Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

We have been building to this moment all summer. Corn Nation founder and heart and soul, Jon “” Johnston!
It’s finally time for our fearless leader to take his place on the Stand, answering the same questions we have posed to our Corn Nation colleagues over the course of the entire series.
Here’s what we learned about Jon:
He is from a small town in Nebraska
He fought in the Korean War at the age of 5
He was the first IT Consultant (probably)
His favorite Husker moment elicited a “WTF” from Hoss
He really does love all of us.
If that’s not enough reason to listen, then know that he also really rips on the Akron Zips (accidental rhyme, I’m keeping it) and he made Hooch laugh so hard he (Hooch, “pronouns, pal”) had to turn down his microphone.
Seriously, Jon is an amazing person and the reason we are all here. So enjoy this amazing episode of the Five Heart Podcast. #GBR

It’s officially Game Week! And while we have some Husker news and notes to discuss, we still have the Cross Examination to continue. It wraps up later this week when Jon Johnston takes the chair, but in Episode 83, Corn Nation veteran Andy Ketterson sits down to be cross examined, and we learn how he moved to Nebraska as a child, went to the University of Nebraska, became a fan, and dare I say, a diehard.

We also have the ability, due to the late hour of our recording, to talk about the news we learned this weekend. Tre Bryant retires from the game he loves. Adrian Martinez is the announced starter for the Akron game. And the depth chart has few surprises.
Husker football is almost upon us. Enjoy it, my friends.
We did have a few issues with internet connection during the recording. Hopefully you’re able to follow along relatively easy. It got better as the show went on.

Happy Sunday and GO BIG RED! Welcome to a brand new episode of the Five Heart Podcast, and thank you for subscribing/listening. This week, Hoss is at his sister’s wedding, because she and her husband had the good sense to get married BEFORE football season. But I digress.
Patrick Gerhart joins Greg Mehochko to talk about Huskers Fan Day as well as Fall practices, and a peek into the 2018 season, from which, thankfully, we’re only two weeks away. Is the starting QB situation becoming clear? How are the offensive and defensive lines looking? And in this episode, the guys don’t hesitate to compare this team to last year, as many of the players are the same.
Troy Walters has a cameo (in that we mention his name a few times) and Mario Verduzco is a legit boss!

Welcome back, everybody. Hoss survived Colorado, and Greg survived another week of doing someone else’s work. This week, the guys are joined by Zach Grunder, a recent UNL graduate who just returned from a well-deserved extended vacation to Europe, where our young colleague toured most of the continent.
Who is Zach?
Well, he’s the swaying gent on the right of this famous Husker GIF.
So the Cross Examination is filled with all the familiar questions. But hey, fall practice has begun! And that means there’s Husker football to discuss. First of all, Hoss is downright tickled that OC Troy Walters defines the team as having that “extra juice” practicing in full pads. And with Maurice Washington eligible and practicing, how is he adapting with a late start?

Hello good people. Hoss is out of town this weekend, so we got together last Sunday night and put a show in the can for you.
Here was Hoss’ suggestion: Let’s ask each other the questions we’ve been asking all of our friends at Corn Nation.
So that’s what we did…we cross examined each other.
There has been a lot going on in Big Ten news this week, but due to our early recording, we’ll have to talk about recent happenings in next week’s show. Because there’s a LOT to discuss. And next week, we’ll know even more than we do today!

In this week’s episode, Patrick Gerhart, another outstanding member of the Corn Nation staff,
 joins Greg for the Cross Examination. If you were hoping to hear the soothing tones of Hoss Reuter, he has some family in town this weekend and therefore was unable to join us.
Since Patrick is one of our Nebrasketball guys, we throw a couple wrinkles into this cross examination. But there is plenty of football talk and great memories shared. And Greg didn’t pass out from the benadryl, so that’s something (as well as a cautionary tale for all of you thinking about taking benadryl like you take ibuprofen).

All right, folks, this is one you have been eager for us to present. He’s known by many names, but on Corn Nation and on Twitter, he’s simply “Salt Creek & Stadium,” or affectionately “Salt” for short. Salt is a Husker fan and friend of the environment!
First things first…we talk about the newest hire for the Nebraska football staff – Ron Brown. What could his return to Lincoln mean for the Huskers and the University?
Then we get to know Salt, and how a Navy kid ended up in Nebraska (the Bay of Omaha is a family joke). When did Salt become a Husker fan? Who’s his favorite Husker and what’s his favorite Husker moment? And how did Salt come to write for Corn Nation?

Welcome to a brand new episode of the Five Heart Podcast. This week’s show is a continuation of the on-going summer series of “get to know your Corn Nation staff,” better and more concisely known as “The Cross Examination.”
Learn about what moment solidified Ty’s Husker fandom. Find out who his favorite Husker of all time is, as well as his favorite Nebraska sports moment. And if you like alcohol (and you should, you listen to this podcast), check out his summer series on Corn Nation about breweries, distilleries, and wineries in The Good Life. Here’s his latest post.
Oh, and Hooch got stuck in an elevator. That’s awesome too.

The Firm is back! Hoss and Hooch resume the cross examination series with Corn Nation’s Rick Cone.
Rick talks about growing up in the Sandhills and Gamedays on the farm. He also talks about his favorite players and tells an amazing story of his favorite Husker sports moment. It’s really incredible.
Rick is, as you are aware, our Director of Recruiting. So we talk about the recruiting trail and some of the players Rick is looking forward to see. We talk about social media and its impact on recruiting. I’m not going to spoil the conversation, but it’s a bit of a consensus that kids will be kids, and if a Tweet that says “blessed to receive an offer from ________” helps raise the profile of a student athlete to the point where they can better their circumstances, so be it.
Oh…spoiler alert.

CLARIFICATION…Hoss hates current Herbie.
It was an accidental conversation that got brought up while we were talking about Hoss’ new hat purchase. “New season. New coach. New hat.” He didn’t get me one…I forgot to even bring that up.
Classic Herbie. That’s Hoss’ bread n butter. We also talk about the Tunnel Walk, throw a shout out to our friends at the Big Red Cobcast, and talk a little recruiting ahead of next week’s episode. Next week, the Firm of Hoss and Hooch returns with a new Cross Examination of our Director of Recruiting, Rick Cone.
