Video WATCH: Nebraska-BC postgame presser with Matt Rhule, Dylan Raiola + more

Tap the link for full postgame presser videos with Rhule, Raiola, Rahmir and Robinson after their Pinstripe Bowl dub inside the home of the Bronx Bombers:

Great article about Rhule's NYC upbringing

“This is very nostalgic. I usually don’t have time to think about this stuff,” Matt said. “... I’m a kid from New York City who’s coaching at Nebraska. It’s kind of wild when you think about it, right?”

It is wild. It’s even wilder when you add more details and context.

He’s a kid from New York City who’s coaching football at Nebraska and gets a chance to coach in Yankee Stadium for the Pinstripe Bowl — decades after he attended games at the old Yankee Stadium as a child.

VERY OT: Omaha baseball hitting coaches

I’m wondering if anyone who post on here knows of a good hitting coach in the Omaha area I could take my 14 year old son who has high school tryouts coming at the end of February to for some lessons. While I would preferably keep it as cheap as I can, I do realize quality comes at a price, so I am willing to shell out the dough for a great coach. Anyways anybody got ideas/connections?
