Rhule at the basketball game

[Blackshirtmark]

This has probably been discussed already and I appologize if it has. The news of Rhule storming the court with his daughter last night put a huge smile on my face. Whatever happens in the long run I have to say that you don't find many coaches who would go and do that at a game. Also his going to the Polar Bear's match shows how much he cares about the athletes. He already has been to a bunch of Nebraska sporting events which I think is pretty awesome.

I think he made the choice to embrace the whole experience when he came to Nebraska - especially with a family at the age they also can participate with him. It's a good look - no doubt about it.

When Coach Rhule said he and his family were going to embrace the community here, he meant it.

Let's be honest: A football coach's involvement in other sports at most Big Dawg schools, wouldn't engender the kind of reaction Coach Rhule's getting from Husker fans. The jury is still out on his program-building at Nebraska. But it is pretty evident that Coach -- like outsider Bob Devaney before him -- has come a long way to becoming "One Of Us."

I'd rather have an average/respectable/occasionally winning football program with a quality character like Rhule as coach, than routinely be in the running for a national championship being led by an asshat.

For me, that extends far beyond football.

It goes deeper I think. Rhule is saying that he is all about family and showing up to basketball, volleyball, wrestling and otber sports demonstrates that. Nebraska, is all about family and that extends to all the athletes in all the other sports. That kind of committment, and putting talk into action, is the best way to demonstrate to recruits that while you may be an athlete here, your reach and the ripple effects of your actions travels further than you can imagine. With Matt Rhule, it really is about developing not just the player, but the person as well. Coach Rhule often says, "I want players to leave here saying they're better people for having been here."
