It's time for this week’s episode of the Huskers Happy Hour! And we’re not too damn happy at all, are we? Oh no, we’re not. In about 10 days, we’ve gone from that scrappy ball team who owns the 4th quarter and was thinking about 10 wins or so to a group who just got steamrolled by a mid-Minnesota squad for a 6th straight loss to P.J.

So we’ve got plenty to talk about, am I right?

Oh yes, we do! The offensive line can’t block and the defense can’t tackle. And it sounds like Northwestern is cut from the same cloth as Minnesota, so that game may not be the break they thought it would when the season started.

But hey, let’s talk about it now that we’ve had a couple days to calm down, shall we? Or have we?

There may not have been many positives from last Friday's game at Minnesota, but we'll scour the stats and find something to cheer.

And if it's not from last week, we'll go back to the five victories of the season and find some reason to smile.

Nebraska is 5-2. Win one game and you match last week's regular-season win total. Win two games and guess what...improvement!

At the end of the day, you either support the team or you don't. You can criticize, but it should be constructive. Look, being a Husker fan carries a tremendous amount of pride, but a burden as well. You can't just flippantly say "this/that/the other thing sucked." You need to have an alternative idea.

No, we're not coaches. No, we can't affect change. Neither did most of those petitions over at change dot org. So we support. It's the best use of our time and effort.

And GO BIG RED...always.

In this episode of Monday Night Therapy, hosts Minnie and Fred open the “Husker Hope Hotline” to process Nebraska’s humiliating 24–6 loss to Minnesota. The duo describe the defeat as one of the worst under Matt Rhule, marked by offensive line breakdowns, poor communication, and a lack of grit that contradicted the program’s supposed progress. They vent about mental mistakes, ejections, and coaching failures, while debating whether offensive line coach Donovan Raiola deserves to stay given his limited success developing players. Minnie presents a chart showing years of thin recruiting and poor depth, while Fred argues the unit still lacks cohesion and leadership.

The conversation shifts to NIL disparities and coaching contrasts with Minnesota’s PJ Fleck, whom they credit for maximizing modest talent. They lament Nebraska’s inability to execute “basic football,” questioning whether Rhule’s staff can truly develop players in the modern era. The hosts defend quarterback Dylan Raiola’s toughness despite constant pressure, worrying he might waste his talent behind a failing line. Still, they end on a hopeful note, recalling Nebraska’s 1996 rebound after an early shutout loss, and urging fans to regroup before facing Northwestern. Despite the pain, Minnie and Fred reaffirm their loyalty to Husker Nation and each other.
