The Five Heart Podcast focuses on Nebraska volleyball, football, fall camp, and the expectations surrounding the 2026 season. The hosts begin by discussing Nebraska volleyball’s Red-White Scrimmage, which drew more than 10,000 fans.

HUSKERS FOOTBALL 2025-2026 Part 3: What’s Happened Since Vegas?
Part 3 of the Huskers season review/preview is here and we’re less than a week away from getting to make fun of my wild guess attempt at the depth chart! However, today’s piece will focus solely on roster movement between the seasons, namely portal transfers in and out and the incoming 2026 recruiting class. No […]
Why Do Nebraska Fans WANT the Sellout Streak to Die?
There’s an article going around that says roughly 10,000 tickets remain for Nebraska’s home games against Indiana and Ohio State. Those aren’t cupcakes. Those are the two programs that played for the Big Ten championship last season. And we’re a few short weeks from kickoff of the 2026 season. Predictably, the reaction has been a […]
Thursday Flakes: 7 Days Until Volleyball, Family Milestones and More
Yesterday, my twins turned 10 months old. What the hell happened? I swear I was just in the hospital watching us get planted by Minnesota just two days before they were born. I seriously have covered the rest of the football season and a full basketball season since then?! I was warned that the days […]
Husker Volleyball: Red-White Match Thoughts
On Sunday, the 16th, Husker Volleyball played their annual Red-White match, but this year was a little different. With growing demand, and some construction in Devaney, the match was held at PBA with 11,000 fans in attendance to get a first look at this years highly touted team. Even though there is a lot of […]
Dana Holgorsen Is a Treasure…and It’s Time to Let the Man Cook
When Huskers Offensive Coordinator Dana Holgorsen steps to the podium for a press conference, I usually have to try and hide my grin. It’s not because he’s a stand-up comedian masquerading as a coach – but he is funny without trying. It’s not just because he loves to talk football and dive into the nuts […]

Michigan State Spartans 2026 Football Preview
Pat Fitzgerald’s Northwestern teams rarely, if ever, out-talented their Power Five opponents. Didn’t matter; they still won. How Fitzgerald’s teams did that is by outsmarting and outplaying them much of the time. Not always, mind you. Remember in 2021 when Nebraska walloped Northwestern 56-3 in Lincoln, only for Fitzgerald to get revenge in Ireland the […]
SBNation Big Ten Wonks Pick Season Records – Somebody’s Going to be WRONG
A bunch of us SB Nation Big Ten wonks got together and picked what our record would be for the 2026 season. Obviously, as you can see, a bunch of people are going to be wrong. The wins are going to come from somewhere, and so are the losses. It’s nice to see that everybody […]
Corn Flakes: Huskers vs. Texas in Primetime, After Short Stint RB Hayes Dismissed
Did you watch the Husker volleyball Red/White scrimmage on Sunday? It was so fun! It is very clear that we are in for an exciting season. I don’t know how DBK is going to pick which underclassmen are going to fill key rolls. Prior to the scrimmage I thought Mania Ogbechie was a shoo in […]
The Return of Monday Night Therapy: What Can We Believe About Nebraska?
Monday Night Therapy focuses on what Nebraska fans actually know about the 2026 offense rather than relying on offseason hype. Minnie Hunt and Jon Johnston examine the measurable progress made under offensive coordinator Dana Holgorsen, noting improvements in scoring offense, total offense, rushing, yards per play, and third-down efficiency from 2024 to 2025. Holgorsen also […]
Corn Nation Reacts Survey: Which HUSKER FOOTBALL Assistant Is the Biggest Key to a Successful 2026?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Nebraska fans and fans across the country. No one needed to drop $50 to that odd lady on the corner with a PSYCHIC READINGS BY CRYSTAL! neon sign in the window of that […]
How About Some Mid-August HUSKERS SOFTBALL Notes?
As much as it seems like the ladies were just headed home from Oklahoma City, Huskers softball fall practice is only a few weeks away as well as a slate of fall exhibition games. I had recently completed by my 2nd annual 4-part post-season series on the team, but sports news never stops and the […]
Corn Flakes: Volleyball Red-White Game and Fall Football Camp
It is officially ‘back to school’ week at the college where I work. The faculty came back to campus last week and the students start classes today. One faculty member observed, “we get older, but they stay the same age.” It was an interesting observation in that the freshman class every year is right out […]
Huskers Unveil Alternate Uniforms for a Wild Halloween Night Against Washington (UPDATED)
(UPDATED with more uniform images below) Halloween always turns into something more than just trick-or-treating for the kids when it falls on a Saturday and the Huskers are going to try and turn the Monsters Ball into a Memorial Stadium party complete with a black and red look on the field. There will also no […]
Nebraska Football Player Power Rankings: Halfway Through Fall Camp
Welcome my most recent edition of my Nebraska football player power rankings. As I have said before, this list will be completely subjective in several ways and may not follow a logical path. Or maybe it will. This power ranking list will be a combination of the most important, most impactful, a recent contribution, waiting […]
HUSKERS FOOTBALL 2025-2026: Coach Movement Out, Much More Coach Movement In
Think of this as an intermission, if you will, in the fall practice 4-part review series and look back and forward at 2025 and 2026 Husker Football. (If you’re playing catch-up on the series, CLICK HERE for PART 1 and/or CLICK HERE for PART 2.) The reason? Simple – in Parts 3 and 4, I’ll […]
Is Nebraska Finally Recruiting the Trenches Like a Big Ten Powerhouse?
Nebraska is on the cusp of a pivotal season that could very well determine how Matt Rhule’s tenure in Lincoln ultimately develops. There are plenty of questions surrounding the Huskers heading into 2026, but many of the issues that have plagued Rhule’s team have centered around one area: the trenches. Inconsistency along both the offensive […]
Friday Flakes: Prepare Yourself for the Anthony Colandrea Experience – Iowa is Likely Salivating
A few things can be true all at the same time. First, I am excited to watch Anthony Colandrea play quarterback for Nebraska in 2026. I believe he is going to be a substantial upgrade at the quarterback position in terms of leadership and mobility. The ceiling for Nebraska’s offense is substantially higher with him […]
Five Heart Podcast: Nebraska Husker Football Fall Camp & Husker Volleyball Red & White Scrimmage
The Five Heart Podcast focuses heavily on Nebraska football as fall camp gets underway, with particular excitement surrounding the revamped defense. The hosts discuss new defensive coordinator Rob Aurich and safeties coach Tyler Yelk, praising their football backgrounds, straightforward personalities, and enthusiasm for Nebraska. The new 4-2-5 defensive scheme is expected to improve Nebraska’s ability […]
Owen Chambliss May Not Be Loud, But Everyone Hears Him
Owen Chambliss will be the first to tell you he’s far from the loudest guy in the room. When I asked him how difficult it was to come to a new program and not just try to earn a starting job, but also earn the level of trust from teammates in a short time necessary […]
Nebraska’s Offensive Line Finally Has a Coach Who Can Fix It
[Below is a nice, cleaned up version of the video, which I assure you, has many rambling moments, including where I talk about running backs being the biggest morons of the football teams. So… if you’d like this cleaned up article, yay! If you like a rambling monologue about what I think about Geep, what […]
Thursday Flakes: Nebraska Sports and can Anyone Loan me $12 Billion?
Yesterday was a big day for me. My oldest, Jeneca, started kindergarten. My wife’s and my little “Quarantiny Suprise” is really no longer that. I get to join the exclusive club of being a proud parent who sees their oldest go to school. Ok, it’s not THAT exclusive, but still, the point remains. On a […]
HUSKERS FOOTBALL 2025-26 Part 2: We Conquer the One-Score Game Curse…But a Few Get Away
As the ‘25-’26 review/preview marches on, I took first a refreshing shot of Sailor Jerry and then a look back at last year’s slate. Yes, we know the overview. The Huskers started off 6-2 and Matt Rhule was given an extension with Penn State potentially sniffing around. The Huskers appeared to be in position to […]
Bowling Green Falcons 2026 Football Preview
Nebraska originally wasn’t supposed to be playing Bowling Green in the second week of the 2026 football season. In fact, Nebraska SHOULDN’T be playing Bowling Green this season. Bowling Green replaced Tennessee on the 2026 schedule because Nebraska wanted another home game in 2027 and doesn’t really care about strength of schedule anymore. Just listen […]
