Minnie Hunt kicks off the Five Heart Podcast without Greg (who’s late due to computer issues), joined by Fred Sacco. They joke about Greg’s basement setup, chat about the weather, and riff on Stranger Things. The conversation quickly turns to Nebraska men’s basketball and the Huskers’ close loss at Michigan. Fred blames himself for watching, while Minnie and Greg argue the refs tilted the game late, but they’re encouraged by how Nebraska competed despite missing key players. They agree it may be beneficial to get the first loss out of the way, and wonder how the AP poll will treat Nebraska after a “respectable” defeat.
The show detours into Nebraska adding women’s varsity flag football in 2028, including a notable early scholarship offer to McKenna Cook. They compare flag football’s rise to the case for adding women’s wrestling, crack jokes about WWE, and complain about the cost and culture of club soccer.
Eventually, they pivot to Nebraska football: the 2026 schedule is out. They go game-by-game, mixing optimism, realism, and humor—Greg refuses to predict losses, while Fred and Minnie debate likely swing games. They close with birthday cheers for a viewer, plugs for next week, and the usual sign-off: “Go Big Red.”
