Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule demonstrated why college sports can be so much fun on Tuesday night.
The Cornhuskers (13–3) upset No. 1 Purdue (14–2) in Lincoln, 88–72, and the students stormed the court at Pinnacle Bank Arena to celebrate defeating the top-ranked team. Joining the rush of humanity from the seats was the school’s head football coach.
Someone in a leadership position at a school might not be expected to join in the fun with the student body, but Rhule showed that he’s part of the Huskers community by running onto the floor with his daughter after the buzzer sounded.
