The barrier of cheerleaders meant to funnel Nebraska players and coaches off the field didn’t stand a chance against Mick Stoltenberg. The barrier broke around him like water around a rock as he pumped his hands in the air toward the fans in north stadium.
I don’t think he even noticed. Or he didn’t care.
Instead of walking back toward the tunnel into the warm locker room, Stoltenberg ignored the blowing snow and the falling temperatures. He took the fans in one last time.
Yesterday was Mick Stoltenberg’s last game in Memorial Stadium.
