A man called me at work today wanting to talk Husker football, and when I reassured him I was a member of the sports department, he started the conversation saying, “well you might not understand this because you’re a woman...” 🙄
Still happens, guys.
No break from football even on the bye week. 🏈

Head coach Rhonda Revelle shared on the BTN broadcast that Caitlynn Neal's father passed away last fall, and today is his birthday.
Neal hit a grand slam today. Her teammates embraced her with huge hugs after. Special moment. ♥️

with a proclamation commemorating her athletic and academic achievements. December 21, 2021 is Lexi Rodriguez day in Sterling.
This is what the outfield looks like 30 minutes before first pitch between Nebraska and Arkansas. Absolutely insane.
