OFF THE BEAT | Dad always knows how to make friends, even cheering for the opposing team

My dad is the kind of person who “has never met a stranger,” and few things have shown me this more than attending sporting events with him as a fan of the visiting team.

I have lived in Manhattan for more than nine years, but I was born and raised in Nebraska and attended the University of Nebraska, and my family and I are all lifelong Husker fans.
