The other guys took the episode off… and LEFT ME IN CHARGE!

It’s a bad idea. I’m horrible at the intro. I’m horrible at the outro. Hopefully I got the audio right. [Editor’s Note – Jon did a great job. And “Five Heart is all the Heart you need.” – GM]

I am joined by Jill and Beth and we talk a lot about volleyball.

These are just few of the wonderful things we discussed:

• The Big Ten will be really tough again next year
• John Cook – how old he is and how long he’ll coach
• Who might replace John Cook as the next head volleyball coach at Nebraska
• And a couple of guesses on who might be the new assistant coach to replace
• Kayla Banworth becoming yet another Cook assistant to get a Division I head coach position

Also…. Beth tells us a lot of technical details about how hard players can hit a volleyball. I make comparisons to college pitchers and how they might have three good pitches. A hitter in volleyball can have over 20 different ways she can hit the ball. Maybe 40!

This past week was the Early Period for football players to sign their National Letters of Intent.

And the Nebraska Cornhuskers KICKED.SOME.ASS!

Rick Cone, Corn Nation’s Recruiting Guru, joins the Five Heart Podcast to talk about all of the hits that Nebraska received. There were some surprises. There was some drama. But roster needs were addressed.

Who’s N?

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Jon are joined by Paul Dalen to discuss the news and notes of Husker athletics. The guys talk about the arrests of two indefinitely suspended Huskers. Also on the docket, Nebraska Football – did the stats lie to us?

Among the other topics of conversation, Greg is young but not too young to remember Superman III (the Richard Pryor one). And Paul thinks Marvel is better than DC, er go Paul is wrong. (Agree or disagree? Paul wants to know in the comments.)

And there’s a cameo appearance by one of the Internet’s first celebrities.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg, Jon, and Hoss talk about the fifth-straight loss to that team from the east. Five straight. In a game we should have won.

But the second half of the show is spent talking about a good Nebraska athletic program, the #5-overall seed in the NCAA Volleyball Tournament which starts today. Beth Merrigan returns to talk volleyball.

Hey everybody. Welcome to a very special Five Heart Podcast. It’s the episode where we don’t swear, and if we do, I very carefully cover it up with censorship.

We understand that you may be traveling with your family to a Thanksgiving gathering. (Also, Happy Thanksgiving!) So wanted to keep this as clean as we could so you could enjoy it before tomorrow’s game.

So we beat Maryland, soundly. A great time was had by all.

And now it’s on to Iowa, and Jon believes (rightly so) that Iowa has settled for a lifetime of mediocrity. And as long as there’s a Ferentz in Iowa City, Greg agrees.

By that I mean – sure the outcome wasn’t desired, but the effort was there. Dare I say, the HEART was there.

This week on the show, Greg and Jon rehash their postgame thoughts from the weekend, while Hoss takes the opportunity to share his thoughts for the first time. What did Hoss see that he hasn’t seen in Husker football in almost twenty years?

SILVER LINING, YOU TURDS!

Here’s what we know: We make our first trip EVER to College Park to face the Maryland Terrapins this weekend.

And thinking about the Iowa game really gets Hoss’ piss hot.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg, Hoss, and Jon get you ready for Saturday’s match-up with Wisconsin. And to do that, we spend a little time talking with Tyler Hunt, Podcast Manager at Bucky’s 5th Quarter.

We talk with Tyler about Wisconsin’s expectations heading into the year and how the losses to Illinois and Ohio State may have derailed post-season plans. We talk about the elephant in the backfield known as Jonathon Taylor, and what weaknesses, if any, the Badgers possess.

After we let Tyler depart, we talk about why Wisconsinians (Wisconsegians – if we follow the Io_a way of naming things) are so happy. We discuss the youth on the Husker team and why we likely won’t see any more freshmen on the field in their redshirt year.

And we do spend a few minutes talking about Nebraska’s second-favorite son, Garrett Nelson, as well as Damion Jackson being awarded Blackshirts.

Well, this is our 150th episode. And in it, we do our best to talk about anything BUT Husker football. Let’s face it – it’s a coffin on roller skates at the moment. It will turn around. I don’t know when. No one does.

In this episode, we talk about making a change at starting QB, bible references, wasted defensive efforts, mind-boggling play-call, Nebrasketball, the Joker, and, uh…bedroom performance enhancers.

There was a good amount of discord in this episode of the Five Heart Podcast. Jon and Hoss yell at each other. Greg steps out of the line of fire, but tries to keep the show on track as we discuss the loss to Indiana. Who stepped up and who shoulders the bulk of the responsibility for Loss Number Four?

We also get into the hot topic around the NCAA these days, that of Name, Image, and Likeness, and a student-athlete’s ability to generate income from theirs.

This week, it’s Nebraska at Purdue. Whose dynamic playmakers will have the better day? We’ll find out Saturday.

Then the guys preview the upcoming game against Indiana, the first time the Hoosiers have been to Lincoln since 1977.

This post doesn’t really require anything else. This is the BOGO of Jon’s rants, because you get two. And technically, you’re not buying anything. It’s a bye week after the Huskers lost the beloved $5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy, WHICH GOT MORE BROKEN AFTER THE GAME!

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Jon and Greg discuss the win over Northwestern, the highs and the lows found therein. The guys also take a few minutes to preview the game against Minnesota this weekend.

But the highlight of the show is the conversation with Luke Peterson from the $5 Bits of Broken Chair Trophy Coalition (my word, not theirs). With the trophy on the line once again this weekend, the Chair Trophy fund raiser is in full swing, and it’s up to you, Husker Nation, to ensure a fund-raising win for the Big Red. Make your way to their website (www.brokenchairtrophy.com) to pledge your support while making a donation to Team Jack. There’s a fund-raising event at the Mall of America tonight, complete with the Nebraska Pep Band. More information can be found here.

Then we talk about this weekend’s game at Illinois, the opener of the Big Ten slate. But coming out of the break, Greg and Hoss serenade Jon with the musical stylings of Kenny Rogers. That right there is worth the download.

We’re doing the unthinkable – revisiting the loss to those damn Buffaloes. That’s about it. Hoss was there. He had some nice things to say about most of the CU fans he encountered.

And our final thoughts on Colorado:

And we preview this weekend’s game against NIU. A few other quick-hit topics are on tap as well.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast…Hoss is out. Jon Damn Johnston is out. It’s just Greg and special guest/co-host Paul Dalen. And the first topic of conversation?

Armadillos.

But then we put a bow on the series of game previews, discussing Maryland and Iowa. Let’s be honest, we don’t give a crap about the Maryland game, but we all have November 29 circled on our calendars. Leftover turkey, fighting over cheap electronics, and serving up a 50-burger for the Squawkeyes.

During the course of the show, we also talk about two Huskers suspended indefinitely, Mo Washington’s uncertain status, two new running back recruits, and one match-up with the underwhelming Jaguars.

And check out the great deal on Paul’s book, available on your Kindle device:

We also briefly discuss Justin Fields being named the starter at Ohio State and preview two games in November – a road game at Purdue and a home meeting with Wisconsin.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, we deep-dive into a single image that made its way onto the internet this week.

We talk about Ohio State trying to trademark a word we use hundreds of times a day. Disney/ESPN doesn’t care about you.

Plus we preview the three games in October and Jon takes us back in time to Memorial Stadium 1978.

And Jon (83) calls Hoss (28) a “crusty old man.”

Then the gang looks at the first two games of the Big Ten Conference slate, a road game at Illinois and a September 28 meeting at home against Ohio State.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg rocks a solo show as the other two Legs of the Tripod are unavailable.

Say hello to Beth Merrigan, Corn Nation’s Volleyball Writer. In her Five Heart debut, Beth informs us that she’s a Nebraska transplant (but not going anywhere) who has loved volleyball all her life, and just wants to talk volleyball all the time.

And we’re very cool with that.

Beth is a mom of four, wife of one, proud Panhandle resident, Army Reservist, and grammar enthusiast (okay, I made that last part up, but we can hope).

What does Beth think of the Husker volleyball team in 2019? Find out when you listen to the newest episode of the Five Heart Podcast.

This week on the show, Greg Hoss, and Jon talk about the silver lining that was the loss two years ago to the Northern Illinois Huskies. Why? Because we’re previewing this season’s Week Three match-up with the MAC Team.

But there’s also a lot of talk about the offensive line and position changes that helped bring about such depth. The defensive line gets some love too. And there’s another citation involving a Husker and the sweet cheeba.

This week on the show, the guys have some fun with reports and quotes following Day One of Big Ten Media Days in Chi-Town.

We took particular joy this week in making fun of Minnesota and their Head Coach PJ Fleck. Fleck, if you just tuned in, had this to say at the podium on Thursday.

(Shout out to Friend of the Show Erin Sorensen. We’re pretty sure she doesn’t know we exist.)

So after that gem, the show fired back:

So after verbally abusing Minnesota (and Jon for reasons found within), we turn our attention to our Week 2 opponent, Colorado, with a lot less analysis than Husker Mike and pretty much just raw emotion.

And there’s a pretty special cameo at the end.

In this week’e episode, our intrepid trio discusses a few pre-season polls that Nebraska (and its fans) popped up on this past week. We also look at a more established pre-season ranking as done by Phil Steele.

After the break, the guys discuss the season-opening match-up with the University of South Alabama and decide to try to get their Head Coach Steve Campbell on the show as a guest.

Fact is, there’s still some stuff to discuss, even if it only tangentially connects to Nebraska. For example? DID MEL TUCKER LOSE HIS DAMN MIND? We discuss the insanity that was Mel Tucker (this is real news, not that fake Laviska Shenault stuff from a couple weeks ago. We opened up July with “Well, what has Nebraska done?”

And that’s how we opened the show. Then we started writing a parody song on the spot.

Then in a healthy bit of team-building, Jon asked how Greg’s son is doing with the potty training.

We talk about some of the recent commits, some future prospects, Jon’s old age, and the Husker Hype Video.

This week on the Five Heart podcast, we get to visit with long-time Corn Nation contributor and first-time podcast guest Nathaniel Perlow. Nathaniel has been traveling abroad for some time and contributes with the Frosted Flakes each week. In this episode, we’ll learn about Nathaniel’s Husker fandom and how he came to write for Corn Nation.

We also talk about the hiring of Will Bolt as the new Husker baseball head coach, as well as Isaiah Roby possibly being taken in the second round of the NBA draft (we recorded before the draft began). And then there’s that bit about the #FakeNews out of Boulder, CO.

Andy Ketterson is here as well and that allows for some hockey (aka Canadian Soccer) talk. Did we mention the Blues won their first Stanley Cup in franchise history?

Also – Greg’s son doesn’t want to learn to use the toilet, and there’s much consternation about that. And Hoss loves his protein bar.

Jon Damn Johnston took the night off, apparently. We don’t know what happened to him. There was radio silence from Minnesota until we were almost done recording. But here’s what we have in store for you:

Husker Baseball comes up short in the Big Ten Championship.
No more Oklahoma Drill in the NFL, and why Hoss doesn’t like that drill in the first place.
Tanner Farmer signs with Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the CFL.
Husker Football and whooping that Coloradowa (Colorado/Iowa) ass.

There are a couple of Nebraska natives who are putting in the effort in the weight room. Meanwhile, Bill Moos isn’t opposed to the idea of alcohol sales in Memorial Stadium…at least parts of Memorial Stadium.

Here’s a quick rundown of the topics on this week’s show. We kick it off with a little acknowledged anger management as Hooch admits that he screwed up Mother’s Day. We talk about The Wizard of Oz, and how Jon is the All-Powerful Oz and how the Wicked Witch was equally stupid. And it must be stated that Hoss’ first gray hair was found…and swiftly dealt with.

This week, Hoss, JDJ, and Greg are joined by our Corn Nation colleague Keith Yaple to talk about the screwed up finish of the Kentucky Derby, and horse racing in general – which is a subject overall that we are not terribly familiar.

We posed the question to you – you get to take one Husker QB from anywhere in history and select them to lead the Huskers in a National Championship game. You “Use(d) Your Voice” and became a part of the show – and you can do so next week as well, just by calling (402) 327-1830.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, your favorite Corn Nation podcast that includes both a number and a vital organ, Greg, Hoss, and Jon talk about an ass-kicking Easter bunny, which is different than an Easter bunny getting its ass kicked.

We also talk about some of the recent rules changes made to our beloved college football, like blind-side blocks and targeting, as well as overtime adjustments. And Greg gives his opinion as to what would make overtime really exciting.

There’s also talk about the latest on the players who are leaving the Husker football team, without the knowledge of Quayshon Alexander.

Keith Yaple covers Nebraska Baseball for Corn Nation, and since this is Keith’s debut on the Five Heart Podcast, we get to play a little “Get to Know You.”

The Husker Baseball team was in action while we were recording the episode, so we get some live in-game reaction and analysis from Keith. Keith provides some insight on the Huskers’ season to this point, up to and including the game Wednesday night against the UNO Mavericks.

Also – Keith…kind of a gambler. He won a handsome sum of money betting on women’s college basketball.

At the end of the show, we talk a little bit about the Husker Spring Game. So make sure you stay tuned for that!

It’s an exciting week to be a Husker fan – but also depressing. This Saturday is the Spring Game, a great day for fans to fill up Memorial Stadium. But it’s also the final nail in the coffin of anything football related until Fall practices begin. And WE DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!

So in this brand new episode, we talk about the Red and White Team rosters and what Hoss hopes to see on Saturday.

We also discuss the latest news regarding RB Mo Washington and the rumors of Doc Sadler coming back to Nebraska as an assistant basketball coach.

This week on the podcast, Nebraska Men’s Hockey Club Assistant Coach Reed Fuller comes back on the show to talk about the end of the season, including the regional tournament at Dordt College in Iowa and the national tournament in Frisco, Texas.

Our chat with Reed ends with the longtime Nebrasketball fan and season ticket holder giving his thoughts on Fred Hoiberg, who was officially announced as the new Nebraska Men’s Basketball Coach this week.

The second half of the show is spent talking about Hoiberg, Isaiah Roby, beer in Illinois, and the material that will be used for Hoiberg’s statue.

There’s been a fair amount of news out of Lincoln this week, the least of which is the dismissal of Tim Miles as Men’s Basketball Head Coach. Bill Moos does well in press conferences, but has not at the time of this recording named a new head coach.

Go to www.hersheypark.com for all your Hershey Squirt needs (no poops were harmed in the making of this add).

The Husker Men’s Hockey Club went 0-3 at the National Tournament down in Frisco, TX. We hope to get Coach Reed Fuller on the show in the near future to talk about the experience.

Pass rush. Oh man, Hoss gets fired up about talking pass rush and coverage schemes. We do that out of the break while talking about Bo Pelini and why he truly failed at Nebraska.

Tim Miles and the Huskers are still playing basketball and it’s the end of March. That’s good news, right? The Huskers are up next against TCU Sunday night at 8:30pm (Central).

The Husker Hockey team boasts some All-Pacific Region players after this year.

And there’s some football talk after the break, the emergence of JoJo Domann, who you’d build your Husker team around, and the brief love affair Husker fans had with UCF and how UCF fans turned out to be bitches (paraphrasing).

Woo buddy, the Husker men’s basketball team has won three in a row, knocking off some good competition, and are continuing their trek through the Big Ten Tournament. It’s an exciting time for the fans.

The Husker Men’s Hockey Club was victorious at the regional championship last weekend, punching its ticket to the national championship tournament in Frisco, TX later this month.

As for Husker football, we discuss the expected departure of Mo Washington, as he turned himself in to California officials due to the legal situation involving him and an inappropriate video. Which prompts us all to remind you all to MAKE GOOD DECISIONS! And we talk about the ceiling for Adrian Martinez: where he could take this team and where this team could eventually take him.

Plus Bob Diaco, Nebraska weather, and phone emojis.

It’s all in this exciting and somewhat organized episode of THE FIVE HEART PODCAST!

This week on the Five Heart Podcast (now officially a member of the SB Nation Podcast Network), Hoss Reuter is BACK! And back with a vengeance. There’s talk of boots on throats (looking at you, Colorado). There’s talk of key match-ups and right timing, like getting Ohio State in September instead of November, while hosting Wisconsin towards the end of the season.

We drink Coors Banquet, the chosen beer of Hoss Reuter, and Greg makes plans to go to Champaign in the Fall for another Nebraska/Illinois game.

We talk about Spring Ball and emerging leaders in the locker room. We talk about Tim Miles’ questionable future and why fans are still hesitant to get rid of him.

But mostly, the three legs of the tripod are back and we’re ready to move forward! It’s a red and white freight train, after all!

This week on the show, Greg and JDJ are thrilled to be joined by a special guest, Nebraska Men’s Hockey Club Assistant Coach Reed Fuller.

Using the power of www.huskerhockey.com, Greg and Jon chat with Reed about the Husker Hockey Club, the program’s history and league affiliation, the players on the team, their sweet sweaters (probably the best Husker “jerseys” you can’t buy), the 2018-19 season and the upcoming post-season.

The men’s hockey club is back-to-back MACHA conference champions, plays its home games at Breslow Ice Hockey Center, and does it all pretty much out of pocket by the players.

Reed was great, and even agreed to join us (in spirit) next week for a Coors Banquet as we celebrate the return of Hoss Reuter.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, we sit down with the newest contributor to join the ranks at Corn Nation, Kade Dohmen. Kade is a UNL student set to graduate later this Spring and brings another youthful perspective to our site.

So we take a little bit of time to get to know Kade and then we talk about the Husker men’s basketball team and the comments made this week by Tim Miles. And what does Kade think can happen (best-case scenario) for the Huskers in the final weeks?

It’s Thursday night with the boys as Greg, Jon Damn Johnston, and Rick Cone discuss the latest issues of the week.

There’s been a lot happening around the Nebraska football program this week, and these topics deserve our attention.

But we also celebrate a Nebrasketball victory – their first in seven games.

And Rick is here to talk about recruiting – and that’s a positive. Rick’s sexy bald brain, plus a lot of people outside of Nebraska’s circle of sunshine pumpers, find that this recruiting class is pretty outstanding.

This week, Patrick Gerhart joins Greg and Jon “Damn” Johnston to talk about the woes that the Nebraska Men’s Basketball Team has experienced. It’s been six losses in a row, and that sucks. It’s been a season-ending injury to Isaac Copeland, and that’s even worse.

What happens the rest of the way? We don’t know – but we have theories.

Jon mentions Nebraska baseball, because he’s a glutton for punishment. And Greg hypes up 80,000+ tickets sold to the Spring Game and Devine Ozigbo being snubbed by the Combine committee. GOOD TIMES!

In all reality, I could have published this episode on Thursday and had it BEFORE the Husker women’s basketball team played Purdue.

But I 100% wasn’t that smart. That’s on me. As we got recording, and I said on the show “of course this will drop after the Purdue game,” it was locked in. So apologies and such.

In this episode, Jill Heemstra joins us and we talk about bedding cattle. But let’s face it – we know why you’re all here. To talk about the Nebraska women’s basketball team!

There are plenty of opportunities for this middle-of-the-pack team to make some upward movement before the Big Ten Tournament. But the W’s need to start happening. As I’m typing this, the Huskers are up 62-43 on the road at Purdue. That’s a great start. So we’ll see how it goes for the Scarlet and Cream clad ladies of Lincoln.

First of all, let me say this…if Devine Ozigbo or Dedrick Mills were in the Royal Rumble, I’d say either of them would win it.

Ziggy had a great showing at the East-West game, will likely get an invitation to the NFL Combine, and could be a third-round draft pick. That’s our prediction.

From the “better late than never” department, we discuss the signing of Dedrick Mills. But that’s not all – as we heard last weekend about defensive back Noa Pola-Gates’ commitment to Nebraska.

Some rather dreary news at the end of the episode, but we’ll let you find that one out on your own.

Well folks, we’re back. Fractured, but we’re back. No Hoss. No Jon Damn Johnston. But we get the Five Heart debut of Corn Nation’s youngest contributor (and hopefully a future Husker), Mitch Lohmeier.

Mitch covers Nebrasketball for CN and was recently accepted by UNL’s broadcasting school. No pressure. But he’ll do great wherever he goes. The only hang-up about this episode is a poor internet connection, which is rare these days. So we have to suffer through it. But what you get is the shortest Five Heart Podcast episode in some time. And for that, we’re sorry.

Nebraska has a bright second half in store for itself in 2019 if they come out swinging every game. After the win against Penn State this past week, it’s time to start stringing W’s together and making a run for the tournament. No time to take the foot off the gas.

I look forward to having Mitch on again in the future as he has a lot of good info in his head that I’d like to get out when the connection is better. But this week, enjoy a twenty-minute podcast.

Well, Nebraska football season is officially over. Time to “Win the Damn Off-Season” as Hoss would say. So in this episode, Hoss, Jon, and Hooch talk a little bit about the game at Iowa. We discuss the season of “what could have been” and what eventually happened.

We talk about the silliness (ie: stupidity) of the Iowa Marching Band Member who lied (I mean, the video evidence is there) and said the Husker football team did not participate in the “Wave” to the patients at the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital after the first quarter. It’s a long-standing tradition, cute gesture that Kinnick Stadium fans, the Hawkeyes, and opposing teams have practiced since all the way back in 2017. And Hoss raises a good question (one Jerkeye fans may have to face on Black Friday 2020).

Some Huskers were recognized by the Big Ten coaches and media for the accomplishments they had this season, led by departing senior Stanley Morgan Jr. So the guys go down the list of honorees, and conclude that the future is bright.

Speaking of the future, if you haven’t yet, check out the pinned tweet over at The Five Heart Podcast Twitter and vote in the poll about how Jon Damn Johnston should spend the off-season. Should he be a “rah-rah” sunshine pumper or should he play the role of the old man, contrarian curmudgeon?

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Hoss is stuck at CostCo.

I don’t think I’ve been to a Costco in about seven years.

Anyway, I’m joined by (Husker) Mike Jaixen, one of the founding father’s of Corn Nation. He’s also the first native Nebraskan during this summer series.

Learn about Mike growing up in Omaha and how he spent Husker game days as a child. Learn about Husker Mike’s favorite player(s) and hear his take on the last twenty years of coaches.

Fun fact – Husker Mike was in Miami for the ’94 Orange Bowl. So we learn about that experience, his preconceived idea of Miami fans, and Hurricane fans’ thoughts on Husker fans that night.

We are both interrupted by our respective children. So it’s a family-friendly show.

There’s a lot to discuss after last week’s Spring Game. How did the quarterbacks perform? How about the running backs? How much combined muscle mass did Zach Duval put on Devine Ozigbo and Mikale Wilbon? How electrifying was Greg Bell?

Who stood out on the defense? What are some of Hoss’ guilty pleasure songs, and why does Greg have a special place in one of his five hearts for musicals of all varieties? What sweep option play had Hoss completely baffled to the point that he sought wisdom from the Twittersphere?

I thought this was just Power Read when I was in the stadium yesterday. Martinez is reading the EMOL for the give/keep and we’re looking to trap the 4i. I’ve never seen this before in CFB. Good way to threaten the edge & control the midline. pic.twitter.com/0wjtzWHXZy

— Ryan Reuter (@HossReuter) April 22, 2018

Over all, how did the Huskers look on Saturday? How did Scott Frost handle himself and his team in his first Spring Game in Lincoln since the Spring of 1997?

Since there has been talk of changing the song for the Tunnel Walk, the guys offer their suggestions and show how old they really are.

And for the life of me, I don’t remember how I made a Homestar Runner reference, but I did. And in case you wanted to be cheaply entertained, please watch this video.

So that’s the show. Hope you enjoyed it. We had a blast recording it. And we do it for you. So keep that in mind when you head to the comments section.

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Hooch and Hoss talk about today’s Spring Game. The guys review the Red and White rosters. Who has the advantage in each position? Why do we think some of the roster decisions were made, and what does it mean for the overall depth chart going forward?

Also, Scott Frost was interviewed by Bruce Feldman for Sports Illustrated this week. While the straight-shooting coach didn’t say anything particularly inflammatory, was it particularly his place to speak out against previous administrations?

The Spring Game is mere hours away, so hopefully you have time to listen to this before the 11:00am kickoff. It has taken a Winter Frost to reignite the fires of the fanbase, as Husker fans like yourselves are expected to put more butts in seats than any other Spring Game in the country.

I tip my cap to you.

Also, and this is a serious question…who the hell (besides Hoss) mixes beer with orange juice?

And remember you can find the podcast the on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and Stitcher.

And you should know by now where to find us on social media. Expect some Spring Game thoughts on Facebook and Twitter tomorrow.

It’s time to scratch that itch! Football conversation triumphantly returns to the Five Heart Podcast as Hoss and Hooch talk about some of the news and notes from the Spring Practice.

Tanner Farmer taking snaps at Center. But he’s not alone. Young’n Will Farniok is also getting some time there. Not bad for a kid who was taking high school classes in December.

And what centers in the NFL would Hoss show to his hypothetical son, if his son were learning the art of being a center?

Due to a scheduling conundrum, you have the joy of listening to I (Greg) bring you the latest in Husker athletic news and notes. We’ll do it up right next week and get more people back on the show, but for a Saturday morning, sometimes one is enough. But fear not, my son pops in a couple times to say hi.

Here are the Husker sports that get mentioned:

• Men’s Basketball
• Women’s Basketball
• Wrestling
• Softball
• Baseball
• Beach Volleyball

I hope to get someone from the Club Hockey program on the show in the near future. If you are involved with that or know someone who is, let me know so I can get that sport on the show.

Next week we’ll talk football, because it seems like it’s been awhile since we’ve done that and I’m sure you’re all itching for it.

What is your favorite Cornhusker football victory in a non-championship season? Why did I have to get so weirdly specific there? 

Do you have one? Could you come up with a top five? That was the challenge Hoss brought to the Five Heart Podcast this week.

Nothing from 1994, 1995, or 1997.

Believe it or not, it wasn’t extremely difficult coming up with my list. And it was Hoss’ idea, so I’m guessing he already had a few in mind. Remembering specific details or the emotion of a game was easy. Getting into the nitty gritty of what the game meant in the broader picture was fun.

Also, (SPOILER ALERT!!!) Joe Bauserman pass chart!

We also got some input from the CN crew, and encourage you to leave your top 5 in the comments.

GBR and WTDG!
