Don't worry - we're going to talk about football, obviously. We're a week away from kickoff. But we owe it to you the viewers to get the best volleyball writer in the state on back on the show, Corn Nation's very own Beth Merrigan. We will discuss 2025 expectations under new Nebraska Head Coach Dani Busboom Kelly, the new volleyball super league and Husker connection up in Omaha, and even the recent alumni game, which is always a fun event. When we get into the football conversation, there's discussion about the final preparations for next week's season opener against Cincinnati. We will get into some of the press conferences of the week. And while the first game of the season won't be played at Memorial Stadium, we'll talk about the new Husker-branded beer that will be offered in Lincoln this year. We'll also talk about field and stadium names, just to unleash a little fury that I personally don't foresee us ever having to worry about.

The latest Five Heart Podcast opened with technical glitches and lighthearted banter between hosts Greg and Minnie, joking about frozen screens, USB ports, and their “zero-budget” basement production. The conversation shifted to Nebraska football, just two weeks from the season opener against Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium, noting over 60,000 tickets sold—mostly to Husker fans. Discussion centered on defensive analyst Phil Snow's role mentoring younger coaches, stressing preparation, standards, and stability, as well as special teams coordinator Mike Ekeler's motivational style, his “one shot, one kill” philosophy, and his push for excellence across all roles. Freshman Australian punter Archie Wilson's emotional press conference and unique ambidextrous kicking skills were highlighted, along with linebacker Vincent Shavers Jr.'s enthusiasm for blitzing and team camaraderie. Single-digit jersey assignments were announced, and wide receiver Dane Key's 1,000-yard season goal was shared. Other topics included the addition of Bud Light sales at Memorial Stadium and upcoming Husker volleyball matches. The episode peaked with a comedic “Five Heart Theatre” skit parodying Greg and Minnie, which drew big laughs from viewers. The show closed with Q&A from the live audience, optimism for the season, and the reminder that “Five Heart is all the heart you need!”

Everywhere you look that assesses toughest places to play fails to mention Memorial Stadium anymore, which is a good assessment based on how Nebraska has played the last 10 years and the losses they've had at home But if the Huskers do take a leap this year and are in the playoff conversation, it should be a tougher place to play automatically…but will it going forward? What needs to change besides simply winning more games?
