Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

Jon & Todd’s Monday Night Therapy: Nebraska Loss To Wisconsin And A New Coach Awaits!

Jon & Todd are back for the Monday Night session.We begin by discussing the unbelievably disappointing loss to the Wisconsin Badgers. The good news is the season is almost over.I surprised Todd with a discussion topic concerning the dichotomy of how people feel about CEOs getting paid tons of money versus fans wanting colleges to throw tons of money at any coach to make sure they get the guy they want. I’ve always felt this was a little weird.We spent most of this show taking comments from fans. There was much “new coach” talk, with Todd and I discussing names like Luke Fickell, Chris Klieman, Lance Leipold, Deion Sanders.Someone asked about the men’s basketball team. I watched part of the first half against Arkansas Pine Bluff. Nebraska was down at half, 39-36, so I didn’t watch the second half. My rotten son informed me that Arkansas Pine Bluff had a Kenpom rating of around 350, so I just felt bad about myself and missed our beloved Huskers coming together and blowing out their opponent.Advice on men’s basketball? Take it one game at a time.Fans want to know when Nebraska will announce the new coach. I’d say probably next Sunday or Monday. Keep in mind our next coach is likely still coaching another team.Iowa Coming Up - are they beatable?Yes. The key is not making mistakes, but forcing them to make them. It’d be nice to end the season on a high note. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Five Heart Podcast 302: A Bowl Game Is Still on the Table

On a brand new Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Jon briefly recap the L in Michigan.They’ll talk about the upcoming game against Wisconsin and how to avoid losing the last two of the season and finishing 3-9 in back to back seasons. Think about it...5-7 and limping into a bowl game is still a possibility.Mostly, at least based on recent live shows, the conversation will likely revolve around the general state of the program and the ongoing coaching search as it enters its tenth week (you read that right). And we’ll answer Jon’s question:Are we as a fanbase being held hostage? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It doesn’t look like it will be a pretty game.We had a fair amount of viewers and they were very active with their questions and comments, so a good part of the show was spent discussing the current status of the Nebraska coach search, where the problems lie with the football team, and then we did predictions. Yes, predictions. There were a lot of ugly predictions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Jon & Todd’s Monday Night Therapy: Alas Poor Yorick, It’s a Tragedy

Todd and I get together, and I am shocked to find out he doesn’t know the line, “Alas, poor Yorick.

Five Heart Podcast 300: The One Where We Accidentally Left Jon By Himself

Oof! Did I ever drop the ball on this one or what? I don’t know how Jon covered for my absence, but I guarantee you whatever he said was cooler than what actually happened. So first I want to apologize to you all for missing the show. Hoss had a good reason for not being there - as he has been in “job interview prep mode” all week and we didn’t want to ruin his concentration. We truly wish him all the best in his interviews as he goes to put that Masters Degree to use. Now...Nebraska hosts #17 Illinois on Saturday. Chase Brown is the country’s top rusher. And Bert has the Illini playing their best football in over a decade. What are the odds the Defense can get the stops when they need to? Has Mickey Joseph adjusted the front five to put an offensive line out there that doesn’t operate like a sieve? I’m really excited to join you in listening to this episode, and my deepest regrets to my wingman for not being there last night. -Greg Learn more about your ad choices.
