Connor and Mike react to comments made by former Nebraska's special teams coordinator Mike Ekeler regarding Matt Rhule. They also talk more on relationships between Coach Rhule and his coaching staff.
-It's not often that the coordinators are more interesting than the head coach, but that was the case yesterday with wanting tohear from Rob Aurich and Dana Holgorsen…what did Rhule say about the team?-Rhule mentioned he wanted Holgorsen to call the offense more fearlessly…what else did we learn?Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Matt reacts to virtually everything said at yesterday's Pre-Spring Football press conference for Husker Football.
BC was at yesterday's football press conference, we get his reaction to Rhule and the other coaches, what can we actually take away from spring ball, and more.
The first time we've heard from Matt Rhule in 2026! Woah!
We continue going over the audio from Coach Rhule's first presser of 2026!
Austin, Dak, and Hunter update on the Husker basketball season, give thoughts on Bill Moos memoir, and update on other Husker news.
Greg opens the show in classic chaotic fashion, introducing Minnie Hunt and newly “promoted from the group chat” co-host Fred Sacco while accidentally throwing random images on screen. The conversation immediately derails into a surprisingly gourmet debate about breakfast pizza: Fred's version features bacon, egg, herb Havarti, dill, and green onion on a bakery sourdough crust from Omaha; Greg counters with a fully homemade crust (rolled out with a Louisville Slugger), smoked cheddar, bacon, sausage, and scrambled eggs. Minnie is offended she wasn't included in the earlier breakfast-pizza “cabal,” then tries to steer them toward “fruit pizza,” triggering friendly mockery and more donut-and-gas-station talk (including Casey's breakfast pizza snobbery). The show pivots to Bill Moos' book The Crab Creek Chronicles, where Moos describes heavy meddling around the Scott Frost hire, claims Frost wasn't eager for the job, and allegedly asked Moos to convince the team to play the 2020 bowl. They also touch on Moos exploring a return to the Big XII, and debate how fans, boosters, and administrators “run the zoo.” Later, they cover Nebraska's two NFL Combine invites, discuss Rhule being quieter lately, and worry about special teams continuity post-Ekeler. They recap strong Nebraska basketball despite an overtime loss to Purdue, joke that Minnie is “bad luck” when she watches, preview baseball's Desert Classic, then close with a “blind rankings” game of iconic Husker moments, housekeeping, and playful Wisconsin “besmirching.”
Greg kicks off a Thursday-night Five Heart Podcast on Corn Nation's platforms with Fred and Minnie, immediately devolving into the usual chaos: muted mics, jokes, and wardrobe policing. Minnie admits she's still “in mourning” after a rough offseason of losing coaches and players, but the group circles back to the mantra: trust Matt Rhule—even if they wish he'd communicate more. They correct a chat rumor: it's not Dylan Raiola switching positions; it's Dayton Raiola committing to Oregon as a tight end. That sparks banter about the Raiola family, recruiting ties to Polynesian communities, and a brief derail into religion and “what's offensive,” which the crew quickly tries (and fails) to escape. Another running debate follows: can Husker fans “like” other teams? Greg insists you can watch other games, but you can't cheer for anyone else; Minnie argues it's fine to enjoy good football. Eventually, they transition to real Husker news: special teams changes after staff departures, including discussion of former Husker kicker Brett Maher's résumé and why special teams will face intense scrutiny. The conversation turns into a larger gripe about Rhule's fourth-down “metrics” decisions versus taking guaranteed field goals. They briefly touch on Nebraska basketball's recent loss to Illinois, upcoming games, and end by praising longtime broadcaster Kent Pavelka and hoping this season finally rewards him with March success.
Nebraska has a new ST Coordinator!
-The article points out that Rhule is 10-17 in B1G play, but has made 2 bowl games in 3 years as a positive…can anyone really go higher than a‘C' though?-Other grades: Kenny Dillingham (A); Deion Sanders (C+); Brent Key (A); Jeff Brohm (A); Luke Fickell (C-)Our Sponsors:* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Kalshi and use my code SB60 for a great deal: https://kalshi.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

-Rhule went on Sports Nightly with Kyle Crooks on Friday night and talked a lot about Mike Ekeler in the past tense in terms of what hedid at Nebraska---making it seem more likely that he indeed moves on to USC or elsewhere---but it didn't sit right with a lot of peoplein how he addressed it-Also, there had been rumors of a Spring Game being in May….but it instead will be March 28 th …which also is right in the timeframe ofthe NCAA Tournament if Nebrasketball is still dancing…Our Sponsors:* Check out Aura.com: https://aura.com/remove* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Austin, Dak, and Hunter ring in the New Year with discussion on Husker football and basketball.
Matt wonders if there'll even be a new defensive line coach at Nebraska.
-A lot of people wanted Hoiberg fired after his third year, and it's hard not to see why----they were 7-25, 7-20 and 10-22 in his first 3years at Nebraska, and now it's started to flourish the last 3 years-Matt Rhule hasn't had THAT kind of rough start at Nebraska, but if he did he'd be surely gone…so has Hoiberg's success allowedpatience for Rhule or is it totally different?Our Sponsors:* Check out Aura.com: https://aura.com/remove* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Austin, Dak, and Hunter give their thoughts to the Husker football Christmas list for 2026.
Matt Rhule took issue with the term "program reset" at Friday's press conference. Connor claims the coach is right, but the messaging is off.
We discuss the differences between the way Fred Hoiberg built his team at Nebraska and the way Matt Rhule has built up the football program.
Connor dives back into his comparisons of Fred Hoiberg and Matt Rhule, and we ask why you don't feel bad for Matt Rhule the way you did with Fred Hoiberg?
Will we ever get straight shooting Rhule.
-We'll hear from Rhule and Lateef and other players to get an update on how bowl practice is going…what kind of wrinkles can this team provide to pull what would be a very large upset? -And a big shoutout to the Lincoln Airport for landing American Airlines…back in LNK for the first time in 21 years…with direct flights starting in 2026 to Dallas, Chicago and Phoenix.

Give Matt Rhule credit. He's making the changes he needs to make.
-Rhule spoke about new DC Rob Aurich and that others in the profession were high on him---as well as DB Andrew Marshall—and that was a big reason in hiring him -He also mentioned that Bradden was being let go after just one year on the job…rumors are out there regarding Syracuse DC Elijah Robinson being a target for Nebraska to replace him but LSU thinks they already have them…where does that stand now?

Matt Rhule's determined to fix the Huskers' defense.
Most Nebraska fans highly doubt that both Dylan Raiola and TJ Lateef are here next year, but there's a decent chance that at least one of them sticks around…right? If it is Raiola who stays, Rhule says he wants to see him make the jump into the QB we know he can be…can that happen with the current offensive staff and personnel or not?

Rhule addressed the class being so small as trying to be “selective” this year because the 2027 class could be “special”…when you have a contract extension you can preach patience, apparently He also mentioned Addison Williams will remain on the staff going forward and that he was important in recruiting Danny Odem and others….he also addressed John Butler not being a great fit for Nebraska and with Rhule as well… Show Sponsored by SANDHILLS GLOBALOur Sponsors:* Check out Hims: https://hims.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Infinite Epigenetics: https://infiniteepigenetics.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Uncommon Goods: https://uncommongoods.com/EARLYBREAK* Check out Washington Red Raspberries: https://redrazz.orgAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
