Quote:Needless to say, Nebraska was not going to let federal agents take their beloved trophies without a fight. Upon hearing of the court's action, head coach Scott Frost and defensive coordinator Erik Chinander deployed the entire Blackshirts defense to stop the marshals from seizing the crystal footballs.
Unfortunately for Nebraska, one marshal ran to the right, prompting all eleven defenders to follow him. While the entire defense was doing that arm-crossing throw-the-bones thing in celebration of catching the decoy marshal, the ten other agents took the trophies without being touched.

Quote:The iconic trophies — which the once-vaunted Cornhuskers won while flouting minimum academic standards, complaints from local residents, and the Nebraska Criminal Code in the mid-1990s — were the last thing mentioned in literally every argument about Nebraska football in the last 20 years. They have become so integral to the regular Nebraskan's way of life that the program's fans fired both the former head coach and athletic director, just to throw $35 million at a coach who can't beat Northwestern or Troy but was in the general proximity of the trophies during his early 20s.
