The missus and I moved to Omaha for my work and we decided to go native and go to a Huskers game. We got tickets to the Nebraska v. Illinois game last night and it was like we were teleported back into Lane in the late 00s and early '10s. Everyone was on their feet the entirety of the game, the noise and intensity in the crowd was there for the entirety of the game and it felt electric. Definitely things that Lane has been missing on a regular basis for a while. The stadium was packed from kickoff to the end (Friday night top-25 matchup didn't hurt.
A couple of takeaways though:
- The LED light show at the end of the 3rd quarter was awesome. I would love to see that in Orange and Maroon
- The drone show accompanying the light show was fantastic. Again, I can imagine some of the images that VT could utilize and it would be a helluva show
- No beer sales which was interesting. I don't drink during games usually, but strange that Nebraska hasn't adopted it.
- I wish we had an O-line like either of those teams. Both teams are good, just Illinois had it all the way to the end.
