On this episode of Monday Night Therapy, Minnie and Fred reflect on Nebraska’s close but frustrating loss to Michigan. They joke about the “rite of passage” of attending a home game defeat, yet emphasize there were positives. Minnie insists Nebraska is “dangerous” despite negativity from fans, praising Dylan Raiola’s talent and leadership. Still, the offensive line’s struggles dominate discussion, with seven sacks allowed, ongoing injuries, and questions about coaching and recruiting misses. Fred highlights how repeated false starts and unprepared tackles signal deeper staff issues.
The hosts note that while the defensive line lacks past power, creative schemes could mitigate weaknesses. They criticize slow-developing offensive plays that leave Raiola vulnerable, calling for quicker passes, screens, and perhaps a more air-raid approach. NIL challenges and limited depth at running back also surface, illustrating how Nebraska lags in the new era of player compensation.
Beyond Xs and Os, they recap a rainy fan meetup, praise Jacory Barney’s Hail Mary touchdown, and vent about inconsistent officiating. Discussion widens to Big Ten rivals, Indiana’s surprising dominance over Illinois, and broader concerns about coaching resources. The show closes with optimism that Nebraska can regroup during the bye week and compete strongly against Michigan State.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
