'Last Tunnel Walk' Makes Way to Memorial Stadium

[Mavric]

Omaha artist Ashley Spitsnogle calls her painting “The Last Tunnel Walk,” and her talents have already raised at least $12,000 for Heartfelt Incorporated, a nondenominational grief support organization for parents who have experience the death of a child.

On Wednesday, two prints of her work, featuring Brook Berringer putting his hand on the back of Sam Foltz as the two beloved Huskers walk into a bright light at the end of Nebraska’s famed Tunnel Walk, arrived at the Nebraska Athletics Department.

One print will hang on the seventh floor of North Stadium, and the other either along the Tunnel Walk or in the glass trophy cases in the North Stadium lobby.

Sam Foltz’s parents, Gerald and Jill Foltz, Nebraska Director of Athletics Bill Moos, Nebraska Associate Athletic Director for Football Matt Davison, Heartfelt president Sharon Dickenson and Nebraska Director of Licensing & Branding Lonna Henrichs joined Spitsnogle and members of her family as the prints made their way to Memorial Stadium.

Damn, must be something in the paint, because my allergies are acting up now.

Great memorial to two great players and donations going to a great cause. Can't get better than that, right?

Really, really awesome piece that is going to raise a ton of money for a terrific cause.

What a coincidence- mine instantly kicked in, too.

@Dilly Dilly and @VectorVictor, it must be a pandemic because I am experiencing the same symptoms all the way up here in Idaho.

Puts a big lump in the throat and moisture on the cheek.

I stole this from Adam Carriker

This picture of Brook Berringer and Sam Foltz titled “The Last Tunnel Walk” that will hang inside Memorial Stadium is really well done.

I looked through that artist's website.. She's got some nice stuff. Also really liked the Scott Frost "Return" painting she did but some of her non Nebraska football stuff is cool too.
