The One Play Game

 My work has six season tickets for the Nebraska football games and I can request to use them.  I asked if anyone was using the tickets for the first game and no one had requested them.  Therefore, I asked for four tickets for the first game against Akron.
 The varsity volleyball team had a tournament that day at Columbus Scotus, so, Keith, Erica, Ashlin and Justin were going to stop at the tournament and watch for awhile before heading to Lincoln for the game.
 The weather forecast for the football did not look good. But, it was Scott Frost's first game as the new coach for his alma mater, plus it was a night game and everyone knew that Memorial Stadium would be rocking.
 After watching volleyball that morning, Erica wasn't feeling the best, so, Keith asked a another Dad at the game if he would like to join them at the game.
 Gale has a friend that does the fireworks at the football games and that is how Justin got up on the roof of the stadium for an awesome view.





 Justin also got to go in the broadcast booth and see how things work behind the scenes.
 They got to see the new re-vamped tunnel walk of the players coming out from the locker room.  They saw two Norfolk Catholic football players on the field for a recruiting visit.  Ethan Piper has already committed to play for the Huskers next year.  Dillon Kautz is being looked at to play for the Huskers.
The game lasted for one play - the kick off, before lightning was sighted and the game was on a weather delay. The storms kept rolling through the area and after a few hours the game was cancelled.  Even if the game was only one play, they all agreed that they had a blast!

Take care,
Michelle
