Team Jack ... and the Huskers

Sheesh ... it's not even football season yet and here is my second post on the Huskers. But the timeliness of it cannot be denied. Last night EPSN awarded the ESPY  (nearly wrote ETSY ... but that would be another blog, too) to Jack Hoffman ... or "Team Jack" and his appearance at the Red/White Spring game here in Lincoln. ESPY apparently stands for Excellence in Sports Peformance Yearly. There are those who would argue that LeBron James and the Heat stole the show last night ... but I think that Jack and the Nebraska Husker Spring Game won hands down.

The Spring Game ... the Red/White Game ... yes, I was there. Yes, I was on my feet cheering. Yes, I had tears streaming down my face. But a word of explanation ... it's not like just a "few" people attend the Spring Game. If  Memorial Stadium's newest addition had been open, 90,000 people might have been there. 

As it was ... over 60,000 fans were there, cheering for the Huskers. Yes, you read that right. Sixty THOUSAND fans attend the Red/White game ... and not one came because there was going to be something special going on ... because there is always something special going on. [Editorial note: what I usually love the most is listening to Rob and his friends size up the new kids on the block and give them a thumbs-up-or-down. Yes, the bleacher coaches are always full of misinformation.]

But Jack Hoffman, a very young man suffering from brain cancer ... took the stadium both by surprise and by storm. So as not to spoil one minute of this awesome video, I can only say ... watch it for the best few minutes of your life. No hyperbole. Just the facts, m'am.
