Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

Five Heart Podcast from the Home of the 2025 Big Ten Media Days

In this lively episode of the Five Heart Podcast, hosts Greg and Minnie recap Minnie’s recent experience attending Big Ten Media Days in Las Vegas. It was her first time attending, and she offered a behind-the-scenes look, sharing anecdotes about mingling with media members, seeing Nebraska’s contingent up close, and even getting a question in to Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz.
Minnie enthusiastically shared her impressions of the event, including her admiration for the charisma of coaches like PJ Fleck and Matt Rhule—though her praise for rival coaches earned her some humorous accusations from Greg and the chat of entering the “fan transfer portal.” She admitted to clapping for Matt Rhule (a media no-no) and asked Dylan Raiola if he’s still boxing, which he confirmed.
Other highlights included:
Minnie reporting that Matt Rhule spoke highly of the current team, even referencing Scott Frost in an unexpected way.
Discussions about Nebraska’s favorable schedule, the team’s playoff hopes (with Minnie boldly giving them a 9.5/10 shot), and concerns about the running back room depth.
A spirited back-and-forth over Big Ten vs. SEC conference scheduling, with both hosts agreeing the SEC should move to nine conference games.
Side tangents on Hulk Hogan and Ozzy Osbourne’s passing, 80s nostalgia, and dream rivalry matchups.
Promotion of Minnie’s Sunday YouTube show “The Ladies of College Football.”
The show wrapped up with jokes about Minnie possibly betraying the Huskers, plenty of chat-room teasing, and a promise to return for preseason predictions before Nebraska’s opener.

CN’s ALL THE RIGHT MOVIES: North Dallas Forty!

Join us this Tuesday night at 8pm CST as All the Right Movies will cover North Dallas Forty starring Omaha’s own Nick Nolte as well as Mac Davis. 
The movie was based on the Peter Gent tell-all book of the same name and is not only hilarious, but manages to also capture the immense pain players go through and how through all the garbage they still love the game.
It’s not much of a secret the two main characters were based on Gent and Don Meredith in their Cowboys days - the only thing those uniforms are missing is the star on the helmet. You will also recognize John Matuzak and you can bet he wasn’t acting too much with his rage-fueled monologue to the coaches near the end.
Don’t let the 1979 release date stop you - yes, the scenes, especially of the two games, weren’t exactly shot in NFL facilities. But the performances, especially Nolte’s, ring true and deliver plenty of laughs.
Need one last selling point? The NFL and the Cowboys wanted NOTHING to do with this film.
North Dallas Forty - see you there.

CN’s ALL THE RIGHT MOVIES: Bloodsport!

Join us Tuesday night at 8pm CST as Bloodsport finally gets its long-awaited turn on All the Right Movies!
A member of my Top 50 Sports Movies series, this chopsocky classic which put Jean Claude Van Damme on the map, easily tops the sports movie charts in the category of Illegal Underground Hong Kong No Holds Barred Tournaments.
Any red-blooded male with cable in the 80’s watched this show about 50 times minimum and discussed just how quickly they could get a new hand-painted flip-sign up showing the new Kumite world record for fastest knockout.
This movie set the stage for so much which came after. UFC? Please. All they did was throw up a cage instead of letting someone win by pushing their opponent off the mat. Oberyn “The Red Viper” getting his head squashed on Game of Thrones after celebrating too early?
Completely ripped off from Ray Jackson getting head stomped by Chong Li after doing the same damn thing.
As always, the movie’s eligible categories will by ranked by their equivalent Nebraska Cornhuskers coaching legend (or Mike Riley) categories. Tune in by clicking the link above and be ready to chime in to the comments -

Five Heart Podcast: Revealing Our Most Hated Big Ten Teams

On this lively episode of the Five Heart Podcast, hosts Greg and Minnie dive headfirst into Husker news and fan emotions. They kick things off with the recent controversy surrounding former Nebraska head coach Scott Frost’s comment that Nebraska was “the wrong job”—a remark that fired up fans and drew sharp criticism from the hosts. They debate whether the blame lies more with Frost for his poor media presence or with clickbait journalism looking to rile up Husker Nation.
The show then transitions into a spirited discussion about the most hated teams in the Big Ten. Fans weighed in via live chat, and hosts shared their personal top-five lists—Greg revealing his disdain for Iowa, Michigan, and Northwestern, going as far as making a controversial declaration about a recent and yet somehow beloved “tradition.” Meanwhile, Minnie vented about Indiana, Michigan, and the arrogance of UCLA’s new head coach.
The podcast also featured a marathon reading of college football’s top 25 rivalry names (not games), courtesy of The Athletic, which drew mixed reactions from the live chat. Despite technical hiccups and spilled wine, the show wrapped with laughs, debates, and a reminder that “Five Heart is all the heart you need.”

The show kicks off with playful banter about vintage Husker gear, before diving into a retrospective on coaches like Scott Frost, Mike Riley, Bo Pelini, and Bill Callahan—where they are now and whether their post-Husker careers redeemed their time in Lincoln. The segment also explores the highs and lows of Nebraska’s coaching carousel and the emotional toll of years of “dead money” payouts.

Five Heart Podcast: When Nebraska Football Was Not at Its Best

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.

CN’s ALL THE RIGHT MOVIES - “Winners Want the Ball!” - The Replacements

It’s that loveably goofy story of Shane Falco and his band of scab misfits who win the hearts of local fans during a player strike. Because that always happens.
It’s time to take a deep dive at a picture starring an actor best known for playing former Ohio State quarterbacks who are dealing with the next stage of their lives after taking the Buckeyes to a New Years Day bowl game.
That’s right! It’s Keanu Reeves, this time in The Replacements as Shane Falco, whose disastrous Sugar Bowl performance led him to a life scrubbing barnacles off boats instead of NFL glory.
Could one bad game cause a player to go from surefire draft pick to not even being signed as a free agent? I mean, even Shedeur went in the 5th round after telling GM’s to get out of his way and let him run the franchise. 
It doesn’t matter. In this weird universe, the players are going to strike and the fans are ready to embrace scab ball and they need a hero who says “Whoa”. So join us tonight as we review an American classic with an American hero in The Replacements. And remember to jump into comments to participate even it’s just to sound off with a Go Big Red to let us know you’re there.
