When Nebraska celebrated the 20th reunion of its 1997 National Championship football team Saturday night inside the southeast corner of Memorial Stadium, HuskerVision and Media Relations collaborated on back-to-back Tunnel Walks that produced goose bumps, meaningful memories and incomparable roars.

The highpoint in my mind, however, was Grant Wistrom, Nebraska’s iconic rush end who addressed the team Saturday and then led the Huskers in their fabled pre-game prayer inside the North Stadium entrance. The explosion of energy prior to the nationally televised kickoff against Big Ten power Wisconsin was a 10+ in my mind.
