Greg kicks off a Thursday-night Five Heart Podcast on Corn Nation’s platforms with Fred and Minnie, immediately devolving into the usual chaos: muted mics, jokes, and wardrobe policing. Minnie admits she’s still “in mourning” after a rough offseason of losing coaches and players, but the group circles back to the mantra: trust Matt Rhule—even if they wish he’d communicate more.
They correct a chat rumor: it’s not Dylan Raiola switching positions; it’s Dayton Raiola committing to Oregon as a tight end. That sparks banter about the Raiola family, recruiting ties to Polynesian communities, and a brief derail into religion and “what’s offensive,” which the crew quickly tries (and fails) to escape. Another running debate follows: can Husker fans “like” other teams? Greg insists you can watch other games, but you can’t cheer for anyone else; Minnie argues it’s fine to enjoy good football.
Eventually, they transition to real Husker news: special teams changes after staff departures, including discussion of former Husker kicker Brett Maher’s résumé and why special teams will face intense scrutiny. The conversation turns into a larger gripe about Rhule’s fourth-down “metrics” decisions versus taking guaranteed field goals. They briefly touch on Nebraska basketball’s recent loss to Illinois, upcoming games, and end by praising longtime broadcaster Kent Pavelka and hoping this season finally rewards him with March success.
