Five Heat Podcast: Happy Husker New Year! More Transfer Portal News

Tonight’s Five Heart Podcast opens like a Thursday-night bar set: loud, loose, and already a little off the rails. Greg rolls in as “the face that runs the place,” Minnie fires back with Blues Brothers/Cab Calloway chaos, and the chat jumps in to heckle like it’s front row on open mic night. Then the show turns into portal-season whiplash: tons of guys in the transfer portal, not many landing spots, and the reality that jumping in can mean falling through the cracks.

The big football meat hits with QB talk—Anthony Colandria’s UNLV numbers get rattled off with the intensity of a drummer counting in a breakdown: big passing yards, rushing scores, some sacks, but upside. They mix in O-line hope (Tree, Brendan Black, maybe more) and the eternal “where’s our D-line coach?” question.

Then it’s pure Five Heart Theater: a savage Dylan Raiola bit that’s equal parts funny and cathartic, like screaming lyrics you don’t want to relate to but do. The rest is classic: sports updates, Star Wars/Lord of the Rings fighting, Spaceballs peace talks, and Greg’s “I’m loyal to the program, not the names” rant—because portal life has turned everyone into QB1/RB1 again.

End result: chaos, laughs, and just enough roster hope to keep the amps on.
