Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

Audible Called and No Guest or Jon Tonight - Lots of Various Husker Football Topics Instead

Tonight, I’ll be talking to my friend Ramzey Nazrallah. He is the publisher of Eleven Warriors.com, a very large Ohio State site, and he knows everything about the Ohio State Buckeyes.
The Buckeyes this year are poised to be a contender for the national title and win the Big Ten conference.
So let’s learn about the Buckeyes.
Who amongst the 18 five-star quarterbacks will be the starter?
Who are the great offensive players that we need to know about?
What does Ramsey think of the expanded new Big Ten and what is he most excited about?
Oregon joins the Big Ten, poised to begin at the top. What do Ohio State fans think of Oregon as a football team and as a potential new rival?
And what about Michigan????!!!! There’s a new coach, there’s a new Netflix documentary coming out about “SIGN STEALING”.
So much going on!
All these questions and more!!!!
—————————
Well, things got weird. Jon didn’t have power tonight and largely no internet outside of his phone. So the audible was called and Greg did a one-man show tonight with the benefit of the comment section feeding him content.
Case in point - this hype video that Linda shared. Linda also had some R-rated thoughts for the guys watching this video.

Corn Nation Overreaction Revisits the 13-10 “L” to Maryland

This week on Overreaction Revisited, Hoss and Greg return to that fateful day, November 11, when the Maryland Terrapins invaded Memorial Stadium and left with a 13-10 win.
It may have been the most devastating loss of the season.
Nothing, absolutely nothing, went well for the Huskers. Three quarterbacks managed a measly 86 yards while throwing a combined four interceptions. Add in a lost fumble and it was not a good day for the offense.
Hell, two punts went further than ten receptions.
Javin Wright put on a performance, with eight tackles, a forced fumble, and an interception. But as we said a lot during 2023, the defense deserved better.
Thing get better. I mean, not in 2023, but 2024 sure looks promising.
GBR...always.

ALL THE RIGHT MOVIES -The Corn Nation Sports Movie Show: Kicking Off Tonight? THE WATERBOY

What are ya? St-st-st-STOOPID? NCAA 2025 is in mid-release, so tonight we’ll examine the timeless classic of Bobby Boucher and friends playin’ that foosball.
Sorry for the slightly late notice, but here it is anyway! Join me at 8pm CST tonight for All the Right Movies and a review of The Waterboy which was a massive hit for Adam Sandler and company.
Reviled by critics and beloved by audiences, The Waterboy threw everything against the wall and most of it stuck leaving audiences with huge smiles. The characters ranged from the crazy weird like Farmer Fran and Colonel Sanders to real life sports figures such as Bill Cowher, Jimmy Johnson, Dan Patrick, Dan Fouts and Brent Musberger.

Corn Nation Overreaction Revisited: That Time Hoss went to East Lansing and Hated It

This week on Corn Nation’s Overreaction Revisited podcast, Greg and Hoss go back to October of 2023 and Nebraska’s road loss to Michigan State. 
Hear Hoss rip apart East Lansing and the surrounding areas, as well as his take on Spartan Stadium. 
As a reminder in this game, and most of the troubles of the ‘23 campaign, turnovers played a decisive part in the outcome. 
But that Comfort Inn and Suites leaves a lot to be desired. 

Five Heart Podcast 387: Why It’s All Texas’ Fault (and other Husker Topics)

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, we are thrilled to be joined (if even for a brief time) by Hoss Reuter. Hoss will break down for us why schools like Cal ended up in the ACC and why Rutgers has Big Ten conference games against three (3) West Coast teams. 
After some speculation, Nebraska has a new defensive backs coach. What do we know about John Butler? 
You have the opportunity to support current and future Huskers if you attend a night practice. We’ll have the details and discuss if that’s something anyone should want to do. 
Besides all that, I’m putting this together even hours before showtime so I’m sure I’m missing something. C’est la vie. 
And GBR. 

ALL THE RIGHT MOVIES - The Corn Nation Sports Movie Show: Next Up - THE KARATE KID

Wax on, wax off. Sweep the leg. Get him a body bag, yeaaahhh. You beginner luck. Your mommy isn’t here to dress you?? You’re damn right it’s time for The Karate Kid.
“We make sacred pact. I promise teach karate to you, you promise learn. I say, you do, no questions.”
And with that, a Rocky-esque story about an annoying skinny punk from New Jersey who hits the ground in SoCal running - well, mostly into fists, feet and the ground - begins its training mode as a wise, old Okinanwan teaches him karate. After entering him in a karate tournament to save him beatings.
The Karate Kid is next up on All The Right Movies and, like Rocky, it’s effects are still being felt generations after its release. To give that perspective, Season 6 of Cobra Kai is being released on July 18th not quite a month after the 40-year anniversary of Kid’s original release.
And remember - man who catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything.

Monday Night Therapy: Talking about Nebraska’s Offensive Line

I am back from my Canadian fishing trip and this week it’s time to start talking about the 2024 Nebraska football season.
We’re going to begin with the offensive line because that’s where everything begins. The game is won, the game is lost on the strength of the offensive line and Nebraska’s offensive line hasn’t been very good for a very long time.
One thing to note from last year that’s changed. This year there’s been no talk of Donovan Raiola being a weak link on the coaching staff. There’s been no talk of him at all.
Whereas last year we thought that he would be a terrible coach in addition to the new staff. That’s proven so far to be wrong.
Nebraska has a very experienced offensive line going into this season. Bryce Benhart has 41 starts, which ties the all-time record for offensive line starts before the season even begins.

Five Heart Podcast 386: Huskers Beef Up Offensive Line, Our Favorite Uniforms

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie discuss the latest players who committed to play for the Huskers, wo offensive linemen, including a center. Matt Rhule and his staff are doing great things on the recruiting trail. 
Also, since it’s July and we’re looking for things to discuss, we’re going through the 133 years of Nebraska football and examining our Top 5 football uniforms. 
And last but not least, it’s a party! America had a birthday, obviously. But July 5 is Greg’s birthday as well as Chatterfield charter-member Jason. And we’re going to celebrate, BYOB-style. 

Corn Nation Overreaction Revisits the Final Win of the 2023 Husker Football Season...Purdue

This week on the Overreaction Revisited Podcast, Hoss and Greg discuss the Nebraska-Purdue game from October 28, 2023.
Hoss states that “weird things happen around Halloween.” That is what turned a 24-0 lead into a 24-14 lead and gave the Boilermakers a little hope late in the game.
While the offense was sharp for three quarters, fatigue had to have set in and mistakes were made in the fourth frame. Purdue scored all of their points off of turnovers, making the score closer than it seemed and the defensive effort lesser.
The Blackshirts held the Boilermakers to under 200 yards of total offense, and as Hoss put it, despite the end-of-game weariness, it was perhaps the most complete game of the season.
