Twenty minutes before last Saturday’s annual Nebraska Red-White Spring Football Game, Jan Berringer and Drue Lovgren surveyed Memorial Stadium’s 20-yard line in the Northwest corner of Tom Osborne Field.
A record 83 Brook Berringer Citizenship Award winners were the focus for 78,320 Husker fans. Jan, Brook’s mom, looked at Drue, Brook’s sister. They smiled together and came to a joint conclusion – the late Brook Berringer, Jan’s son and Drue’s brother, had the best seats in the house on this glorious Saturday afternoon.
