Minnie Hunt opens “Monday Night Therapy” with Fred Sacco and Fred’s dog Willie as the crew gears up for Nebraska’s final game of 2025, the Las Vegas Bowl against Utah. The mood is a mix of relief and cautious optimism: as fans, they feel the team is “limping across the finish line,” but they also see the bowl as the start of next season—extra practices, player evaluations, and a chance for new coaches to get real film on players.

They discuss why Nebraska might have an edge: Utah’s opt-outs and injuries (especially in the trenches) could matter, and Nebraska’s own absences feel less damaging. They’re excited to finally see backup running backs, a faster tempo, and the “X-factor” of a simplified approach under new staff influence. They also recap bowl-week events in Vegas and laugh about Matt Rhule’s hat-backwards “gimmick” and social-media images.
The conversation veers into Michigan hiring Kyle Whittingham and fanbase “self-soothing,” before returning to Nebraska’s mindset: as underdogs with nothing to lose, the Huskers should play freer. They close by reading fan score predictions, joking around with Greg, and setting expectations simply: just look decent—and enjoy the trip.
