest monumental hire of Rob Childress as director of player development for the Nebraska baseball program. Then there's this other hire that happened this week as Trev Alberts is Nebraska's athletic director. Neither Todd nor I are that impressed with this hire. We discuss that. KEEP IN MIND - that just because neither of us are really positive on this hire that we want Mr. Alberts to fail. I speak for myself when I say that I hope he's incredibly successful to the point that my questioning of this hire is ridiculed for ages to come. We also wonder if Nebraska's media has asked Mr. Alberts about his dismissal of the UNO Wrestling program and given him a chance to clear the air. Enjoy the podcast! Give us some feedback!

It's been a couple months since the last episode of The Counter Bootleg Podcast. In the 12th episode I quickly discuss who I wanted as Athletic Director. Spoiler alert - Trev Alberts was not my first pick. Then I went over my initial reaction to the news that Trev Alberts would be the new athletic director at Nebraska. As I say in the podcast my immediate reaction was, “OH, COME ON!.” After several hours of thinking about the hire the excitement dissipated and I reevaluated my initial reactions. If you listen to the podcast I bet you will find that you probably also had a lot of the same thoughts one way or the other. I still don't know where I land on the decision but regardless he's the one they picked and now all I can do is hope he is successful. Please give it a listen!

Nebraska hires Trev Alberts as the new athletic director. I am not happy with this. I make that pretty clear in this video, done out in the woods so I could walk the anger out of me. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's a state law, a media regulation, that every offseason, typically in May or June, that we must discuss the end of the Nebraska football sellout streak. Therefore, here is your 2021 Nebraska Football Sellout Streak might end video. It's not looking that good right now, after talking to some people who buy season tickets. There are a lot of reasons for that, and I try to cover them in the video. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Name, Image, and Likeness - NIL - goes into effect TODAY. This is one of the biggest developments in college athletics, EVER. CAPITAL LETTERS EVERYWHERE! I got the chance to interview Boost Mobile's CEO Stephen Stokols about NIL. Boost Mobile is sponsoring Hanna and Haley Cavinder, twin guards on the Fresno State women's basketball team. The Cavinder twins have one of the biggest social media followings of any current NCAA athletes as between them, they have over 5 million total followers across Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok.  NIL will be interesting because it may benefit small business more than it will massive companies like Verizon, Nike, etc. College athletics is very regional in nature. A local bakery shop could get more mileage out of sponsoring a local college basketball player because that player wouldn't even show up on a large company's radar. We talk about some of these issues in the interview. Mr. Stokols talks very fast. There is a LOT going on, and there will be an explosion of announcements about this over the next few days. One point of confusion. We kind of go back and forth about today or tomorrow. I say “Today” because the content wouldn't be released until Thursday. He says “tomorrow” because he thinks I'm putting something out immediately. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg is back and Jon feels like shit. So that's what you have in store for you today. We talk about Adrian Martinez and Scott Frost's legacies being intertwined and if it's a bad idea for coaches to go back home at some point in their careers. Also, the CWS, and the Supreme Court decision that will likely affect the NCAA at some point in the next eighty years. Tell your friends. Be watching for the video at some point this weekend, maybe.

Heyoooooooo! Todd and I get together for another episode of the Five Heart Podcast! This episode we discuss: New recruits - Quarterback Richard Torres and kicker Josh Jasek The Christian McCaffrey tweet taking a shot at Scott Frost as shown below The Big Red Blitz tour and the recruiting class numbers How much Todd hates exploitation Name Image and Likeness as it pertains to Nebraska Regarding the McCaffery Tweets: Mitch Sherman started it when he tweeted the bit below. Then Luke's overachieving brother took at shot at Scott Frost when Frost was talking about bad advice, not Luke McCaffrey. I got in on it with a really mean tweet, honestly, because I thought Christian McAffrey's tweet was stupid. STUPID. Dylan McCaffrey transferred from Michigan to Northern Colorado to play football. Luke McCaffrey went from Nebraska to Louisville to Rice, a place known for great pitching, or at least it used to be. Sensitive much, McCaffrey brothers? Learn more about your ad choices.

Todd and Keith Yaple join me as we celebrate, bitch, and moan about Nebraska's loss to Arkansas in the regional final. We discuss: Nebraska's loss to Arkansas The Strikezone How will Arkansas be treated if they get to Omaha A quick run around look at other regionals The Strikezone Kevin Kopps and the 743,000 pitches he threw Arkansas' complete disrespect toward Mojo Hagge and his family What about pitchers for next season?

Many of you likely remember former Nebraska Cornhuskers beat writer Christopher Heady from his days with the Omaha World Herald. The secret Kansan spy spent a number of years following the inside action at the Hendrix Training Complex and Pinnacle Bank Arena during the end of the Tim Miles era and start of the Fred Hoiberg era. That unique perspective gave him an interesting look at how two very different coaching era were in Lincoln. Luckily for our listeners, Chris was generous enough to give us his time and talk about some of the contrasts between the coaching regimes and the overall picture of where basketball stands in his mind among the Husker fanbase. Did the athletic administration care about basketball before Hoiberg? Did fans? Do facilities actually matter? What about after Hoiberg's hire? How significant was the hiring by Nebraska in contrast to previous hires or even at other Power Six programs? How much did support from the athletic administration change overnight? What went wrong in the first two seasons and where are things heading from here? Also, is Ohio State a “basketball school”? What about Michigan? If you haven't gotten the picture by now, this was an all encompassing episode and listeners won't want to miss a second of it!

Heyoooo. Todd leads the Five Heart podcast this week. I join him. We talk for a bit about the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder and what changes it may bring. If you think we should stick to sports, sorry, not sorry. Todd reveals that an athlete he coached was inducted into the Iowa Hall of Fame recently. That is pretty cool. Todd and I discuss: Nebraska baseball winning the Big Ten conference after being picked eighth. Why were they picked eighth? How far can they go in the NCAA? Will they beat Michigan? The tweet below has since been deleted. Here’s a partial screenshot. The tweet is regarding that Kevin Warren thought the letter last year to the Big Ten from Ohio State parents about canceling football season was made up. This leads us to a discussion as to whether or not Warren should keep his job. Are we being fair to him? Wasn’t it hard to lead during this pandemic? Learn more about your ad choices.

Todd leads the podcast because he does a GREAT INTO. He’s joined by Jon Damn Johnston and Nate McHugh. We have a grand time discussing the following subjects: 100 Days Til Football season Ronald Thompkins and the transfer portal - How many players transferred under Tom Osborne? The Battle for NU in 2022 Will Take Place in Ireland - Would you go? Nebraska baseball - where they’re at and the wild two weeks left Lexi Sun returns for another season. She is the closest thing to an Amazon goddess that exists - how much could she make if NIL gets enacted within the next year? Then, for a stupid offseason topic, we discuss the following: And what wild beasts do Americans think they themselves can take on? You have to have a plan. I could kill a grizzly bear. I reveal my plan. We want to hear your stupid offseason topics! Give us some to discuss! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this very special episode of the Five Heart Podcast, HOSS FREAKIN' REUTER IS BACK! He's taken some time away from the show because he's in a Masters program. But he took a little time to talk with me about some of the mental obstacles that have plagued the Huskers in the last, say...20 years. That's right, 20. November 23, 2001, to be exact. The date that, according to Hoss, stripped away any and all mystique around the Husker football program. Since then, Hoss claims, the Huskers have had a self-efficacy deficit. What does that mean? We find out. And we learn about proximal goals ("aim small, miss small"), and two words that Hoss has been harping on for so long that we almost put it on a t-shirt...incremental improvement. This is a solid episode and we hope to have more Hoss going forward, at least as his schedule will allow. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg, Jon, Todd, and Nate give one last talk about the Spring Game, what did we see that we liked? What do we think needs to be addressed?

Part of the Five Heart Podcast - Jon and Todd - review this past weekend as members of the Nebraska media. There was a beautiful series against Rutgers at Haymarket Park. Beautiful because there were a lot of fans in attendance and it was wonderful to see and hear them. Being swept by Rutgers? Not so much. There was a wonderful Nebraska football spring game! We watch our beloved Huskers zip around the field, then we pretend our analysis means something. The “Welcome Back to Memorial Stadium” piece by Scott Frost was incredible. Watch our weekend review!

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg is back after a prolonged absence. And Jon is here to set the record straight: If you’re not excited for the Spring Game, what the hell are you even doing? Also - what are you looking forward to seeing from the Spring Game? Have you ever driven twelve hours to Ames, Iowa? And how did Todd’s father used to describe a man’s goatee?

As of now I’m sure you heard it but another sports media personality, not an expert, (Paul Finebaum) said that Nebraska fans are still living in the glorious 90s. As I say in the podcast, I think Paul Finebaum is an uniformed troll who is a broken clock. He knows that he’s a troll and he knows Nebraska fans will respond. He also isn’t wrong about the fanbase. It’s the best and worst part of Nebraska football. With that said, I think it’s lazy to continue to make the “living in the 90’s” comment regarding Nebraska football. This is particularly true after the past decade. Please give it a listen. Please subscribe and download the podcast. Leave a review and let me know what you think!

It’s another Five Heart Podcast episode! This time, Greg is out. Todd is out. Our beloved Beth is in to talk about the NCAA volleyball tourney. Husker Mike joins the two of us to go over what this new one-time transfer rule is about.

Jon, Todd, and Nate get together this week as Greg is out again. The three of us discuss: The NCAA’s latest mess - the women’s Volleyball tournament. There are to be no broadcast crews for the first two rounds of the tournaments. There are to be no locker rooms for the teams until the Elite Eight. The floors are said to be of questionable safety. Jon goes on a rant (shocking!) about how the NCAA is a giant money-laundering scheme. Jason Peter and Jay Foreman are involved in Husker practices. Is this a good thing? What possible purpose could they serve? This leads to a long discussion of discipline. Nebraska has had a discipline issue for a very long time. How will this get fixed? Is discipline a matter of experience? (Note that over the past couple years, transfers have been captains, rather than guys who have been around for years.)  Nate brings up the phrase, “GET OLD, STAY OLD” at which Jon takes personal offense. Is discipline a matter of focus? DO YOUR JOB! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

As I was writing my Spring Preview article on the wide receivers I had a thought. I feel, somewhat surprisingly, pretty good about almost all of Nebraska football’s position groups going forward.

Greg is out again this week, so it’s Todd, Nate McHugh and myself going over Nebraska Cornhusker 2021 spring football story lines! We preview all the juiciest tidbits of what YOU should be looking out for this spring. Special Teams - WE MUST IMPROVE! What are the problems? How will that happen? Who is Logan Smothers? Seriously. Last year we heard shit tons of talk about Luke MCCCAFFREY before he ever stepped foot on the field. Logan Smothers has been here a while and no one has ever seen him play football! How many quarterbacks are on the roster? How many place kickers are on the roster? Receivers - Omar Manning! That new guy who’s name no one can pronounce! More quarterback talk! (Can there ever be enough?) How did Kearney take over this position? Mark Harrdelberg! Heinrich Misker! Some other guy no one has heard of!   What is the Identity of this team? Do they need a slogan? WE CAN DO THAT! WE CAN DO IT EVEN BETTER IF YOU GIVE US IDEAS WE CAN STEAL! It’s a smorgasbord of spring football goo! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on the Five Heart Podcast - it’s time to start talking football again! Spring practice is here!

It’s the Jon and Todd show this week as Greg is out. We cover the gamut of Husker sports going on right now! We’re a current events podcast now! Egad! Have you filled out your NCAA basketball bracket? You joined the CN Bracket Challenge, right? The NCAA Wrestling tournament was going on as we were recording. Somewhat of a disappointing showing for our beloved Huskers (I am really fucking tired of typing those words together.) With Todd around, we go through wrestling. Todd and I were both present at US Bank Stadium last weekend for Nebraska baseball. We give you a run down of what we saw. Volleyball update. Nebraska Football - we have to talk about football. We have a discussion about our beloved Huskers’ schedule, noting that Nebraska’s athletic department might be trying to move or add a game on September 4th. A home game. AND WHAT ABOUT OKLAHOMA?  I point out what happens at contingency planning meetings and how that could have lead to the debacle that was the consideration of re-scheduling the Oklahoma game. Alien invasion? I have brought that up in a meeting. Trained Communist Rats in the ceiling chewing on network cables? YES I HAVE BROUGHT THAT UP TOO. You gotta listen to find out what’s going on!

Todd and Dylan get together and preview the Big Ten Wrestling tournament. If you’re into wrestling this is the best Nebraska wrestling coverage you’re going to get. Dylan is our wrestling guy, while Todd coached high school wrestling in Iowa during his career in education. I am not making any exaggerated claims in the above statement. We discuss Teddy Allen leaving the Nebraska basketball program. And in the end, we pay tribute to Andy Hoffman, father of Jack Hoffman, and founder of Team Jack. Passing away of brain cancer at 42 is a cruel blow to a family who has been through so much. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

He doesn’t pull any punches about what they went through, his thoughts on playing at Nebraska, and what it’s like to play offensive tackle. Yoshi and I discuss: The 2009 season and why he chose to come to Nebraska Barney Cotton as an offensive line coach His mindset regarding not being the starter at the beginning of the season vs. Washington - the Taylor Martinez coming out party Texas A&M - remember that game? 16 penalties vs Nebraska, it was clear the officials had no intention of Nebraska winning that game Blocking Von Miller and what that does to an offensive tackle’s confidence Losing to Texas, again.

Todd used to dance with Rhonda Revelle in college at UNL Recruiting - do top recruits always pick winning teams?

This episode I interview Sean Conley, author of the book “The Point After - How One Resilient Kicker Learned There Was More To Life Than The NFL”. “The Point After” is about Conley’s drive from childhood to become a NFL kicker despite his high school not having a football team. He somehow finds his way onto a small college team, then finds his way to Pitt and becomes a starter. Next, he tries the NFL. Conley’s book is interesting; it’s rare we get a story about a guy playing sports that isn’t a “glory story”, i.e., them or others talking about how great they are, what obstacles they had to overcome while nothing bad happens along the way unless it’s glossed over so as to not make you feel too bad. Conley is pretty honest about his goals, dreams, his failures and what they do to him. It’s even more rare we get a story from a kicker. Nobody cares about kickers until they miss or they don’t have one, but rarely do we get an idea of what they go through. Sean and I discuss: His book (duh) The injury that ended his career, how it came from overuse, and why this is important for young athletes to understand. What it’s like to try to make a NFL team. Why I should feel sorry for a guy who’s been dumped from or is retiring from the NFL. Yoga. And men. Resilience. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Patrick Ebert from D1 baseball.com joins me for an interview about Big Ten baseball. Patrick and I discussed: The Big Ten’s conference only schedule. There is no such thing as RPI this season. Will that help or hurt the Big Ten when it comes time for the NCAA tournament selection. Is there anything that stands out about the Big Ten’s baseball schedule? Who are the top four teams in the conference? Where you see Nebraska? What was your reaction to Darin Erstad’s resignation? What is your impression of Will Bolt? Give us a breakdown of Nebraska’s pitching staff. Who do you see as starters? The Big Ten doesn’t care about baseball. Give me a reaction to that statement. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Jon, Todd, Greg, and Nate (for a little while) talk about Husker wrestling, men’s basketball, softball and baseball.

It’s time for a new Five Heart Podcast. And this week, Greg, Jon, and Todd are all over the place, talking about 1990s HBO and some old Husker baseball memories. You remember baseball, right? Well it’s that sport that the Big Ten just can’t seem to figure out. (Softball too, sorry.) The Big Ten has misplayed every aspect of every sport for the last eleven months, putting schools and their teams in impossible situations. While other conferences are proactive and have tried to implement plans that allow their student-athletes an opportunity to compete, the Big Ten leadership can’t seem to get out of their own way. So we talk about the lack of a plan for baseball, and how the Nebrasketball team is playing 15 games in 32 days, yet the conference is concerned about the well-being of the players. And since we just had National Signing Day, we talk a little about the player who committed to Nebraska...and the player who did not. And some former Huskers are in the Super Bowl, so we have some predictions for that game. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode, Jon talks about Nebraska baseball and how the Big Ten doesn’t give a damn about baseball. We start with Nebraska fans’ attitude when we first joined the Big Ten. Remember that? We thought we’d take over the conference. Hasn’t quite happened. Is that Darin Erstad’s fault? What about recruiting? A schedule is yet to be released, but right now it looks like the 2021 Big Ten baseball season will be conference only, four games per weekend and no mid-week games. This will destroy the Big Ten’s RPI, meaning they’ll find it difficult to get more than one team into the NCAA Tournament. Does the Big Ten actually care about the sport of baseball? It doesn’t look like it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Everybody loves tiers! In this short 10+ minute episode of the Counter Bootleg I comment on my owned biased perspective as well as how describing a transfer can show your real agenda.

Dedrick Mills is trying his luck in the NFL Draft. Both will be missed. But the Huskers have incoming skill position players from Montana and Southern California. Meanwhile, the defense keeps a lot of experience with more players saying they are coming back. Is this an endorsement of Chinander and the direction the defensive unit is heading? And Todd is here to fill us all in on Husker Wrestling and give us a preview of tonight’s dual with #1 Iowa, WHICH YOU CAN WATCH ON BTN! So that’s it. Let us know what you think.

Star receiver/running back/all-around explosion that is Wan’Dale Robinson announced that he’s putting his name in the transfer portal in the hopes of finding a place closer to his mother and family that will allow him to achieve his dreams and goals. Robinson cited his mother’s health as the main reason for his departure. Unfortunately his departure brings forth other questions about Scott Frost’s tenure at Nebraska. There are many players across the nation who have entered the transfer portal, but to lose your star offensive player and (probably) best player on your team begs the question if there are other issues, such as having a quarterback who can hit a receiver with a pass 20 yards or more down the field.

Greg and I get together after a a short break to talk (or scream, in my case) about how the year 2021 hasn’t really started yet, and how the 70s produced the worst decade of music in human history, even if the 70s (the decade) was only two years long. We actually get to Husker talk as we discuss what the return of JoJo Domann and Cam Taylor-Britt mean to the Nebraska football team. We discuss the pros and cons of the transfer portal and the national title game between Ohio State and Alabama.  Greg dyes his hair. I do too. (I DO NOT! - GM) Learn more about your ad choices.

Ramzy Nazrallah, executive editor of the Ohio State site Eleven Warriors, joins me to discuss the upcoming 2020 College Football Playoff National Title game between the Buckeyes and the Alabama Crimson Tide. Ramzy and I discuss the evil nature of both teams, that fans hate both these teams and are “forced” to root for Ohio State even though they can’t stand them. There’s a lot of star power in this national title game on both sides: Quarterbacks: Justin Fields - Mac Jones Running Backs: Trey Sermon - Najee Harris Receivers: Chris Olave - Devonta Smith Does Ohio State stand a chance of winning? How will the Buckeyes stop or slow down the incredible ‘Bama offense? Is Ohio State’s defense up to the task? And finally, I ask Ramzy: Do you want to thank Nebraska for bringing back Big Ten football? It’s a fun interview! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Dedrick Mills had a hell of a game as Nebraska defeated Rutgers 28-21 last week to wrap up the 2020 Nebraska football season. But could Mills have done more? Well, yes, but that’s not his fault. You can carry your team inside the 5, but you can’t get the call for a handoff, apparently. Lovie Smith is out at Illinois and the most unthinkable coach is hired as his replacement. And Nebraska players vote to not play in a bowl game. That’s unusuak Be sure to “Use Your Voice” and became a part of the show by calling (402) 327-1830. Or Facebook and Twitter, which are below.

Welcome back to another episode of: Of Bangarangs and Daggers. This week’s episode features Matt Belz of Bucky’s 5th Quarter, Wisconsin’s SB Nation website. Matt was kind enough to come on and preview the Wisconsin Badgers with Kevin. Matt gives the inside scoops on the Badgers 6-2 record thus far. Was that Louisville win really that impressive? Is the Marquette loss going to be more the norm? Is there any real star power on the roster or does this team simply bore you to death? All of that, and more including some ever classic Brad Davison hate from Kevin. Finally, Matt and Kevin discuss the depth of the Big Ten and who they think is a contender versus a pretender.

Hey everybody! It’s the Yoshi football show with former Husker offensive lineman and current CFL football star Jermarcus “Yoshi” Hardrick. This week Yoshi and I talk about Nebraska’s nice win over Rutgers. There were a whole lot of good things that happened in this game and we have you covered. Yoshi and I discuss: 620 total yards offense, 365 yards rushing at over 6 yards a carry Why and how running backs and offensive lineman can get in a “rhythm” How this game sets up a very young offensive line for future success A defense that played very well Overcoming four turnovers and what that means to a young team Yoshi’s reaction to me telling him Nebraska had opted out of a bowl game and football season is over Learn more about your ad choices.
