About the Program
Approximately 900 ladies joined the University of Nebraska Football staff in a day filled with the ultimate personal Husker Football experience. The majority of the proceeds went toward breast cancer research with profits being donated to the Southeast Nebraska Cancer Center Foundation and to the UNMC Eppley Cancer Center in Omaha.
This fantastic day took place on Wednesday, June 2, 2010, at the University of Nebraska Athletic Hawks Championship Center and the Osborne Athletic Complex just North of Memorial Stadium on NU’s beautiful city campus. The Husker football coaching staff took part in this fantastic event and several Husker football players also lent their expert advice.
This year’s Football 101 was even more interactive and engaging than ever before. Coach Pelini and every member of Bo's staff participated.
The session on the field with the assistant coaches included drills for the offense, defense and special teams. The participants then put their knowledge to the test by "running the play" in the center of the Hawks Field.
Each group also attended three additional sessions, including an interactive session with the strength coaches and presentations by the athletic medicine, equipment and academic staff. Everyone in attendance got out of their seats and participated in warmups similar to those the Huskers do.
The day concluded with Bo leading the participants in the Tunnel Walk into Memorial Stadium. All breast cancer survivors in attendance were able to take part in a special on-field salute, and were invited to a private reception with Bo following the event's conclusion.
