Welcome to the Five Heart Podcast! Tonight, we will be discussing the win against Rutgers and what we have learned about our Huskers Football team half way through the season. Also, all the note taking that co-host Minnie Hunt has done, will finally pay off for one lucky Chatterfield as we see who got the closest to last week’s final score. Since i…

Tonight I’ll be talking about some red flags to watch out for Nebraska football for the rest of the season. What sort of things are bothering me? I’ll give you a hint, they’re strategic and not tactical. Then I’m going to counter my own argument. That’s the first section of the show. The second section of the show we’re going to talk about what an …

At least, that’s what I’ve been told. Hi, I’m Greg. I am the host of the Corn Nation Overreaction and my DVR stopped recording yesterday’s Nebraska-Rutgers game at the fourth quarter two-minute timeout. Nebraska was leading 14-7 at that time. Did they hold on to win? Well, you may be happy to know that the Cornhuskers have won their fifth game of t…

After a huge win at Purdue last week 28-10, Nebraska comes home to play their last game before their BYE WEEK against Rutgers Scarlet Knights. Homecoming probably conjures memories of a chilly fall breeze through the trees with freshly fallen leaves and the smell of football wafting through the air. Mother Nature must not have received the memo of …

Nebraska defeated Purdue 28-10 Saturday, and boy howdy, is there a lot of complaining about a team that is 4-1 so far on the season. So much negativity. Granted, it was an ass ugly first half of football, but in the end Nebraska ended up soundly beating Purdue. The Blackshirt defense held them to only 50 yards rushing, 174 yards passing, and 10 poi…

This week on Corn Nation’s Overreaction Show, Greg and Hoss are joined by Every Game Jake (formerly Big Game Jake) to discuss the first Big Ten Conference win of the season, a 28-10 win at Purdue. Bolstered by a 21-point fourth quarter that included a John Bullock pick-six, the Huskers turned a 0-0 halftime score into a one-sided contest. But make …

The wonderful thing about Five Heart is that every Thursday night we get together to discuss all things Husker Football. Which means it’s been nearly a week since we played Illinois last Friday Night. I am sure by now you have watched Jon’s Postgame Reactions (both of them), Greg and Hoss’ Over Reaction, Jon’s Monday Night Therapy, Andy’s Husker Ha…

Join me 8PM CST Tuesday as Husker Happy Hour deals with decidedly unhappy 31-24 loss to Illinois and looks ahead to Purdue. Things covered will include: Why the offense may be better than they’re showing. A longer talk about the defense. Where are we with injuries and “team decisions”? The Drive Chart - because that’ll be…emotional. Fun facts & fig…

Tonight I will review the Illinois loss and looking ahead to Purdue. While I don’t think it’s the end of the world, there are a couple of red flags that really bother me about how the Nebraska game went against Illinois. These are strategic issues, not tactical. What are they? You’ll have to join me to find out!!! What about Purdue? Are they as bad…

This week on CN Overreaction, Greg and Hoss have the unenviable task of discussing the 31-24 overtime loss to Illinois this past Friday night. What did Illinois do right? What did Nebraska do wrong? Look, this isn’t a finger-pointing situation. But there are clearly some aspects of the old ball game that need to be addressed and corrected. The runn…

When you hear the slogan “There’s no place like Nebraska” this Friday night game should come to mind. It’s the 400th consecutive sellout game at Memorial Stadium with the Nebraska Cornhuskers hosting Illinois Fighting Illini at 7 p.m. As we prepare for the excitement and pride of our ‘Friday Night Lights’ game, Greg and Minnie will discuss last wee…

Huskers Happy Hour is the new weekly Corn Nation podcast where we talk about the weekly stories, games, numbers and anything else we feel like talking about for an hour or so each Tuesday starting at 8PM. Much like at the local tavern, we’ll yak about what’s happening with the Huskers and solve all their problems for them…hell, maybe solve a few wo…

Tonight I’ll be reviewing the game against Northern Iowa and previewing our first Big Ten game of 2024 against Illinois on Friday night. We’re going to look at how the two teams stack up, Nebraska and Illinois. Both teams are ranked. I believe Nebraska has a 24-game losing streak against ranked teams. Isn’t that friggin’ amazing? Does Nebraska have…

This week on Con Nation Overreaction, Greg and Hoss discuss this unusual situation in which Nebraska fans find themselves...the fourth quarter is boring and we don’t know that to do. Let me be clear on this - we echo HC Matt Rhule’s position that a boring fourth quarter is in fact good. The more guys we are able to get into the game in those situat…

Tonight please join us as Greg and Minnie discuss the victory over Colorado. The fun meet-up with all our friends from the Chatterfields. Greg's first game in Memorial Stadium and Minnies' true stalker stories. As well as the upcoming game on Saturday against the University of Northern Iowa Panthers. The Panthers and the Cornhuskers both have begun…

We will be talking about the Nebraska-Colorado game and, in particular, how the rules are supposed to work. The second half was the worst half of football I’ve seen in a very long time and that was largely due to the officials making themselves known and being clear that they wanted to influence the game. We’re going to talk about what targeting is…

Well, we are back live less than twenty-four hours after the conclusion of an exciting 28-10 Nebraska win over the Colorado Buffaloes. Greg, Hoss, and Big Game Jake will discuss Greg’s trip to Lincoln and dining with Hoss. These two friends, fellow Husker fans, and longtime broadcast buddies finally met in real life for the very first time. And to …

Nebraska football, does it get any better than this week? It’s what us fans live for! The rivalry against Nebraska and Colorado is long touted as one of the most intense in CFB. Some say that Coach Prime has helped perpetuate the indignation of the “Boulderites”. Familiarity really does breed contempt! It’s our 2nd match up under these 2nd year Hea…

Well, the Huskers are 1-0. It’s not much, except an improvement over several years of losing the first game of the season. And on top of that, 107 Huskers saw some sort of action in the 40-7 win over the University of Texas - El Paso. Dylan Raiola looked as advertised, as he went oan to be named the Big Ten Freshman of the Week. And the targets he …

Tonight we’ll be looking ahead to the Nebraska-Colorado game this Saturday night in Lincoln. It’s a game which will be full of national attention, excitement, and probably plenty of fireworks.

This week on the Corn Nation Overreaction show, which will be LIVE, we get to know Hoss’ friend Jake. Apparently Jake really wanted to be on the show. Don’t get ideas...this is still a vehicle to launch Hoss to the next level of football analysis so that he eventually gets a job with the Big Ten Network. By that I mean...we don’t usually have guest…

You’ve heard the saying a picture is worth a thousand words. Capturing the emotions of pride, hope, excitement, joy, nostalgia, loyalty, courage, and even pain is what Licensed Husker Artist Ashley Spitsnogle has mastered. Today on Husker Talk, Ashley tells the story of how drawing horses and mermaids as a girl led to painting our Husker heroes. As…

Season 1 comes to close as we review the sweet tale of a golfer who knows greatness courts failure - and whose inner child needs a spanking. Tin Cup came out in the summer of ‘96 and immediately shoved in next to Caddyshack for the title of Greatest Golf Movie Ever. I love Caddyshack, but I my vote goes to the Cup. Kevin Costner’s hilarious portray…

Cardiologist Dr. Lou Kohl will join me tonight. Dr Kohl is my cardiologist, the man who saved my life just over nine years ago. On August 21st, 2015, I had a Widowmaker heart attack, and I was dead for over 20 minutes. I have a brain injury because of this experience. I realize we all want to be talking about football. I feel like I wouldn’t be doi…

The movie based on the book which let you know Texas is batsh*t crazy about its football. Like really crazy. Last week, we kicked off a 2-week Texas High School Football run with Varsity Blues which, while not based on the FNL book, didn’t try very hard to hide the fact the writers and director definitely read it. While changing a few things around…

Tonight, Connor Hayden from Corn Crazed joins me as it is time to prepare for the 2024 Nebraska football season. I have been overwhelmed with a “get this done” regular work schedule and it has been difficult to keep up with everything that our beloved Huskers have in store for 2024. Perhaps, if you’re the same as me, where you’re just getting back …

Recently, I interviewed one of my favorite Husker football fans, YouTuber Wilson Dittman of Wilson Dittman Sports. Wilson’s enthusiasm, research, and dedication to our beloved Cornhuskers are why his channel has exploded over the last 9 months. He tells us that once he decided to commit to his channel, he made a video that garnered over 10,000 view…

Friday Night Lights meets raunchy 80’s comedy, we discover Paul Walker, the coach does Hitler salutes and Dawson drops dimes as a 22-yr-old HS senior. Varsity Blues was so wrong and so glorious. “Playing football at West Canaan may have been the opportunity of your lifetime, but I don’t want YOUR LIFE!!” Somehow, some way, the academy failed to han…

Justin, being both a fan and an analyst, sheds light on some nagging Husker questions and gives us super fans a nice big dose of hope, while explaining why this year that it i…

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, we have the most unfortunate news that OT Teddy Prochazka is likely to miss the entire season with an injury that he incurred earlier this week. At the same time, Tristan Alvano underwent surgery, which we expected, and Brian Buschini lost some power in his punting. Nebraska held an open practice over the weeken…

I know, I know. This isn’t a fun headline. It wasn’t a fun game. Well, it certainly started fun. Going up 14-0 after the first quarter, only to be outscored 24-3 the rest of the game. Hoss and Greg discuss the game and grass fields, Braelon Allen going to the NFL, Jaylen Lloyd, turnovers, and more. I’d like this description to be better but this is…

Who can forget Walter Matthau taking a paid position as the manager of a gaggle of foul-mouthed losers whom the league didn’t want? Tanner, Engleberg, Kelly Leak and Amanda taught many of us some prime and proper cursing in the bicentennial year which we still employ to this day. And some more we definitely don’t. And remember - Buttermaker’s not d…

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 co…
