Podcast appearances and mentions of Matt Rhule

After capping his time at Temple with third-team All-America and first-team all-conference honors, Matt Ioannidis forged a seven-year career in the NFL, including six seasons in Washington and one reunited with his former college head coach Matt Rhule with the Carolina Panthers. Ioannidis joined us on The Scoop this week to talk about his time in the NFL, explained his decision to retire at the age of 29, and reflected upon Temple's 2015 season that included the win over Penn State and the arrival of College GameDay in Philadelphia as the Owls nearly knocked off Notre Dame. He shared his thoughts on the current financial landscape of college football and much more in an interview you can only get here. We also recapped the largest comeback win in the history of the Temple women's basketball program and talked about how far Temple's core four of Derrian Ford, Aiden Tobiason, Jordan Mason and Gavin Griffiths can take the Owls in March.

-Way-too-early projections are obviously wrong a lot in big ways, but you'd be hard-pressed to find many Husker fans or anyone ingeneral who has much optimism about the year ahead or how things are going here-On3's rankings listed a Top 25 and then 12 more teams receiving votes---none including Nebraska.

The Five Heart Podcast opens with Greg in Southern Illinois and Minnie reporting in from Pinetop, Arizona, as the crew jokes about time zones, “mountain girls,” and a brutal cold front hitting the Midwest. The chat piles on with weather reports, and the hosts briefly spiral into a funny-but-bleak discussion about rain, wildfires, and the realities of winter. The big show news is that “Monday Night Therapy” is going on hiatus for the offseason, and Fred is joining the Five Heart Podcast as a regular panelist—turning the show into a new “tripod” dynamic. After some banter about streaming services replacing cable and costing just as much, the mood shifts: they're “wearing black” because Nebraska has lost special teams coordinator Mike Eckler, who is headed to USC. Minnie is especially furious and disappointed, arguing Eckler was a major reason special teams improved so fast. From there, the conversation expands into bigger concerns: staff turnover, Matt Rhule's culture and talent evaluation, portal strategy, and whether Nebraska is building a real identity or constantly rebuilding mid-flight. They compare Nebraska's instability to Indiana's sudden rise, debate NIL and “brand-first” athletes, and land on a familiar Five Heart thesis—Nebraska needs players and coaches who genuinely want to be there, buy in, and play for each other.

Minnie Hunt opens “Monday Night Therapy” with Fred Sacco and Fred's dog Willie as the crew gears up for Nebraska's final game of 2025, the Las Vegas Bowl against Utah. The mood is a mix of relief and cautious optimism: as fans, they feel the team is “limping across the finish line,” but they also see the bowl as the start of next season—extra practices, player evaluations, and a chance for new coaches to get real film on players. They discuss why Nebraska might have an edge: Utah's opt-outs and injuries (especially in the trenches) could matter, and Nebraska's own absences feel less damaging. They're excited to finally see backup running backs, a faster tempo, and the “X-factor” of a simplified approach under new staff influence. They also recap bowl-week events in Vegas and laugh about Matt Rhule's hat-backwards “gimmick” and social-media images. The conversation veers into Michigan hiring Kyle Whittingham and fanbase “self-soothing,” before returning to Nebraska's mindset: as underdogs with nothing to lose, the Huskers should play freer. They close by reading fan score predictions, joking around with Greg, and setting expectations simply: just look decent—and enjoy the trip.

Matt Rhule said a lot of things last night. Or, did he?

-Dannen spoke on Sports Nightly on Tuesday and mentioned when Matt Rhule said that Nebraska's roster needed $25-30 million to contend, and then he signed his contract extension a few weeks later and those comments were done on money -Dannen said the university has fully pledged its resources to football but the other programs will also benefit from it---and he even said “whether its $25 or $30 million, $22 to $50 million, we can compete” because of reallocations approved by the university president….are we reading this wrong or does it sound like they are taking away any excuses?  Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
