While he’s now governor, Jim Pillen was once one of the best defenders on his Nebraska Cornhuskers team but he had to fight to get his Blackshirt back.
He’s still in his first year as Governor Pillen but he’s already talking about the things he feels like he learned when he was a member of the Nebraska football team.
Among the topics he touched on, was that when he played for Coach Osborne, no one ever said no.
They just went out and played hard and expected to win. He hopes that the atmosphere will return under Coach Rhule.
