This week on the the show, it’s a mild audible. Our intent was to have the one and only Hoss Reuter on the show to break down the Nebraska Spring Game. But Hoss has been under the weather this week so we are putting a pin in his input until next week. 

We will have our own review of the Red/White game in which the White Squad won 25-21. The format of the game was different than in years past which prov...

No description given. But I assure you...Nebraska Cornhusker softball is discussed.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie will prepare you for the annual Red White Game this Saturday in Lincoln. 

What are we looking for from the game? Will the running backs pass protect? How will the wide receivers look in press coverage? Who will stand out on the offensive line and will Danny Dimes be crowned the starting QB before or after halftime? 

And that’s just on ...

Join us on Corn Nation’s You Tube channel tonight for Husker Heat as we review a disappointing weekend in Ann Arbor, talk a little Iowa doubleheader as that will likely be winding up during the show and look ahead to this weekend where things don’t get any easier.

Northwestern currently sits a 1⁄2 game in front of Michigan for 1st place in the Big 10, a spot they’ve occupied for most of the last few ye...

Mitch Sherman of The Athletic will join me tonight.

There is a lot to ask of Mr. Sherman. He’s been places. He’s seen things.

Like Nebraska football practice. Dylan Raiola and Danny Kaelin in action, one presumes.

I think the number one question I want to ask him is, disregarding the players, what do you think is the biggest difference between last year and this year that ...

This week on the show, the Panel discusses the wide receiver room. 

Jaylen Lloyd. Malachi Coleman. Alex Bullock. Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda. Jahmal Banks. 

While there’s a fair amount of depth behind this quintet, there’s not a lot of experience. So who steps up? Who is ready to go? 

Nebraska returns over 75% of production from last year. How does that fit in with Matt Rhule’...

Producer's Note: I have no idea how this one slipped through the cracks unless I was just too distracted by work. So this is a make-good from a couple weeks ago. My apologies to Andy, Mylie, and all the fans. - GM

This week we’ll dive into the sweep of Wisconsin where Syd Gray arguably did enough to win her 3rd B1G Player of the Week award and Kaylin Kinney battled her way to her best weekend of the season...

Last week, Iowa lost the national title in the women’s basketball game to South Carolina.

At that time, I had tweeted out toward the end of the game, “Iowa will not win another national title,” and it started a bit of an argument on Twitter with some Iowa fans who I had trolled, and who started talking about their national titles and how they have more, because Iowa has 24 national titles in wrestling.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, LIVE and rocking the Chatterfields, the crew discusses the quite possibly the worst thing to happen to Husker football...apathy. 

We’re a few weeks away from the 2024 Spring Game with a 5-star quarterback, an Elite 11, homegrown quarterback, some exciting returning pieces and some dynamic transfer portal acquisitions. And tickets are still available to the Spring Ga...

It’s a full house this week as Greg and Minnie are joined by Andy and Aaron. 

You know Andy from Husker Heat, the Nebraska softball show. Aaron is a pretty regular Chatterfield who has been a guest on the show before and is also the Corn Nation baseball beat writer. 

So we obviously have to discuss Tuesday night’s loss to in-state rival Creighton. The 5-3 tilt ended Nebraska’s 10-game wi...

Nebraska made the NCAA tourney for the first time in 10 years, and because of that, I've continued watching more basketball than I can previously recall. It has been one fun tourney on both on the men's side and the women's side.

On the women's side, we have Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese going at it. And by the time we do our show tonight, they will have played to see who gets into the Final Four.

Zach Edey and Purdue have made the...

Insert exhaustive sigh here. 

One win. That’s all we wanted. Nebraska men’s basketball made the tournament for the first time in a decade, but that 8 versus 9 matchup is always a toss-up. And Texas A&M shot the ball better than they had all season while Nebraska, sadly, was well under average. So not to sound like a beleaguered Cubs fan in the depths of misery, but “there’s always next year.”

Tonight we’ll review & preview as always and also chat about Billie hitting #55 and also some of the injuries which have plagued the team.

Corn Nation is providing the most comprehensive coverage of Huskers softball. Be sure to check out our recaps, posted ASAP following the game’s completion, and our weekly previews of the weekend’s action.

Nebraska basketball season is over.

The men had their best season in 23 years, beat a number one opponent for the first time in over 40 years, enjoyed court stormings and a trip to the NCAA tourney, but they still missed out on that elusive first win.

The women got their first NCAA tournament win in 10 years. Were these seasons successful?

What about basketball?

What a time to be alive. 

Both the Nebraska men’s and women’s basketball teams are in action Friday night in their respective NCAA Basketball Tournaments. And in a wondrous case of coincidences, BOTH teams are playing Texas A&M. You remember them, right? That’s the same school that stole our former athletic director out from under our noses.

Corn Nation founder and fearless leader Jon Johnston spends this episode discussing the Texas A&M Aggies with Robert Behrens.

Behrens is the managing editor of Good Bull Hunting, SB Nation’s Texas A&M team site. He is a 2005 Texas A&M graduate, a lifelong Aggie fan and is often too rational for his own good.

Nebraska faces Texas A&M in the first round of both the men’s an...

We’ll review a successful home weekend as the Huskers swept Northern Colorado (2), North Dakota and Creighton to raise their record to 16-12. We’ll talk about their hot bats and Caitlyn Olensky’s rise and other things we observed.

In addition, we’ll talk about the upcoming game with UNO, which looks to be pretty even as well as the kickoff of Big 10 play as the Fighting Illini come to town for three.

There is so much to talk about this week.

Continued fallout and discussion of Trev Alberts leaving for Texas A&M - thrown directly in our face because the NCAA selection committees for both men’s and women’s basketball has chosen to put Nebraska up against the Texas A&M Aggies in both sports in the opening round of the NCAA tourneys.

I didn’t have Trev Alberts leaving on my 2024 bingo card. So there’s that. Look, I know there are going to be plenty of questions about why and who’s next. But in this episode, we’re going to talk about: 

Women’s basketball loses in OT to that team over there, settling for B1G Tournament runners-up. Men’s basketball ends regular season with a road win and ranked third in the conference. Hoiberg shares ...
