On this lively episode of Monday Night Therapy, host Minnie Hunt kicks off the evening with greetings to a chat full of passionate Nebraska fans. The show features spirited banter, preseason optimism, and light-hearted jabs at Scott Frost's recent comments. Minnie previews her upcoming trip to Big Ten Media Days in Las Vegas, sharing her excitement about road-tripping through Zion and possibly interviewing Nebraska's quarterback, Dylan Raiola. Discussion centers around Nebraska's offseason buzz, including debates about whether Matt Rhule deserves “10 out of 10” status as head coach and how preseason media polls wildly differ on the Huskers' national standing. A consistent message emerges: Nebraska must prove itself on the field, especially in the season opener against a potentially underrated Cincinnati squad. Fans also reminisce about painful past losses, debate Big Ten vs. Big 12 strength, and weigh in on the NIL era and coaching ceilings. The episode closes with nostalgic and hilarious fan stories, a discussion of EA Sports College Football 25 ratings, and the late arrival of co-host Greg, who adds levity with dad humor and scouting insights. The mood is optimistic and communal, building anticipation for what many hope will be Nebraska's most exciting season in years.

BC weighs in on Scott Frost (very briefly), how to look at Matt Rhule now after hearing what Frost had to say about the Nebraska job, how to fix their red zone offense problem, and so much more.
CBS Sports added a decimal system this year (which is pretty annoying), but graded from a 5 being the hottest of hots to 1 being the lowest of lows in the hot seat watch…Matt Rhule was a 1 last year and is now a 2.11 for this year Who is in trouble? Scott Satterfield (4), Sam Pittman (4.22), Hugh Freeze (4.22), Brent Venables (4.67), Mike Gundy (4.33), and Brent Pry (4.11) among many others… Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Matt Rhule is golfing, when is the time he needs to refocus and "get back to work"? We get an update on Connor's softball standings, and how Vegas views college football's toughest stadiums to play in.
Nebraska won 5 games in Rhule's first year, and won 7 games last year with the bowl win (6-6 regular season)…does that mean that 8 wins or more has to be the expectation? And why should that scare anyone, especially with a bowl game to possibly get the 8th win? If you look at the SP+ ratings, Nebraska is favored right now to win 8 of their 12 games (only underdogs to Michigan, Penn State, USC and Iowa) Show Sponsored by NEBCOOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAKAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT exposes why Josh Pate and the rest of college football media are completely overlooking the chaos Bill Belichick is about to unleash at UNC. He breaks down how Alabama recruiting is still so lethal people act like Nick Saban never retired—and the future stars proving it. Then JT defends Billy Napier's turnaround at Florida and why the hate has become pure noise. He explains why Matt Rhule's Year 3 magic is setting Nebraska up for a breakout run and why the Big Ten is in for a nasty surprise from a tougher, meaner USC. And finally, he lays out a step-by-step blueprint for Oklahoma to actually *win* the SEC, but warns—one slip and it all goes to hell.
In this lively episode of Monday Night Therapy, Minnie Hunt is joined by Fred Sacco and a vibrant chat community to reflect on former Nebraska football coaches and current Big Ten storylines. The show kicks off with playful banter about vintage Husker gear, before diving into a retrospective on coaches like Scott Frost, Mike Riley, Bo Pelini, and Bill Callahan—where they are now and whether their post-Husker careers redeemed their time in Lincoln. The segment also explores the highs and lows of Nebraska's coaching carousel and the emotional toll of years of “dead money” payouts. Viewers share laughs and vent frustrations over Wisconsin's brutal 2024 schedule and head coach Luke Fickell's uncertain future. Other topics include quarterback rankings—highlighting Dylan Raiola's #3 Big Ten spot—plus chat praise for Garrett Nelson, Tommy Armstrong Jr., and Tommy Frazier's post-football careers. The mood is a mix of nostalgia, gallows humor, and cautious optimism as fans hope Matt Rhule brings stability and success. Special guest Jackson joins late to represent Alabama fandom and draw parallels between Nebraska's rebuilding efforts and Bama's historic transition post-Bear Bryant. The show ends with heartfelt community vibes, dog cameos, and reminders that in Husker Nation, the hunt matters as much as the prize.
