The Five Heart Podcast on Corn Nation, which streams live on YouTube, Facebook, and X with your hosts Greg and Minnie, once again welcomes our lively chat “The Holgormaniacs:”. We’re delving into an essential topic for Nebraska football fans: the insights from Defensive Coordinator John Butler’s recent press conference.

In this episode, we’ll discuss Butler’s view on the “lost art of tackling” and how Nebraska’s commitment to physical practices sets the Cornhuskers apart from the rest of the Big Ten. Butler emphasized that tackling in the secondary is a critical trait that will be prioritized during spring practices. He outlined three key skills every defender needs: the ability to cover, tackle, and play the ball.

With player safety being a significant concern within the last decade, Butler has made it clear that instilling physicality while maintaining safety is a delicate balance. “You have to practice tackling bodies,” Butler states, emphasizing the need for real-time practice to improve this vital skill.

Don’t miss out on this informative discussion about tackling techniques, player development, and how Coach Matt Rhule’s focus on physicality is laying the groundwork for a successful season. We will cover these topics as well as Transfer Portal news. Tune in to discuss all things Nebraska football and support our Cornhusker team. As always, GBR!

Editor’s Note: The concept of this episode was created before Thursday’s Husker press conferences. So the show you get is about more than just tackling. We hope you enjoy it. I know I had a great time on the show. GBR!

In post-season play, there can only be a handful of teams that end their season with a win. Fred Hoiberg’s Husker squad did just that, winning the inaugural College Basketball Crown with a 77-66 win over UCF on Sunday. While cynics will lament that it’s not a significant tournament, I (Greg, FYI) choose to view it the same way we look at the football team’s bowl game appearance this past season...more basketball to play means more practices, and more spotlight on the program.

And in the days after Nebraska’s win, with the transfer portal open, the Mayor welcomes several new and familiar faces to Lincoln.

But sadly, the portal door swings both ways (seeing is Fred actually reads this) and Nebraska is no exception. It was announced ate Wednesday that Husker guard Nick Janowski was entering the portal, but earlier in the week, Nebraska wrestling fans were shocked to learn that 3 NCAA qualifier Lenny Pinto was entering the portal as well. That’s a potentially huge loss for the squad that just finished second as a team at the NCAA tourney.

And of course, what type of Husker show would we be without talking about football in April? From team dismissals (we Hardley new ye) to all of the latest happenings from Spring practice. I’ll be honest (me again, Greg), I’m really out of the loop on everything that’s gone on in Lincoln the last two weeks. So I’m as excited as you should be to learn and then instantly react based on pure emotion!

The Huskers travel to 1st-place (3-way tie) Northwestern with a huge chance to close the gap on the top of the standings. Oh, and play Creighton as well.

The Nebraska Cornhuskers travel to Evanston, IL, this weekend for a conference tilt with perennial Big 10 power, Northwestern. This is their biggest chance to try and jump up with the current big 3 in the B1G whom they trail by 2 games in standings.

We’ll also chat some about Wednesday night’s game with Creighton, but if we’re honest, losing that game would be a disaster - we’ll tell you why.

SO jump in tonight & participate by adding your comments!

It’s time for another exciting episode of the Five Heart Podcast, featuring our dedicated chat group, the Holgormaniacs! We’ll dive into the latest developments from Nebraska football, centered around the recent press conference discussing the start of spring practices and the highly anticipated Pro Day.

This past Tuesday, Nebraska’s indoor facility buzzed with energy as former players showcased their talent during Pro Day. NFL scouts, media, and fans gathered to witness a display of strength, speed, and agility, again this year a highlight was sophomore quarterback Dylan Raiola, who impressed while throwing to wide receivers and running backs. Coach Matt Rhule emphasized that spring practices are about evaluating talent rather than solidifying positions, as the team navigates a roster with significant turnover.

We’ll discuss key takeaways from Rhule’s insights on player development, scheme installation, and how the new coaching staff is shaping the team. Senior Marques Buford and running back Emmett Johnson shared their excitement about the upcoming season and the evolving roles of players.

This enlightening episode of Monday Night Therapy featuring Mark Rogers from the Voice of College Football. We’ll delve into his compelling book, “Disputed National Champions: College Football’s Historical 1990’s Reset,” which examines the tumultuous and transformative world of college football championships during a decade that redefined the sport.

As we explore pivotal moments and controversies that left fans debating the legitimacy of crowned champions, we’ll discuss how this era shaped future generations of college football. For Nebraska fans, this topic hits close to home: from 1993 to 1997, Nebraska football dominated, amassing a staggering 60–3 record and securing three national titles, solidifying its legacy during “The 90s.”

Before this reign of excellence, Tom Osborne’s teams faced their share of challenges, including consecutive bowl disappointments. The 1993 Orange Bowl against Florida State was a turning point, setting the stage for the legendary success that followed.

Join the conversation and bring your questions as we navigate the complexities of college football history with Mark Rogers—let’s uncover what truly made Nebraska great!
