About this listen

The Five Heart Podcast returns with hosts Greg and Minnie welcoming fall camp and counting down three weeks to Nebraska’s season opener against Cincinnati at Arrowhead Stadium. They discuss enduring Phoenix heat, fun experiments like cooking eggs on sidewalks, and then shift to Husker volleyball news. Nebraska is ranked No. 1 in the preseason AVCA poll, and former head coach John Cook has been named co-owner and GM of the Omaha Supernovas in the newly merged U.S. professional volleyball league.

Football talk centers on new defensive coordinator John Butler, praised for his no-nonsense style, high standards, and commitment to playing talented transfers like Marquise Watson-Trent. Defensive line prospects Riley Van Poppel and Elijah Judy are highlighted as successors to Ty Robinson and Nash Hutmacher. The hosts discuss fall camp limitations—only nine full-pad practices—and Butler’s emphasis on fundamentals and communication.

The conversation turns playful as Greg challenges Minnie’s tendency to compliment other Big Ten teams, sparking humorous “fan treason” debates in the live chat. They also touch on quarterback Dylan Raiola’s potential, cutting turnovers, and team conditioning. As always, the Holger Maniacs in chat provide lively side commentary, making the episode a blend of football analysis, Husker pride, and good-natured banter.
