YouTube Video VVVDVUtjWUNHQWdfN2U4MHh5SlFEUW9RLlV3bmFFMWZXa2Y0 The Five Heart Podcast crew of Greg, Minnie, and Fred spent much of the episode discussing Nebraska basketball and the changing realities of the transfer portal. The biggest topic was the loss of forward Berke Büyüktuncel, who entered the portal despite recently getting a tattoo commemorating Nebraska’s 27-6 season. The hosts described him as an emotional leader and glue guy who helped Nebraska reach its first Sweet Sixteen and first NCAA Tournament win. They speculated that money was the primary reason for his departure, with reports suggesting he wanted a major NIL raise and may already have another destination lined up. The show also covered positive news for Nebraska basketball, including Braden Frager returning and Nebraska reportedly lining up Belmont transfer Sam Orme, a 6-foot-9 forward and strong three-point shooter. The hosts praised Fred Hoiberg for quickly finding replacements and adapting to the portal era. Later, the discussion shifted to Nebraska football. The hosts debated the 2026 schedule, with most fans predicting a 6-6 or 7-5 season, while Greg remained one of the few optimistic enough to believe Nebraska could go 12-0. The crew generally felt improved offensive line play could help Nebraska exceed expectations.

Five Heart Podcast: Transfer Portal, Visits, and State-Funded NIL?

Corn Nation 438 views April 10, 2026 11:52 am

Join us tonight at 8pm CST as Husker Heat returns to keep you up to date on all things Cornhusker Softball this week. We’ll review the sweep of Rutgers in which the Scarlet Knights scrapped along, but in the end were unable to solve Jordy Frahm who racked up more weekly honors. For the next two weekends, the Huskers will journey north and begin by taking a trip to Madison for a battle with the Wisconsin Badgers whose RPI seems oddly high, but every little bit helps. And as always, we’ll try to keep you updated with a feel for where the ladies sit as far as potential seeding for the NCAA tourney. And I’m pretty sure Mylie and I will find a couple things to babble about which have nothing to do with softball.😉 So join us, and please hit the comments with any thoughts or questions about anything we’ve said or maybe left out. Or, as I encourage in the Huskers Happy Hour fall football show, just hop in there to give us a “Go Big Red” and let us know you’re watching! Husker Heat - 8pm - See you then!

Time For a Northern Road Trip!

Corn Nation 76 views April 8, 2026 9:06 am

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Minnie, Fred, and Greg will discuss last weekend's Red White Game. Specifically, the trio will discuss the format of the game and how it was set up to showcase the offense. They will discuss the offense versus defense approach and the sometimes confusing scoring system. Who shined on Saturday and who raised their own profile in the eyes of the coaches and the fans? And what does Nebraska football look like coming out of the Spring and heading into the dead period before Summer workouts? Did the Spring Game performance start the flow of Kool-Aid once again? The show will also spend some time giving a lesson on social media etiquette as it pertains to interacting with student athletes. In doing so, Minnie will shine a light on the downside of engaging with players on various platforms. A few quick notes on baseball, softball, and basketball and we'll have plenty of interaction from the best damn Husker Community on the internet! And it's LIVE tonight at 9pm Central.

Five Heart Podcast: Husker Football Building Blocks

Corn Nation 260 views April 3, 2026 1:02 pm

Join us Tuesday night at 8pm CST for this week’s episode of Husker Heat and I think it’s safe to say that tonight’s plate is full! Of course, the UCLA series win has given us plenty to chat about. As expected, this had an effect nationally, so we’ll let you know where they stand in both the polls and the RPI. We’ll break down each game a little deeper and talk about how our pitching fared in the winds against the powerful Bruin bats. And we’ll give you the rundown on Rutgers who is a considerable drop in quality from UCLA - can the Huskers stay focused? And, oh yeah - the Creighton game should be ending shortly before we air. Hopefully, business is taken care of there as well. So tune in and please jump in the comments with any questions or thoughts - see you at 8!

Now Is the Time To Stay Focused

Corn Nation 130 views April 1, 2026 9:07 am

Monday Night Therapy focused on Nebraska’s spring football game and the excitement surrounding the 2026 season. Minnie Hunt and Fred Sacco discussed the unusual format of the spring game, which featured offense versus defense rather than the traditional Red-White split. Despite attendance being lower than in past years, they felt the crowd still looked impressive and noted that basketball’s tournament run, along with baseball and softball, likely reduced turnout. The hosts were encouraged by what they saw from quarterback Anthony Colandrea, praising his quick decisions, mobility, leadership, and ability to push the ball into tight windows. They contrasted his style with last season’s quarterback and felt the offense looked faster and more dynamic under Dana Holgorsen. They were especially impressed by the use of Jacory Barney and by wide receiver Quinn Clark’s one-handed touchdown catch. Freshman running back Jamal Rule generated major excitement after a long run, while the offensive line looked far improved thanks to several transfer additions. Fred also highlighted transfer defensive lineman Jasheer Whittington as a standout. Overall, the hosts left optimistic that Nebraska’s offense finally appears more creative, better protected, and capable of surprising opponents this fall.

Monday Night Therapy: Nebraska Spring Game Reactions 🌽| QB, RB, WR & O-Line Breakdown

Corn Nation 332 views March 31, 2026 10:07 am

Tonight on the Five Heart Podcast, we will be here after Nebraska's Sweet Sixteen match-up against Iowa. We had the privilege of celebrating not one but two tournament wins together as a community. The Huskers beat Troy last Thursday and advanced to the Round of Sixteen with the win over Vanderbilt. Iowa upset top-seed Florida on Sunday to create the rubber match. Nebraska beat Iowa on the road but lost at home. How will the crowd turn out tonight in Houston? We will be here tonight, and Greg has more victory beers to drink! And there will probably be some football talk, even though we haven't heard a peep out of anything football related for some time. But the Spring Game is Saturday, so we should probably mention football. It's a 6:30 Central tip-off, so if the game is still going on, we will be here LIVE after the conclusion. If the game is over before 9pm, we will start on time.
