Of Bangarangs & Daggers Episode 39: Nebraska Almost Upsets No. 9 Ranked Maryland

Hey yo! Fellow Bangs and Dags!In the 39th episode of the podcast we talk about what growth we have seen from this Nebraska basketball squad. What can we finally hang our hat on?Then we turn to the 3,000 point loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes. Well I guess it wasn’t THAT bad, but it sure felt like it. Well it definitely looked like it.After Iowa we talk about the 2 point loss to the 9th ranked team in the country.However, after everything we talked about I wanted to share with those of you one of my favorite (I think postgame) speeches I’ve ever heard that we referenced during the podcast.Be sure to download and subscribe to our podcast on whatever platform you prefer, and you’ll also get all of the other great, but not quite as great, Corn Nation Radio podcasts as well.

Five Heart Podcast Episode 163: Recruiting with Akelo Roberts

This past Wednesday was National Signing Day...or it would have been, had it not been for those meddling kids.Sorry, I’ve been watching a ton of Scooby Doo with my son.The arrival of the “Early Signing Day” in December has pretty much negated the excitement of the first Wednesday in February. And since Scott Frost and Co. had such a terrific December, there wasn’t much for Corn Nation to discuss.But did that stop us? I don’t think so.In this episode, we are joined by Akelo Roberts, aka FloridaHusker, who lends some insight into both the Huskers’ recruiting class and the recruiting process from a player’s perspective. And what needs/targets do the Huskers have in the Class of 2021?Be sure to “Use Your Voice” and became a part of the show by calling (402) 327-1830.

Five Heart Podcast episode 162: Corn Nation Q&A with Bri Clark

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Jon are joined by one of Corn Nation’s newer contributors, Bri Clark. Bri is a grade school teacher, and that makes some of Greg’s foul language a little awkward. A NE Nebraska native, Bri has fond memories of listening to Husker games on the radio, going to Memorial Stadium as a Husker student, and doesn’t mention Rex Burkhead as a favorite Husker (though she says later she forgot about him). We talk about roster and coaching staff changes. And farm animals. Be sure to “Use Your Voice” and became a part of the show by calling (402) 327-1830.

Of Bangarangs & Daggers Episode 37: The Hopelessness of Defeat

Kevin and Nate are back with another episode as we remember Kobe Bryant and their favorite on-court memory happens to coincide that it’s the 2004 Detroit Pistons narrowly missing making it a sweep over the LA Lakers for the NBA title.But alas, tragic loss of life too early is always sad to witness, and we hope you all can use this opportunity to enjoy extra special moments with your loved ones as we are reminded how precious and short our time together can be.And with that, it was onto the most recent games since our last episode. Nate and Kevin remark on how the Rutgers Scarlet Knights are actually a pretty great team this season and how the Huskers gave it a fight. Kevin goes on a diatribe at Nate’s encouragement explaining in some (but no, not actually all detail) why he loathes Michigan with every fiber of his being. Some venting about how those arrogant jerks just don’t let reality sink into that smug superiority they surround themselves with ensues.A brief glance at the upcoming schedule of games and the lack of predictability both this team and the conference slate offers wraps this episode up. Oh, and one team in particular took a real punch to the groin in their depth chart. Tune in to find out who, and why!Be sure to download and subscribe to our podcast on whatever platform you prefer, and you’ll also get all of the other great, but not quite as great, Corn Nation Radio podcasts as well.

Five Heart Podcast Episode 161: Nebraska NIL and Car Stories

Jon had a near-miss on his morning commute this week. Greg’s work truck is a barely-functioning POS.

Now one Nebraska State Senator is introducing legislation for student athletes to receive compensation.The Nebraska Men’s Basketball team (and the women’s, presumably, right Jill?) is in action in some big match-ups in the next week, with a road trip to Rutgers on Saturday and a home game against Michigan Tuesday on ESPNU.And we love you and hope you enjoy the show.Be sure to “Use Your Voice” and became a part of the show by calling (402) 327-1830.
