Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans

Well hello there, pardner, it’s time for another rip-roaring episode of your favorite Thursday night show, the Five Heart Podcast. Listed among the elite Husker podcasts out there [https://www.millionpodcasts.com/nebraska-sports-podcasts/] (it’s true...it's damn true)! But enough about us. You’re here because you love Nebraska football. And if we’re being honest, there is no off-season. We’re in the middle of Spring Practice. This Saturday is the Spring Game, or rather the Husker Games, and the celebration that surrounds it. Greg and Minnie will have a breakdown of the day’s festivities. Thursday, we hear from Husker Football GM Patrick Stewart, whom we hope has Nebraska’s big-picture gameplan for roster limits, NIL, and more. But let’s face it...if we said we weren’t here for the Jacob Bower story, I’d be lying. The linebacker from California turned down free education at West Point to walk on at Nebraska and did everything right. Worked hard, improved his craft, and was rewarded with a scholly by Matt Rhule. But with Name-Image-Likeness growing, are these types of stories going to become extinct? And of course, this show is LIVE during the first round of the NFL Draft. Which Huskers have the greatest chances to hear their names called in the next few days? Will Nebraska have a first-round draft pick? No pressure, Ty Robinson. We’ll see you tonight at 9pm Central. Don’t miss it. Being a part of the live studio audience gives you the chance to be a part of the show. Go Big Red. Always.

A 3-game set at Washington is next on the menu for the Huskers as they make a last charge at hosting a regional. Do they have a sweep in them? This week, Husker Heat dives into the first trip to a former Pac-12 park. That’s right, the Nebraska Cornhuskers [https://www.cornnation.com/] will take on Washington in beautiful Husky Stadium overlooking Lake Washington. We’ll also talk about the split with Indiana and the utter meltdown of the coach in the opener. We’ll dive into where things sit rankings and RPI-wise and I’m pretty sure Mylie & I will find something to bicker about again.

It’s time for another thrilling episode of Monday Night Therapy! This week, we’re diving into the ever-evolving landscape of Nebraska football and college athletics as we dissect head coach Matt Rhule’s jaw-dropping quote from last summer: “A good quarterback costs 1-2 million dollars in the portal in NIL.” Fast forward to today, and the stakes have skyrocketed! We will discuss the incredible ascent of quarterbacks like Darian Mensah, with an $8 million NIL deal, claiming the title of the highest-paid college football player in history. We’ll also touch on Carson Beck, who transferred to Miami with a reported $4 million NIL package. With NFL quarterbacks raking in $60 million contracts, where will this financial race end? In addition to the pay for play dynamics, we’ll preview the upcoming Red and White spring game for Nebraska, sharing everything we know so far. Don’t miss out on insights from host Minnie Hunt and special guest Aaron Rastovski, who will update us on other happenings in Nebraska sports.

The Five Heart Podcast on Corn Nation, which streams live on YouTube, Facebook, and X with your hosts Greg and Minnie, once again welcomes our lively chat “The Holgormaniacs:”. We’re delving into an essential topic for Nebraska football fans: the insights from Defensive Coordinator John Butler’s recent press conference. In this episode, we’ll discuss Butler’s view on the “lost art of tackling” and how Nebraska’s commitment to physical practices sets the Cornhuskers apart from the rest of the Big Ten. Butler emphasized that tackling in the secondary is a critical trait that will be prioritized during spring practices. He outlined three key skills every defender needs: the ability to cover, tackle, and play the ball. With player safety being a significant concern within the last decade, Butler has made it clear that instilling physicality while maintaining safety is a delicate balance. “You have to practice tackling bodies,” Butler states, emphasizing the need for real-time practice to improve this vital skill. Don’t miss out on this informative discussion about tackling techniques, player development, and how Coach Matt Rhule’s focus on physicality is laying the groundwork for a successful season. We will cover these topics as well as Transfer Portal news. Tune in to discuss all things Nebraska football and support our Cornhusker team. As always, GBR! ******* Editor’s Note: The concept of this episode was created before Thursday’s Husker press conferences. So the show you get is about more than just tackling. We hope you enjoy it. I know I had a great time on the show. GBR!

Join us tonight, on Tax Tuesday, at 8pm CST for your only Huskers Softball podcast, Husker Heat! As always, we will review the past week and preview the upcoming opponent, but this week? We may spend a little extra time savoring the sweep of Northwestern, and the fact it was emphatically done by a total score of 24-2. And the opponent this weekend is Indiana, to whom the ladies also might be thirsting for some payback after last year’s shocking loss in the Big 10 tourney semis. So tune in for the show - and, as always, please chime in with your thoughts in the comments!
