Dan Cash: Blogging From Lincoln, Nebraska

by Dan Cash

It’s Friday morning in Lincoln, Nebraska and the Broncos are set to get into town later this afternoon. So far there is an interesting dynamic at work here before game day. Nebraska fans apparently begin arriving at the crack of dawn on Saturday and maintain positive Nebraska chants throughout.

In watching the local television stations this week I was shocked at the amount of Nebraska coverage in this market. It is Nebraska 1st, 2nd and 3rd stories for the tv crews. These guys are not only covering the game…they are covering the Huskers families their friends and exactly why it is so great to be a Cornhusker.

Lincoln appears to be somewhat of a quiet unassuming town right now…but I am told it gets out of control on game day…I’m looking forward to seeing the transformation. I was struck when arriving Thursday evening at the amount of Nebraska everywhere.

From the tv weather forecasts featuring an N on Saturdays forecast, to pictures of Nebraska-Oklahoma and Tom Osborne adorning the front lobby of my hotel room…these men and women truly bleed Huskers.

I’ll be blogging all day from Lincoln including video blogs from just outside Memorial Stadium coming before 2 this afternoon. So stay tuned to ESPN 1660.COM for the latest updates from Lincoln.
