Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

Five Heart Podcast 324: Husker Spring Game, Baseball Sweeps Northwestern

The Tuesday game against Creighton was suspended due to weather. Stupid weather. Stupid siding on my house that ended up in the yard after storms. But I digress. And we were excited to be joined by Aaron (a Corn Nation baseball beat writer AND semi-regular Chatterfield), who talked about the the sweep of Northwestern and when Nebraska and Creighton will finish game two of their season series. Also, there’s a little bit of a “state of the union” with the Husker baseball team. And wouldn’t you know...the Nebraska Spring Game is Saturday. Among the topics involved are the return of two legends: Frank Solich and THE Herbie Husker. We also talk about what we plan to see and what we hope to see from Matt Rhule’s first Red-White Game. Rhule has said he wouldn’t hold anything back in the four-quarter, 60-minute showcase.There better be a fullback. And Jon, Greg, and Aaron have some generational differences in the definition of a particular phrase, which leads to some unintended hilarity. Learn more about your ad choices.

Monday Night Therapy: Nebraska Baseball, Bowling, and Football Updates

I begin by talking about something most of you don’t care about - the NCAA Hockey national title game between Minnesota and Quinnipiac. Minnesota had the title in their hands and lost it 10 seconds into OT.It was truly a shock for the Gophers, and it lead into a conversation the Big Ten has with winning national titles.

Five Heart Podcast 322: Matt Rhule, Confidence, And Bryce Benhart in the NFL - Nebraska Football Spring Practice

The first part of this show is Jon talking about cybersecurity because he’s spent most of this week trying to clean up and recover a hacked system. Greg asks, “Why do people hack into [systems]” and I give a fairly detailed explanation of why this happens, along with some examples where bad guys have stolen identities, compromised people, and stolen money. When you get past that, we start talking about the most important thing Matt Rhule has said yet this spring, which is: Bryce Benhart as a NFL tackle? I would love to see that. There’s some banter about the national championship basketball games, and then our surprise guest shows up about 40 minutes into the show. Ryan Tweedy joins us and will continue to join us as he can, so he’ll be a new addition to the Five Heart Podcast. We will be moving the show to start at 9:00 pm central as Tweedy lives on the West Coast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Monday Night Therapy: Caitlin vs Angel, Matt Rhule Taking Over Nebraska And Participation Trophies

There’s been a whole lot that happened in the past couple days. The national title game between Iowa and LSU exploded in a discussion about sportsmanship, classlessness, and taunting, as two young women - Iowa’s Caitlin Clark and LSU’s Angel Rose - exhibited behavior that made everyone else go insane. The officiating was bad! Kim Mulkey was on the floor and grabbed an official, but didn’t get a T! Todd and I have a long discussion about sportsmanship, taunting, and that damned Keith Duncan. Remember Keith Duncan? Remember how he taunted Nebraska fans with an “after the game” celebration? Matt Rhule is taking over Nebraska. Here he is at a hockey game. The hockey people were very impressed with his graciousness. He is doing everything right! Nebraska picked up a new 2024 recruit - Gibson Pyle - offensive lineman from Texas. Nebraska wrestler Peyton Robb - fighting a very serious illness. He easily could have died, but it appears he’s out of the hospital now. Todd and I discussed Frank Solich returning for the Nebraska spring game. Jill Biden comes up with a really dumb idea, one you’d expect from Jill Biden. The athletic department’s posting of 402 Day spurred a lot of amazingly silly remarks on social media. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Five Heart Podcast 321: Frank Solich Returns To Break The Curse!

After a week off because Jon didn’t know what do with Greg on vacation...WE’RE BACK! Spring football is going with a few practices a week, so we get caught up on all the happenings from Matt Rhule’s first off-season at the helm of Nebraska football. One of the biggest announcements recently - Frank Solich is set to return to Nebraska and be honored at the 2023 Spring Game! There is plenty of talk about how having Frank invited back and how that will “break the curse” that’s surrounded Nebraska football the past 20 years. We devote a fair amount of time to this topic - whether there’s an actual curse, and what it really means that Frank is returning to Nebraska. We discussed Nebraska’s new offense, and our offensive line in particular. Our commenters were heavily involved in our show, with plenty of questions, so much that Greg started calling them “Chatterfields”, a play on our new offensive coordinator Marcus Satterfield.

Monday Night Therapy: Nebraska Spring Football, Baseball, And The Civil War With Creighton

Todd and I discuss: The civil war between Nebraska and Creighton fans on twitter. If I were a smart guy, I would gather them up and do an article. We had a discussion about whether or not that foul should have been called. Nebraska had a big recruiting weekend! The biggest ever! Dylan Raiola went to the baseball game Todd was at and lead a “Go Big Red” cheer!Nebraska baseball won their conference opening series against Illinois! Then I make a joke about Nebraska having the most religious team in the Big Ten because we sure don’t want to play on Sunday. Todd and I are going to the spring game. We’ll figure out a place where everyone can meet up. And I go on a bit of a rant as to why the Nebraska spring game is so special. HEY GUESS WHAT! Texas lost on the same day as Creighton! WoooooO!

Five Heart Podcast 320: Why Doesn’t Nebraska Have A Female Mascot?

Greg and I got together for an episode in which we covered a lot of Husker sports.The Nebraska MBB didn’t get invited to the NIT, which was a disappointment, especially since it was likely the Minnesota loss that cost them an invite. We had a discussion about the future of Nebrasketball and whether or not Nebraska fans actually care about MBB.Nebraska WBB - Is Amy Williams the right coach for our Huskers?Baseball - swept Illinois State in convincing fashion then lost to Omaha. WTF?The NCAA Wrestling tournament is underway and our beloved Huskers are doing well, although will they do well enough to get a trophy?Nebraska’s team workouts - does this really work with team building?Somehow we got onto mascots. Greg compares Purdue Pete with whatever the the Pittsburgh Steelers mascot is (that is equally terrifying), and the discussion heads towards Nebraska mascots.Which leads me to ask?WHY DOESN’T NEBRASKA HAVE A FEMALE MASCOT?Nebraska women kick . They’re tough, they’re smart, and they can probably beat the out of you in a heart beat. Why not a female mascot?They could pattern a mascot after Michaela Foecke when she had “murder in her eyes” while playing volleyball.Tell me what’s wrong with this idea?There’s discussion of the massive recruiting class weekend coming up for football. It is the greatest recruiting weekend in Nebraska since after Pearl Harbor. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Five Heart Podcast 319: Baptism By Fire

Wednesday, March 8, 2023. What a night to go LIVE for a Five Heart podcast. But look at it this way, there’s still Big Ten basketball. The world isn’t shutting down. Why are these statements relevant? The last time we recorded a Five Heart Podcast while the Nebraska Men’s Basketball team was playing on the first night of the Big Ten Tournament was Wednesday, March 11, 2020, and the Nebraska/Indiana game was the last game played in the tournament before sports ended for months due to the Covid 19 pandemic.So we avoided that mess again. But we have completely different “situations” in this episode. For starters, Greg’s connection was all out of whack at the beginning, so the show doesn’t really even start until about three minutes in. But don’t worry, the first three minutes are wholly entertaining.And also - Jon gives the show a really rousing fifteen minutes...the fifteen minutes of halftime in Nebrasketball’s unfortunate loss to Minnesota. The guys talk about that game and the season, as well as:Nebraska Baseball
Women’s Basketball
Matt Rhule
Former HCSF
Blaine being gone from Nebraska since 1959
Greg’s beer selection
CornDawgs
Jon’s imminent frustration over Nebrasketball
Stupid Iowa
Dylan Raiola
