Corn Nation: for Nebraska Cornhuskers fans SB Nation

This week on the the show, it’s a mild audible. Our intent was to have the one and only Hoss Reuter on the show to break down the Nebraska Spring Game. But Hoss has been under the weather this week so we are putting a pin in his input until next week. 
We will have our own review of the Red/White game in which the White Squad won 25-21. The format of the game was different than in years past which provided a fresh viewing experience. 
And while the Nebraska baseball team was swept in its season series Tuesday night against Creighton, Jackson Brockett put the squad on his back for Nebraska’s first complete-game no-hitter since the Eisenhower administration en route to an 8-0 win over Kansas State. 

No description given. But I assure you...Nebraska Cornhusker softball is discussed. 

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, Greg and Minnie will prepare you for the annual Red White Game this Saturday in Lincoln. 
What are we looking for from the game? Will the running backs pass protect? How will the wide receivers look in press coverage? Who will stand out on the offensive line and will Danny Dimes be crowned the starting QB before or after halftime? 
And that’s just on the offensive side of the ball. 
Speaking of, which side of the ball do you “root for” in the Spring Game? Do you want to see the offense light it up or does that give you doubts about the defense? Do you want the defense to be dynamic and shut down the offense or does that make you lose confidence in that side of the ball? No wrong answers, just curious. 
It’s the night of the NFL Draft, so we will take a few minutes to visit with Corn Nation’s Brian Johannes to discuss the possibility of any Huskers being drafted, or where the rumors indicate they may fall in the undrafted free agent market. 
We’ll hit some news and notes from around college sports, including but not limited to some football and basketball transfer portal acquisitions and the roller coasters that are Colorado’s football roster and Reggie Bush’s Heisman Trophy journey. 

Join us on Corn Nation’s You Tube channel tonight for Husker Heat as we review a disappointing weekend in Ann Arbor, talk a little Iowa doubleheader as that will likely be winding up during the show and look ahead to this weekend where things don’t get any easier.
Northwestern currently sits a 1⁄2 game in front of Michigan for 1st place in the Big 10, a spot they’ve occupied for most of the last few years. We’ll let you know who to watch out for.

Mitch Sherman of The Athletic will join me tonight.
There is a lot to ask of Mr. Sherman. He’s been places. He’s seen things.
Like Nebraska football practice. Dylan Raiola and Danny Kaelin in action, one presumes.
I think the number one question I want to ask him is, disregarding the players, what do you think is the biggest difference between last year and this year that you’ve seen and the little bit that you’ve had of being around the team?
He has to talk a little bit about Dylan Raiola and the quarterbacks. Obviously the biggest thing is the quarterbacks.
Matt Rule, in his role as a CEO type coach, what is he like at practice? Does he really let the coaches coach the players? Does he intervene like a benevolent dictator? Or does he watch from afar?
Is that the kind of coach Matt Rule is? Is he really hands-on? Is he hands-on with his assistants? How does he lead?

This week on the show, the Panel discusses the wide receiver room. 
Jaylen Lloyd. Malachi Coleman. Alex Bullock. Isaiah Garcia-Castaneda. Jahmal Banks. 
While there’s a fair amount of depth behind this quintet, there’s not a lot of experience. So who steps up? Who is ready to go? 
Nebraska returns over 75% of production from last year. How does that fit in with Matt Rhule’s philosophy? 
Two Big Ten schools had their spring games this past weekend. What took place in Columbus and West Lafayette? How many people attended? Does spring game attendance matter? 
And finally, RedditCFB came across the “leaked” super league proposed for college football? What does that look like and is it likely to take place?
