Eric the Red Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 http://www.huskers.c...0&db_oem_id=100 Pint-Sized Hero Poster Child for NU's Program What America has here is a pint-sized national hero who's stolen hearts across the country. He's become a catalyst for a program with college football’s best overall record over the past 50 years, not to mention home for an unprecedented 325 consecutive home game sellouts. Talk about positive brand awareness. Here are a dozen ways Jack is representing Nebraska, Husker football, Big Red fans and pediatric brain cancer: 1) Jack becomes the game’s leading rusher on one magical play. 2) Jack receives the game ball in the locker room from Coach Pelini. 3) Jack becomes the No. 1 video “Play of the Day” on ESPN. 4) Jack is swarmed by Nebraska media, warmed by national response. 5) ESPN played, replayed and kept Jack prominent in its rotation. 6) ESPN.com headline asks: “Is Jack’s touchdown the greatest one ever?” 7) Kirk Herbstreit: "One of the coolest things I've seen in a long time." 8) Erin Andrews of Fox Sports to nearly 1.8 million Twitter followers: “I love Nebraska, Bo Pelini, and the fball team for allowing that little fan to have a moment like that today!" 9) Actress Alyssa Milano to 2.4 million followers: “OMG! MUST see! Tiny cancer survivor scores in Nebraska's spring game & Nebraska goes NUTS” 10) ESPN’s Scott Van Pelt tweets how "a 7-year-old named Jack Hoffman & Nebraska reminded us why we love them.” 11) ESPN’s Stuart Scott and Colin Cowherd and SI.com’s Stewart Mandel follow suit. Warning: "Keep a tissue nearby". 12) Larry the Cable Guy tweets that “Jack got-r-done!!” and “made a lot of people happy today. Tell him Mater was cheering him on.” 2 Quote Link to comment
