Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

It’s a state law, a media regulation, that every offseason, typically in May or June, that we must discuss the end of the Nebraska football sellout streak. Therefore, here is your 2021 Nebraska Football Sellout Streak might end video.It’s not looking that good right now, after talking to some people who buy season tickets. There are a lot of reasons for that, and I try to cover them in the video. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Name, Image, and Likeness - NIL - goes into effect TODAY. This is one of the biggest developments in college athletics, EVER. CAPITAL LETTERS EVERYWHERE! I got the chance to interview Boost Mobile’s CEO Stephen Stokols about NIL. Boost Mobile is sponsoring Hanna and Haley Cavinder, twin guards on the Fresno State women’s basketball team. The Cavinder twins have one of the biggest social media followings of any current NCAA athletes as between them, they have over 5 million total followers across Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. NIL will be interesting because it may benefit small business more than it will massive companies like Verizon, Nike, etc. College athletics is very regional in nature. A local bakery shop could get more mileage out of sponsoring a local college basketball player because that player wouldn’t even show up on a large company’s radar. We talk about some of these issues in the interview. Mr. Stokols talks very fast. There is a LOT going on, and there will be an explosion of announcements about this over the next few days. One point of confusion. We kind of go back and forth about today or tomorrow. I say “Today” because the content wouldn’t be released until Thursday. He says “tomorrow” because he thinks I’m putting something out immediately. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Then Luke’s overachieving brother took at shot at Scott Frost when Frost was talking about bad advice, not Luke McCaffrey.I got in on it with a really mean tweet, honestly, because I thought Christian McAffrey’s tweet was stupid. STUPID.Dylan McCaffrey transferred from Michigan to Northern Colorado to play football. Luke McCaffrey went from Nebraska to Louisville to Rice, a place known for great pitching, or at least it used to be.Sensitive much, McCaffrey brothers? Learn more about your ad choices.

Many of you likely remember former Nebraska Cornhuskers beat writer Christopher Heady from his days with the Omaha World Herald. The secret Kansan spy spent a number of years following the inside action at the Hendrix Training Complex and Pinnacle Bank Arena during the end of the Tim Miles era and start of the Fred Hoiberg era. That unique perspective gave him an interesting look at how two very different coaching era were in Lincoln.Luckily for our listeners, Chris was generous enough to give us his time and talk about some of the contrasts between the coaching regimes and the overall picture of where basketball stands in his mind among the Husker fanbase. Did the athletic administration care about basketball before Hoiberg? Did fans? Do facilities actually matter?What about after Hoiberg’s hire? How significant was the hiring by Nebraska in contrast to previous hires or even at other Power Six programs? How much did support from the athletic administration change overnight? What went wrong in the first two seasons and where are things heading from here? Also, is Ohio State a “basketball school”? What about Michigan?If you haven’t gotten the picture by now, this was an all encompassing episode and listeners won’t want to miss a second of it!

Heyoooo. Todd leads the Five Heart podcast this week. I join him.We talk for a bit about the anniversary of George Floyd’s murder and what changes it may bring. If you think we should stick to sports, sorry, not sorry.Todd reveals that an athlete he coached was inducted into the Iowa Hall of Fame recently. That is pretty cool.Todd and I discuss:Nebraska baseball winning the Big Ten conference after being picked eighth. Why were they picked eighth? How far can they go in the NCAA? Will they beat Michigan?
The tweet below has since been deleted. Here’s a partial screenshot. The tweet is regarding that Kevin Warren thought the letter last year to the Big Ten from Ohio State parents about canceling football season was made up.
This leads us to a discussion as to whether or not Warren should keep his job. Are we being fair to him? Wasn’t it hard to lead during this pandemic? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On this very special episode of the Five Heart Podcast, HOSS FREAKIN' REUTER IS BACK! He's taken some time away from the show because he's in a Masters program. But he took a little time to talk with me about some of the mental obstacles that have plagued the Huskers in the last, say...20 years.That's right, 20. November 23, 2001, to be exact. The date that, according to Hoss, stripped away any and all mystique around the Husker football program. Since then, Hoss claims, the Huskers have had a self-efficacy deficit.What does that mean? We find out. And we learn about proximal goals ("aim small, miss small"), and two words that Hoss has been harping on for so long that we almost put it on a t-shirt...incremental improvement.This is a solid episode and we hope to have more Hoss going forward, at least as his schedule will allow.
