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.
Kyle Crooks was joined by Nebraska Football great Aaron Taylor to chat about his selection into the Nebraska Athletics Hall of Fame, his time in Lincoln, his advice to future Huskers, and much more!

The Huskers have just 12 commits for 2026. Is Matt Rhule asleep at the wheel—or five steps ahead of the game? In this episode of the Big Red Junkies, BJ, Jed, and Matt dive into what looks like a shockingly small recruiting class for Nebraska Football in 2026. But don't panic. The crew breaks down why this shift might be more about strategy than desperation. We hit on: Why the class might stay under 16 total commits Whether roster limits or a full cupboard of young talent is driving the small size How Matt Rhule is killing it at retaining players (no mass exodus like other programs) The new reality of recruiting through the transfer portal Why events like Nebraska's Adidas 7-on-7 tournament are low-key recruiting gold How long-term relationship building (like with Williams Nwaneri) is reshaping Husker targets What the staff gets right that past regimes never did—adaptation and branding And we couldn't help but rant about the flood of Ohio State, Oregon, and Texas gear in Omaha. Husker Nation's youth movement needs a damn spark—and Rhule might be the one to reignite it.
In this lighthearted and laughter-filled episode of the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie celebrate a trio of birthdays: Minnie's middle daughter who turned 13, America's birthday, and Greg's upcoming birthday—all while embracing the off-season Husker vibes. The crew dives deep into a uniquely Husker tradition: reliving bonehead plays that, in hindsight, no longer hurt. From Scott Frost's infamous onside kick call in Ireland to Jake Cotton's slow-motion false start and the 2021 punt to the wrong side of the field, they revel in shared suffering with the chat. A surprise highlight of the night is the debut of a patriotic-themed Five Heart Theatre sketch featuring “Uncle Sam” (Minnie) and “Coach Tom Osborne” (Greg), which earns rave reviews from the live audience. The duo also celebrates a growing 2025 recruiting class, notably recent WR and OL commits, and debates when Nebraska might contend for a Big Ten title again—settling on 2026 or 2027. Amid sips of beer, chat antics, and birthday gifts, the show is a blend of nostalgia, optimism, and a rallying cry to keep believing. As Minnie puts it: “We're moving forward.” And Greg? He's just hoping we all remember that five heart is all the heart you need.

On this lively episode of Monday Night Therapy, host Minnie Hunt opened by discussing her growing YouTube presence and shared excitement about launching a new Sunday night show on broader college football. She reviewed Nebraska's latest 2026 offensive line commitments, including four-star Claude Mpuma from Illinois and three-star Leon Noyle Jr. from Louisiana, prompting conversation around roster limits and the transfer portal. Minnie welcomed regulars like Husker Chuck and Fred, while Connor joined from his new Scottsdale studio to debate Nebraska's EA Sports CFB25 top player ratings and projected win totals. Connor predicted losses to Minnesota and Penn State, while Minnie and Greg leaned more optimistic, emphasizing Dana Holgorsen's potential to revamp the Husker offense. They also discussed upcoming games, ticket-buying strategies, personal memorabilia collections (like a framed Pat White photo and vintage ticket stubs), and Nebraska's red end zones debuting both in real life and in the game. A musical interlude featured a fan-made Bob Devaney tribute song from Poly Jam, which elicited both admiration and laughter. As the show wound down, the trio debated Midwest cuisine, wrapped asparagus in bacon, and relived the chaos of airport bar culture. All in all, it was a heartfelt, chaotic, and deeply Nebraska-centric hangout.

We can all agree, Nebraska Football hasn't been the same since T.O. left, nearly 3 decades ago. It started alright with Frank Solich, but Bill Callahan, Bo Pelini, Mike Riley and Scott Frost drove our proud and once dominant program into near oblivion. The Jury is still out on Matt Rhule, but things are looking more positive than they have since the 90's.

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?

In this episode of Monday Night Therapy, host Minnie Hunt is joined by Pigskin PD (Peter Bartell) and law professor Adam Lamparello for an in-depth look at the NCAA House Settlement and its massive impact on the future of college football. The panel breaks down how the new system allows universities to pay up to $20.5 million annually to athletes, alongside NIL deals, and explores the legal, competitive, and Title IX ramifications. Adam explains why this structure may further widen the gap between powerhouse programs and smaller schools—sparking antitrust concerns and long legal battles. The conversation also dives into Nebraska football's identity, the importance of returning to its physical, trench-dominant style, and head coach Matt Rhule's efforts to rebuild the program. The group reflects on Nebraska legends like Tommy Frazier and Lawrence Phillips while discussing NIL's broader impact on player movement, recruiting, and competitive balance across college football. If you're passionate about Nebraska football history, college football NIL, or the changing landscape of the sport, this is an essential discussion. Plus, hear some fun memories about the 1869 Rutgers-Princeton game and Nebraska's storied quarterback legacy. #NebraskaFootball #CollegeFootballHistory #NIL #NCAASettlement #GoBigRed
