Dani Busboom Kelly: "I saw a quote.. 'Nebraska doesn't forget their own'... I will be really surprised if any Nebraskans are cheering for Texas on Saturday."
FEEL GOOD MOMENT: After winning a state championship, Lincoln Pius X's Charlie Easley took off his medal & gave it to Hayden Higgins.
Hayden is a senior student manager who has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
"He's motivated us, inspired us, and taught us to be better people."
Find me a college basketball coach with a better sense of humor than Tim Miles.
Here are some of his best, most off-the-wall quotes as Nebraska's head coach.

Brady. Gronk. Suh.
Tampa is about to get a lot of national attention. And hopefully the exposure allows everyone to realize how good Lavonte David is. Most underrated player in the NFL.
"Its a celebration of volleyball in this state... Its unbelievable from a state of 1.8 million people that we have this level of volleyball. The other great thing... How many Nebraska girls were on the court tonight? In some ways, its mind-boggling."
-Nebraska HC John Cook

Zac Taylor says he raced out of the Bengals' facility following their AFC North-clinching win on Sunday. Rushed to his son's basketball game, went to bench during halftime, put an AFC North Champions hat on his head.

Merritt Beason holds back tears following Nebraska's loss in the NCAA Championship.
"I told the team in the locker room that this team is so special. There's 14 girls that are obviously great volleyball players, but they're even greater people. You don't find that."
"Everybody was downstairs hooting and hollering. I was up in my room by myself. I'll be honest, I got a little emotional."

Teachers are heroes. Beyond educating our children, they seem to have limitless grace & patience. With students home nation-wide, and academic responsibilities placed upon parents, we’re about to get a better understanding how amazing teachers are.

Nebraska edge Caleb Tannor: "These fans got a lot to look forward to. There's gonna be big things coming. Its a nucleus and that thing is growing. Its like a tumor, really. A good tumor, though. Not a bad tumor. A good tumor... when they explode this place is gonna be rocking."
More from Whipple:
"We could win the West... You're in first place - act like it and play like it... If we don't get there I'm not going to be here anyways! We win the West, I'll ride Mickey's coattails."

The Hastings Little League team is recognized during the Nebraska vs. Ohio State team. AND THEN ALEX GORDON JOINS THEM ON THE FIELD!
The players' reactions are great.
Rhule on Malachi Coleman: "I love the fact that Malachi's goal in his life is to make other people's lives better. That's way more important to me than the 10.3 that he runs, though I think that's pretty cool, too."

Seven Nebraska fans just casually walked into Maryland Stadium, took a few pictures on the 50 yard line & began chanting “Go Big Red.” Took about ten minutes before a security guard told them to get off of the field.

A lot of people can learn from Alex Gordon’s MLB career: Struggled early, demoted, & asked to switch positions. Said okay, worked his tail off, & stayed loyal.
