I learned how to read this when I was the pilot for the Nebuchadnezzar on our way back to Zion. It says something about a 7 year old taking a 68 yard touchdown back in their spring game.

Edit: This was funnier when it was just code up there. Now I just sound wierd.

At this point its more mainstream cool than hipster cool.  The hipster cool phase happened another day that Michigan wasn't playing a national championship game.

Not news... this was all over every news outlet, including ESPN, all weekend ad nauseum.

With that said, it did get very dusty in my living room when I first saw this story... damn allergies. Good for Nebraska

The unexpected good thing about this event that while really cool thing for the Huskers to do for the kid, this video is winning the Top Video replay ever on ESPN.  That means we won't have to watch Clowney knock Vincent Smith's head, (helmet,) off every week.

I also really like that Nebraska made his run part of the official stats for the Spring Game and, even better, it was the longest run of the day. Although this thread has appeared once or twice in the intervening time since Saturday, I think we can let this particular one stand - it's been a few days and it is an awesome, touching story. Many kudos to Nebraska and congratulations to Jack Hoffman on his first official collegiate TD.

secretly hoping that one of the players would clothesline the kid just before he crossed the goal line?

OK, maybe it was just me, then.
