Carl Nicks' pregame intro a crowd pleaser

Nexus

All-American
During every nationally televised NFL game the starting offensive and defensive players give a quick introduction, giving their name and school attended.

Hopefully this ends the dumb debate of people being offended by the non shout-outs to Nebraska
Only in Nebraska will something like him not mentioning UNL would it make news (on a message board).... I don't blame the guy for wanting to give a shoutout to all of his schools, I think that we are all atleast somewhat proud of our high schools, etc.... It wasn't a big deal, but I would be lying if I said I didn't notice it last week....

I'd rather have him say Nebraska, but his HS and Juco helped build his success as well.

 
I'll be tuning in just to see who the players rep. It's a very important aspect of the game.
lol. Yeah, who cares what happens after you find out what their uniforms look like and hear what school each player is rep'n. :lol:

It's not just Nebraska Fan doing this. Pretty much every fan base has someone concerned with this stuff. We are neither unique in this regard nor immune to the foibles of vanity.
