Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

Five Heart Podcast Episode 62: Hooch’s Solo Flight

Due to a scheduling conundrum, you have the joy of listening to I (Greg) bring you the latest in Husker athletic news and notes. We’ll do it up right next week and get more people back on the show, but for a Saturday morning, sometimes one is enough. But fear not, my son pops in a couple times to say hi.
Here are the Husker sports that get mentioned:
Men’s Basketball
Women’s Basketball
Wrestling
Softball
Baseball
Beach Volleyball
I hope to get someone from the Club Hockey program on the show in the near future. If you are involved with that or know someone who is, let me know so I can get that sport on the show.
Next week we’ll talk football, because it seems like it’s been awhile since we’ve done that and I’m sure you’re all itching for it.
The podcast is on Google Play and PodBean, as well as Apple Podcasts and Stitcher as it has been. David even told me that it’s on an app called OverCast, so check it out there if you use that app. More ways to listen. All for your convenience.

Five Heart Podcast Episode 61: Men’s and Women’s #Nebrasketball

Hello again and welcome to a new episode of the Five Heart Podcast. Thank you ALL for downloading our last episode, our Top Five Most Agonizing Football Losses episode.
Some of you didn’t want us trudging up such painful memories. But it was very cathartic, and will a few adult beverages, a lot of fun. It was also our second-most-downloaded show in the history of the Five Heart Podcast. So…no pressure to outdo that one.
This episode features two Corn Nation contributors talking Husker men’s and women’s basketball. Up first is Patrick Gerhart as we complain about the Selection Committee and talk about Nebraska’s game tonight in the NIT against Mississippi State.
Then Jill Heemstra is back to talk about the Husker women and their upcoming game against Arizona State. Find out also why there are Nebraska ties all over the Women’s NCAA Tournament, and we’ll also check in with our neighbors to the north (not Creighton, never Creighton) and see what the Jackrabbits have in store in their quest for a championship.
Plus, there’s this challenge we laid out for our fearless leader:

Five Heart Podcast Episode 60: Top Five Most Agonizing Husker Football Losses

Hello again.
Hoss and Hooch are back with another Top-5 list. Last week we talked about good things. This week…AGONIZING DEFEAT! Relive the dark days (and nights, oh so many nights) of Husker football, but do it with a laugh and, if you’re anything like these two, an alcoholic beverage or two.
Spoiler Alert: We really don’t like losing to ________.

Five Heart Podcast Episode 59: Top 5 Favorite Husker Football Wins

What is your favorite Cornhusker football victory in a non-championship season? Why did I have to get so weirdly specific there? 
Do you have one? Could you come up with a top five? That was the challenge Hoss brought to the Five Heart Podcast this week.
Nothing from 1994, 1995, or 1997.
Believe it or not, it wasn’t extremely difficult coming up with my list. And it was Hoss’ idea, so I’m guessing he already had a few in mind. Remembering specific details or the emotion of a game was easy. Getting into the nitty gritty of what the game meant in the broader picture was fun.
Also, (SPOILER ALERT!!!) Joe Bauserman pass chart!
We also got some input from the CN crew, and encourage you to leave your top 5 in the comments.
GBR and WTDG!

Five Heart Podcast Episode 58: More Hoops Talk with David McGee

You know you’re enjoying this. The Husker Men’s Basketball team finishes the regular season tomorrow at home, with a chance to avenge a loss to a Penn State team playing without one of their star players, in sophomore Mike Watkins.
In this week’s episode, Corn Nation’s David McGee is back to talk about the win over Indiana on Tuesday and to preview the game against the Nittany Lions. The win over the Hoosiers was a great bounce-back after the road loss at Illinois. And a win Sunday would ensure Nebraska stays in the top tier of the Big Ten and solidifies the double-bye for the Big Ten Tournament. And it’s always good to visit with David.

Five Heart Podcast Episode 57: Patrick Gerhart on Nebrasketball

Six in a row. Keep that in mind. There are some men’s basketball teams that don’t win three games in a row. So Nebrasketball’s loss Sunday at Illinois isn’t the end of the world.
But…I live in Illinois. Do you know how many Illini fans are going to greet me by rubbing this win in my face?
None. Because no one cares about Illinois basketball. Illinois basketball is and has been irrelevant for several years.
Wait…that makes it worse.
IT’S NOT THAT BAD! Two regular season games and then the Big Ten Tournament.
This episode, I’m talking with Corn Nation’s Patrick Gerhart about how the Huskers have been playing the last few weeks and what the post-season could look like.

Five Heart Podcast: Putting a Bow on National Signing Day

Well folks, another National Signing Day has come and gone. I know you stayed up to date on all of Wednesday’s happenings with the terrific coverage on CornNation.com. In this week’s episode, a three-way dance (a triple-threat match, if you will) has Hooch and Hoss joined by Corn Nation’s Recruiting Correspondent Rick “Ugly Dog” (his words, not mine) Cone to talk about the young men who decided to wear the N.
From the guys who signed scholarship offers to the largest walk-on class in recent memory, this coaching staff did something really incredible, and they deserve all of the accolades they receive.
You know who else deserves our appreciation? Joe Bauserman. Remember his outing in Nebraska those years back?
Yeah…that got brought up again. Thank you, Stanley Jean-Baptiste.

Five Heart Podcast Episode 55: Husker Women’s Hoops with Jill Heemstra

This is a conversation a little too long in the making. Corn Nation’s Jill Heemstra joins Greg to talk about the Nebraska Women’s Basketball team.
The two cover the transition from Connie Yori to Amy Williams, the departure of Nebraska’s own Jessica Shepard and how it was not only the right move for the young lady, but how it also may have been the best outcome for the Huskers.
How does this squad look heading into the final month of the regular season (16-6 as of this recording, before the Illinois game)? And how did whispers of a post-season appearance in the WNIT transform into talk of a Women’s National Tournament berth? (Spoiler: May have had something to do with three consecutive wins over ranked teams.)

Five Heart Podcast Episode 54: Heart and Beating Iowa

When we publish a new episode on a Monday, you know that the train has essentially jumped the tracks. How and why we ended up recording at about 11:00 on a Sunday night definitely is mentioned. But what wasn’t mentioned was the fact that we should really try to plan better.
BUT TODDLERS DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR PLANS!
Moving on…a new Husker commit sent out an interesting tweet in response to “keyboard tough guys” (my word, not that of Cam Jones, a new commit at Safety who, according to Hoss, could transition to linebacker if necessary). He’s a big body, physical playmaker. But less about that and more about the tweet…copied and pasted here.
Y'all get so caught up in stars its crazy u get a 5th star if u basically camp all summer n hype yo self lol going for 5 stars is probably why Nebraska wasn't Nebraska anymore u gotta get dawgs not stars lol film is wa u gotta look for man
— CAM JONES (@camgonework15) January 28, 2018
It hearkens back to why Brian and I named this show the Five Heart Podcast in the first place. “Stars” and ratings don’t tell the whole store.
Moving on…
It was a successful weekend for Husker Basketball, as the men and women both took care of #EvilIowa. And the Husker Wrestling team celebrated Senior Day with a win on Sunday at the Devany Center.
But we all know why you’re really here…to hear how Hoss would book a Wrestlemania Main Event if he could. But you have to stick around to the end for that gem.
Have a great week, everyone. GBR! WTDO!

Five Heart Podcast Episode 53: How to Date in 20-1-8

Hoss and Hooch are back in an all-new episode. Now don’t let the name fool you. The guys are talking a myriad of topics this week, including the cold winter weather’s effects on every day life like work and gym habits. Fellas, what length shorts do you like to wear to the gym? Did you know what one of the guys on this show is a short-shorts type of guy? And what role did short shorts play in Nebraska basketball’s twenty-point win over #23 Michigan?
The guys also question why baseball coaches still wear uniforms like they’re about to take the field to play and wonder if/when the manager’s attire will evolve.
And not to bury the lede, but since one of the guys is single, we do discuss dating in modern times. Things used to be so much simpler.
