Return to Story IndexCANCER KID TOUCHDOWN
THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA HELD ITS SPRING GAME THIS WEEKEND -- GIVING A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO A BOY WHO IS BATTLING BRAIN CANCER. REPORTER BRANDI PETERSON HAS HIS STORY. (nats) COACH PELINI'S SURPRISE CALL THAT BROUGHT HUSKER NATION TO ITS FEET: SEVEN-YEAR-OLD JACK HOFFMAN RUNS IN A 69-YARD TOUCHDOWN IN FRONT OF 60-THOUSAND SCREAMING FANS, INCLUDING HIS FRIEND AND IDOL, FORMER HUSKER REX BURKHEAD. "I told him, 'Congrats,' that he looked good. I told him he needs to be the new running back here." BURKHEAD MET JACK IN 2011. THE TWO QUICKLY BECAME FRIENDS, AND JACK BECAME ONE OF THE TEAM'S BIGGEST INSPIRATIONS -- A LITTLE BOY BATTLING BRAIN CANCER. SATURDAY, JACK MOVED FROM THE SIDELINES ONTO THE FIELD. "It's awesome. I mean, Jack, he's a fighter. He's a strong kid. Just to see him get our here, run around, enjoy the Husker experience, it's a dream come true, especially for kids growing up in the state of Nebraska. For Jack to get out here and do it, I know it made his day." ..AND HIS DAD'S. ANDY HOFFMAN SPEAR-HEADED TEAM JACK TO RAISE MONEY AND AWARENESS FOR KIDS EVERYWHERE FIGHTING BRAIN CANCER. SATURDAY WAS ALL ABOUT HIS SON. "You know, it was pretty special. It was very special. I told Coach and all these coaches, you know, they've given Jack so many once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, and to have another one of those once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, I think, speaks volumes about Coach Pelini and the kind of program he has, and really, what he's all about as a person." JACK'S MOMENT WILL GO DOWN IN HISTORY. HE WAS NEBRASKA'S LEADING RUSHER FOR THE DAY. "Way to go, buddy." "It felt awesome." A GAME THESE PLAYERS AND COACHES WILL NEVER FORGET. "It puts it all in perspective what the game's really all about. It is a game. That's why they call it a game. It's great for our players to see that there's just something bigger than this." PASSENGER COMPLAINTS GROW, AS AIRLINES CONTINUE TO SHRINK THE SIZE OF THOSE SEATS. AND -- EATING RED MEAT MAY BE EVEN WORSE FOR YOUR ARTERIES THAN YOU THOUGHT.

Return to Story IndexCRUM SERVICE PKG
CRUM RAN FOR SHERIFF ON A CAMPAIGN THAT FOCUSED ALMOST ENTIRELY ON GETTING RID OF THE DRUG PROBLEM THAT HAS PLAGUED MINGO COUNTY... DURING THIS AFTERNOON'S SERVICE, COMMISSION PRESIDENT JOHN MARK HUBBARD VOWED THAT CRUM'S MISSION WILL LIVE ON... AND SHAME ON ANYONE IN THE ROOM WITHIN THE SOUND OF MY VOICE WHO WILL NOT MAKE SURE THAT THE CHANGE THAT THIS MAN LAID HIS LIFE DOWN FOR DOES NOT CONTINUE. CRUM'S RIGHT-HAND MAN ON HIS DRUG TASK FORCE WAS COMMANDER DAVE ROCKEL, WHO LIVENED THE MOOD A BIT BY RECOUNTING A STORY OF CRUM SHOWING UP TO A SCENE IN CLOTHING THAT WAS, WELL, NOT EXACTLY STANDARD ISSUE... EUGENE ROLLS UP IN HIS CRUISER, HE'S GOT HIS SHERRIFF JACKET ON AND HE'S IN HIS PAJAMAS. I SAID EUGENE, I CAN'T EXPLAIN THIS IF SOMTHIN BAD HAPPENS. HE SAID HE THAT ALRIGHT PAL YOU GOT IT COVERED. I SAID OK. SO WE WENT AHEAD AND TOOK CARE OF IT AND HE'S RIDING AROUND IN HIS PAJAMAS. SO WE TOOK CARE OF IT. I REALLY THINK THAT IF THEY TOLD HIM WE HAD ONE HE'D HAVE JUMPED OUT IN HIS UNDERWEAR AND BEEN THERE. HOOTIE SMITH PROVIDED AN EMOTIONAL BENEDICTION TO CLOSE OUT THE SERVICE AQS A COUNTY PAID ITS RESPECTS TO A MAN WHO HAD ALREADY MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE IN JUST 93 SHORT DAYS ON THE JOB... AND A GRIEVING WIDOW KISSING HER HUSBAND GOODBYE SEEMED TO SYMBOLICALLY SIGNAL THAT WHILE MINGO COUNTY WILL NEVER FORGET THE SACRIFICE MADE BY EUGENE CRUM, IT WILL CONTINUE ON, IN HIS NAME, IN HIS MEMORY, AND IN HIS HONOR...
