Davis shares insights into the foundational role Nebraska’s strength and nutrition programs played in the Cornhuskers’ dominance, emphasizing how walk-ons and farm kids pushed blue-chip recruits by outworking them. He discusses innovations like performance testing, customized nutrition cards, and year-round training, including offseason programs that prepared players physically and mentally.
Davis also reflects on the evolution of training—comparing old-school techniques to today’s tech-enhanced systems—and emphasizes fundamentals, balance, proper mechanics, and injury prevention. He highlights the importance of developing athletes’ understanding of movement, hydration, and nutrition.

Now running “Strength of America” and “Body by Bob’s,” he continues to educate athletes of all ages on how to train smart, eat right, and stay healthy for life.

This is a very special edition of Monday Night Therapy hosted by Minnie Hunt, featuring the highly anticipated return of Fred Sacco for Round 2 of his Corn Nation debut! After some technical issues during his first appearance, Fred is back, and we’re excited to dive deep into the exciting happenings surrounding Nebraska Huskers football.
This past Saturday, Nebraska hosted the thrilling Husker Games in Lincoln, showcasing a vibrant array of events that highlighted the team’s talent and camaraderie. One of the standout moments came when our QB1, Dylan Raiola, wowed the crowd by swooshing a football through a basketball net from the 50-yard line to the end zone—a jaw-dropping feat that showcased his incredible arm strength.
In addition to Raiola’s impressive throw, we saw a variety of competitions, including roping contests, a tractor pull, a weight-lifting contest, and a speed contest, all packed with excitement and showcasing the prowess of our athletes.
We’ll also discuss the latest news on Ty Robinson, who has signed with the Philadelphia Eagles, along with updates on all our Huskers who were drafted or signed as undrafted free agents (UDFAs) this weekend.

Well hello there, pardner, it’s time for another rip-roaring episode of your favorite Thursday night show, the Five Heart Podcast. Listed among the elite Husker podcasts out there (it’s true...it's damn true)!
But enough about us. You’re here because you love Nebraska football. And if we’re being honest, there is no off-season. We’re in the middle of Spring Practice. This Saturday is the Spring Game, or rather the Husker Games, and the celebration that surrounds it. Greg and Minnie will have a breakdown of the day’s festivities.
Thursday, we hear from Husker Football GM Patrick Stewart, whom we hope has Nebraska’s big-picture gameplan for roster limits, NIL, and more.
But let’s face it...if we said we weren’t here for the Jacob Bower story, I’d be lying. The linebacker from California turned down free education at West Point to walk on at Nebraska and did everything right. Worked hard, improved his craft, and was rewarded with a scholly by Matt Rhule. But with Name-Image-Likeness growing, are these types of stories going to become extinct?
And of course, this show is LIVE during the first round of the NFL Draft. Which Huskers have the greatest chances to hear their names called in the next few days? Will Nebraska have a first-round draft pick? No pressure, Ty Robinson.
We’ll see you tonight at 9pm Central. Don’t miss it. Being a part of the live studio audience gives you the chance to be a part of the show.
Go Big Red. Always.
