Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

In this lighthearted and laughter-filled episode of the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie celebrate a trio of birthdays: Minnie’s middle daughter who turned 13, America’s birthday, and Greg’s upcoming birthday—all while embracing the off-season Husker vibes. The crew dives deep into a uniquely Husker tradition: reliving bonehead plays that, in hindsight, no longer hurt. From Scott Frost’s infamous onside kick call in Ireland to Jake Cotton’s slow-motion false start and the 2021 punt to the wrong side of the field, they revel in shared suffering with the chat. A surprise highlight of the night is the debut of a patriotic-themed Five Heart Theatre sketch featuring “Uncle Sam” (Minnie) and “Coach Tom Osborne” (Greg), which earns rave reviews from the live audience. The duo also celebrates a growing 2025 recruiting class, notably recent WR and OL commits, and debates when Nebraska might contend for a Big Ten title again—settling on 2026 or 2027. Amid sips of beer, chat antics, and birthday gifts, the show is a blend of nostalgia, optimism, and a rallying cry to keep believing. As Minnie puts it: “We’re moving forward.” And Greg? He’s just hoping we all remember that five heart is all the heart you need.

It’s that loveably goofy story of Shane Falco and his band of scab misfits who win the hearts of local fans during a player strike. Because that always happens. It’s time to take a deep dive at a picture starring an actor best known for playing former Ohio State [https://www.landgrantholyland.com/] quarterbacks who are dealing with the next stage of their lives after taking the Buckeyes to a New Years Day bowl game. That’s right! It’s Keanu Reeves, this time in The Replacements as Shane Falco, whose disastrous Sugar Bowl [http://www.sbnation.com/sugar-bowl] performance led him to a life scrubbing barnacles off boats instead of NFL glory. Could one bad game cause a player to go from surefire draft pick to not even being signed as a free agent? I mean, even Shedeur went in the 5th round after telling GM’s to get out of his way and let him run the franchise.  It doesn’t matter. In this weird universe, the players are going to strike and the fans are ready to embrace scab ball and they need a hero who says “Whoa”. So join us tonight as we review an American classic with an American hero in The Replacements. And remember to jump into comments to participate even it’s just to sound off with a Go Big Red to let us know you’re there.

On this lively episode of Monday Night Therapy, host Minnie Hunt opened by discussing her growing YouTube presence and shared excitement about launching a new Sunday night show on broader college football. She reviewed Nebraska’s latest 2026 offensive line commitments, including four-star Claude Mpuma from Illinois and three-star Leon Noyle Jr. from Louisiana, prompting conversation around roster limits and the transfer portal. Minnie welcomed regulars like Husker Chuck and Fred, while Connor joined from his new Scottsdale studio to debate Nebraska’s EA Sports CFB25 top player ratings and projected win totals. Connor predicted losses to Minnesota and Penn State, while Minnie and Greg leaned more optimistic, emphasizing Dana Holgorsen’s potential to revamp the Husker offense. They also discussed upcoming games, ticket-buying strategies, personal memorabilia collections (like a framed Pat White photo and vintage ticket stubs), and Nebraska’s red end zones debuting both in real life and in the game. A musical interlude featured a fan-made Bob Devaney tribute song from Poly Jam, which elicited both admiration and laughter. As the show wound down, the trio debated Midwest cuisine, wrapped asparagus in bacon, and relived the chaos of airport bar culture. All in all, it was a heartfelt, chaotic, and deeply Nebraska-centric hangout.

In this lively episode of the Five Heart Podcast, host Minnie kicks off the show solo while Greg arrives fashionably late. With help from Husker Chuck and several other Holgor-Maniacs, the gang dives into a Mount Rushmore of the most iconic plays in Nebraska football—at least within each fan’s era of fandom. Husker Chuck recalls Corey Schlesinger’s second touchdown in the 1995 Orange Bowl, Alex Henery’s 57-yard field goal in 2008, and even a bone-jarring hit in the 1978 win over Oklahoma. James and Joe submit their picks, including Johnny Rodgers’ 1971 punt return, the “Flea Kicker,” the “Fumblerooski,” and Levante David’s strip of Braxton Miller. Greg reveals his personal top four, which includes Tommy Hill’s 2023 pick-six against Colorado. Minnie, proudly representing newer fans, lists more emotional moments like the red-light show at Memorial Stadium and Dylan Raiola’s commitment. The show blends humor, Husker nostalgia, and strong community vibes. Fans relive great moments while good-naturedly teasing Minnie for her unconventional picks—especially when she lists “fireworks” as a favorite play. Up next week: Boneheaded Husker plays.
