Five Heart Podcast: Top Husker Plays, Fan Memories, and Fireworks

In this lively episode of the Five Heart Podcast, host Minnie kicks off the show solo while Greg arrives fashionably late. With help from Husker Chuck and several other Holgor-Maniacs, the gang dives into a Mount Rushmore of the most iconic plays in Nebraska football—at least within each fan’s era of fandom.

Husker Chuck recalls Corey Schlesinger’s second touchdown in the 1995 Orange Bowl, Alex Henery’s 57-yard field goal in 2008, and even a bone-jarring hit in the 1978 win over Oklahoma. James and Joe submit their picks, including Johnny Rodgers’ 1971 punt return, the “Flea Kicker,” the “Fumblerooski,” and Levante David’s strip of Braxton Miller.

Greg reveals his personal top four, which includes Tommy Hill’s 2023 pick-six against Colorado. Minnie, proudly representing newer fans, lists more emotional moments like the red-light show at Memorial Stadium and Dylan Raiola’s commitment.

The show blends humor, Husker nostalgia, and strong community vibes. Fans relive great moments while good-naturedly teasing Minnie for her unconventional picks—especially when she lists “fireworks” as a favorite play. Up next week: Boneheaded Husker plays.
