We've waited yrs for this moment, but my wife just bought 3 tix to NU-Fordham so Alex will be going to his 1st ever
@HuskerFBNation
game.
We'll have 🎧 on hand & anytime he needs to take a break from it all, he'll take one. Just a very proud papa right now. GBR!

I want to thank my wife Kathy & mother-in-law Charlene for this great Christmas gift. They took about 20 of my old Nebraska related t-shirts and turned them into this great quilt. An awesome way to reuse them & wow is it WARM too!
Merry Christmas everyone!

After a brave fight w/cancer, I lost my father today. I’ll have plenty of time in the weeks & months ahead to think about how much I miss him, but I just want to say thank you for letting me be lucky enough to call you Dad.
Love you Pops,
Matt
For those not aware, my wife & I have an awesome 7 year old son Alex who is on the
#autism
spectrum. He has made huge improvements with speech, eye contact, etc. & is also doing much better around larger crowds.
So gulp, just went ahead & got 3 tix to the NU Spring Game.

It’s Northern Illinois week.
The last time I saw a game in Memorial Stadium was Minnesota last year with my dad. Never could I have imagined that it would be the last Husker game we would watch together.
Like any parent, this kiddo here means the world to me. At age 4, he was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum.
I dedicate today to the many wonderful teachers, specialists, friends/family & so many others who show him so much love every day.
Happy

So let’s get this straight.
Rutgers beat Mich St who beat Michigan who destroyed Minnesota who just lost to Maryland who got destroyed by Northwestern who is down by 17 early to Iowa who lost to Purdue who beat Illinois who lost to Wisky who chooses not to play.
Your 2020 B1G!
Sitting at Dads desk to go through some stuff on his computer when I see this on the side of his filing cabinet.
The world would be a better place if we all just lived by these simple rules.
What’s one of your most prized Husker possessions? My parents bought me this Husker helmet phone from Oak View Mall in Omaha the weekend it opened back in the early 90s. GBR!
How cool is this! Thanks to
@bmclaughlin4
for setting it up so Alex could meet some of the Huskers tonight and get a team ⚾️ to take home. He was a little overwhelmed by it all but was super excited as we walked back to the car.
GBR!
Breaking down Alex’s passing form at Husker Heroes today. Thank you so much to the
@Huskers
for hosting this annual event inside Memorial Stadium. GBR!
GREATEST HUSKER WEEKEND!!!

What else, there has to be more. This is AWESOME!!!
So proud to be a Husker fan…GBR!!!
Walking around Memorial Stadium this morning and proud to say, I’m not the only one in red who came down to pay respect to what should have been Gameday.
❤️ Husker Nation.
Had an awesome lunch at the training table & tour of the stadium today to celebrate our families name reveal on the donor wall for Dad’s memorial.
A huge thanks to
@RedcastRob
for putting the memorial together and to
@TylerJonKai
for everything today.
GBR!
Just got back from Raising Canes.
The staff thought I was Coach Rhule. I tried to let them down, but they didn’t believe me. Even stopped us when leaving to take a photo (
@VoodooGBR
can vouch).
Anyhoo, if you’re ever near 48th & R
@CoachMattRhule
stop by & say hi to them…GBR!

' first scrimmage of spring ball. 👀
(2/2) It’s a big deal because when we last took him to a spring game (2017), he didn’t make it through the tunnel walk/fireworks. In fact after that we couldn’t even drive by the stadium without “bad memories” coming back. But he seems ready to want to try it again. Proud of him!
Thank you so much to everyone for your thoughts and comments so far. My family and I are overwhelmed (in a good way) from all of the support.
Here is Dad’s obituary. RIP Pops ❤️
Oh…and GBR (he’d want to hear one more of those).

20 years ago today, I proposed to Kathleen on the 50-yard line at Memorial Stadium. I can't believe it has been that long already, but I feel so blessed & lucky that she said yes!
PS: A huge thanks to my buddy Lance who worked at HuskerVision at the time & made it all possible.
This kiddo barely spoke any words at age 4. Now (age 7) he says the Pledge of Allegiance each morning and you can’t keep him quiet most days. Further proof of the importance of early diagnosis and treatment for autism.

In our house, we had 3 people watching the game on 1 device. Makes you wonder, with 20,000+ live viewers logged in, how many Huskers fans were actually "in attendance".
Tough end to the season today for Husker ⚾️. As always, I feel for the seniors who are hanging up their cleats w/NU.
That is even more meaningful this year as 2 of those seniors,
@E_fry25
&
@__2shay
, took time after a game to meet w/Alex.
Best wishes to all of the guys. GBR!
My wife graduated today with her degree in Psychology (Early Childhood Development) today. So very proud of her for never giving up!

Another great CFB stadium on the

I said on the Redcast a couple wks back with
@VoodooGBR
that NU's consistent leadership from top to bottom was refreshing to see, and that it could get messy at places (specifically Michigan) where that hasn't been the case.
Well...paging
