In this lively episode of Monday Night Therapy, Minnie Hunt is joined by Fred Sacco and a vibrant chat community to reflect on former Nebraska football coaches and current Big Ten storylines. The show kicks off with playful banter about vintage Husker gear, before diving into a retrospective on coaches like Scott Frost, Mike Riley, Bo Pelini, and Bill Callahan—where they are now and whether their post-Husker careers redeemed their time in Lincoln. The segment also explores the highs and lows of Nebraska’s coaching carousel and the emotional toll of years of “dead money” payouts.

Viewers share laughs and vent frustrations over Wisconsin’s brutal 2024 schedule and head coach Luke Fickell’s uncertain future. Other topics include quarterback rankings—highlighting Dylan Raiola’s #3 Big Ten spot—plus chat praise for Garrett Nelson, Tommy Armstrong Jr., and Tommy Frazier’s post-football careers. The mood is a mix of nostalgia, gallows humor, and cautious optimism as fans hope Matt Rhule brings stability and success.

Special guest Jackson joins late to represent Alabama fandom and draw parallels between Nebraska’s rebuilding efforts and Bama’s historic transition post-Bear Bryant. The show ends with heartfelt community vibes, dog cameos, and reminders that in Husker Nation, the hunt matters as much as the prize.

In this lighthearted and laughter-filled episode of the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie celebrate a trio of birthdays: Minnie’s middle daughter who turned 13, America’s birthday, and Greg’s upcoming birthday—all while embracing the off-season Husker vibes. The crew dives deep into a uniquely Husker tradition: reliving bonehead plays that, in hindsight, no longer hurt. From Scott Frost’s infamous onside kick call in Ireland to Jake Cotton’s slow-motion false start and the 2021 punt to the wrong side of the field, they revel in shared suffering with the chat.

A surprise highlight of the night is the debut of a patriotic-themed Five Heart Theatre sketch featuring “Uncle Sam” (Minnie) and “Coach Tom Osborne” (Greg), which earns rave reviews from the live audience. The duo also celebrates a growing 2025 recruiting class, notably recent WR and OL commits, and debates when Nebraska might contend for a Big Ten title again—settling on 2026 or 2027.

Amid sips of beer, chat antics, and birthday gifts, the show is a blend of nostalgia, optimism, and a rallying cry to keep believing. As Minnie puts it: “We’re moving forward.” And Greg? He’s just hoping we all remember that five heart is all the heart you need.

It’s that loveably goofy story of Shane Falco and his band of scab misfits who win the hearts of local fans during a player strike. Because that always happens.

It’s time to take a deep dive at a picture starring an actor best known for playing former Ohio State quarterbacks who are dealing with the next stage of their lives after taking the Buckeyes to a New Years Day bowl game.

That’s right! It’s Keanu Reeves, this time in The Replacements as Shane Falco, whose disastrous Sugar Bowl performance led him to a life scrubbing barnacles off boats instead of NFL glory.

Could one bad game cause a player to go from surefire draft pick to not even being signed as a free agent? I mean, even Shedeur went in the 5th round after telling GM’s to get out of his way and let him run the franchise.

It doesn’t matter. In this weird universe, the players are going to strike and the fans are ready to embrace scab ball and they need a hero who says “Whoa”. So join us tonight as we review an American classic with an American hero in The Replacements. And remember to jump into comments to participate even it’s just to sound off with a Go Big Red to let us know you’re there.
