And here come the pessimists…which is fine, for how Nebraska has let down its fans for years…but Nebraska's first real road game isn't until October 11th at Maryland. Yes, the Cincinnati game is a ‘road' game but we all know it will be mostly Husker fans So when you look down the schedule after that with all home games of Akron, Houston Christian, Michigan and Michigan State…can you see a 5-0 start happening or will they stub their toe against Michigan and/or Michigan State?

John has some fun History about the Nebraska (Corn)Huskers!
In this episode of Monday Night Therapy, host Minnie Hunt welcomes longtime Husker fan Fred for a lively discussion on Nebraska football. Fred shows off his vintage 2000 Husker Adidas polo as the duo dives into Nebraska's recent recruiting wins, including a big commitment from cornerback Danny Odom. They note the team's class ranking improvement from No. 74 to No. 61 nationally, with potential to break into the top 25. Minnie and Fred preview the first three games of the season—Cincinnati, Akron, and Houston Christian—debating whether they count as “cupcake” games. They agree Houston Christian is the weakest of the three, while Cincinnati, despite a 5–7 season and recent practice facility upgrades, presents the biggest challenge, especially with former Indiana QB Brendan Sorsby under center and a standout defensive tackle nicknamed “The Godfather.” The episode also features lively banter with the chat, special guest appearances from Husker fans, predictions of Nebraska wins over Michigan and USC, and plenty of humor—including jabs at P.J. Fleck's wardrobe, references to “skinny fat” players, and wine pairings for night games. Overall, the tone is optimistic yet grounded, with Fred and Minnie agreeing: this Nebraska team looks ready to take a step forward. Go Big Red!
Gary compares college football teams to an NFL counterpart.
Holgorsen of course came in late last season to Nebraska to help its sputtering offense, and the Huskers found their way to a bowl game and won that game vs. Boston College. In Sip's convo, he was told that Holgorsen is “enjoying the heck” out of this role as the offensive coordinator How difficult is that to go from man in charge to coordinator? Even if you're OK with it for a while, does it always stay that way?

The big news includes Nebraska's 2026 commit, four-star OT Hayden Ainsworth, and the de-commitment of four-star CB CJ Bronaugh, who flipped to Florida. Tight end prospect Luke Sorensen's visit to Nebraska also generated buzz, along with possibilities of the Huskers flipping Syracuse commits. The show reflects on O-line development, with optimism for Justin Evans and Grant Brix. The conversation takes a fun, off-topic detour into Midwestern stereotypes and “You might be from the Midwest if…” jokes, led by Minnie, at Greg's expense. Greg also shares a heartfelt Father's Day moment and shows off a personalized Funko Pop gift. Wrapping up, Greg croons a birthday serenade to Melissa, much to everyone's amusement.

Kan du huske din skoleklasse? Husker du dem, der blev mobbet? Det kan endda være, at du var en del af det. Enten som mobber, mobbeoffer eller passiv tilskuer. Måske ligger det mange år tilbage, men mobning lever i høj grad videre i dagens Danmark. Faktisk er mobning på få år steget markant i folkeskolen. Ida på 15 år har igennem flere år oplevet at blive ekskluderet, holdt udenfor og valgt fra af de andre i skolen. Lige indtil et særligt ophold ændrede hendes liv. I dette afsnit undersøger journalist Pernille Mainz, hvad mobning egentlig er. Og svaret viser sig i virkeligheden at være noget andet end det, mange af os går og tror.
