On the final Overreaction of the season, Greg and Hoss break down Nebraska’s 20-15 win in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl. There were a lot of stories heading into this game and seemingly as many stories coming out of it. Winning the program’s first bowl game since 2015 ensures the team’s winning season. It sends the sixth-year guys out with a wi…

Join us for a thrilling Five Heart live stream on Corn Nation as we delve into the excitement surrounding Husker Football’s long-anticipated return to bowl season! Set against the backdrop of the upcoming Big Bad Mowers Pinstripe Bowl in iconic New York, the Nebraska Huskers are gearing up to face the Boston College Eagles. This marks the Huskers’ …

Tonight, Beth, our volleyball writer, will join me for the beginning of the show for a post-season post-mortem. Penn State ended the season with the national title, a disappointment to so many of us Nebraska fans. We’ll talk about that. Then there’s football. At 8:30 p.m., Justin Adams, from Voice of College Football Nebraska, will join me to talk …

Tonight we have a very special Five Heart Podcast. Even though it is scheduled during the Final Four, we will be giving updates as the game progresses. Also, it happens to be the “Very Special Christmas Special” episode. Greg and Minnie have been busy planning and working away like Santa’s Elves in the Workshop. We will have guests and a special su…

The HHH hits the air tonight at 800 PM CST and bowl season is back in our lives once again. But in the emerging new world of CFB, there’s more than just daily practice reports about which to talk. The portal continues to fill and the transfers in are starting to happen including one of the biggest names in the portal a year after we took a big swin…

Get ready for an action-packed live stream as Beth, our resident Nebraska Volleyball expert, dives into the biggest stories in Husker Nation! First, we’ll break down Nebraska volleyball’s incredible wins this weekend, leading them to the Final Four journey. Beth will analyze the team’s standout performances and what it’ll take to bring home the cha…

Bring your party hats and noise makers; you are cordially invited to celebrate this Thursday evening on the Five Heart Podcast. After 8 years of a Bowl Game drought, our Huskers have accepted the invitation to play at the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl! There is much to unpack with Husker football updates, new hires, and visits. We will also discuss…

Start spreading the news! By tuning in to the HHH at 8PM CST tonight! And sorry - I figured I should be about the 3,294th Nebraska outlet to use the New York New York line. But no matter what retreaded lyric I use, the fact was we couldn’t take a nap for the last 10 days or so without missing a hiring, firing, leaving, portal entering, recruit sign…

This week on Monday Night Therapy, it is the crossover show for the ages. Jon Johnston is off tonight and asked the Corn Nation Overreaction Crew to stand in for him. What are Greg, Hoss, and Jake overreacting to tonight? We learned on Sunday that Nebraska was selected to go to the Big Apple for the Pinstripe Bowl at Yankee Stadium. The Huskers wil…

We have an unbelievably fun show planned tonight on the Five Heart Podcast. There is so much to cover as we put the last nail in the Iowa loss (last Friday). After the dust settled, we learned a few things about that game. Lots of staff changes have taken place this week. As rumors began circling first thing Monday morning about Tony White leaving …

A review of another loss to Iowa, this one which the Huskers thoroughly dominated for all but 3 or 4 plays. But those 3 or 4…oof! But there was no rest for the reddish as what will be a crazy offseason started with a bang. Tony White’s leaving (not a shocker, actually a good move for him), but Dana Holgorsen’s staying. And the largest portal in its…

It may seem like there is more bad news than good news where Husker athletics are concerned. The Husker Black Shorts are the number 2 seed but against Penn State the girls didn’t look as crisp. Merritt Beason hit .091 as the team limped to a .154 attack percentage. But it was fallout from the vitriol of some “fans” and haters alike on social media …

The regular season is over. Nebraska finishes 6-6 after falling to the Iowa Hawkeyes 13-10 on Friday night in Iowa City. From pre-game shenanigans to missed opportunities while the clock was running, all-in-all it was an ugly day in an ugly state surrounded by ugly people. The defense was solid with the exception of the screen pass to Caleb Johnson…

The Five Heart Podcast is moving this week’s live stream to Wednesday at 9 pm Central. We will properly kick off the Thanksgiving holiday by giving thanks for Nebraska’s 5-star quarterback, Dylan Raiola, and our super-star baller, shot caller, Dana Holgorsen. As the Cornhuskers became bowl eligible this past Saturday with a victory over the Wiscons…

It was a very good weekend for our beloved Cornhuskers. The Nebraska men’s basketball team defeated Creighton, ranked Creighton, and in doing so held their star Ryan Kalkbrenner to four total points, all from the free throw line. Given his performance before that game, that is a most incredible stat, and I hope it bodes well for the rest of the men…

This week on the premier reaction podcast/live show out there, the Corn Nation Overreaction, Greg, Hoss, and Jake will break down Nebraska’s sixth win of the season, the 44-25 victory over the Wisconsin Badgers. The Huskers are bowl-eligible for the first time since 2016 and toppled Wiscy for the first time since September 2012. And it happened in …

This non-formatted, off-the-cuff live show is less of a “show” and more of an excuse to get together with the community to bask in the feeling of bowl eligibility. The Nebraska football team exorcised two big demons tonight. A) The first win against Wisconsin since the iPhone 4 was new 2) Being bowl eligible for the first time since the Obama admin…

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…
