Nebraska Part 3: HUSKER POWER!!!

Because Husker Nation is one of my favorite topics, I thought it would be a good time to debut my blogging skills. Here's Ali and I at memorial stadium before kickoff of the NU vs. OU game.










This is Ali's version of 'throwing up the bones' to represent a 3 and out by the Blackshirt Defense






Here we are with Aunt Kay and Jeff at the tailgate before the game. Nothing like sporting your shorts for a 7:00 pm kickoff in November!











Enjoying a tailgating beverage with cousins Drew, Luke, and Seth.







This was our view of "Mecca" from our tailgating spot







"Blue.........42...........down.........set.........

Ali and I working on the center exchange in the tunnel!!









This was on the wall outside the locker room. Dad and I didn't coordinate our 'blackshirt' uniforms, but we thought we looked pretty tough standing next to the logo!








Sneaking a peak of the walk through from the press box.......we stole some signals from the OU team and passed them down to Coach Pelini.









This is where Ali was hoping to catch a glimpse of her other 'boyfriend', Kirk Hirbstreit before kickoff.






Practicing our postgame interview skills in the media room.




On the field during the Husker walk through on Friday night.








Me and aunt Kay at the indoor practice facility.







Ali and I thought this was so cool!! It is a list of all the Husker Walk Ons, the ones that became starters and the ones that went on to the NFL! This was also just outside the locker room.







Anyone for some 'bowling'...........these are banners showing all of the bowl appearances over the years for the Huskers!








Another shot of the indoor practice facility.






Here are some shots of the Husker weightroom. Everywhere you looked there were reminders of the steep tradition and history of Nebraska football!





















Me and my buddy, Dr. Tom Osborne!





















The Lucky Horseshoe that the players touch as they're coming out of the locker room.













Another shot on the field during the walk through Friday afternoon.







When you walk into the Stadium, you are greeted by the National Championship trophies!







This is the best entrance in all of college football...bar none. Gives me goosebumps everytime.





Here is a great clip of the rest of the tunnel walk:
