I'm not sorry if this is Germans because this literally brought me to tears. I don't usually get emotional but this really sent me over the edge.

I don't care at all if it Germans, this needed to be brought up again. This is a great great story. Good for the young man for all that he has been through, and what a classy move by Nebraska. Most wonderful sports story I have seen in a while.

Didn't see it earlier. Damn I'm becoming a softy since we had our son. I teared up like crazy at that.

Best thing I've seen all week.

I'll say it again. I was smiling watching that. That was one of the classiest things I've ever seen in sports.

This makes me have a little more faith in humanity.

What is great about stories like this one...is that for a moment in time, the humanity and selflessness that Nebraska did for this young boy reminds all of us, that it is just a game.

What a wonderful gester and major props to Nebraska!
