Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

Monday Night Therapy: Nebraska Football Recruiting, EA Sports CFB25 Rankings, & Big Ten Talk

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.

Five Heart Podcast: Top Husker Plays, Fan Memories, and Fireworks

In this lively episode of the Five Heart Podcast, host Minnie kicks off the show solo while Greg arrives fashionably late. With help from Husker Chuck and several other Holgor-Maniacs, the gang dives into a Mount Rushmore of the most iconic plays in Nebraska football—at least within each fan’s era of fandom.
Husker Chuck recalls Corey Schlesinger’s second touchdown in the 1995 Orange Bowl, Alex Henery’s 57-yard field goal in 2008, and even a bone-jarring hit in the 1978 win over Oklahoma. James and Joe submit their picks, including Johnny Rodgers’ 1971 punt return, the “Flea Kicker,” the “Fumblerooski,” and Levante David’s strip of Braxton Miller.
Greg reveals his personal top four, which includes Tommy Hill’s 2023 pick-six against Colorado. Minnie, proudly representing newer fans, lists more emotional moments like the red-light show at Memorial Stadium and Dylan Raiola’s commitment.
The show blends humor, Husker nostalgia, and strong community vibes. Fans relive great moments while good-naturedly teasing Minnie for her unconventional picks—especially when she lists “fireworks” as a favorite play. Up next week: Boneheaded Husker plays.

Monday Night Therapy: Husker Football Recruiting Boost and 2025 Preview: Cupcakes or Contenders?

In this episode of Monday Night Therapy, host Minnie Hunt welcomes longtime Husker fan Fred for a lively discussion on Nebraska football. Fred shows off his vintage 2000 Husker Adidas polo as the duo dives into Nebraska’s recent recruiting wins, including a big commitment from cornerback Danny Odom. They note the team’s class ranking improvement from No. 74 to No. 61 nationally, with potential to break into the top 25.
Minnie and Fred preview the first three games of the season—Cincinnati, Akron, and Houston Christian—debating whether they count as “cupcake” games. They agree Houston Christian is the weakest of the three, while Cincinnati, despite a 5–7 season and recent practice facility upgrades, presents the biggest challenge, especially with former Indiana QB Brendan Sorsby under center and a standout defensive tackle nicknamed “The Godfather.”
The episode also features lively banter with the chat, special guest appearances from Husker fans, predictions of Nebraska wins over Michigan and USC, and plenty of humor—including jabs at P.J. Fleck’s wardrobe, references to “skinny fat” players, and wine pairings for night games.
Overall, the tone is optimistic yet grounded, with Fred and Minnie agreeing: this Nebraska team looks ready to take a step forward. Go Big Red!

Tight end prospect Luke Sorensen’s visit to Nebraska also generated buzz, along with possibilities of the Huskers flipping Syracuse commits. The show reflects on O-line development, with optimism for Justin Evans and Grant Brix.
The conversation takes a fun, off-topic detour into Midwestern stereotypes and “You might be from the Midwest if…” jokes, led by Minnie, at Greg’s expense. Greg also shares a heartfelt Father’s Day moment and shows off a personalized Funko Pop gift. Wrapping up, Greg croons a birthday serenade to Melissa, much to everyone’s amusement.
As always, the podcast combines serious football talk with humor and community interaction. Fans are invited to send in their “Mount Rushmore of Husker Plays” for next week’s episode.
