between a world record 92,003 vb crowd, 3 court storms, 4 conf championships & more this has been a wild year for the Big Red.
with great success comes great responsibility tho & this Corn Crib crew stepped up to the occasion in a big way all year long.
couldn’t be more proud.
driving home from the stadium I saw a number of front yards with kids running around playing football, smiles across their faces.
truly remarkable how much football means to this state.

Was outside working on my car, 30 seconds later we’re in a whirlwind of debris. Tons of damage in our neighborhood. Stay safe everyone!

Honestly I don’t know how to describe today.
What I do know is this creative team poured their heart & soul into showing the world how big this event was.
@izzypinedaa

There is NO PLACE like Nebraska.
Administration here at Nebraska gets it:
▸ It takes a team to successfully run social media.
▸ It takes a team to sustainably create content.
With that said, I’m excited to announce we’re expanding our digital team with four new positions & they're open now.

made for a pretty special experience for the SAs who thought they were just being interviewed 😎
by far, one of the most incredible moments i've witnessed here at nebraska. 🥹
the story of how the world responded needed to be told.

wrapped up EOY reviews with our students today & this quote from a 4-year vet on their time in the Corn Crib really hit the feels:
