Corn Nation Overreaction Revisits that Time Wisconsin Beat Us…Again
| I know, I know. This isn’t a fun headline. It wasn’t a fun game. Well, it certainly started fun. Going up 14-0 after the first quarter, only to be outscored 24-3 the rest of the game. Hoss and Greg discuss the game and grass fields, Braelon Allen going to the NFL, Jaylen Lloyd, turnovers, and more. I’d like this description to be better but this isn’t my day and I have to get this episode out in a few minutes. |
B1G Football Media Days Session 3: Elvis, The Art of War, P.J.’s Screaming & the New Guys
| Just a little old venue for our interviews. Thanks, Lucas Oil Stadium. The final day came to a close as the final six coaches and their players took their turns before the assembled media. We got to hear from the other 2 west coast teams and why was P.J. Fleck so mad at us?? The last day of B1G Football Media Days began with the first speaker, Oregon’s Dan Lanning, rolling out three or four minutes late, sort of like getting a delay of game... |
Friday Flakes: Matt Rhule Believes Nebraska Football Has Some “Secrets” for Opponents this Fall
| Photo by Steven Branscombe/Getty Images A part of developing a football team is building depth and according to Matt Rhule, he believes that there is more talent on this team than when he was hired and that it is beginning to go multiple layers deep. There apparently are some good players that we don’t even realize. At Big Ten Media Days he said the following, “Within our walls…we’ve got a bunch of guys that can really play. We have a bunch of guys we think... |

Illinois Fighting Illini 2024 Football Preview
| Illinois head coach Bert Bielema chats with Matt Rhule before hitting the concession stand | Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images Some major holes in the Illini depth chart have lowered expectations for 2024 for Illinois. Bert Bielema’s teams have long been a thorn in the side of Husker football starting with the 2012 annihilation in the Big Ten championship game. In 2021, Husker mental lapses and poorly timed penalties in the week zero season opener were a sign of a season (and coaching staff) that... |
B1G Football Media Days Session 2: The Huskers Roll Into Town
| Matt Rhule was his usual engaging self and, unlike most of the rest who guard not so secret secrets like nuclear codes, he actually had some fresh info to dole out. As forgettable as Day 1 of B1G Football Media Days unfurled (As another media member remarked to me as we gathered our lunch, “Man, that was rough, yesterday.”), Day 2 actually provided some laughs and solid info, many courtesy of Nebraska Head Coach Matt Rhule, of course. Coach Rhule appeared maybe a little tired,... |
Nebraska Football: Comparing Linebacker Recruits Christian Jones And Will Hawthorne
| Dylan Widger-USA TODAY Sports The Huskers are in the final reckoning for these two talented linebackers when deciding where to play their college football. Christian Jones 6-2.5/215 and Will Hawthorne 6-2/ 220 have very similar measurables but who would be the preferred choice for Husker Nation to see donning the Scarlet and Cream? Jones has a fast twitch element to his game that allows him to get into positions to make plays which is something that Tony White covets in his multiple defensive schemes. That... |
Five Heart Podcast: Breaking Down Big Ten Media Days and EA College Football 25 – LIVE Tonight
| This week on the Five Heart Podcast, the team will break down the Big Ten Media Days in Indianapolis. While we may hit some of the highlights of other coaches, our focus and emphasis will always be on the main man, Matt Rhule. While Rhule and a few players were out of town, the recruiting did not end. Kade Pietrzak committed this week, adding depth to the defensive line with the number one player in North Dakota. Technology has changed the sport immensely over the... |
B1G Football Media Days Session 1: Ghost Towns and Filibusters
| It wasn’t exciting. But today? THE HUSKERS!! And USC & UCLA! And Michigan State, I guess. Oh, and those creeps from Iowa and Penn State. Day 1 of 2024 B1G Football Media Days kicked off with conference commissioner Tony Petitte, a man whose name I consistently misspell by misplacing the “t’s”, extolling the conference’s football prowess…by talking about Caitlin Clark and Iowa putting 55,000 souls in Kinnick for a women’s basketball game. It was truly the most impressive showing for a womens’ sport since –... |

ALL THE RIGHT MOVIES from Corn Nation: Coming Up to the Plate – The Bad News Bears
| So settle in and grab a stinkin’ bat, ya cruds! The foul and hilarious Little League classic which also pulled on a heartstring or two throws out the first pitch tonight! Who can forget Walter Matthau taking a paid position as the manager of a gaggle of foul-mouthed losers whom the league didn’t want? Tanner, Engleberg, Kelly Leak and Amanda taught many of us some prime and proper cursing in the bicentennial year which we still employ to this day. And some more we definitely... |
