Playing at home, sort of
Kurtenbach lived on a farm, and it was only Nebraska games that could bring him and his father, Dale, in from the fields on Saturdays.
“That was fun, just being around the family,” Kurtenbach said. “That was an integral part of life.”
BBbboooo“Everybody just cheers for Nebraska. Everybody is a fan and they travel to every game that they can,” Brown said. “It’s like an event. The whole town shuts down when it’s a Nebraska game.”
.“My dad has probably been the biggest influence in my life and I try to follow in his footsteps as much as I can. I just made a detour of where I’m going to school,” Brown said, adding that his dad would be wearing blue on Saturday, despite his loyalties to Nebraska
“It’s probably one of the best places to play,” Kurtenbach said. “When you run out there, there’s this sea of red and it’s so loud. It’s a great opportunity to be there down on the field. Very few people get that chance and it’s a blast.”
