Okay, so picture this: Nebraska, where corn is king and football gets folks all riled up. It’s all a bit of a whirlwind right now with the Huskers shaking things up. And by that, I mean saying goodbye to that traditional spring football game. Frankly, it’s like they tossed the old playbook and are winging it with some wild, new setup. Imagine the NFL Pro Bowl but strip it back to 7-on-7, throw in a bunch of skills showdowns, and voilà! The “Husker Games” are born.
Now let’s add a pinch of mayhem with soccer and volleyball matches, sprinkle in a few campus tours, and even a cheeky flag football game. Seriously, women’s flag football. It’s kinda blossoming into this big thing, and Midland University clashing with a Nebraska intramural all-star team poises for some fireworks. Girl power on the gridiron—who’d have thunk it?
But hold up. As if it wasn’t busy enough, a Nebraska cheerleader, Danielle Blum, is stealing some of that thunder. Here’s this girl, almost fresh out of her junior year (in case you’re doing the math, that means she’s eyeing senior status soon) and she’s gone viral. Blum’s been the support arm of the basketball team, leading them through the College Basketball Crown tournament in Las Vegas. Glitzy, right? Must be all that Vegas sparkle still lingering!
Honestly, Blum’s Instagram is where it’s at, with all the confetti and emojis. Go take a peek if you’re curious. But let me just side step real quick back to—right, so the whole football shift. Nebraska’s wrapping up this spring gig, eyes on an epic 2025 season. Just zoom back a bit—the last time they made a bowl splash was eight years ago! Wild.
And then there are the Cowboys cheerleaders getting their moment before the NFL Draft (waiting for the draft is like waiting for the next big superhero movie, right?). It’s all happening. And with that, I probably wandered all over, but isn’t that how you capture the real picture? A bit frantic, unpredictable, but undeniably exciting!
