A new offensive coordinator coach and star players. Since last weekends game against USC we have seen a lot less of the team in the media. Despite having the same press conferences; post game, Monday's HC, Tuesday's DC & OC + select players the only new things we've learned are 1) the way we nearly won in California 2) our new OC Dana Holgorsen had…

Another one-score loss, more egregious B1G ref hijinks, our 1st game with Holgo, a logo battle…and Wisconsin upcoming & still now bowl eligible. We’re going to chat about USC and some of the fallout from yet another one-score loss and failure to grab bowl eligibility. There was some criticism of Dylan Raiola and some thoughts about and by Dana Holg…

Nebraska lost to USC 28 to 20 - yet another one score loss, a November loss, a loss when we had already had our fifth win of the season and trying to get bowl eligible. God knows how many statistics have come out this week on what a statistical anomaly Nebraska is when it comes to losing one score games. People have talked about it being a curse. M…

I’m sure you have opinions. We have a lot to talk about after Nebraska is STILL winless against USC following Saturday’s 28-20 final. This week on Corn Nation’s Overreaction, Hoss and Greg are going to talk about running backs Emmett Johnson and Dante Dowdell and how the run game was milk-cartoned late in the game. The guys also discuss the emergen…

Tonight on The Five Heart Podcast we will be discussing this week’s bombshell news coming out of Lincoln from Coach Matt Rhule’s press conference on Monday. 1) We have a new play caller; Dana Holgerson. WTH?! Welcome to the new way of doing things in college football. Coach Rhule has given schools a brand new outline on how to handle coaching chang…

The conversation will likely center on Dana Holgorsen whose hire was announced last Tuesday. Then yesterday, at Matt Rhule’s presser, it was announced he would begin serving as sole offensive coordinator effective immediately through the 2024 season. Marcus Satterfield and Glenn Thomas will only coach TE’s and QB’s respectively. What exactly are we…

Matt Rhule announced today in his Monday press conference that Dana Holgorsen will be the offensive coordinator and calling plays for the rest of the 2024 season. This leads to a lot of speculation and wondering - what will the Nebraska offense look like? USC quarterback, Miller Moss, was replaced by Jaden Maiava for the Nebraska game. Miller Moss …

This week was a quasi-special episode because we didn’t have a game to break down, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t have news. On the Corn Nation Overreaction this week, Greg, Hoss, and Jake discuss the additions made to the coaching staff last week as Dana Holgorsen and Phil Snow arrived in Lincoln. Snow is a defensive guru who has been coaching fo…

Vince Lombardi said “Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.” Nebraska Cornhusker fans have seen their fair share of losses. Yet we continue to show up for every game and support o…

We had plenty on the plate Tuesday, thanks to the announcement of offensive whiz Dana Holgorsen’s hire as an “offensive consultant”. We covered his history and expectations at Nebraska, the UCLA game and, as always, our viewers let fly in the comments about that and other things including: a recap of UCLA and the numbers which stuck out including t…

Tonight, our volleyball writer, Beth Merrigan will join us and we will have a volleyball update and it will be something nice and positive to talk about rather than what’s going on with the noise and screaming around the football team. The month of November is a huge month for the Nebraska volleyball team as they try to stay in the fight for a Big …

This week on the Overreaction show, Greg, Hoss and Jake will discuss the UCLA loss yesterday 27-20. What went right and wrong? How could the Huskers trail the entire game against a team they were favored to beat? Hoss, has some interesting praise to hand out but not to anyone who wears scarlet and cream. Yes, injuries have began to pile up for the …

I haven’t felt this excited since I was a kid going trick-or-treating on Halloween. Nebraska has a real chance to make it to a bowl game and win the rest of the games on their schedule. Why, do we have so much optimism? One word “Ohio”. Winning at Ohio was certainly well within our grasp. The game that all Husker fans had circled on their calendar …

On Huskers Happy Hour tonight at 8PM, we’ll talk about this weekend’s opponent, the UCLA Bruins and which Huskers team will show up to take a third consecutive swing at bowl eligibility and that elusive 6th victory. Two weekends ago, the Huskers were shellacked 56-7 by then #22 Indiana, but the rebounded last weekend in a tight 21-17 to loss to #4 …

This week on the Overreaction show, Hoss and Jake will recap their whirlwind trip to Columbus, OH for the Nebraska/Ohio State game. Greg is here too and the trio will discuss the Huskers’ 21-17 loss to the Buckeyes. What went right and wrong offensively? No one is getting a dollar every time “screen pass” is mentioned so you don’t have to beat that…

Nebraska played a tough, close game against Ohio State, one of the top five teams in the nation. Can they take that performance up against UCLA this weekend and come out with a win? Nebraska would become bowl eligible with a win over UCLA for the first time in 86 years, or so it seems. We will be discussing the Ohio State game and joining me will b…

Failure is inevitable and fundamental to motivate and inspire change. This week, our Huskers faced the harsh reality of their loss to Indiana 56-7. This defeat was emotional because it felt like we just gave up. Every team has strengths and weaknesses but since that loss, our teams weaknesses are under a magnifying glass, to the point where we may …

The Saturday 56-7 shellacking by some basketball school seems to be firing up those “Here we go again!” feelings. Are they legit? we’ll take a look ahead to Ohio St. - and won’t that be magical - but then it’s time to get down and dirty and have that talk about where we’re headed how. The loss to Indiana obviously runs deeper than just the 56-7 sco…

Connor from Corn Crazed will stop by tonight on Monday Night Therapy as we ask ourselves, where do we go from here? No doubt we’ll be discussing the Nebraska-Indiana debacle and what Nebraska fans should think about the rest of the season ahead. Does Nebraska still have a chance to make a bowl game even with so many games left on the schedule? Is e…

56-7 I could end the description right there, but Jon says that “150 words or it doesn’t get picked up by search engines.” So be prepared for word salad to last another 119 words. Epic, systemic failure. Both teams had a bye week heading into this game. Only one team seemed prepared for the contest. The lack of preparation can not be understated. I…

What is this strange feeling? It feels strange but also really good. I think it’s what some people call “hope”??? Yes, as a fanbase, we haven’t dared have hope for many years. Not to relive the past decade but everytime we had enough enthusiasm to ‘hope’, we were taken out with a sledge hammer at the ankles, (å la Stephen King’s Misery) crippling a…

This week on Corn Nation Overreaction, the guys have a plan to endure the bye week. That’s right, Greg, Hoss, and Jake bring you the Mid-Season Report Card. The guys pour over each position group, giving in-depth analysis on where we are halfway through the season. What have been some high points? What areas have met expectations from the fans or t…

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. Joining me for a lively discussion will be Jack Barsh and Ryland Scholes of Ralphie Report, our SB Nation Colorado Buffalo site. I’m sure the discussion will…

Tonight please join us as we christen the season with our predictions. Jon Johnston, Greg Mehochko and Minnie Hunt will be our panel as well as you our Chatterfields sharing all of our hope and dreams for this football season. Also, we got a new Tight End to discuss, Mac Markway transfer from LSU. He has already been practicing with the team and we…

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…

On the newest Five Heart Podcast, Greg, Minnie, and the finest group of truehearted Chatterfields will discuss all the current events of Husker Football. We will discuss the takeaways from press conferences with players Micah Mazzcua, Mikai Gbayor, and Turner Corcoran. As well as Special Teams Coach Ed Foley and Head Coach Matt Rhules’ key points. …

Today I got to live out a Husker fan’s dream and “throw the bones” with one of the most iconic blackshirts of this century, Adam Carriker. As a former player and representative of his brand Carriker Chronicles in the media, Adam offers a unique and thorough perspective on our beloved Husker team; Unlocking athletic potential as a multi-sport athlet…

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…
