Five Heart Podcast Episode 198: Last Episode of the Off-Season

It’s been a long 10.5 months. With no Spring Ball to pacify us, no traditional summer or fall camp, no Fan Day 2020, this has been the longest and most bizarre off-season ever in Nebraska football History.And next week we are fully in in-season mode when the Huskers will be in action in Columbus, Ohio to take on those rat known as the Buckeyes.But this week, we get one more off-season conversation.And we’re joined by a special guest. Jon invited his very own “Rotten Son” to join us. It’s mayhem, actually, as Rotten Son earned that name by going to Minnesota and not Nebraska. Hear in his own words why he chose to be a Gopher instead of a Husker.There’s also a little recruiting update with Akelo Roberts and some hoops talk with Kevin Knight. Don’t you dare call the Golden Circle coming to Nebraska an “MTE,” dammit. It’s a tournament all the way!Todd is also in, sharing wisdom one can dispense only after having destroyed a liver.Be sure to “Use Your Voice” and became a part of the show by calling (402) 327-1830.

Kevin and Patrick are back at it again with another episode this week. As Ferris once wisely told us: “life comes at you pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” Well, a lot sure has happened since our last episode and we finally had a moment to sit down together and go over it for you all.Among the first topics, we talk about the importance of McGowens receiving a waiver from the NCAA. Then we transition to a few notable recruiting updates, including the family affair matters of the McGowen family.Next up is our look at the “Golden Window” tournament announced this week. We take a look at the announced participants, who we think might still join as participants, and the unique opportunity 2020 presented for Nebrasketball to pull this off. Finally we wrap up with a quick look at the ACC-Big Ten Challenge and talk about who we would prefer the Cornhuskers host in Lincoln this season.Please Subscribe!Be sure to download and subscribe to our podcast on whatever platform you prefer (that way you won’t miss next week’s very special episode), 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 197: Laughing at Teams Actually Playing Football

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Jon, Greg, Todd, and Nate take a few jabs at the likes of Oklahoma and Florida State because one is not good and the other is absolute garbage.Also, for “Run The Ball” Guy, we discuss if you’d be willing to trade the traditional Nebraska running game (which we haven’t seen for awhile anyway) for marks in the win column. It’s a no-brainer, but for some reason, every year, we still have “Run the Ball” Guy.Also, the guys talk about a recent press conference where Coach Mario Verduzco said, in regards to the quarterback battle, that “the best quarterback will play.” So the debate went on as to how long of a leash a starter would receive and if there are different sets of rules for Ohio State versus, say, a Northwestern.Be sure to “Use Your Voice” and became a part of the show by calling (402) 327-1830.

Five Heart Podcast Episode 196: Bowl Games and Antigen Tests

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg, Jon, and Todd discuss a new edict from the Big Ten which limits antigen testing and prohibits the purchase of more. Is this a neutering of Nebraska’s large roster? I mean, obviously.And Greg feels that the bowl season is too bloated, causing many sub-par teams to be selected to fill sub-par bowl games. Is a shortened season a good way to eliminate the mediocrity of college football for three weeks in December?Also, if you’re a student athlete at Nebraska, red is probably one of your favorite colors, right?Be sure to “Use Your Voice” and became a part of the show by calling (402) 327-1830.
