“It’s our culture,” Alberts said. “That’s who we are. It’s our toughness, right? Matt recognizes that, and I just love their investment into the state.”
*** Alberts was asked about Nebraska’s season-ticket request list for football.
“People are responding, and we’re a little past where we’ve historically been,” he said, nothing there’s 6,700 requests from people who would like to be part of the season-ticket base.
“We think it’s a really good sign as we get started here.”
*** Alberts said he thinks Rhule will continue with morning practices, as was the case for Nebraska under previous head coach Scott Frost.
*** Alberts thinks the Spring Game on April 22 will be a worthwhile endeavor for everyone involved, including the fans.
