• Monday Night Therapy: Analyzing the Ups and Downs of Nebraska’s Coaching Changes
    Mar 11 2025

    Join us for an insightful episode of Monday Night Therapy as we analyze the ups and downs of Nebraska football’s coaching changes. We’ll begin by reflecting on the golden era of Tom Osborne, whose legacy looms large over the program and continues to set the standard for success. As we transition into the post-Osborne period, we’ll discuss the challenges the Cornhuskers faced in maintaining that success after such a legendary coach stepped down. The mixed results and drama during the Bo Pelini era revealed the struggles inherent in following a beloved figure, while the Mike Riley and Scott Frost eras further impacted the current state of the program.

    We are excited to welcome Andy Ketterson from Corn Nation, who will provide insights into Nebraska’s new coaching landscape. We’ll delve into the backgrounds and coaching philosophies of new hires, including Special Teams Coach Mike Ekeler, Defensive Line Coach Terry Bradden, Defensive Backs Coach Addison Williams, and Associate Head Coach Phil Snow. With Matt Rhule at the helm, known for making significant strides in his third year, we’ll analyze how these new additions could reshape the team’s strategy and direction for future success.

  • Five Heart: Nebraska's Rollercoaster Ride: Fan Perspective
    Feb 28 2025

    This week on The Five Heart Podcast, hosts Greg and Minnie explore the rollercoaster of emotions experienced by Nebraska fans throughout the year. The ups and downs of the team’s performance from a passionate fan perspective, offering relatable insights and engaging commentary.

    Does it seem every off season, the Nebraska hype is just too much to take? Why are we constantly drinking the Rhule Aid? Is it the new players, new coaches, new schemes? There is always optimism surrounding a new fresh season and its potential for a really great team. Do Husker fans take it too far?

    Maybe it’s the early season wins that help ignite Nebraska fans and fuel expectations? If that’s true then its the heartbreaking losses that test the limits of our resilience. Those ups and downs of conference play are what make us feel like we are riding on a rollercoaster in the regular season.

    How can we best navigate the emotional swings? At The Five Heart Podcast, we open our community arms to what we call our “Fan-amily” every Thursday night at 9pm central. We encourage camaraderie with each other and enjoy sharing personal anecdotes, as zany as they may seem at times to help ride that emotional rollercoaster in hopes of watching our Husker team fight for victory on Saturdays.

    This is college football after all. The unpredictable nature is why it is so captivating.

  • The Rise and Fall (and Rise Again?) of Nebraska Football; Thru the Eyes of Chat Superstar Fred Sacco
    Feb 25 2025

    If you have watched a Corn Nation video in the past couple of years, chances are you have heard the name Fred Sacco. Fred joins Minnie on Monday Night Therapy to talk about his experience growing up and living in Nebraska. As a Nebraska alum during the birth of the Golden Era in Nebraska Football he will share how electrifying plays by Tommie Frazier led the Cornhuskers to back-to-back national championships in the ‘90’s, with the legendary Tom Osborne as head coach.

    As the dynasty continued with Eric Crouch in the 2000’s, he led Nebraska to another championship appearance and was awarded the Heisman Trophy in 2001. Crouch’s impact on the program solidified Nebraska’s place as a national power. The years after Crouch saw a succession of head coaches and quarterbacks. While success was mixed, the program continued to find ways to win.

    From head coaches Bo Pellini to Mike Riley, Nebraska fans needed a change, with the return of the ‘95-’97 champion QB Scott Frost who fans dubbed ‘Golden Boy’ to begin a new chapter as head coach. The high hopes they had for Nebraska to return to national prominence were met with inconsistencies at the play caller position with Adrian Martinez. Despite the ups and downs, Frost attracted top recruits back to the program.

    After HCSF, Matt Rhule, a coach known for his program-building success, takes the reins in Lincoln. Rhules arrival signaled a fresh start and a renewed focus on building a winning culture. However as the landscape of college football is ever changing, Rhule has had to learn and adjust quickly. The first big key towards winning football came in the shape of 5 star recruit Dylan Raiola, Nebraska’s quarterback. Dylan has had a full season to learn to navigate the more competitive nature and the high demands of playing at the college level.

    Will Nebraska football be great again? After Tyson Terry, 4 star DT 2025 football recruit won his 4th straight Nebraska State Wrestling Title and finished his high school career with an undefeated record, it just might be that players with that ultra competitive spirit are exactly what this team needs to give us the edge.

    Also, Nebraska wrestling will have finished their regular season on Sunday the 23rd as they go into West Lafayette ranked #5 in the NCAA. We will discuss the final dual against Purdue and what the B1G Wrestling Championship in Evanston, Illinois will look like.

  • Five Heart Podcast: Avoiding the Doldrums of the Husker Football Off-Season
    Feb 14 2025

    This week on the Five Heart Podcast, the format is thrown out the door.

    That’s right, Holgermaniacs, the show you wanted for months is finally happening!

    The pages of Minnie’s notes are OUT! Greg’s freestyle approach is in. It’s what you think you’ve wanted but only time will tell if it turns into the prize you think it is.

    Let’s face it...just like Batman at the end of The Dark Knight, Greg is the hero this show deserves, but not the one it needs right now (that would be Minnie, for all of you wondering).

    But it’s the football off-season. We’re not yet to Spring Football. The transfer portal is temporarily closed. It’s less the off-season and more like the dead period. But Mike Ekeler was officially announced as the Special Teams Coordinator and his salary was revealed. How does it compare to other salaries on the coaching staff? Who needs a bump in pay? Who is overcompensated?

    Also...Nebraska Men’s Basketball. Though I feel like even mentioning them by name casts a shadow over the program. I love Fred Hoiberg and I love this team, but it seems like the more I watch them or care about them, that’s when their performance anxiety kicks in. And we don’t want that.

    We’ll also cover women’s hoops, wrestling, and softball. Baseball starts up this week so there may be something there to discuss.

    It’s all in a wild and whacky show - NO FORMAT - on the Corn Nation YouTube, Facebook, and X. Join us.

    We insist.
