Five Heart Podcast 335: A New Tunnel Walk Song and Huskers Who No Longer Deserve To Be Huskers

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Jon will get caught up on the last few weeks of podcast off-season homework. If you missed those shows, here's a little recap of the assignments:The top former Huskers who no longer qualify for "once a Husker, always a Husker" status. You know what I mean. Either through decisions made on the field or off, they've brought a level of shame and disrespect to themselves and Nebraska. Secondly, we're taking another look at the Tunnelwalk, specifically the song to which our beloved Huskers take the field. The Alan Parsons Project's 'Sirius.' But in a world where Wisconsin jumps around and Virginia Tech welcomes the Sandman, what song options are out there that could fit Nebraska and appease the greatest number of fans?Jon wrote a beautiful country song he shared, entitled "Always Stay Winner, Herbie", which includes this incredible stanza: There's a whisper in the Nebraska breezeReminding me of winningThat whisper buildsThat whisper criesWinning in the morning skies------------The Chatterfields are here bringing these topics and more, but we've made it to July and we're all still alive and drinking various strengths of kool-aid.

Five Heart Podcast 334: Carter Nelson Joins Huskers’ 2024 Commit Class

The Five Heart Live Show was last night at 8 PM. It was told to us last week that Tweedy would not be able to be a regular, because he has a family and they’re awake when he does the show. Who would have thought that he’d rather spend time with his wife and child than with a couple crusty old timers? We will likely be moving the show to 8 PM Central from here on, because it’s much more feasible for us. Nate McHugh from this beloved web site joined us for this episode. If you’ve been living under a rock the past 36 hours, you may not know that Carter Nelson, the tight end from Ainsworth, NE, committed to the Huskers. The top prospect in the state joins the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ranked prospects, and five of the top six. This indicates a shift of priority for Nebraska coaches, or at least a shift in outcome. Maybe the days of losing Nebraska kids to Iowa and Wisconsin are over. We had a lively discussion about recruiting, including Nate pointing out that Rhule’s modus operandi of taking unranked and unknown recruits will be what we’ll be complaining about if Rhule fails as Nebraska’s head coach. (HE WON’T FAIL DAMMIT). There were questions and a discussion about Big Ten expansion - specifically whether or not the Big Ten would add two more Pac 12 schools. We were asked what we thought Nebraska’s record will be after the first three games. There was a lot more, including Nate’s joke of a lifetime about Ndamukong Suh. The comments were great!

Monday Night Therapy: Nebraska Football Recruits and a Volleyball Update!

Nebraska has new football recruits! Bellevue West receivers Dae’Vonn Hall and Isaiah McMorris have chosen to join teammate quarterback Danny Kaelin. Nebraska football added a New Jersey kicker/punter to its 2024 recruiting class as Nico Ottomanelli joined our beloved Huskers as a walk-on. He is the #1 kicker in New Jersey, whatever that means. CornNation’s volleyball writer Beth Merrigan will join us for an update on Nebraska’s most successful sport. The College World Series is finishing up with the title game Monday Night. Former Husker running back Dahrran Diedrick passed away recently at the age of 44.

Five Heart Podcast 333: It’s Raining Committed Cornhuskers!

I don’t know if you are aware, but Matt Rhule and Co. have been busy this month on the recruiting trail, getting started on the Class of ‘24. In this episode, Greg and Jon discuss some of the players who have given verbal commitments to the Huskers thus far. Also, it’s a big night in Omaha as Wake Forest and LSU battle it out in the College World Series, so we’ll see how much Jon actually pays attention to us. As always, your questions and comments. If I had to guess, someone will ask about the curse and someone else will ask for our way-too-early season predictions (12-0, am I right?). But we’re here for it, and we’re here for you. GBR.

Five Heart Podcast 332: Nebraska Really Does Have the Best Fans

Recent findings from a Twitter User indicate that Nebraska Cornhusker athletics from the big three respective male and female sports (two basketballs, football and volleyball, baseball and softball) are the highest national average for attendance.Most loyal and best overall fanbase in the country...that’s us!Also, I’ve been thinking about the Tunnel Walk recently. Alan Parsons Project’s “Sirius” has been the song to which the Huskers take the field since 1994. But did it have to be Sirius? Has anyone ever quoted the Joker in the past 15 years and asked “Why so Sirius?” (The Dark Knight came out in the summer of 2008.)Wisconsin starting jumping around in 1998 and Virginia Tech started bumping the seismometer to Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” in 2000. So why did Nebraska take the Tunnel Walk so Sirius-ly (I regret nothing)? And we’ll jump in our time machines, go back to 1994, and see if there were any other songs better suited for the future national champions. Learn more about your ad choices.

Monday Night Therapy: Come With Your Questions!

It’s friggin’ June! Come with your questions!That and Colorado appears to be headed back to the Big 12 along with Arizona.Nebraska had recruiting visits this past weekend. There’s this: It sounds like 12-14 days of team building! What types of activities do you think would work best for team building while living in a dorm? I asked ChatGPT and this is what that Sly AI came up with: Here are some team building activities you can consider for your dorm:Escape Room Challenge: Create an escape room experience within your dorm. Set up puzzles, riddles, and challenges in different rooms or areas of the dormitory. Split into teams and see which team can solve the puzzles and escape the fastest.
Scavenger Hunt: Organize a dorm-wide scavenger hunt. Create a list of items or clues that participants need to find within the dormitory or on the campus. You can divide into teams and compete to see who can find all the items or complete the hunt first.
DIY Cooking Competition: Host a cooking competition where each team is given a limited budget and ingredients. They must work together to create a unique and delicious dish. Encourage creativity and presentation. Have judges taste the dishes and declare a winner.
Sports Tournament: Organize a sports tournament within the dormitory. Choose popular games like basketball, soccer, or volleyball. Divide into teams and compete against each other. This can be a great way to promote physical activity and teamwork.
Board Game Night: Set aside an evening for board games. Bring in a variety of board games that encourage teamwork and cooperation, such as Pandemic, Codenames, or Settlers of Catan. Divide into small groups and have fun playing together.
Movie Night: Host a movie night in your dorm common area. Let everyone vote on a movie, provide snacks, and encourage discussions and bonding during and after the movie. You can also have a themed movie night, where everyone dresses up as characters from the movie.
Talent Show: Organize a dorm talent show where residents can showcase their skills and talents. It can include singing, dancing, comedy acts, or any other talent. Encourage participation and provide a supportive and fun environment for everyone.
Community Service: Plan a community service project that the whole dorm can participate in. It could be volunteering at a local shelter, organizing a clothing drive, or cleaning up a nearby park. Working together for a common cause can strengthen bonds and foster a sense of community.
